Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That’s the point, Klemmer, Twal and Pole are much better than anyone else currently available as a starting prop. The only one worth mentioning would be Oregon Kaufusi who is a big until at the right age on his mid twenties and seems quite mobile for a big man. The fact he has recently been starting ahead of a long list of above average props currently at the Sharks has to say something about his ability.

Issue is Klemmer and Pole have 1 year left.
Fainu is off contract season end.
Ipap is gone and Bateman might be out as well
We have an opportunity to really shape our forward pack for years to come but need the right balance cap wise on positions.

Hunt would be a stop gap at high cost given the market.

I think Hunt will be over priced v value he returns (he isn’t a game winner) and won’t be cheap. Prefer to send the money to Wilison or another boom forward for next year or 26.

Sione Fainu is still without a contract for next year. Got no doubt we will resign him. Not only for the fact his brothers are here but he’s been playing some really good footy when he’s been playing.

I’m really hoping we can sort out Klemmers contract cause wow $850,000 for this year and next is a fair chunk of money, $1.7 mill to be exact.

Is there room for Klemmer? Great guy. Love him. Assistant forward coach??

Crazy cash right.
Imagine the player/s we could grab with that and the other 2m Richo with Stefano leaving.

I reakon klem will surprise a few of us this week he’s just had a month off and seen how much energy the team has been playing with he will keen as to rip in

Would you really change the team that's won last 2 games to put Klemmer back in the team.
Think I would retain the team that played the Raiders.

Hoping is 850- means that’s freeing up in 2 years time to extend the young guns

I think the interest in hunt is he pro ides what we lack. He's an impact forward that bends the line and finds his chest. My biggest critique on our middles atm is we are often placed on our back slowing the next play done. I feel like we have to many of the workhorse and not enough of the impact.

Canberra would disagree after yesterday

 

[TigerGene]

Sezer is a natural leader and that certainly helps a young squad like ours.
I would be keeping him for 2025 and when at full strength play him as our 14 as an option to play some dummy half and even spend some time at 13.

Incisive comment. I also see a future assistant coach in "salad".
Great mentor for our young blokes whether in NRL or Cup (Capt. Coach)???

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Klemmer as well.

Dawning on him that two of our best forwards are likely heading for the exits and he needs go forward to look any good.

We won’t be getting Willison, not sure how some think we will ?
The point I am making is if we retain Stef, there probably won’t be enough money to sign Royce Hunt in any case.
But if we lose Stef we will desperately need a prop with plenty of size and impact to strike a big of fear in the opposition and even if it is only for 25-30 minutes per game, Hunt would be the only prop currently available who could provide what we would be missing from Stef.
If we are being honest Stef only really provides 25-30 minutes f quality each game in any case.

We will have papa,s money , maybe Batemans , then there is nadens and buds money , HUNT would be a great pick up , but we need a class backrower as well
