Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

I differ to alot on here. For the first time in forever we have a ceo that understands d's how to balance a squad while leaving pathways for juniors. That in its self is a massive positive. I think we struggle for the next two years while rich levels that out.
We all whinge about a lack of backs but we have zero coin to really improve that. I'm expecting a bulldogs like firesale that is going to piss fans off tbh.
As much as it pains me a rebuild around luai turuva the fainus and Galvin is the go but it won't be pretty.

There’s not too many that the fans will cry over after 2 spoons. I have Api, Stef and Bula, along with Galvin as the guys we need to keep. Sam Fainu has also shown above average ability.

I think Bula could be upgraded. He clearly shows great ability at times but he is older than most think, doesn’t have a powerful frame and the flashes are too few and far between for me. I think O Large could be a good fullback when he is ready.

Bula upgraded, are you watching the same games as I am ?
I do agree O Large should be developed as a fullback, he has the speed, athleticism and class to be a superstar in the making.
Talagi is obviously a couple of years ahead with age and development, he would would be a big improvement on Bula.

I think Wiz means we could do better than Bula at fullback ie. find a player who will be an upgrade on him. Large has all the ability to be that sort of player with elite speed and ball playing ability

Yes, I meant the team could upgrade the fullback position by replacing Bula. I did not mean his contract should be upgraded. From what I understand it’s already hefty ($750k or increasing to that amount).

We just need to get our attack humming and Bula will be a net contributor in my opinion. He’s still learning first grade.

Our players don't get fined or suspended for not singing the team song..
Oh that's right we don't win so nobody sings it 😆😆

Remember we’ve changed our song, the words were passed on in to each player when we did win, earlier in the season.
Fellas, here’s a good one for you:

“Who are, who , who are we, we’re Wests Tigers can’t you see,
We try real hard, and play ok, but we need a simple fitter ,
We don’t win much and forget our roles, so when we do supply us scrolls “

 

[Halbrowne61]

Dittee not fitter.

Wait who's O Large?

Onitoni Large

Rumoured to be off to the roosters 🐓

 

[Leck]

When our prop rotation looked weak a few years ago ( it still does ), I posted that we should be looking at Mikolaj Oledzki from the Leeds Rhinos - he's an absolute beast, and I hope he's on Richo's radar.

Another one we should sign is Tallis Duncan
He could become a genuine lock.
Which we have lacked for years.

Richo is a fan.
He could be a 10 year player for us.
Think he's too good to sit on the bench at south's.

I can see him being good but I don’t see him having any elite trait.

 

[BAGNF05]

He has the skills to be a Dylan Edwards in a consistent side that has multiple threats.

Tim Lafai, worth a punt?
Good connection with Luai in the world cup.

This 👆 Lafai for 2 seasons would not block pathways. A tackle busting machine.

 

[Wiz]

I don’t think he has at present. In my opinion he is currently average to below average (compared to other fullbacks) in acceleration, power, ball playing and work rate. That’s off the top of my head.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

They're trying hard but we're up against uncle Nick. Xavior Willison is more likely.

Wilson has been rumoured for ages, i rate him are we a genuine chance, we are looking to purge players there has to be a plan to it.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If the Roosters are showing any interest in Talagi, we can forget about him.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Was told Bateman back to England at seasons end and Naden gone as well at seasons end

Hull FC maybe??? Richo’s old club he was CEO at.

Probably looks that way playing amongst a predictable, clunky, inexperienced attack that has no real threat to the opponent. I’ll hold my judgement until the quality of his teammates improves. He’s shown me enough in his young career where he was probably the legitimate NRL rookie of the year in a wooden spoon side.
