Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Needaname]

For fullback I would chase Suruva from Penrith. He is Api's cousin and very close plus he won't want to stay on the wing and they won't dump Edwards.

I think Isaah Longi has the long term fullback spot.
Turuva has a long term opportunity on the wing though.
Was sounded out by the Dolphins, met with Wayne but ultimately resigned with the Panthers shortly after.

The size of the backs playing today, has changed the game. The Eagles both backs and forwards are big , powerfull and fast. This i think is the prototype of the future. The light wingers get bulldozed in attack and defence, the big halves take more bodies to stop them, thus creating space. Very much like American football, we are going bigger and faster. When you look at the top sides backs, we look small.

We do have 1 in Junior Tupou

You might be forgetting the part where every player that sets foot at Concord loses 50% of their playing ability.

It depends, Hodgson played the best for the WT, also, Tedesco was always one of our best and selected for the Origin.

Tommy to have a chance to rebuild his game in NSWCup

Need a spot in the top 30.

Swap with Seyfarth might be a goer or Nofa.

Can we please stop suggesting to sign mediocre outside backs?! We already have a heap. Either promote juniors or sign quality...Jayden and Waqa don't improve our defence, or hands for that matter, they are both terrible under the high ball. I'd prefer Kayal Iro.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Why?

he has no interest in coming here, he will stay at sharks.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

All I see is failed attempts to beat players on the outside. He doesn’t have any real sidestep or explosive power. Just my take.

The players at 1, 2, 3 and 5, 6, 7 need to be traded/upgraded long before Nadan. IMHO.

Have wanted him for a while, gun player but he was extended at the Panthers few months back doubt he will be released unless we trade them someone.

Panthers aren''t really short on outside backs. Maybe they would take Seyfarth lol!

We can always try 😉 . they took Eisenhuth!

That was a long time ago. I remember Moylan being selected ahead of Tedesco for some reason.

Money talks does it not?

If this ever happened then It would be amazing.

Have to admit, you’d be quite annoyed sitting behind either Hughes or Munster for 5 more years..

Melb would take him for sure their backs are dropping like flies and they lack depth, as bad as Nofa has been for us they'd take him over Grant Anderson.

Pezet is strictly a back up half... imo he's Nico Hynes 2.0 without the versatility of playing fullback and can't play 9 so he won't really be a good 14 at all

Melb wouldn't release him for no reason because he's still a good back up, however if we offered Nofa who has already been in that system they'd take it - they get a starting calibre player to fill a void they're lacking in significantly and we get a very promising 7

Can we do it before this weekend, before he inevitably carves us up?

I agree with both of you, yeah I wanna FB better than Kennedy, like teddy or RTS, but Kennedy is better than what we have and also a go’er who doesn’t stop on a play, and is available at the end of the season.
Still I think we give stains the FB role for the rest of the year and hopefully he can be our man. Save the extra money for a new 6/7.

Unfortunately stubborn Sheens will probably pick and then persevere with Doueihi at full back for what will no doubt seem like an eternity.

Can only hope that it doesn't turn out to be a complete disaster.

Watched him very closely last week - very good footballer he'll trouble us

Yeah, stupid me, forgot about that.

I would argue both Klem and Bates came to us for long juicy rich contracts.
