Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Liked the Richo podcast but 2 things he said a little alarming
- This round we have 10 out because of a couple more going down midweek
- Our Cup side this week everyone under 20 ? Hard to believe this !

Twal and Staines.

Royce Hunt. That's it. That's the post.

Brandon Smith would be an excellent addition if he did not come with problems. If Storm and Easts can not turn his fortunes around then no chance at WT. Sounds like a modern day Chris Sandow who's career was ruined by gambling.
Thanks but No thanks to Brandon Smith.

Not happy Ice is allowed to leave. With a better spine in 2025 Ice running in holes would be great. Should never let players like him leave. Idiots.

Ice replaced by big Sam F , no loss this kid will be a gun , saved money letting ice go , top up Sam and keep him long term , just need to add another strong big body, Hunt from sharks looks good

We're going badly worse than i thought we would have been, i was expecting an incremental improvement. But being decimated by injury and suspension is getting brushed over in the media, if our best 13 was getting pumped week in week out it would be a bit more understandable.
But until we start winning there will be chirping in the background like always.

Along with Jack Williams.

Williams is a ready made starting NRL lock IMO.

Hope that's the end of the Galvin drama

Doueihi isn’t under 20

After Richo meeting the family and chatting with them, I'm hoping now he will just knuckle down and stop asking to be released

Hunt needs to be the first call made as he would do wonders for us.

Sounds like he’s hyper competitive a bit like Joey John’s was, we can’t release him.

Just that the kids not used to losing, not about money.

Richo interview

Sounds positive with moving Simpkins on for TDS , get a shot Saturday then and plays reserve grade , Disnt sound to much worry over Galvin , said he needs to play good to play along side Luai , wants to keep young guys , but my concern never mentions Stef and his contract and looking to upside our outside backs , Richo we need a centre and a prop urgent

 

[426Tlgerland]

So. Its all sorted.. Amen.

Not sorted at all

Turuva and Olam to start in centres next year. Need a couple of powerful wingers.

He just fills me with confidence he doesn’t sound 1 but stressed it’s so refreshing

I’m just imagining Lee in this same position

Yah - so not sorted. Not sorted for a couple of years at best.

We signed Turuva to play centre and Olam signed a 3 year deal. I dare say they feel they have their starting centres. My guess is they are looking for a winger.

I'd be Re-signing Alaimalo. He will be good after a full preseason along with the experience he has gained this year. He ticks a lot of boxes. Willing carrier of the ball, big body, superb under the high ball and defensive decisions have shown a steady improvement with game time.

We can definitely get a quality 2 years out of him.

That leaves Lobb, Staines, Willett and Laulilii fighting out the right wing.

I'm ok with it. Healthy competition should wield 2 decent wingers out of that lot. There isn't much to sign in the player market. Maybe Shiller from the Raiders?
