Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[finnzo]

Thank god previous management are gone. We would have an entire top 30 filled with 16 year olds

 

[yeahcaz]

This list is massive. Ruling out any recent resignings and key players at their club; there remains the following from teams.

Knights: Brailey, Elliot, Hetherington, KPP, Thompson.
Manly: Brown, Bullemor, Lawton.
Bulldogs: Hughes, Bailey, Morrin.
Cowboys: McIntrye, McLean, Taumalolo, Neame.
Sharks: Hazelton, Rudolph, Kaufusi, Wilton, Talikai.
Roosters: Butcher, Whyte.
Penrith: no one stands out.
Melbourne: Kamikimika, Welsh.

I wouldn’t call a lot of these players “experienced”

Yeah that would rule out a couple. What would be the metric you reckon for that term?

I think Kit still needs to prove he’s worthy of a top 30 spot.

I think he has bad hands and he is not quick for a winger

 

[boonboon]

I think he has bad hands and he is not quick for a winger

Probably because Kit is a forward

 

[Tucker]

So we've got;

Chris Faagutu
Justin Matamua
Kit Lualilii

What's the best way forward with them?
Should we keep all three?

As per always, go for the Queenslander

My wrong , was thinking it was his brother

 

[Spartan117]

How do you sign players when there are no vacant spots for them?

That's a Tomorrow problem!

 

[lauriefromleichhardt]

Ask Gus

 

[Bellend]

Chris Faagutu if allow him to develop correctly has a very big upside.

 

[liltiger]

Exactly, other clubs seem to be able to sign excess players then move others on to fit them into the top 30. I might be mistaken but pretty sure the Bulldogs did that last year. Only problem is I imagine till you can fit the player into the top 30 the N.R.L won't register the contract. Someone here would know heaps more about it.

Give em a start so they can run home with their tail between their legs first chance they get?

It is a bit different, if you sign someone 6 months before their contract starts you've got a 6 months to clear space before it becomes an issue, preseason training starts in a couple of weeks, we don't have time to offload players, if we haven't been able to do so thus far

This guy rang the club demanding an update on Miller and they told him there'll be an update soon, probably this week

Who's to say we haven't done that but just haven't leaked it to the media?

So he's gone unless they would have said he is contracted until 2026
