Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Skelton is not a centre - never played centre never will play centre !! Do you even watch rugby league 😩

Actually Skelton has played a little centre in Rugby…but was mostly a loose forward! The Rebels moved him to inside centre and the transition was apparently going well but he decided to move across to NRL. Defensively he is very very good! Indeed much better than the young winger who played last weekend for the Schools Rugby team

It’s the castaways that are just as important at the moment. I can’t wait to see who and how we let go.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be Jaxson Rahme who we signed from the Knights.

Bloody spell check.
My posts would be like @Merlot without it though.
Numbers rule!!!

Montoya granted a release. Where will he end up?

Bulldogs. JAC to Dragons is my guess.

I'm convinced we are right in the mix for To'o

Go to 36:55 minutes and listen to the way horo and mason react - they've heard more than they are letting on.

Whatever happened to Ken Maumalo? Signed for the Titans and never played a game. Seemed to drop off the side of the earth

He's been playing for their cup side.

I see nothing more there than the 2 of the discussing the previously reported rumour. Not saying there isn't anything to the rumour (I've no idea either way) but I doubt these 2 know any more than the rest of us.

Union flankers get through a lot a work and aren't afraid of contact. He is a good body shape for centre in league and his defence and running game suit centre well.

He's getting through the work required on the wing in league, but probably not as fast as what you'd want on the edge.

I'm ok with both positions for him, but if we can pick up a good winger, he'll go well at centre as well.

Would you say Brian to’o fits the mould?
