Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Been screaming for this for nearly forever…. I’ve watched him play closely for a while always had my eye he’s gonna be a terrific first grader

He’s the one.

If we want a 7 it has to be him
We need to make him an offer he cannot refuse. ASAP as well before the Dogs pounce as Hunt will stay at dragons now
 
If I’m Scott Fulton (which I’m not) but if I was I’d putting all my chips in for Latu Fainu and Jonah Pezet.

These two could be the best partnership in the NRL in 4-5 years they have serious serious potential, Pezet has played some FG and didn’t look out of place. Fainu hasn’t yet but if you’ve followed him you know he has FG ability.

With Api and our forwards packs experience, also having a coach like Benji could mentor them it’ll be massive for not only us but them.

Fainu is behind DCE and Schuster
Pezet is behind Munster and Hughes

Offer them decent money with first grade positions and it’ll be appealing idc what anyone say

Fainu has a good relationship with Fulton and his brother is already with us. Whilst Pezet isn’t cracking the team ever over Hughes/Munster will forever be origin back up and Bellamy will be gone end of next year too.

A potential spine where we can build towards with Api eventually retiring could look like this:

1. Bula
6. Fainu
7. Pezet
9. Da Silva

No brainer for me

Im not saying we shouldnt pursue them and i don't doubt that a first grade spot and huge salary would be appealing.
But, when have you known the Storm to release a player from their contract early?
Additionally, if I were advising Fainu (who is already reportedly the highest ever paid teenager in the game) I'd be saying DCE is like 36?, there is constant speculation about Schuster's future. I don't think you will need to be waiting long for your chance at Manly.
 
In that case is DCE an option for 2 years? Seems a waste if Fainu is ready in 24’
Fainu is ready in that he would be a competent half in 24. But he is not ready in that he would be a top tier half in 24. Manly would not want to part with DCE, he is an upgrade on nearly every half-back in the comp. Maybe if they are under extreme cap pressure you might get Manly interested. But even then, how do you get DCE interested?
 
Just reading about Flanagan to Saints and Hunt staying out to play half back.
Two things there, one is we aren’t getting Hunt and two, interesting to see if Flanno can do anything with Saints , seeing as he really didn’t get to first base applying to us.

DCE can play at an elite level for another 3/4 years he lives ultra clean looks after his body very smart guy I have meet him through a guy I know who pays him a TPA an is a very impressive individual on TV at times he doesn't come across that well

We mite have a chance poaching a half from Manly if DCE keeps on playing
