Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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.

As someone who has watched Miller in SG and KOE I find his effort is not there. Finds himself being lazy in defence and will lack effort getting to the man. Great ball runner on his day but doesn't play massive minutes. Laulili is where it's at not Miller.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

they have Naden

Yes, someone who has proven himself over the lat 3 years to not be the answer. You're just proving my point?

Yeah he sucks .. but they seem to like him

We were never in the race for Angus. Tupouniua is more our speed. And he’s been told he can look for another club. Could easily see us in the hunt for him.

More our speed ..because there are question marks over his fitness moving forward and you would need be to be desperate

Jack de Belin? Even though he is a POS

You've taken one too many body slams Tito.

De Belin I reckon would be a pretty’s good pick up. Cuts people in half and had a 2 year layoff so in good shape. Also brings the mongrel to the back row.

What happened in November mate?

had an injury and came back to preseason weighing a little heavier than everyone would’ve liked, Jordan included. worked really hard and had a good finish to the SG Ball season and springboarded into Cup from there. super impressive turnaround.

I’m not sure what you’re watching. the only reason he does struggle occasionally defensively is down to conditioning. when he runs out of gas that’s when the issues arise, but with improved conditioning it won’t be an issue.

he made 25 tackles last week with 2 ineffective. yes Sharpe made a break on his inside, but again that’s down to conditioning. his workrate on both sides of the ball is immense for a man of his size.

I think a lot of our fans are being choosy. Yes of course we would rather Angus, but he's unlikely to sign with us especially with Penrith needing a new second rower. If Sitili can stay injury free he will end up being a great signing and on a low money contract too. People forget he was excellent before his injuries

We need to build club culture, signing that guy is not going to improve it

 

[rugbygoated]

I think some of our fans are being a bit harsh on Ream Bula. This spot of bad form will do him wonders for his learning and experience in the game. You'd rather him get it out of his game now than later on in his career when it is harder for him to adapt

 

[Halbrowne61]

Will Doueihi take a lowball new contract offer? Maybe. Should Wests Tigers increase the offer? No. He's too big an injury risk. Let some other club take that risk

‘Give Des a chance’: David Fifita opens up on why he snubbed the Roosters

David Fifita has broken his silence on his decision to walk away from a $3.3 million deal with the Roosters to stay on the Gold Coast.

www.smh.com.au

The absolute correct thing to do. Over to you Adam ?

 

[Halbrowne61]

He won't come. Is yet another player from successful club and career that only wants easy life and success. It annoys me that you rarely see giving back to the lesser teams as good players start to peak and be replaced in glamour clubs and don't think / want to help the lesser clubs. Easy life.

Now Fifita has backflipped I can’t see any way Chricton will leave Bondi.

 

[magpies forever]

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.

I think it was almost solely getting another known big name
