Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I like Blore. But in a team that will need to fit Fa'agutu & Lualili'i into the lock role, along with Pole in the rotation, Twal & Seyfarth- there are only so many jerseys to hand out.

Olam becomes our best centre immediately. And there are no Fa'gutu's or Laulili'i's coming through this season in the centres.
 
No brainer for me but of course the Tigers for reasons that are inexplicable want to keep Nofa.

Extend Staines, keep Blore and ship Nofa off to wherever would be the ideal, imo.
It’s not that they want to keep Nofa. Benji has tried to shop him around, nobody wants him. Which given his form is not surprising so we are stuck with him until his contract expires. I can see him being kicked to the lower grades.

IMO Blore's future is as an impact prop (not lock or backrow) with offloading ability - something we don't have. Klemmer, Stef & Twal are high minutes workhorses. Pole will hopefully be an impact prop but lacks the offloading atm likewise Faagutu is a year or 2 away.

If Blore is against this, then I'd be happy to explore.

Don’t resign Seyfarth and sign Olam + keep Blore
 
Hopefully we can & create room to resign Staines. Then recruit a solid hooker on a T&T contract to depth behind Api & TDS. Maybe a Cade Cust or Nathaniel Roache type who Fulton knows all too well.

I think Benji would want to recruit a bench utility too who can relieve Api & cover other positions too while TDS builds reps in Cup. Karl Lawton perhaps??? But again we would need to create another spot.
 
Where Would that leave Staines?
I think we need Olam and Staines. Our centre depth is so poor. Olam may turn into a BJ, but I don't think so. BJ was overweight and lazy. I have not seen Olam like this. Olam's confidence may be low after being dropped and a new start may be good. My concern is if her is carrying an injury that is affecting his performance.

Api, TDS, Sullivan, matamua all capable of Playing 9…if we loose Simpkin a winger/centre would be priority
