Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tell him to be patient … we have a lot of juniors… we will be a marquee club soon

Sitili Tupouniua now given permission to talk to other clubs as he is not valued there with Butcher bros, Siua Wong, David Fifita, and possibly Crichton there next year. Don't be shocked if we make an offer for him

Tell him he can play alongside Luai and Bula what more could he ask for,

And Adam Doueihi isnt .. ?? I dont believe we can afford to keep AD on our books .. too much of an injury risk .. what we desperately need is a big hard running forward .. someone who make something out of nothing .. we have Stefano who sometimes runs hard does and bends the defense line .. Sam Fainu is showing great signs of being our best forward .. not sure if Creichton is that payer .. could Jordan Millar be this player in the next few seasons .. ?? but we need a good forward .. !!

Jordan Miller is starting in koe.he will be ready for first grade next year.

Jordan Miller is starting in koe.he will be ready for first grade next year.

He can certainly skittle some defenders when he runs the ball AM.
As soon as he can get fit enough to not be a defensive liability he will be an asset at NRL level.

 

[Juice]

it's been a bleak season, but Miller's rise thru the grades has been so much fun to watch, given he was virtually down and out at the beginning of November.

if he keeps this up he'll have a bench spot in first grade for R1 2025.

What happened in November mate?

He can certainly skittle some defended when he runs the ball AM.
As soon as he can get fit enough not be a defensive liability he will be an asset at NRL level.

If he is the future and stays injury free surely he gets a run at some stage this season even for a 10min spurt. Would add more value than how Benji uses some of our bench forwards of late.

 

[The Chad]

The current 1st grade squad lacks that power forward that bends the line. Miller looks very promising.

Sione Fainu hopefully fills a similar role.

Starting to see a few of the junior prospects developing. The likes of Fa'agutu & Luke & Kit Lualili'i are starting to progress along. Makasini will be fast tracked I assume. Sukkar is in the squad now.

At a time where it's easy to get depressed about the team- seeing these guys progressing offers hope. Our success will come from the introduction of these athletes into our squad- not from outside the organisation.

 

[Buttface]

That is the big issue with him. It's affected his games with more errors, less confidence, etc. He was a great player before his ACL. I think he would be a good buy at the right price

You listed all those issues and still want him? No offence RG but I’m glad you’re not in charge of recruitment.

 

[balmain boy]

Would I want Tupinoua, at 600k for 3 years, hell no.
No more than 200k on a one year deal with options based on performance.
But of course that wont get him to us

good news … You will be thrilled ..Richo saying he is keeping one of the limited roster spots next year open for Doueihi …

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, To'o, May

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, To'o, May

But we have potential. How can you turn down a club constantly on the verge of being one of the competition’s elite.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

good news … You will be thrilled ..Richo saying he is keeping one of the limited roster spots next year open for Doueihi …

A fit AD would be an asset to this side at centre, can float around a little like Lomax. He is good in the air and carries 2/3 defenders when he is running strongly. Can also score close to the line. Balmain junior, worth the risk IMO.

Quite the interesting development this morning. Fifita has activated his player option at the Titans for the next 2 years.

Got cold feet so Roosters pulled the deal.

Backflipped on the Roosters

Just saw that and thought it was a joke - there you go. Can forget about going after Angus Crichton.

How funny is the NRL media! They ran the narrative hook line and sinker.
I won’t hold my breath, but I now want to see the media give themselves and the roosters the same stick they would give WT.

 

[Glenji95]

Well with Fifita no longer an option they’ll re-sign Angus easily now. Didn’t think he was gonna leave anyway but this had made it easier for them.

 

[Telltails]

So the Roosters withdrew their offer.
When you look at the output from Fifita compared to the output of the player they risked losing and the depth they already have in the backrow - hard to understand why in the first place.

We thought we had him.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The Titans suck and are never going to challenge for a premiership. But I’d take Gold Coast over Bondi. Bondi is so overrated it’s not funny. The GC coastline is the best in the world.

I don’t rate AD as a Center … he Is too slow and I dont believe he has the power you are saying … I think he is a reasonable 6 actually if back to his best … of course that is one of the few positions we have some depth already .. so he is not really a good fit for us next year ..
