Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BlackWhiteGold]

Is this a source or Facebook rumour mate? Personally I think he would be a decent bench player

Via Miksrl on Insta. She has good sources & often gets rumours right. She did comment that it’s ‘whispers’ & not verified.

little rumour I've heard is Sam Walker is very tempted to join the Brisbane Broncos from 2026 onwards, to take over from Adam Reynolds and pair with Ezra Mam

Yes I’ve heard that. I think the Levels boys said it a while back.

If Onitoni moves through the pathways as a fullback all the way up to cup then you’d have to assume that Jahream probably moves to centre to accomodate, which to be fair is his junior position. I’m starting to notice a trend that a lot of juniors want that fullback position for some reason (maybe money) but there’s not doubt Large will flourish there.

As for Heamasi Makasini I can’t say I see him as a wing nor would the club judging by his performances this year. The likely reasoning for that position is just to fit him in as they had to drop Xavier Tauaifuaiga so I wouldn’t read too deeply in it. It’s a clear sign that these boys are hopefully in for the ride.

Makasini plays on the wing in union so he's not unfamiliar to that position (albeit a different code). Probably also playing him on the wing to start so he can get a feel for speed of the game and step up in quality and size of the opposition.

That's not good for us as they will poach Galvin if they lose him IMO

Galvin will be gone by 2026. He wants to be the main man on both sides of the field kicking, passing and leading. Don't think him and Jarome will gel like some of our fans think. Latu Fainu is a gun too, I hope we don't lose him or upset him and end up 2 steps back

I thought they said it as a potential return to QLD. Not an actual rumour. Hearing he wants more money than Roosters are offering (haha) and is homesick. I think roosters are better off without him. Goes to water against the top sides (penrith and storm)

Or Moses….

 

[Canberratiger]

Or Moses….

Isaac will probably try and deliver both as a package. Take Moses and here is Galvin to sweeten the deal

 

[Halbrowne61]

Interesting that Bennett thinks Schuster has something to offer ? I still think he would have been a worthwhile pick up but obviously not rated by Benji.

Don’t need to. Hetherington has been sent off and sin binned multiple times. Horsburgh was sent off about a month ago in NSW Cup.

You’d think people would be tired of seeing us play with 12.

Hetherington has been way better this year with his discipline to be fair to him. The only binning he's had all year was when him and Reed Mahoney both got binned and we all know that is Reed's fault

 

[jrtiger]

Or Moses….

heard anything of note to do with WT recently mate?

Development Contracts end up Top 30.

They can, but they don't have to. Plenty of clubs sign players to one year development contracts.

Not now, not with his current state of mind/issues.

Benji does not need hard cases. Shulster is a hard case and will be difficult to coach. We do badly at getting out of form players to reach potential.

Lets not sign RCG unless it's in our favour.

Would prefer Bunty

 

[426Tlgerland]

RGC. Getting spoken about a bit in regards to a landing spot
Cowboys - if Toddy thinks he is worth it , I would agree
Dragons. - Flanno. Same as above
Bulldogs - Gus / Ciraldo. Same as above
just these 3 above think he is worth having opi would be chasing him as well .
RGC and Walker and Hetherington , that would add loads of punch

 

[crazycat]

Would prefer Bunty

100% yes I would prefer Bunty too.

Do we spend the Stefano money on Bunty then? Would the warriors give a release for 2025 or do we have to wait?

I could get us signing RCG for 500k with freight from Parra instead of Bunty for say 900k. That said, I would still prefer Bunty.

Dinnit Benji play with Bunty... ? Hopefully that can be a factor.

Bunty won’t leave NZ. , RGC. Should be our target at $ 700 k Parra to drop in $ 50 k
