Who’s better out of large and makasini ?

Who’s better out of large and makasini ?

Yes.

 

[balmain boy]

Word on the street is Monday morning club are announcing Tex Hoy, John Asiata and kaide Ellis. And by street I mean facebook.

Why would we announce NSW cup signings?

 

[balmain boy]

if Makasini goes to Souths and Large to union I’m not sure the club will recover. We could never call ourselves a development club again.

These are the two players, along with Luai and Galvin, that we can build the club around.
If we are a development club then he m there is no alternative, we have to keep them whatever it takes.
There's no point keeping all the average joes if when a Jordan pops into your ballpark you trade him for Sam Bowie

A mate of mine went out to watch Newington versus Kings today. He said Makasini was awesome for Newington. However, there was a rumour floating around out there that Makasini had signed for Souths. Take it for what you will, it’s not a reliable source, but let’s hope it’s not true.

Makasini can't even talk to other clubs for another 6-9 months. Not sure of the new rule exactly but it's something like round 10 in the last year of the contract for local juniors

Good sign is he posted a story on Instagram of the Tigers win with 🔥🔥

Sometimes you can tell which players are invested emotionally in their club by their posts.

What does Starford To’a post after the game but a preview for tonight’s EPL Liverpool match! So much for congratulating his own team.

There’s been no talk about To’a but I for one hope he is being shopped. Got him for 2 more years and he is available less than 50% of a year. No loss but at the other side his potential makes him attractive to move on at full freight to any other clubs.

Same manager as Stef, iPap & Kepaoa too.

You are right. Another club would take him at full freight if Benji doesnt see him in our top 17.

His on-field attitude rubs me up the wrong way & doesn’t possess that eye of the tiger, just relies on a bit of class.

100% what I mean. He is a highlights player not an effort player.

He is a Reserve grade player and that is where he should stay. It is criminal that he takes up a spot in the top 30. Plenty of other outside backs sitting there with him however.

He has talent, and can be worked into something but not at our club.

Spot on... Need to offload him

Probably on the list that’s been told to find a new club next season

Why would we announce NSW cup signings?

Cause we can’t get NRL players to join our NRL team

Why would we announce NSW cup signings?

NSW Cup signings always get announced. The article on Skelton said we will announce "depth signings" soon. I don't know why everyone is expecting elite signings, they will hopefully come, but the article said "depth signings" a depth signing is not a player who will automatically play NRL.
Hopefully he's working on replacing Papali'i and Utoikamanu and we will hear about those replacements soon.

 

[Tito Santana]

Really hoping Benji does the Ricky Stuart and just writes names on a white board saying you’re not getting resigned.

Also hoping we don’t sign that Tallis Duncan. He is so shit

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

Who’s better out of large and makasini ?

Both are pretty much the best in their respective positions. I’d also say both of them would have a long line of clubs lining up, including ones from different codes.

I'm happy with depth signings, just don't announce them like marquee signings.
