Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Do we persist with Tumeth.
Same argument, how long do you wait for them to fill out, toughen up? Or do we shop 'n upgrade?

No, reckon Tumeth can go. He has had the opportunity and showed nothing exceptional for it.

We had 2 promising kids at that time, Ray and Jacob Giles I think his name was - kid from the central coast…
We kept Jacob, I think he was a better prospect at the time - but he got injured not long after and never really come back from it.
Stoney went over to Parra and earned himself a spot…

Jacob Giles I believe still playing first grade for Toukley in the Central Coast comp. They won the comp last year.

Bump. I've honestly had this bookmarked since you posted it 😂 just to see if we'd hold on to them.

Yes it's a terrible indicator of our depth, but can't help but feel happy that 5 of the players mentioned here were part of the win today.

🤣 wow @Lauren and great to see Herman Tofaeono play in Cup today, I think he has a big future with us too! A tank with legs like tree trunks!

Has Bula run over your cat or something? So much undeserved hate on a bloke with 30 games to his name while Bateman, Staines, Ice etc all seem to get a free pass.

Bula is a legend! We don’t want any other full back.

I'd swap for Walsh in a heart beat.... but let's not get into fantasy land...

We sign Arthur, then that just deepens his ties to the club even further.

I think talagi would be a great signing

How far off is onitoni large? Will he play centre?

Doueihi: Delighted to be back

We chat to Adam Doueihi at Leichhardt Oval following his comeback game for the Magpies in the NSW Cup.

Can we please get a “uuuhhhmm” count from Adam? gotta be at least in the hundreds you’d think.

We'd want to get Tofaeono on a Dev contract for next year. Thing is with him, faagautand Kit all being under 6 foot it's unlikely we'd be able to have more than one of these nuggets on the field at the same time

Gutsy win yesterday channeling the spirit of the Tigers and the Magpies. Hopefully we have our youngsters contracted because the vultures will be circling. There is a real dearth of talent in the NRL and a player like Jordan Miller is all raw talent and ability. He hasn't had that knocked out of him by coaches who like the robotic style of football. Young Mason had a great game, he did what the team needed him to do and did it well.

Adam too may just accept playing at 31 like Will Smith had.

Not a bad option for him or us... he stays at reserve half for 300k and hangs with the team.

Yep...need to put him on a development contract and give him a pre-season with the NRL squad. Definitely someone we want to keep for now and see how he progresses!

if the plan is for AD to play in the halves … then I would be happy to let him go .. I see Living Large’s manager crying about too many halves at the club blocking his path …. Put him in reserve grade next season… looks to be physical enough ..and of course there will be Bud there already … we are all good for halves

Bula is a legend! We don’t want any other full back.

I was a massive Bula fan but he seems to just fall into tackles and makes very little PCM in my opinion. Doesn’t seem to want to break the line.

He is a weapon do not get me wrong but I don’t know if FB is his position.

Maybe he will get more comfortable with his attacking in the future and I wouldn’t be upset if we persist with him.

His defence and positioning in D is very good. Just needs to get his attack right and he will be a gun.

Might make a phenomenal centre/winger if he is open to trying it out.

His play reminds me a little bit of Dugan back in his day.

Is he a weapon though?
I really don't expect him to make a break or do anything special to turn a game anymore.

My big takeaway from yesterday was how good it was to have a huge upgrade in our backup hooker from useless Simpkin to TDS.
There's no doubt we lose that game yesterday if Simpkin played.

I like that TDS never tried to burrow over from 9. Easily his best game for us.

Hey , teddy24 or Kade 7 or anybody that may have inside information to share with the rumour that Tallis Duncan may be about to sign with the club for 24 season ?

Or play onitoni Large next week if we could .. I genuinely think he could handle it already, or even a go on the wing ,, so fast , and Ashton, mate , that kid Is something else .. Ashton will play for Australia, you can Bookmark this !
