Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Absolutely. I hope we land Corey. I swear both times we played Raiders last year he saved 3 or 4 tries against us just from effort plays alone. He was a player I was hoping was out against us in our games this year.

He gets picked in the 13 jersey each week without hesitation, is a physical presence on the field and will have a dig/put in the effort plays. At 26 he should be still coming into some of his best years as a forward too.

Sure there might be the odd hot headed penalty given away, but let's be honest, the refs will ping us for something regardless of him being there or not.

For me, going after him is a no brainer and helps us start to build a stronger pack.

All the talk is he is going to Saints, the 360 mug journo’s have it as already done pending his release from Canberra

What about latest rumour on Moses looking to leave Parra ?

Dogs need a half back

The way Richo does business now means we won't usually hear much about us going in for players. We dont even know if the club is genuinely interested.

The 360 journos had Stefano last week as basically a done deal to the Dogs and Turuva to Dragons was supposedly done and dusted before we landed the deal with him.

I don't think this one will drag on for too long, so we should find out where he goes soon enough.

Nah I don’t think the red horse would be a good signing, mentally I think he has some issues, which I hope he sorts, we are not the club that’s going to elevate his game.

I think Dylan walker could be a solid buy

This might feel a little greedy or indifferent to other fellow forumers - my motivation for having Luai is that we might keep Galvin.

I don't think galvin is staying to learn behind luai. He's a big fan of cleary and munster. He'll be gone by 2026. Time to invest in latu fainu once he's fit. Galvin is a great player but his best position isn't in the halves, and I fear he will leave if he doesn't get what he wants

How many you reckon they missed?
The Leilua try at Cambo is the one that sticks in my guts… against the warriors maybe?

Didn’t even care to look…
Was a close game.

I want to know... but i don't... it gets me too worked up. As toovey said, there has to be an investigation!!!!

I was a big fan of Andrew john's, but I didn't change teams and follow Newcastle.
I was a bit fan of Stacey Jones, but I didn't change teams and follow the warriors.

Beggars can't be choosers. If there's any chance then we have to go for it. Fans are always finding excuses not to sign players that can make us better

I loved Jonathan Docking, Greg Barwick, David Fairleigh and Dean Lance.

Brett Kenny and Brad Clyde were my favourite non Magpie olayers

This seasons over... spoon more than likely ours... I'm looking to next year (yes.. there's always. Next year) as some form of positivity & hope.
I really hope Benji puts his ego aside and does what's best for the club & gets a highly experienced assistant.
A good tough off season with all our yound blokes coming thru with Luai's and Turuva should do them all a tonne good stuff fitness speed and combos... Hoping hoping hoping!

Expecting some good news this week.

Like when the doctor says "see you next month" type of good news.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Sean Lane - thoughts ?

 

[Kelce68]

I've got a bit of underwhelming news;

Tristan Hope, a hooker from Easts Tigers in QCup, will be coming down for the offseason with the club, likely a Cup contract.

Can only assume it's part of the process of bolstering our reserves side for '25.

Packer
Matulino
Reynolds
McQueen
Mbye
Tamou
Ballin
Peachey
Roberts
Leilua

.....beggars can't be choosers.

Just because a first grader is available, doesn't mean they're what we need.

Underwhelming & undersized, he's 174cm & 85kg.

Hope he can bring Ronald Philitoga with him on a T&T. This guy is the Jeral Skelton of the Qld Cup.

Whether Gals best position is halves or not shouldn’t matter, to fit them all in he may have to play another position and it’s at that point, if we are not winning, he will go to another club to play half and win more games.

I pretty sure Fairleigh was a good sort, but the other 3 no thanks. 😁
