Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He has apparently been going well playing QLd Cuo along with a few of our other discards,

I thought he would become a solid player with us but he never got a run of games , very raw and young , could still be worth a cup spot if he comes cheap , we need players in cup as well as the top grade but we do need cup players who can step up ,

Opinions on Davey Moale from Souths??

Promising allround prop, good metres, very solid defensively & good motor on him and only young. Off contract Nov 1.

Any particular reason for your question?

In Dean Ritchie’s story today …

Centre Brent Naden has a contract at Wests Tigers for next year and insists it will be honoured.

There has been speculation Naden, 28, may be offloaded, possibly at Catalans, after this season.

But Naden wants to stay, has no plans to play in Super League and will be front and centre at Concord again in 2025.

These news articles are so predictable.

If it's a player WT want to keep, write a story saying they want out to generate more clicks.

If it's a player WT want to move on, write a story saying they have a contract and will be staying to generate more clicks.

Richo knows what he's doing.

The fact that both naden and bud are saying that they will stay put is a good mentality to have for culture.
Tapped on the shoulder and told they aren’t wanted but are prepared to compete for a playing spot. Both will be wanting a contract when there current one expires so can’t idle along like packer

 

[Todd Packer]

You'd hope there was some sort of conversation with the players concerned before wasting time and money flying across the world.
It would be bizarre if there wasn't. We're not talking about driving down the road to a new club.

I think we may only sign one more outside back when you look at the NsW cup back 5. All tennagers
Luke Lulilii ( our brian Too) or nee noffa
Heath Mason - can cover all positions in backline needs to be the 14 for NrL
Feleldey not up to standard
Solomon Saukuru progressing through the grades, big body
And Narven Willet, this kid going to be a star! Not sure if he is on a development deal next year but will do a preseason with the top squad.

And going off richos comments we wont be blocking spots!

Throw in Manasaki and Large if they stay, future is bright in 2026

They all have potential. I know Laulilii was playing against men last weekend in KOE but his positioning was poor and he fell off plenty of tackles. Will be better for the run but needs to continue improving. Mason held his own off the bench in 1sts - exciting. Really not sure Feledy has what it takes to play consistent first grade. Saukuru isn't overly quick; reminds me of Alamoti at the Panthers. Willett hasn't done anything wrong - solid aerial threat but again doesn't seem to have a whole lot of pace.

As Solomon Saukuru is not overly quick then at 115kg he may find himself in the second row given his size.

Looking forward to seeing this Manasaki.

Our roster management has been diabolical. At least one year too many and I’m pretty sure it was obvious at the time.

It's funny you mention navreen willet I watched a few of his games last year for the taree bulls, he was a standout in a pretty shit team, taree bulls are the WT of group 3, I'm surprised benji hasn't given him a crack, he couldn't be any worse than naden

So that’s 2 players now we want to offload who have said no. Idk how we’re going to be signing anyone else of significance for 25.

Most if these young players we are banking on are currently struggling big time when playing NSW Cup and playing their part in the team getting steamrolled most weeks.
This being the case they are currently a million miles away from being able to hold up their end of the bargain at NRL level.
Realistically because they are struggling when playing NSW Cup, they should be back in Jersey Flegg trying to build a bit of confidence.

Richo knows what he's doing.

And if it's neither they make something else up to fill the space.
