Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Except defence. That's why he's been released from his past 2 clubs...
He is what he is and he won't be getting any better.

But for some reason we've already re-signed him for another 2 seasons after this one, without him earning it.

Hes actually an ok defender..its his decision making which constantly holds him back,whether on field or off field.Seems to have cleaned up his act,so issue is whether hes coachable

 

[finnzo]

fultons strength at manly was identifying good young players and brining them into first grade I’d imagine his role would be very similar here but instead of picking players from us he will be helping them play for our team

Paul Almonti .. Bulldogs centre being forced out as Dogs recruiting builds .. would he worth going after .. young strong and really quick

I'd rather Averillo who's also coming off contract, he's as good a Centre but can also fill in at 1 and 6 if required

 

[clontarfkid]

He's young and strong, but he isn't quick at all.

Promising player though for his age.

Tommy Talau 2.0..future backrower
If u want one of these types,Best is available at a premium,and played very well last w/e
Personally,Id be putting my $$ into a proven 6 or 7 who adds value immediately over Wakeham(who is improving each week, but not quite NRL atm)
Hunt ..maybe ask in a month or two after SOO)),as despite a stellar 2022 he hasnt been delivering this season and at age 33 and $1.2 mill..not so sure
Im still a Blake Taafe fan tbh..perfect 7 to support Brooks at 6..and less than half Hunts $$...

One to watch this week is Junior Pauga for the Roosters. Unwanted by us. Signed with North Sydney on a NSW Cup contract. Smashing it in NSW Cup. Now getting a start with the Chooks. Robbo has dropped Tupou & Paulo. Could have been one that got away.

Much prefer our Tupou & Nofa seems to have found his mojo again but could have been handy to hold on to on reasonable $$$. Can play centre & wing.

From what I have seen, yes he is strong, but he is nowhere near quick, I would pass

Making his debut for roosters at centre hey... lol, wonder what mistakes he'll make in that one.

Yeah the fast one is Averillo

I wonder if Robo explained the rule about a short dropout.😂

Short answer no.

I still have nightmares about him touching a ball that hasnt travelled the required distance.

No Mate,
He'll forever be the one that 'Doesn't know a ball needs to travel 10m from a drop out'

So I’m wondering why he was let go ?
Any feedback ?

Not long ago Gus was talking him up as the next big thing...

Which may be Gus speak for make him an offer and get him off our books. Most savvy GMs say nothing about the good ones !!

Tupou is coming back from injury, not dropped.

He’s no good.

Very good reserve grade winger/finisher but defence isn’t NRL standard.

Where do I start?

Bad hands, bad defence, doesn't know the rules.

But what’s really the problem 🤣🤣

 

[hank37w]

He said, "Where do I start?"

He hasn't gotten to the end of the issues yet.
