Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hope Sezer is ok with playing 1 year then (he should be).

We have Luai, Sullivan and Fainu fighting it out for the halves spot. No wonder Galvin is kinda looking at the exit.

How does benji want to use Luai,
As an organising half or an of the cuff 5/8 as he is at Penrith ?
Will probably be decided by how Sullivan goes in 24. Or if one of the younger boys gets an opportunity and impress.
A lot of water to go under the bridge before we know.

We need the depth and the forward planning.

Sezar will be good for our young halves and be a a handy back up if extended.

Good planning before Luai was available.

Look maybe I am too harsh on Sezer. Depth halve like Will smith this year, doesn't play unless needed.... Cap space eater but I get it.

Just now we have:
Fainu
Sullivan
AD (or lets be honest, Doueihi off to the glue factory already).

But Sullivan's contract is very long term, 4 years. Fainu, Galvin and Luai...
It's good problems to have except this just eats a stack of cap space. Poor strategic planning due to us panic buying

If Fainu and Sullivan live up to expectations, it’s going to be hard enough trying to fit them both in when Luai is here. Sezar is just not needed come 25.

You want his address and medicare number as well? Someone has already posted a close approximation to his name already and we shouldnt be outing people here

No I have a Medicare card thanks. And what’s this approximation thing, that doesn’t help, I don’t see the big deal.
Ok, what was his association with the club to get outed?
 
I’m pretty sure Pom was just a regular dude. I went through his post history a few times, and early on he was just a regular dude, giving his opinion like the rest of us. Somewhere along the line though, he obviously got himself some connections. Will go down as probably the best insider the forum has ever had.

Would love to have a beer with him and hear all about the SS Leaky ship under Pascoe. Glad that ship’s sailed.

Hopefully Benji uses Luai as he was at Penrith.

He and Sezer will make a good combination .

But the one I'm looking out for is the Luai/Fainu combo.

If Fainu reaches his potential two big quality halves playing direct into the line, passing late ,normally that's top 4 stuff.

Me too. Really fine young defender too
whereas there are a few question marks
with Bud + his past injuries. Hope both come
good. We'll have a whole year of auditions

Shame that Tupou isn’t wanting to hang around and run into the gaps they will be creating , hopefully Galvin and Solomone 1 and 2 (aimalo and saukua) are able to 😅😍🥰

Games changed alot lately with all the rule changes etc.

I suppose with benji and Morris only recently retired probably gives them extra insight.

Both played together as well so.

Anyway, don't think we'll see much sideways running going forwards.

Wasn’t there a legendary thread on LU that year that some Tiger hater made before round 1, going on and on about how we’d get the spoon. Pretty sure @innsaneink could confirm.
Click to expand...
Yeah... I think a member named 'Tigger' very pro balmain fella started a thread I think about 2005 trials time titled "why the spoon is headed to Cambo"
It lasted for years with the OP getting ripped about it constantly


Edit sorry gal didn't see yiur post... Spot on!

On Tupou, it leaves us in a tricky spot. We don't have much depth in the backs but there's also zero point in developing a project player if they're going to leave.

Given how many stars Dolphins have in the backs I don't even see him starting up there. No idea why they'd offer 500k+. He's not proven enough to warrant that Payday. If he does sign with Redcliffe we should look to offload him immediately, not sure who we can swap for though. No point in keeping Him, Blore or Nof, but we can't just rely on rookies either
