Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

When Galvin runs at the line, he has to pass the ball back 2m to some slow moving or slow thinking centres. They don't seem to be able to foresee opportunities? Maybe see it but too slow to execute it?
Stand to deep.............too slow? Stand too shallow.............no time to think where I should be heading.
It must be frustrating for an 18yr old to have to wait for the experience to arrive.

A bit both ways on this,
Yes our centre’s don’t run holes,
Second rower Fainu does ✅
Galvin runs a lot sideways (needs to straighten occasionally)
Our backs run the same line running straight into the sideline.
Things for all to work on over the pre-season.
 
A few players I'll be very interested to see where they end up who are off-the-radar atm are:

Josh Schuster
Taylan May (obviously pending court date & result)
Ronald Volkman
Sione Matu'atia

If Schuster has done a Rocky-like training camp in Siberia & has committed to being a backrower on a smallish initial contract, he could be worth a 2-year punt. But the chances of that are slim and I think he wants to prove himself as a 5/8.

Volkman as a possible T&T if somehow we end up without either Sullivan & Sezer, probably unlikely.

Matu'atia was carving up for St Helens in ESL, off contract and could be a low cost backrow/centre utility with experience, depending what happens with Bateman.

Hamlin Uele is the one to target - He's ripe for the picking....
He's their highest paid, And the one they'll 'need' to move to keep balanced...
The one they'd least like to lose, But it's either the 1 of him, Or 2 of the Others....
He's the best of all of them, and the one we need....

Been off the park a bit this year, But he's coming into being a real beast for them.

Do you read? The entry above your entry stated that Uele has re

If it's small contract initially, I can totally see Josh Schuster coming to play for Benji.

Short-term, good attitude = reward, same rubbish = dump.

Forgot about Schuster. He would be massive for
us at 13 after 1yr off. I'm sure benji has tabs on whether he's been training and keeping in shape.
450-500k wouldn't break the budget, he was getting
800k at Manly. Nobody has put their hands up @ lock

Staines to centre , he has the speed and also the ticker to try and break any one on one defence at speed
 
I still can't believe what Manly did with Schuster, and the media barely blinked.

If we had re-signed a player like that for overs at a time where it was obviously a bad deal, and then cut him loose not long after - we would have been rinsed.
