Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigers]

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.

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.

Galvin swap?

If there is a swap, Cleary will want a player he knows can deliver.

I suspect he won’t be giving away a current Origin player for nothing… who else would he want

That's just exciting ......Top 4 here we come

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.

No-one is paying Bunty 900K

Maybe for 5 years

Galvin swap?

They have Talagi going there next season to play 5/8 already. I was thinking they’d be after a young gun front rower to help replace JFH. Pole needs to be extended ASAP

Aho, Godinet, Taupau-Moors, Broederlow, Fa'agutu, Miller, Havea Jr., plus a couple of others.

There's plenty there, but they're either underdeveloped or a bit young for the moment.

Article states depth......

Not bad, to be honest.
Well done.

Brooo imagine To’o and Skelton on either wing! That’s like 500 metres a game combined from two players! Holy 🔥

 

[Vicious]

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.

If you pay him anymore than 150 you are getting robbed.

Yeah I guess that's my point. Plenty of backs making debuts, but very few forwards. Miller being the only one from memory. Maybe Kit L?

Seems like the forwards are well behind and we have a while to wait before we see them in NRL consistently.

Is To'o considered stocky? Like Cam Murray?

Heading down there as a bit of an old school get together.
First stop, the Railway.
Good times ahead.

Great ol oval to watch the game , I remember the ground being chockers back in the day ,there was the odd time when you could sit on the bike track 👍

Your boy haha. Ahlan wa sahlan bro 😝

Charbel Tasipale and Jaxon Rahme, all in the same year.... Richo is a Cedar fan 🇱🇧

Maybe Jalal Bazazz up next.

Let’s continue the Lebanese connection and sign Jordan Samrani for extra depth.
Very good emerging centre/winger who can also play back row.

Where does he play ? Can’t say i have heard of him , is he top grade material?
