Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I like the 17 … would probably tweak a couple of things … Klemmer to the bench …Pole to starter ..Klemmer is really just expensive depth now ..Latu needs to be in the 13 each week somewhere …

Mostly agree but reckon Pole needs to fix his defence if he wants to start, and fulfil his potential. Has been found wanting for some time now & I'm wondering if coaching staff has identified this & working with him to improve. That's a bit of a common thread throughout our top 30. Seems to be deficiencies in basic footy skills, etc, that don't appear to be improving.
Agree on Klemmer. We need a genuine no. 1 front rower, with Pole & Hunt providing impact in shorter stints. I hope we're having a serious look at Leo Thompson.

Burn it to the ground & rebuild it properly this time.

The earliest sign for next season if benji has improved is if his starting prop rotation is 2 different profiles of prop, one big bopper and smaller more mobile prop. That’s the way forward in the modern game. We’ve been playing 2 big boppers all season and while they’ve both been poor, I think it’s hard to survive like that. We went all big and all the mobility was on the bench

any bad blood between montoya and staines after he sent him into row F 🤣

After last night, I don’t see Staines and Montoya having a chance to clash. Charlie will be playing Cup the entire year unless injuries strike.

 

[weststigerman]

Staines has been good at times but last night he was as tame as Tim Moltzen. If Montoya has signed hopefully it means he and Naden are gone.

 

[Demps]

Never rated Montoya but he's come good at NZ...

Fijian connection? 🇫🇯

Our backline would look quite good with his addition.

1. Jahream Bula
2. Marcello Montoya
3. Sunia Turuva
4. Justin Olam
5. Jeral Skelton

Few backup options too.

Had a few problems with some of his team mates over his sexuality

I don't care if you like boys or girls just if your a good person

And you’re not a shit footballer

 

[Demps]

It still stands we need to release a few from the top 30.

Bateman? Hopefully good info regarding he isn't coming back.

Local lads, Tumeth & Matamua? Can we move them to cup contracts or something?

Sullivan and Naden? These are the two we need gone the most. We need to chop them without too much financial damage.

Who else?
Staines?

Hope this isn't a sign for the future

Jack Bird out injured today

Prob just avoiding any risk before he locks in a contract.

 

[Tucker]

We don’t need Jack Bird. It’s a strange signing.

He's always injured.
Didn't he say he had mental health issues also?

Not sure Demps

 

[Tito Santana]

The Forbes Ferrari getting out enthused to the ball by a nobody hooker sums him up. Myth.

Forbes Ford Fiesta - Small car with no grunt. Pathetic.

 

[yeahcaz]

Staines is crap let’s be real. Has super league written all over him

 

[king_sirro]

Can Montoya bring Webster with him?

Exactly. And if he batted for the other team, I’m sure there are others in the NRL.

Fijian era haha 👌🏽

Fijians not renowned for their defence. Will be a perfect fit at WT.
