Blore. Sean Blore. Thanks Hal.

We disrespected size when we re-signed the Slenders (Twal and Seyfarth) then released our meat axe to the Storm

You send Twal and Seyfarth to Melbourne. Same story.

From trash to treasure

Bennett also.

Angus Crichton will end up in Rugby unfortunately. Pretty much inevitable.

If we want an edge forward however, look no further than Helium Luki..... Benji/Morris/Farah/Heighno and the boys can give Todd a call and try get something done.

Finefueiki and Nanai have those 2 edge rower spots locked up for the next decade.

Wanted Luki a few years back also.
He has had some bad luck injury wise but he is quality and has a high work rate that is effective.

Thought we were after Finefueiki?

We are zero chance of getting Luke who I just read has te-signed with the Ciwboys or Finefueki.
Both will stay with Cowboys long term, we have to make our recruitment targets more realistic.

Lomax murmurings again. Could be very interesting.

I think people are thinking about Crichton under the guise of three or four years ago. He’s not the same player. He’s cooked.

It never ceases to amaze me how people on here can't comprehend that players do not stay at their peak forever.

Pretty sure Pearce went to Knox, but didn't play a heap for them due to league commitments.

Pearce went to North Shore. Played him in high school MCC. Him & Foran were the halves from year 10 to 12. In year 10 they have a bloke on the wing called Matt Shirvington. They were unstoppable.

If there was one player off-contract, I'd pay overs for to get him it's Turuva. He is what we need on the wing!

Pass….. would have about as much impact as Staines. I would target someone that would terrorise his opposite number. Look for another “TEPPANYAKI”

They learn pretty fast when they get here

Angus Crichton now is still 3 X Seyfarth

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Lomax isn’t even that good. It’s not a good sign if are being pushed out to the wing at the Dragons.

Then we're getting value for once because Seyfarth would be on about a quarter of what Crichton is on.

It’s interesting because they have a major logjam forming something will have to give for them - can’t see one of them wanting to be a bench player for a few years.

You could be right, but the way I see it we will be struggling to attract anyone who is a top 17 regular at their current club.
That’s not the end of the world as there is plenty of quality who are not currently on their teams top 17, they are the players we should be targeting contracted or not.

That’s not the case though.

We managed to lure Papa, Api, Klemmer, Olam, Bateman, Fainu and Luai. It’s clear we can attract players now. We were close on AFB as well.

The key is the right players and balance whilst ensuring the development squad supporting them can develop.

Never at Knox, Barker boy then Marist Bros.

 

[rugbygoated]

Wanted Turuva before he hit NRL, he is exactly what we need on 1 wing & can cover fullback / center also. He has always been a meter eater & not shy from high work rate/involvement.

also has the connection with api and bula in fiji camp

Api is his cousin.
Connections wouldn’t be an issue.
I doubt he will want to leave the Panthers anyway & we won’t exactly be making world shaking offers for him (well hope we won’t).
Good to dream.
