Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sullivan has a wife and family at the age of 22 ??

Trying to do some checking about his personal status but you may be correct, he possibly had a girlfriend with him that day at COE.
In which case nothing holding him back from the UK, except he seems really tight with his family.

 

[Vicious]

Why do you think Makasini is leaving us?

Well he’s not contracted and he and his family met with Richo many weeks back.
Since no deal has been done, it’s not looking good.

 

[Ermo]

Using Galvin and Bula as trade bait, this team could be achievable for 2025.
Much more experienced and looks a genuine top 8 team to me.

1. James Tedesco / Heath Mason
2. Samuel Stonestreet / Charlie Staines
3. Taylan May / Starford To’a
4. Justin Olam / Onitoni Large
5. Sunia Turuva / Heamasi Makasini
6. Jerome Luai
7. Jayden Sullivan
8. Stefano Utoikamanu / Peter Hola
9. Api Korisau / Talyn Da Silva
10. David Klemmer / Tim Johanssen
11. Samuela Fainu / Billy Burns
12. Angus Crichton
13. Brandon Smith
14. Latu Fainu / Adam Doueihi
15. Fonua Pole / Alex Seyfarth
16. Alex Twal / Sione Fainu
17. Royce Hunt / Jordan Miller

Development Contracts
Kit Laulilli
Chris Faagatu
Luke Laulilli
Tony Sukkar
Solomon Saukuru
Zac Clarke

** You would think Stef would be much more keen to stay playing in this type of team and it’s clear the Roosters don’t want Teddy past 2025. I know he’s ageing and slowing down, but I still think his presence would be of great benefit and in addition Luai would be a magnet to help sign others such as Angus Crichton and Royce Hunt etc
I think the Roosters would be very tempted to release Teddy early in return for Bula and Galvin.

That’s almost 2 teams

Based on what exactly? The ARU are in worse shape than us.

Based on the usual suspects with their doom and gloom and club bashing that just love to put paranoid speculation all over the “fan forum “ as if it is gospel .. it’s bullshit and it’s ruing this forum . Sick to death of it .. truly

 

[TigerNeddyK]

And how Richo reacts. He’s not on big money, if he doesn’t pull his head in we could just play him in twos for two years.

Absolutely.. make it a line in the sand .. playing first grade for our club is an honour not your privilege

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Moses has done the kid a disservice. If his footy suffers from all the external noise and he ends up back in lower grades his development could be put back years. That bloke appears to be an A grade flog.

the player and family can change managers if they are not happy, the manager generally takes riding instructions from the player or family members

but Ned you said nothing to worry about with Galvin 8 weeks ago when i first mentioned issues with galvin...
since then his manager has asked for two releases from the club, one before a ball was kicked this year and 2 last Thursday...

I would prefer us winning games and signing players

George Delaney from St Helens looks like the front rower we are trying to get

Heamasi is THE kid under 17 they won't just let go.

He'll leave a lot of pre-debut money on the table if he were to leave in my opinion.

Ginger version of Alex Twal

 

[supercoach]

He does it constantly. I'm amazed players can't see the damage he does to them and how he doesn't care how bad he makes them look.

IMO anyone who chooses to be managed by Moses is piece of shit. Galvins parents are off their heads signing their teenager to this grub.

It is widely known what he is like, everyone in the game hates him. So to choose him as the manager of your son shows a real lack of character.

Greed makes people make questionable decisions

We don’t have anyone else with his size, speed and power.

don't know too much about him tbh, souths tried to get him and richo has been trying

 

[Oldman]

Yes I’m sure he won KOE player of the year or something a few seasons back.
He does his job, makes good meters every week, makes most of his tackles. He is just starting out so may get him cheap.

Would be very surprised if Iro was not signed for next year and beyond by the Sharks
Is very promising

Twally has scored two more tries than our mate Georgie

you know this how?

 

[Needaname]

Galvin aside, imagine if we secured Brandon Smith (to play lock, backup hooker) & Josh Schuster on low coin for 2nd row.

Note - TDS completes his apprenticeship in NSW Cup.

You know, Shuster isn’t going to want to play outside the halves. But if Galvin was to walk Shuster would make a very decent 5/8 outside of Luai. Then you have Latu as the support player.

Yeah, if can get into his zone, the shyster has what I call “innate footy talent”

Here’s some highlights and what you see is silky hands, some explosive speed and pause for sec and consider his in game awareness and reaction prowess.

I know it’s only a slice, a tad aged, but apart from Perhaps Api, we don’t have too much that close to shyster at peak:

Enjoy:

Like all players, the price has to be comfy, we need to screw his head on a bit tighter…but he’s worth a closer look.

He’s been dumped fair into the bin, his name is mud, but if he can step up, geez he’s got some gifts. I like his size as well.

Its strange how us forumers have a penchant or liking for so many different players from other clubs!!

The rich tapestry that is rugby league!

South’s tried to get Delaney & it sounds like st Helen’s didn’t want to let him go

Richo has already said there will be a number of announcements regarding our juniors in the coming weeks and months.
Given players like Makasini are under contract for another 18 months massive there's no need to announce something just yet, wait till all resignings are made then announce them all at once.
