Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If I'm head of recruitment, focus on:

- RTS for fullback (experience, can play 'front foot' footy & backup Api up the middle, mentor Bula, marquee signing important for Club marketing)
- Bula into top 30 (wing, with focus on replacing RTS at fb when he retires)
- Sezer for halfback (experienced, still got a good 2-3 seasons in him, controlling halfback)

Then for 5/8, we see how Wakeham, Doeuhi, Brooks progress this season, & recruit/promote a young gun Joseph O'Neill, Oliver Lawry, Ethan Sanders.

I like starting Bula off on the wing. He’s an amazing athlete. But his footy nous/understanding is really lacking imo. It’s hard to pick that up, people tend to have it or not, and he’s had such a limited league background I wonder if he’ll ever get the requisite mental part of the game to an elite level.

Could always ask the question… he got a sniff of NRL just recently and looked like he belonged I doubt he’ll wanna be patient enough to not play FG esp when you’re behind Munster and Hughes when there’s a starting 7 NRL opportunity waiting for you

I see both points tho

Agree. No shame in asking and getting knocked back.

For mine we need to be ready to pounce on the games next out and out 18-19yo superstar. If we have that Moses money then much of it needs to go to the next Suaalii. Good footy judges should be able to identify these guys.

From my rough calculations we would have close to $3m+ to spend.

Fullback & 2 halves we have saved cash for at least plus a few off contract next season as well.

Spending money isn’t our issue, quality players available are.

Unless Wakeham makes it but it doesn't seem likely. It'd be great if he did.

I reckon Staines could do the job at fullback. Who knows AD might show something this time around as well.

I reckon we can fill the fullback or 6 spot though. The 7 spot has been a problem for years on end.

We need to prioritise it, identify someone whether it's a Mitchell Pearce for a short term project or sign a young guys and make a long term plan. Dodd from St Helens is 21 and already a complete package, he'd be the guy I'd chase hard. Love to get a package deal with Welsby playing fullback too
