Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It’s funny, I remember watching games and highlights of Scott Sorenson dominating and being a clear standout while playing NSW Culbfor many years before finally getting his regular NRL opportunity.
Very similar to the two I keep mentioning in Billy Burns and Matt Doorey.

Positions? Doorey plays second row I believe?

Yes- I'd take Garner back.

He offers a good athlete on the edge & is an emergency centre. We actually lack that kind of player, unless Kepaoa could actually take up that role.

Garner would be much better value than iPap & has experience with Luai as well.

Garner or Lemeulu for me unless we can land a Haumole.

Just watched it he’s got some pace, but was out of position a couple of times defensively from what I saw. One did result in Nene MacDonald scoring. Bit concerned with signing SL backs very rarely do they do well in NRL.

Anyone who hasn’t seen it, do yourself a favour and watch the NSW Cup highlights from last weekend, Billy Burns with the Jets and Matt Doorey with the Eels.
I know plenty will say it’s only NSW Cup, but rest assured these two have been dominating NSW Cup like this for a long long time, now in the prime of their careers and crying out for a regular NRL opportunity.
Couple them with the emerging Sam Fainu and a few other prospects currently in our own lower grades and we can possibly have strike on our NRL edges moving forward, something we have not had for a long, long time.
With Papali’i likely departing, I would hope we are also looking at an experienced no nonsense player with much better leg speed than any of our current forwards in Jack Williams to either start at 13 or bring impact like he does at the Sharks.

Yeah, a couple more reserve graders will do the trick.

That’s where the good players come from funnily enough.
I just give you Scott Sorensen as an example, do you want another 100 names as further examples ?

Any of those examples of players coming into a side looking down the barrel of 3 spoons in a row and absolutely killing it?

We couldn’t get anything out of Papali’, yet Matt Doory is going to come and be an X-factor? Give me a break

At less than a third of the price Doorey is absolutely a better attacking edge forward than Papali’i.
We can’t score a try so players who run hard, can bust tackles and make line breaks are required.
The added bonus of signing a few players on fringe player contracts is it allows us to upgrade others we need to keep and possibly pay more if a quality player becomes available.

And some of you wonder why we never get anywhere.
