Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Im assuming you are another one that has no idea that Alaimalo is 30 next year. He isnt some 22 year old dev kid.

I'm assuming you're dense as a tar pit.

Alaimalo will play the entirety of next season, if he stays on, at the age of 29, then turning 30 on the 27th Dec next year.

Where on earth did I point to him being 'some 22 year old kid'?

At his age, he is still a 3-5 year prospect.

Next time, don't assume.

 

[Kelce68]

Lol....and still better than what we've got.

Lol..........Incorrect.

Have you watched a single game he's been involved in this year?

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

We already have enough low IQ players the last thing we need is to sign Sivo & Ravalawa.

Yeah buddy I have.

I think we have had this discussion many times on the forum these last 2 months and it always leaves the person suggesting Sivo with egg on their face.

If you look at Staines stats he is much better than Sivo and Ravalawa this year. You may think they are powerhouses based on prior years but they have the tiniest heart of anyone. Go look at their post contact metres compared the Staines, I think he beats them both.. and we regularly complain about Staines lack of physicality and heart yet want to replace him with worse.

How can anyone question Charlie Staines regarding playing with heart ?
He regularly runs the ball harder than anyone else in our team.

Good to see he reassured his coach that he would honour his contract by a FKN text message....
Pathetic.

Could have been sent in designated family time for Benji 🤣

Wonder who he will bring in.

I’m wondering if this was leaked after Richo’s meeting with Galvinators parents ? might have gone from Richo to the parents to Moses to Buzz..

After causing the club a lot of unwanted publicity the least he could do is pick up the phone. Also love the way he is now going to see out his contract, what was his other choices…none

Brand Galvin in damage control or is it a PR exercise by both Galvin and the club to put everything to bed till Nov 2025

It puts a lot of pressure on Luai, who will be without Papali'i and maybe Utoikamanu with no replacements of note for either.

 

[Tucker]

go from 4 to 8 wins a season … so a lot

Id say more than that is required

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Richo has promised getting Benji some help which we all agree is needed. So expect something to be announced in coming weeks I guess.

I’m guessing you are also thinking that further improvement isn’t happening in 12 months …

They will be lucky to even win 8 games in my view in 2025

I'm not sure why but his heart was constantly being mentioned a few weeks ago. I pointed out that he bring it back harder than anyone else, while having the lightest frame and haven't heard much on it since I guess.

Staines is 5 years younger, has won a grand final and is a much brighter prospect than Alaimalo, yet you have Alaimalo ahead of him in the pecking order. I think based on that the only person who is dense as a tar pit is you.

Be very interested to see young Mason this week. His defence worries me but kid has great pace and footwork. If he swims rather than sinks it's possibly a 2025 piece falling into place.

He almost died playing for us!

No heart…who said that?

 

[Tucker]

That’s normal for the young ones.

Yeah, it's so alien to me.
Deals are done over a prolonged period of eating food, pounding liquor, visiting the rub n tug and then home in time for work the next day.
Kids these days.... they don't know they are bloody alive.

Sivo, God no. Ravalawa would be good. A big, raw boned winger. It’s been a while.

 

[weststigerman]

I think next time we do something that Galvin or his parents/manager don't like, this will come up again and leak to the media.

As good as he is on the field, the off the field stuff has a bigger impact IMO. If it continues, we should drop him and focus on others.
