Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Haven’t seen him for play much but a lot of people saying Faagutu is better than our other prospects. Isn’t he 20 and struggling to even get a bench spot in our bottom of the table NSW cup side? Hardly promising…

I just don’t think we can keep both Kit and Faagutu. Surely it’s one or the other? And kit seems to be closer to first grade based on selections/form etc.

Matamua is also on his last chance this off season IMO…makes the step up physically or not resigned. A shame cause an obvious talent - hopefully he sorts his work ethic which is rumoured to be lacklustre even by our standards…

Faagutu is a far better prospect than Kit Laulilii. The Storm were chasing Faagutu for good reason. He has had injury this season but he is continually played out of position at prop when he is a 13.
 
I am glad we are clearing roster spots. Shortly Richo can go shake the front rower, edge forward and centre trees and collect the fruit that drops.

He talks about how Inglis became available once.

Players not signed for next year are generally garbage. The players that will be released are similar to the hit list being talked about of questionable standards.

The other option is aging players whose inflated contract is not reflected in their performance. Generally to get these players you usually have to extend their contracts like we did with Klemmer. You then have a crap player on a load of money in 2 years that you can’t get rid of.

Moving on young blokes that haven’t quite fulfilled their potential is a good option, particularly if you can swap them for an aging injury plagued player. Look how the Blore/Olam trade is working.

The solution is not paying out blokes the last year of their contract to sign players that are just a bad on longer contracts.

Unless a couple of our youngsters turn the corner and develop into consistent first graders quickly, we are in for a couple more very poor years.

I put a hole in our door a couple of years back, I’ve calmed down since then.
But I do know a Wests Tigers supporter who threw his television off his balcony while watching them play this season.

I just tell my wife that we won again. If she watches the news I just say the other team will be disqualified because of salary cap cheating.. Then back to Dancing with the Stars
