Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigers]

Look at the video again. Faalogo didn't have the space to deliver a "fully loaded" punch to the face, Williams had 10m to load up and deliver to someone looking the other way, and Flower delivered his 2nd blow to someone unable to defend themselves due to being knocked out already. Faalogo may have intended to knock Anasta out, but intent means little if you can't execute. Have a good night 🙂

I thought we agreed to disagree? I still disagree. Your analysis is flawed. But I won't change your mind, so I left it. Why haven't you?

Lomax in for the newly vacated 30th spot? There was suddenly some noise around him a day or two ago.

As always, could be BS

No way the Dragons let him go

Alex Lobb to be given top 30 contract

Manly’s one was more creative, getting players to draw the logo’s of opposition clubs.

You raised a point on your way out, I just responded to that point. Agreeing to disagree is not raising further points while critiquing my analysis at the same time. That's just asking to continue the discussion 🙄

It may end up happening but definitely won't be first choice. He is locked on a dev contract until end of 25 and hasn't even made his first grade debut. We also had very little room to move with our 2025 top 30 spots so that would be another reason I don't see us just upgrading Lobb at this point. We already have around 10 that don't have 20 first grade games combined.

Why do we just automatically make the assumption that another club will sign all 3? I know that’s what they would like, but it’s probably not going to happen.

I’d be more than happy to make an offer to Taylan and Terrel, if they don’t come no great loss.

As they say, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Actually 3 out of 3 would be terrible if it included Tyrone.

Hahaha this is exactly what you did, so I responded. 🙄

Anyway, I haven't got time to argue with you. You're entitled to an opinion and I respect that.

Where'd you see this?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Not a huge fan of signing "brothers"just because ONE of them is what we need.Done it already,and jury remains out
If Nofa is truly gone,we can take our time ..get thru half a dozen games or so..see whats on the market..and remain opportunistic
We have little idea of what we need atm...it will be clearer in April

We could use 2 of them for sure abit like the Fainu boys setup.

No not quite. But you're entitled to an opinion on that as well, even if it is wrong. Have a good night 😊

Who's the favourites to be our wingers come the start of the season?

I’d say Staines and Toupu are very short odds

Staines is locked in for the left wing for me.

I would say Lobb or Tupou on the right wing. Based on the timing of all the positivity around Lobb I would say it might be him. Could potentially solve the issue of long term goalkicker moving forward too.

I reckon it'll be the other way round.

Staines right wing, Tupou left wing.

 

[Vicious]

I reckon it'll be the other way round.

Staines right wing, Tupou left wing.

Will be interesting to see how motivated Tupou is considering he is departing at the end of the season.
I’m a big fan of his, but no doubt motivation was a problem for him, even before signing elsewhere.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I reckon it'll be the other way round.

Staines right wing, Tupou left wing.

I could definitely see it going that way, just would hope we could build a Staines / Olam / Papali'i combo that Luai could slot into.

 

[Bones]

I reckon it'll be the other way round.

Staines right wing, Tupou left wing.

I wouldn’t rule out Naden starting on 1 wing. Given Topou is leaving anyway he might have to bide his time.

I am sure he will be motivated to compete as much as possible and leave on a good note tbh. Wouldn't want to give a sour impression to his next club by not trying now that he has a new contract.
