Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[king_sirro]

Navren Willet is another who will probably see a debut sometime this year or next. When he played in the trials this year he handled the physicality pretty well, I’d say probably still a bit away but watching the NSW cup he used his height (6”7) greatly to his advantage. Again defensively seems to be a bit of a struggle so I’d say until he can be more consistent I doubt Benji will chuck him in.

Onto someone who deserves a debut now Tim Johanssenn. This bloke has been great in NSW cup the whole year and in the game against the warriors scored the game winning try. I’d like to repeat that he’s been doing it this whole year so it’s not just a one off. Drop Stef for this week to focus on contract talks etc and chuck this bloke in. I hope we can sign him cause it’d be a major oversight to let him go. He is fit, fast and strong something we lack aside from Pole.

These are his stats from this year:
12 Appearances
2 Tries
38 Tackle Breaks
10 Offloads
133 Average RM
90% Tackle Efficiency

I'd like to see Johannssen get a go at lock. Mobile, skillful and great attitude. He really looks like the type that comes from the clouds as a 22 year old. He just needs a chance. I don't see him as a front rower in the NRL, not with us anyway, as he lacks that physical presence, but as a lock I can definitely see it.

If the opportunity to get Holmes for next year is a chance we would be bonkers not to make a play.

He seems to have really fallen away this year. Still better then what we have. Goal kicking outside back with size and strength. Maybe his form is to do with Payten. They didn't get on at first, maybe that's reared it's ugly head again and affected his form.

Galvin won’t be a 5/8 long term.

Here’s a big call… we won’t see him at 5/8 again this year.

Benji will see it this week. Our centres and second row will look so much better once they are not crowded.

Why would you move Galvin from 5/8? He is playing the role perfectly, just lacking the runners outside him and people hitting holes. If we want him to leave at the end of his current contract, then push him to lock.

Yep. Our so called problem from the last 10 years looks pretty good with quality backs and behind a decent pack. Fix the issues, not the strengths.

No point having a war chest if you're going to leave it just sit there, he's a top player not worth the money hes on at the cows though. Can't hurt to have a chin wag and at least raise what another team has to pay.

Would be good but could see Dragons offering him fullback money or Roosters making a play.

If I could like this more than once I would.

Laui is the sliding doors moment for us and I'm excited especially after watching him this year in the 7 and his performances in SOO.

Just a winner who will drags others with him.

I agree..but he needs some forwards to play behind and we do nothing but let our players go!

He’ll want too much $$$ for us. I doubt Richo would value him more than $750k to play centre.

Val’s best days are long gone.

Tbh I’d rather JAC for $500k for 2 years if he came available. Offers just as much as Val if not more. Then go hard for Kotoni Staggs come Nov 1.

If the Broncos shithousery continues, I can see a few of their off contract players exploring options like Staggs & Cobbo.

Sign him as a winger not center that’s his position. Zero chance Cowboys won’t be tipping in for his salary as well. He hands down would instantly be our best back by a mile and would solve a major issue meter wise from the back.

 

[Bellend]

Jeral Skelton is a must would turn into a legend in this club
Bailey Simonsson would be good bridging winger before we promote younger players again.
Preston Ricki second rower and a tackling machine and provide a hard edge that we need
Brad Parker covers the utility position and has the experience we do not have
Davy Moale prop and a goer
Royce Hunt prop will run hard and give our side a hard edge

That was To'as first and last great game in nrl , didn't JAC sign with dogs from the storm for roughly $600, 000 cause he fancied himself as a fullback???

There’s no point having a war chest if you don’t know how to spend it wisely.
