Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He was showing what he ain't got and that is a brain between his ears.

Can't stand those beady eyes of his either.

His wife is very attractive. She definitely married down.

Aren’t we already signing Crichton?

I doubt that

 

[Sully]

We are looking for quick wingers and I now know why we have not seen Jimmy Ngutlik in First Grade

His date of birth on our website has him tuning 2 years old in October so we would need an NRL exemption

Must have been a nightmare for his mother during birth

Can someone shed light on their opinion on who we planning on losing next year?
I know Tupou is going to Phinland and Turuva is his replacement.

We have Luai next year too. Potentially pushing out Sezer, but he might be kept as depth.

Saukuru gets promoted because of his contract, as well as Tony Sukkar, who is considered potentially the best player to emerge for us since Farah.

Chris Faggotau and Laullili seen to be contracted next year too, but I dont know details there.

Who is expected to be chopped from the below? The maths tells me there might only be room for two retentions.

Solomon Alaimalo, Adam Doueihi, Solomona Faataape, Sione Fainu, Asu Kepaoa, Jake Simpkin

i believe Adam on a reduced contract and Sione Fainu the others i think will be gone..as mentioned we have a lot of juniors on top 30 contracts next year

 

[boonboon]

I reckon Sione Fainu stays and probably Faatape given his Richo connections and Adam a possibility

 

[Lebanese_Coach_aspiration]

i always thought it was a given they would make an effort to retain Adam on a reduced contract but now Im wondering if he will.

Sivo anyone? Haha

By that do you mean the best Lebanese player to come through the Tigers since Farah? That may be true, AD probably still ahead.

Of those players listed I think only Sione stays

I think there will be more turnover than most will expect.
it will be Richo first full off season and he will know the players Benji's wants and doesn't so I feel good about the changes coming.

I would love to pick up Jake Averillo plus either Jaydn Su'a or Angus C as they would just complete the areas we lack.

 

[LUPO]

Hope we are having a red hot crack at Blaze Talagi. If true Parra offer if $1m over 3x years, offer the kid 5 to 6 hundred thousand over 3 x years.. I think the kid is that good that in years to come will seem dirt cheap

Per season that is

very talented kid but can't see him moving here. if he is to leave Parra, which I think is pretty unlikely, it'll be to play fullback. the Dragons will be in with a shout for sure.

Thought Sloan is their fullback

I think our Ron Massey Cup quota is full....

I have to agree , Benjoy and his team would already know who is going I would think and Richo is probably chasing players now , I feel out of our first grade and reserve grade teams combined maybe 6/8 players will depart, our Reseve grade are poor except maybe 3 or 4 players , and first grade needs a few gone as well

Before we sign anyone else, we need to make space to bring in players. I think the top 30 next year is full or very close to it.

I think we have all of Saukuru, Feledy, L Laulilli coming in to top 30 next year. I think we should only invest in 2 of these and let one go.

Similarly, we have middles of Faagutu, K Laulilli, Miller in the top 30 next year. Again I think these are too many inexperienced players and might have to let 1 of these go.

Hopefully Sullivan does well in the next few weeks and he can be moved on too. I’d also let Naden or To’a leave if they can find another club.

This actually gives some space to find some experience to put around the young players we have. Next problem is finding first grade players who want to come here.
