Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[AmericanHistoryX]

Alec Tui at the Dragons is a Papalii clone and would come at a fraction of the cost.

Israel Leota (winger) & Xavier Willison, both at the Broncos are the ones we need - early release targets, both guns. Broncos need to get that cash to extend Payne.

Angus would be a huge signing if we could get it done and I wouldn't be mad at Sitili either or as well, he's quite the player. Heard commentators compare him to SBW, not sure about that but he can definitely find the line.

Preston Riki, overlooked backrower at Penrith - looks great in cup and ready to go for first grade, I'd take a punt on him also.

And we keep throwing his name up, but, centre at the warriors... Ali Leiataua

No more clones... no such thing....

It seems like the clubs who have been interested has been name dropped, and no matter how hard we try and stop leaks, they obviously still come out. We would have heard about it by now

Turuva was not mentioned until we signed him as a target so who knows

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thats the thing....

If the club feels some players need to be moved for success well I won't argue. The MSN article indicates Richardson is off to the UK or ate least talking to clubs about moving players on. Obviously there is a plan.

In this modern day it still baffles me that a CEO still have the time to hop on a plane and go over to the UK when they can just jump on a zoom call.

Lucky it wasn't Singapore Airlines

Maybe he’s gone over to bring Noffa home? 🤔

Richo is an old school operator. Invited Inglis’s parents to his contract negotiations. Knows footy.

Feel like people are making a bigger deal of this than it really is.

Why would our CEO fly to England for a maybe trip? Something is brewing and I doubt nothing comes out of it. Time will tell I guess.

 

[Tito Santana]

Replacements for Fish and Romey.

Why would you even want Penrith to consider that? True Tigers supporters know that Penrith requested Galvin in exchange for Luai under an early release.

Your shot at me in your response earlier is noted too you.

Chelsea Flower Show is on this week

"Unless the results come, Luai will be heckled here for the $ he's on and the results we get""

Baddabing Baddaboom. Same people on this forum that think he is the Saviour

The last one met a similar end - lauded and then left out to dry.

Also, why has no one said Sitili Tupouniua would be nice for us? Runs hard, plays good footy

He hardly plays and when he does isn’t effective unless a halfback finds him a hole. He struggles to make 65mtrs a game over his career. Not what we want. Roosters don’t offer up quality players they think can help win them a comp.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

It’s a catch 22. People are saying he’s no good playing out of position. If so, move on.

What if the coach is wrong????

Hard to believe when you look at our roster, but our cap is a problem when recruiting. We have been forced to pay overs right across the roster, and it’s your roster fill players that allow the good clubs to afford their elite players. In our case players like Stains Twal Seafarth are probably getting double market value. That’s why it is so hard to get out of the cellar.

I guess next year will gives us a insight into our future or lack of future

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thats what we say every year!!!!

Its the issue being at the bottom but also a major flaw in the cap because we must spend close to the cap each year so players get inflated salaries when with us due to lack of quality in the roster.

Twal is a great example very loyal and good backup but he isn’t a 400k player at the top squads.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Is Politis or Gould available?

 

[rozelle_rudy]

This does not sound good. At the first sign of pressure, is Benji throwing the toys out of the cot.

What 'first sign'? Benji took over from Sheens last year as we headed for a wooden spoon.

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Maybe an early release coming

Warriors stand down $1m prop Fonua-Blake for skipping team song​

I find it hard to believe Richo has gone to the UK to promote the West Tigers end of season clearance sale. You would think this could all be done by email, zoom and Tele conference.

Maybe he is having a chat to a few players or even slamming Sam. Anyway if he on a selling trip I hope he comes back with about 8 sales in the bag

8 sales in the bag, you say ?
Prepare the coloured whiteboard markers and the "closers" bell to ring in dem sales !!!
