Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger Stripes]

I don't think he doesn't put in, I just think he's ineffective. Time has passed him by.

His defence is OK, but taking the ball up is pedestrian and predictable how it ends.

Best mates with Api is our only hope

Wow, Api is friends with everyone, and all of Fiji.

 

[Vicious]

Probably.
Id prefer a 25 year old to be honest.

You can’t recruit what is not available.
I’ve got a feeling we are trying to sign Jack Williams as our 13 and although he is 28y.o he is playing as good if not better than ever, he keeps himself in good physical condition and always plays with high intensity.
He is the type of player that would improve us.

Dylan Walker or Jack Williams, surely we can land one!

Ideally, both.

 

[Telltails]

Dylan Walker is a genuine footy player but he breaks down a lot - high risk Olam like signing.

On yesterday’s effort Galvin can go. Can’t tackle to save his life.

Not easy when he's tackling for our entire backline.

Is Richo on the phone with any player managers? I am so [This word has been automatically removed]ing worried about 2025, let alone an inevitable spoon this year. Bateman, Stefano and Papali'i all leaving and while they've all been underwhelming on different levels, replacing them with juniors who aren't ready for first grade will be a disaster. If you go through our lineup there is about 5 or 6 guys who are not first graders and wouldn't start at any other team. We should just fold

They not only wouldn’t start, they wouldn’t even be signed by another team.

id argue the doogs were worse then us this time last year

luai will be fine, he'll back himself to transform the team, unlike our pillow prop who just left

They were 15th. They were underperforming, but that's because they were bunch of individuals not delivering. Our team's roster is genuinely awful, and our best player is regressing fast. It is only young guys coming through who provide any hope of getting out of this situation

He needs to stop doing the little jump skip he does when taking a hit up. It's an odd habit he has got into and it takes away from his momentum. Just get the ball and steam ahead.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Ideally, both.

We need both

 

[rugbygoated]

It could end up being the worst signing a player has ever made

And on the big money too. It's basically asking him to carry the worst team for ages, which will not only be a physical load, but a mental one

 

[rugbygoated]

Jason Taylor joining them has done wonders

Mick Potter was good last year too

If we can't sign a forward before next season we are beyond [This word has been automatically removed]ed

I wouldn't mind jazz tevaga

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Both starting props played 50 minutes to Api's 80 minutes, so there is that.

Klemmer defended well, again. There's just a narrative around here that he isn't putting in.

Agree. We have alot bigger issues than Klemmer in our side.

Ciraldo saw it clear as day when choosing between the Tigers and the Dogs.

Yep he clearly saw Lee & Pascoe at the helm

Kotoni Staggs high on my shopping list. We need
to sit tight. Plenty of players 2 b squeezed out soon

Bring it on! Donkeys won't be able to afford to keep both Staggs & Cobbo. I'd definitely save a fair chunk of our war chest for Staggs.
