Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That Blaze Talugi kid can play after tonight I’m sure he’ll get a lot of calls over a fullback spot, if not I’d be calling his manager asap with a spot somewhere in our backline.

A lot of connections at the tigers as well - food for thought.

What connections does Blaze have here?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The way Stef’s played over the last few weeks I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already agreed to go elsewhere…

He hasn’t really played any different to how he usually does.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

If we lost Stefano,

But signed Xavier Willison, Trey Mooney and Luke Garner... how would you feel?

Better!

He played in rep. sides with Galvin.

RE Fifita - the struggling clubs pay $$$ for these guys to stick around and hope to be competitive while they cripple their salary cap, only for them to go to better clubs for less (with a lot of perks - and it aint just finals footy).

We (the crap clubs) get worse, and the better clubs get better.

It's a broken system.

Ahh ok I didn’t know that. If we put in an offer I’m not against it, although I don’t think we’ll promise him fullback. I reckon Centre with the possibility of becoming Fullback if we do try and get him.

He’s got a bit of Reece Walsh in him, an excitement machine with playmaking skills to go with his dynamic running game, but also has a few mistakes in him.
He would help ignite our attack from fullback.

Better!

Willison is a gun...bends the line far more than Sefano....

I think the reason why the fans are concered in loosing Stefano is we feel as if we wont get an as good a replacement....

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Khan-Perriera from the Titans has been left out of the side again under Des…. if the plan moving forward is a Turuva and Olam centre combination then we desperately need a winger with the departure of Tupou.

Titans also desperately need a halfback or hooker asap… offering either Bud or Simpkins for AKP wouldn’t be a bad option.

Try scoring machine at 22.

A sullivan swap for K-P would be sublime

Well Richo has said no more signings for 25. Luai can’t come quick enough but not sure it’s enough playing behind this pack. I hope I am wrong but maybe our juniors arent as good as they were saying.

There was a moment last he night he did a pirouette on the attack. It was barely noticeable, but I can really see him doing 2 or 3 in the one run here. I’m banking on it becoming a running joke. And not through any fault of his own, he just won’t have any options on his outside.

The ute's as good as The Pillow MK 2 in his later days. Surprised he hasn't started running into the line backwards yet.
He has great potential like others we have and have had but just haven't reached it with us.

I'm really hoping they can teach our squad how to push up and support in numbers or I think we could make Luai bald.

I think we will get a better idea of what Luai can bring as a halfback over the next few weeks. When Cleary was out previously Schneider stepped up and Luais role didn't change. I believe Schneider suffered a leg injury last night and will be out for a while too, meaning Luai probably does actually play 7 with Cole remaining in 6.

Not feeling confident over the next two weeks. Penrith haven't lost one in a while, Warriors are hungry for a win and Nicho has a point to prove. I can see them losing both games

Criticism of Stef over the top in my opinion. Not like he turned in Blair like stats. Against Canterbury, Zero missed tackles, 3 offloads, tackle busts. 82m not terrible considering possession and finishing stint including 10 mins with 11 men.

Some love to turn on their own.

 

[weststigerman]

If we list Stefano and signed just Willison it would be good for us, but we are no chance of getting Willison.

I’d love to get Willison but he’s still a downgrade on Stef.

I think people underestimate how hard it is to perform at a high level at WT vs doing it at a top 4 club.

 

[versa]

Get after Blaze Tulagi.

Bodes well for Luai and Turuva.

It does depend on whether he wants to stay or not. If he triggers the escape clause, then he can go the moment that happens as far as I care, but if he wants to stay and work for it, he is welcome and very much appreciated by me. FWIW I reckon he will stay.
