Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Our centres are garbage. Very surprised that no-one is mentioning Feledy. Should be getting to the point where he is playing 1st grade, but we botched his development by not letting him play most of last year in KOE cup despite our lack of talent there

Sounds like a done deal. Well worth the whole listen. If not fast forward to about the 33 minute mark.

I had a listen thinking perhaps you were just reading too much into it. I was 100 percent wrong sounded like he was already a Tiger and Richardson wants him as out captain. Wonder what the hold up is on the announcement of his signing is.

Just taking Flippers name out of your post has done wonders for my well being. I was about to go to the mental health thread.
Yeah Bula is a gun, and would be any where in the backline, we need to get the best FB coach on the planet here for the next 12 months to coach Bula, and Large, Mason, etc.
It’s obvious we need decent outside backs now, we have a decent pack (could use another NRL standard prop or SRF), we have a bunch of halves plus hopefully another rep 5/8, and I reckon we could name a decent enough bench, but NRL outside backs are require asap.
It’d be nice if 2 or 3 of these young blokes could have a year like Bulas. I’m no expert on our young blokes but if say Miller, Fa’agautu, Fainu, Sukarau, Gavin or the like, if just a couple of these names have bust out years we could have a decent team and season.

Flippers, Tuna potential, nice with Rice and seaweed.

Reminds me of Tripod's "surfers Paradice the Musical". These were songs Tripod wrote in under 1 hour, on live radio, made from Random words Will Anderson/Adam Spencer threw at them.

Honestly it's die laughing stuff. Sorry the word "flipper" has set me off there.

Feledy missed half doz tackles on debut. Maybe a few more games against men would’ve had him more prepared for tackling at NRL level. Anyway I think we should have him playing reserves minimum this year and work out if he’s a keeper by the end of the year, and it’s real easy to judge. If he can improve his defensive game over this offseason/year and be a fairly dominant centre in Cup, then I’d say keep. If he shows no defensive improvement in his game then he’d need to be scoring 6 tries a game otherwise he’s going. I’m only keeping youngsters that are prepared to work on their flaws. Especially ones that can see their own flaws.

I would have to imagine it was the 10 day period or missed the cut off for the NRL to sign it off.

It would have been a nice Xmas gift, and I could see the club's memberships growing with the announcement as well.

Feledy definitely needs to spend the season as one of the FT KOE centres

Yeah im of the same opinion until i had a listen sounded like with almost everything he said it was done. I reckon the hold up is just when the best time to announce it is. He was practically gushing about Luai he obviously rates him extremely highly. Talked about him in the same breath of Inglis and Burguess to Souths at the time.

Yeah it was very direct from Richo wasn’t it.
Expecting Luai to be in the captain candidate as well.

Mentions Twal as a must have squad player also which was interesting

I think Luai needs to mature a bit to become captain but as a player he can definitely lead. I think at Penrith they tolerate and condone his antics even when it's a bit over the top. Ivan Cleary doesn't have an issue with it
