Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We’ve had some terrible players but I’m prepared to say Naden is the worst player we have ever had. Except Brooksy. God I hate Brooksy.
The hate is clouding you. Brooksy is a club legend. One of our most capped, highest point scorers, one of the highest try scorers. He is a legend through and through, and had to put up with bad board and management his entire time who couldn't build a decent team around him till it was too late
 
He looks like he belongs right now. If he was passing it to some quality players he’d be being talked about more than he is. My guess is he’ll be seven next year to leave Luai in his best position.
Galvin could play 7 but his best asset is his running game and he's still young. Luai's best position might be 7... just needs more games (not just one so far) to lengthen his kicks. His last tackle options barring the pass to JFH last week were decent. Gus Gould was willing to pay over a million for Luai with a marquee 5/8 in burton on 800K there already. Bit early, but I'd go 6 Galvin 7 Luai with both sharing the kicks like Munster and Hughes do. Still waiting on Fainu to make a certain judgement though. I think NRL fans are obsessed with a dominant organising halfback and an all out running 5/8, as well as ball playing locks since the 6 again era. Attacking coach needs to really improve the team in pre season mainly in attack. The off season prior looks to have had a big focus on defence

The Munster / Hughes comparison is a good one. They both have such a high skills base and great vision. I wouldn’t be playing them in traditional halves roles. I’d be giving Romey the second receiver role most of the time but asking them to link up on both sides. I think Galvin can kick long and Luai short pretty well. Remains to be seen what they have to work with, definitely Bula and Olam & Turuva. Need a couple more workaholic outside backs who do all the dirty stuff and can break tackles. Unsung like Melbourne have found in guys like Meaney & Reimis. Athletes with high footy IQ.
 
The dogs have grabbed a inform front rower amone , having watched the super league , he has been killing it , we are in need of a big frontrower yet other teams just make better decisions than us , maybe we are so pig headed that our juniors will come good that we are missing out
He used to play for us, didn't do much then, he's just a lower grade player
 
With Papalii given permission to leave us early .. and the chat that Batemen is going home at seasons end .. which could be now for him as his injury could end this season for him .. also i cant see Seyfarth being at the club next season either .. this mean we'll have a enough money to go after a marque back rower .. then promote (back rowers) players up within the club.

Who and where will this marque player come from .. ?? Cricthon .. another NRL Club or overseas .. ??
