Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He has offered nothing all year, just isn’t at NRL level.

I’d love to know what Seyfarth does wrong.
He regularly made 2-3 tackles on a row last night. He never misses a tackle and was on the field when the Raiders had most of the ball, so had little opportunity in good attacking field position.
His hit ups were strong without being spectacular, but he was also regularly a support runner, something most of our forwards do not offer.
He is a much better player than many other regular NRL bench players and is now approaching his prime.
The Warriors wanted him and I can assure you he will be picked up by a rival NRL club and will definitely be a regular in the NRL top 17 wherever he goes if we don’t keep him.
Anyone who watches much of the KOE Cup can clearly see Seyfarth, Blore and James are all in the top tier of fringe forwards across the NRL. They are all young enough to keep improving and are extremely valuable players on bottom end contracts.

JWH is actually one of the nicest, softly spoken and friendliest players out there. He is very good with the public. See him all the time at Balmoral

When I look at him with that beard he reminds me of a great big teddy bear, but I wouldn't be giving him a hug anytime soon.

The conditions suited Seyfarth last night. Damp, slower ball to the edges, compressed defensive line meaning less lateral movement. He did well. Day game, dry track, not as effective.

Ok so either Latu Fainu or Olokautou!

 

[hank37w]

Already answered that

Wasn't a very convincing answer though.

Why would they release olokautou?

 

[hank37w]

Same speed as the Canberra half.

Can he emulate his kicking game?

 

[hank37w]

Not having a crack, but saying we're chasing a Manly player after getting Fulton, but we may never hear because they won't release, is pretty close to impossible to disprove.

Sounds like a glock-en-spiel to me.

 

[Bula]

I’d love to see a 50m race between Wakeham, Hastings & Douehi.

Time them with a sundial.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Why would they release olokautou?

Not saying they would but we can ask & he can kick stones. He’s very close to Wayne Lambkin.

Mate I can t be any more unequivocal than that. What part of "we are not paying any freight" was unconvincing?

If you came forward with some specific details it might be a bit more convincing.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Still think he offers more than Seyfarth for us.

Even Blocker would be more valuable to us than Seyfarth!

 

[Mistymuzzle]

You are right, my apologies. Here are the details...

The Wests Tigers are paying 0% of Joe Ofahengue's future contract at the Parramatta Eels. This equates to a sum of $0.00 to be paid over an undisclosed period. you have caught me out and I was hoping you wouldnt ask for details but I am not sure if the $0.00 will be not paid monthly, or if it will not be paid as a lump sum on 01 November.

 

[hank37w]

Now I'm convinced it's bullshit.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Just mean reckon it'll be the other guy if true.

Free to not believe me mate, just dont call me champ.

 

[hank37w]

Free to not believe me mate, just dont call me champ.

I wouldn't do that, I have more respect for people on this forum.

We need something more on our attack, especially when attacking the opponents line.
It’s being stated Newcastle need to shed players due to salary cap issues.
Lachie Miller is a brilliant ball runner with decent ability to create for others, could do worse than him as our 5/8.

With Wighton going to Souths to play left centre, we could do alot worse than grabbing Isaiah Tass to replace Tommy Talau
