Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

News Corp are reporting Manly and North Queensland are on the verge of a player swap which will see the Cowboys sign Jaxson Paulo while Cowboys-contracted Mackay Cutters back rower D’Jazirhae Pua’Avase joins the Sea Eagles.
Can someone please pronounce this for me.

Dejarsirehey Pua-avas-e?
 
Maybe, but I would argue that 240% tackle breaks and 640% for Kaufusi offloads wise easily outweigh the other figures, and highlight just where our middles are lacking.

Don't want anything to do with NAS.
No of course not hes not a Wests Tigers type of forward. Big Powerful that doesnt just fall at the line. Experts like Gus reckon Storm cant win without him but not good enough for Wests Tigers. ok . So whats your opinion on signing Bird and Hunt.
 
What’s RCG. Status , is he still up,for grabs as I would jump in with an offer
strong , reliable , big minutes , no injuries , experience
Nothing announced yet. I initially thought Dogs but could be either Panthers or Roosters. Seems like it’s one of the clubs in finals contention or recently knocked out.
 
Props under contract for 2025 at Sharks even with Hunt & Williams gone ...

AFB
Kaufusi (option likely taken up)
Rudolph
Hazelton
Hamlin-Uele
Tapuha
Colquhoun

IMO that's one too many and a lot of % in salary cap taken up by props, I reckon one of Rudolph or Hamlin-Uele who both would be on decent coin will be allowed to explore options.

Either would be good for us!
Always look forward to your comments BWG. Keep it up please!

Apart from that I cannot cop him as a human ever since I watched his massively unnecessary level of violence in Bali, I see him likely ending up with WT as his retirement package benefactor and Gould almost always has ulterior motives, such as burdening a rival.

Concerned about the duration of contracts with the benefactor bit if no club option and okay with them otherwise, particularly as I don't expect Bateman to return and Bird can cover centre.
 
When thinking offloading you also need to remember we don't have anyone who supports the play. Bula is nowhere near the ruck, ever, too unfit and lazy. Needs a real kick up the ass. Mason is far superior to Bula on that one regard. Even Galvin is superior.
If there's no one to pass to you can't offload...!
Agree, seems to be a bit strange to me we look great when we push up in support of the ball carrier. Majority of games we just don't it's one out stuff and just looks real pedestrian.
 
I think your disregarding the fact we had half of our top 30 out for majority of the season I don’t think we would of secured a third wooden spoon if that hadn’t happened
I think, because we're kind of used to so rubbish, that this had been largely overlooked in our 3rd wooden spoon season. Also, the age and inexperience of the 37 (? Not sure of the exact number) players used over the season had to have a big impact too.
