Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I would take it..

Would love another center to cover Olam just in case

I think with Turuva and Skelton coming we could use Staines as a centre

 

[Juice]

I heard the Brian To'o rumour again today I think it has legs

I heard To'o , May and Toby Rudolph to the Tigers I love my Local

Was there any word on who Penrith would want in return for releasing To’o early?

Agree 2 would be good , third in club favour , remember he is not old

He would be the second oldest player at teh club, only jsut behind Api. He's older than Klem, Bateman etc

We also have to remember we'd be competing with other clubs for him. Competitive clubs may be able to offer 2+1 years, and try to make it 500k ish. We would have no choice but to offer 3 years at 600-700k just to compete with our clubs. In our favour would be Parra would likely only release him to the club that contributes the most of his salary, which would need to be us.

Yeah ..I’ll pass on those terms …thanks anyway

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.

Absolutely no chance we get RCG for 500k. Zero.

Bunty for 900k? lol, wtf???

Bunty is a nsw cup player these days, you'd get him for 250-300k as a bench prop rotation.

I doubt it's a thing. We already have 4 first grade wing options: Turuva, Laulilli, Staines and Skelton. Only Turuva is a possibility of playing another position.

I don't think we would have signed Skelton if we had To'o.

To’o story is absolutely not over
they agreed to park it until the offseason

turuva will move to the centers

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

It is about who we can get.
Yes ofcourse target Bunty...

I reckon though Benji would have a better chance then Ryles of signing Bunty if we can persuade him to leave NZ. would be an awesome replacement for Stef.

Could just be similar to the Papali’i situation here, you can’t make roster move’s without freeing up cashola.

RCG has been a fine player but his best years are behind him. We need to use our dollars and top 30 spots wisely.

1 Bula
2 To'o
3 Turuva
4 Olam
5 Skelton
6 Galvin
7 Luai

Starting to look very threatening....

Turuva inside makasini *pause

 

[Kaito]

Skelton is a centre too

 

[weststigers]

Attitude over athletisism...at this level, most of these guys can play.

The Tigers lack the attitude to tough out wins. Find those guys through the dross. Plenty of players available in reality. Just few high profile names. But honestly, other than us, who KNEW Shawn Blore before this year? Who really knew Samuel Hughes? Liam Henry?

And this statement ends up pointing to Horsburgh, Liam Knight and Hetherington as the answer?

 

[weststigerman]

Skelton is a centre too

Not really a good one defensively though.

Good backline. Lots of x-factor

 

[rihannafan1]

Toby Rudolph makes a lot of sense. Has connections to Richo, wouldn't be expensive, fringe first grader this year at Sharks.

Galvin swap?

I don't think we would have signed Skelton if we had To'o.

I reckon Staines gets pushed out in favour of our juniors as 2nd string. He tales up too much cap space to be sitting in Cup for most of the season.

On a more pressing note, who are our junior forward prospects? We seem to have loads of backs, but hardly any forwards.
