Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The deeper we dig, I think most WT supporters come to the realisation that Stef is irreplaceable.
I’d go as high as 900k per season, as we simply cannot afford to lose him.

Stef isnt easily replaceable but he isnt irreplaceable, he can float in and out of games and his commitment this year at times has been pretty bad. I just don't think he wants to be here, we have a more than fair offer on the table i'd leave it at that tbh.

Chammas had some interesting news on 100% footy.

* Cotric to Catalans for 3 years
* Guler wants out of Canberra on compassionate grounds, he is from Sydney and could possibly be a good pickup for us
* Daniel Saifiti might get squeezed out of Newcastle due to cap pressure, I could see him being one the Dogs pickup
* Tupouniua not off to Dogs yet, no offer even on the table and closer to going to Dolphins than Dogs

Guler , and tupouniua would be good pick ups for us

He has been good. One thing I’ve noticed is he seems to drive the line speed in defence.

His line speed is infectious to all the other boys, he really does push the defensive line and his contact is very solid. Such a great signing, he’s providing exactly what we’ve always needed from our 7 on both ends.

I hope Galvin’s taking notes on how impactful you can be on the defensive end when you just drive the line sped and how it contributes to winning - Luai also one of the best halves in the game with his line speed in D as well.

If we can get some workhorse forwards next to them our defensive efforts can make serious improvements especially under Morris. Interesting times ahead.

Cotric was a one season wonder - much like Papali’i. Pathetic.

No to Cotric - massive nose dive ever since he originally left Canberra to the Dogs.

No to Guler - would prefer Royce Hunt or Xavier Wilson with that spot.

Big no to Safifit - lazy and error infested, also heard very bad things about his attitude off the field from people in the know. Not a good mentor let’s just say.

Yes to Tupounia - hopefully we make a late call to his management he’s a gun and could easily take Papalili’s spot moving forward.

Mason and Latu Fainu both very good number 14 options too.
I just think the compete at all costs and will to win that Sezer always demonstrates is so valuable that we need to find a way to fit him in and keep him for another season.

I think Galvin will have to earn the spot over Latu at the moment he is in front winning a no contest the competitor has not shown up yet but he will
 
Just like the Dragons did us favours by taking Musgrove and Liddle off our books, we seem to be doing the same for Melbourne with Olam and NAS who were both on long contracts on good coin.

I agree with Cotric and Saifiti.

Guler I rate but as a bench player. I would prefer Xavier / Oregon Kaufusi to grow into a starter if we could get one of them.

I think we need to stay away from Sitili, has had a poor run with injury and on good coin.
 
Someone made a good point in the forum about Latu Fainu to lock as a Victor Radley type lock just minus the inflictor part. They are the same height and weight and Latu is quite strong defensively and would no doubt be a silky ball player in the middle. If that happens to be the case then that’s another young gun who slots into the side.

I believe @teddy23 was saying something about that a while ago.

Wouldn’t mind seeing it, gives us 6 ball playing options in starting side. Doueihi, Bula, Luai, Galvin, Api and Fainu.

Need to give him a season off the bench coming off at 20 mins for the rest of the game first to ease him in though. Maybe Pole’s first stint at lock before shifting to prop.
 
just realized Jarome is gonna be 28 when he plays for the tigers. Didn’t realise how old he is, feels like just yesterday he debuted. By the time his deal runs out he is gonna be 31, looks like we definitely are replacing experience with experience no doubt.

I think a lot of teams are showing that the days of a dedicated ‘14’ are changing. A lot of teams have a couple of ‘14s’ on the bench that are capable of playing through the middle. If Latu was to play the ball playing lock roll it would be off the bench like a Dylan Walker for comparison.
