Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Faitala Mariner told he can leave the Dogs. Thoughts? Probably can't fit him in but could be a good, experienced cheapie.

alamoti a chance

That would be disappointing. We have no need for him. He's worse than Feledy and older. There's certainly not room for both him and Feledy in our top 30.

We need fast backs. Small, stocky powerful ones have got us nowhere in recent years.

 

[Telltails]

I can't see any improvement from buying Bulldogs rejects given that they are having as much trouble assembling a competitive squad as we are. This situation is dire if that's what we are reduced to.

 

[Sunnycoast_tiger]

I would rather Thomas Jenkins.

Don't mind Alamoti. Was the next big thing in the NRL centre ranks not too long ago. Reckon the dogs should have stuck with him. Plenty of future potential. He lives and breathes league. Interesting that one of the guys he has looked up to previously and based his game off is Olam.

I'd be very careful taking a bulldogs reject. There's a reason they were rejected.

 

[Kaito]

New forwards/assistant coach please 🤌🏼😆

All players on the market are rejects from one club or the other

 

[supercoach]

I would rather Thomas Jenkins.

Agreed he is a potential Campbell Grahame style centre

 

[Magpies1969]

Thomas Jenkins seems to be quality but with Crighton moving to the Doggies he might be first in line to replace him. We would need to offer him big bucks to move to the back to back Wooden Spooners.

PLus look at why they are leaving.

Cameron Ciraldo wants to train the squad hard. Maybe a fraction too hard, yet this is exactly what we need.
Hard training and high work ethic.
Pick any of these bulldogs rejects we will get lower trainers and people who disagree with a new coach.

exactly what Benji does not need.

supreme talent but I'd rather us steer clear. he's a player project that is ideal for an experienced coach. we need experienced, solid outside backs that are already developed. Alamoti is not that just yet.

I would love to have him as a forwards coach here but the last time he was here his wife was homesick and the main reason he left

 

[2041]

Move on AD for 2024 and sign him in train and trial 2025

Try and bring in Olam and maybe Oates

How are you planning to move Doueihi on? He's under contract and won't play until mid-season at best. Who do you think is going to take him?

 

[boonboon]

Alamoti would be a great option much prefer him over Jenkins. Always better to take a good player from a crap club then a solid player from a good club.

Wonder if Staines could centre?

If we are looking at him, it would only be if Kepaoa is moved on. Alamoti is a tackle busting centre seen as a potential future backrower. Does not possess the speed we need as our first choice outside back recruit. As @balmain boy said, Benji will be seeking speed given our squad’s deficiency in speed & x-factor.

the club should have front loaded his 24 contract this year

Would be great for our culture @Kaito , could it be happening!!!! My query is whether he has enough experience for our assistant role given it’s been reported that we are after another experienced asst coach like a Craig Sandercock. I wonder though, if Furner moves on, could we have 3 assistant coaches like this year. Morris, Ellis & another with experience???
