Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I still think we need to sign a centre that can hit hole at pace. Not sure there is anyone on the market

If we let Ice go...

Our backrow options are Tumeth or Sukkar to replace him & partner Bateman.

Or Blore (better at prop)

And we still don't have a genuine 13, just props playing the role.

They have got an other another year to replace him …

It’s letting Ice go one year early for a better player … I don’t get why people would be against the idea

It comes down to what each of us see in players and that is the nature of this forum. I have a very high regard for Papali'i' and believe he is an excellent player for our club. AFB as a player is very good but I cannot recall if he has completed a contract at an NRL club.

he actually played below the level of his contract last year . Don’t pretend he didn’t

When you turn someone’s own line back around on to them, try not to do it by stating a point that person just acknowledged in their previous post.

* Got terminated at the dragons.
Assaulted his partner, at the time.

* Left Manly on compassionate grounds - wanted to get away from Sydney.
Think he was hanging with bad influences.

* Now he wants to leave NZ to be closer to family in Sydney, sick parents, I believe.

yeah I understand what he has done … but does that mean he will do it again to get out of a 3 yr @ a Million a year contract?

Dude will be 29 in 2025 :.: probably his last big deal … doubt he is walking away from that

I just like to know a player is committed to our club and its goals. It is ironic that Papali'i has come in for criticism on this forum for allegedly not being committed to our club yet some want AFB. I want AFB as well but not at the expense of Papali'i.

Never know what the future holds....

I think he could really find a home at the Tigers.
We got the Fainu bros who is close with.... and I'm sure he'd get along with the rest of the lads.


3 year deal with us, with the vision and the plan to push us from the bottom to the top... playing under Benji. There's a lot to like.

mate .. it would be great to get AFB for nothing… but he is still contracted to the Warriors so what’ve do we do ? They want a player back to give him up … I’ve heard their CEO say it … It could work in our favour as I don’t see who the Dogs are giving up ?

AFB was one of the two best props in the game last year … him and Stef could be something that could really give the pack a bite we have not seen at the WT before

Players often may look like they’re not fully committed because they’re running low on enthusiasm and after 24 games under the current coach only conjured up 4 wins. Winning can provide enthusiasm, which in turn injects energy. And we all know that energy is like compound interest…the more you get the more you get.

They have requested Villiame Kikau from the Bulldogs and Jayden Su’a from the dragons.
They’ve given us two options. I wonder why no one is considering Stef. Trade one prop for another.
One up and comer for one in their prime.
Alongside Klemmer we’d still have a decent starting front row. And a more NOW ready team.
Stef is still probably 2 years off hitting his straps, I like him but he doesn’t influence a game at front row yet and that’s what we need.
Waiting in the wings you have Pole, Fainu x2, Millar in development. Plus the ever reliable Twal and who knows who else pops up in 24/25.
