Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Todd Packer]

Castleford Tigers fans are protesting how bad their team is by refusing to leave the stadium after the game. Security can't get them out.
No petitions for them!

We are in no position to be losing a player like Twal.My biggest criticism of him is that he takes a one out hitup on the 4th or close to the tryline,that’s probably more to do with our halves and lack of options .
He started the year in red hot form ,had a mid season slump,but he’s back to playing at a high level.
Twal,Klem and Stefano is a pretty good prop rotation.We need to turn James or Pole into a Leniu type.

We have a definite need for a fast, big, powerful outside back who can finish, take high balls & is good defensively.

Thomas Jenkins, off contract at Penrith & may be the victim of their depth in the backs. Worth a good look.

Yes a good player from Cowra or Young. Plays well for the Panthers when given the opportunity.

Would be great to get Luke Garner back!!

At one stage in our 5 year plan he was our best outside back. He was also our only edge forward who could break through a hole, while simultaneously catching a pass.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

When you look at positions it would be buying Garner and losing Kepaoa which makes it sound a lot better. As for Twal I love him but if it's not this year then with Stefano,Klemmer, Pole, James, Blore moving to the middle and Samuela Fainu and then Faagatu and Miller coming through then at some stage he may become surplus to needs although personally I think it may be a year away yet.

A much better option for a Centre/Back Row utility instead of Keapaoa or Garner is Kayal Iro, on the outer at the Sharks. Hopefully we are looking into.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Garner only deserves a train and trial imo
He’s been found out at the riff unable to turn it on with the best around him

Can’t see best leaving Newcastle at all

Isn’t that Matt Feagai that’s playing first grade regularly?

Yeah I know I wasn't saying Max was playing first grade.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

So looks like we are relying on our crop of Juniors to fill most of the Top 30 for 2024. Next year we will mist likely struggle hope I am wrong with 2025 looking like our best chance to play finals in a very long time

Wow , can’t work out any of this , to early in the morning , can we expain this one a little better

 

[Vicious]

If there is any truth to the rumour that we are keen on signing Luai from 2025, why would we then bother on signing Sullivan as Fainu was signed to be one of our halves long term.
We need short term experience in the halves to help us get through until the young players we have are hopefully ready to fulfil their potential at NRL level.
I’m not a huge fan of Sezer, but if we signed him and Adam Clune and let them fight it out for our starting 7 spot for a season or two, that would probably be a good outcome.

Merlot, my man, you have the happy knack of taking the most complex thoughts and ideas and presenting them in a really simple, easy-to-understand form.

 

[426Tlgerland]

I just hope we can start signing players we need in the position we need
we need a 7 buy a natural 7 etc
Sullivan , Sezer , Wilson , Watson , Best , lets get going

Is that the code recruitment use

 

[Fallen Angel]

Im thinking 2024 is going to be not that much different than 2023.
Im getting the same as you.

Angry because every year seems to be same old story, next year will be better.

And next year always seems to be when all these magical signings are coming.

If the juniors become quality players. Most don't. It's a massive step up.

It's called the red wine codec. 🙂

Maybe cos it’s BS

Jai Field scored another 3 tries for Wigan and involved in a couple more.
He needs to be playing NRL.

Agree. Similar to Luke Metcalf. Speed to burn. What position is he playing over there.. 6?
