Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I know this is a signings suggestions thread, but seriously we are a million to one chance of signing either Leo Thompson or Xavier Willison unless we pay them massive overs.
For those suggesting Turuva will be our saviour at centre and Skelton will be our saviour on the wing, I wish I shared your confidence.
Turuva is not real fast, not real big, not real strong and is a suspect front on defender, what attributes does he have to suggest he can be a quality centre ?
Skelton is a big beast, but slow for a winger, very rarely runs hard or aggressively enough to run over the top of opposing defenders and is a suspect defender who is prone to coming in when not required.
On top of this it is hopeful at best that Olam can overcome his injury concerns and get back to anywhere near his best.
That is just half our problems as we also have a head coach that struggles connecting with his players, numerous contracted players unwanted but not wanting to give up their over inflated contracts and hard to imagine any of them will be highly motivated.
Add an average at best forward pack lacking in quality and depth.
Unlesss a miracle happens in way of recruitment and retention between now and season 2025 kick off, it’s very hard to see us getting off the bottom of the ladder.

Turuva is not real fast, not real big, not real strong and is a suspect front on defender, what attributes does he have to suggest he can be anbute centre ?
Skelton is a big beast, but definitely slow for a winger, very rarely runs hard or aggressively enough to run over the top of opposing defenders and is a suspect defender who is prone to coming in when not required.
On top of this it is hopeful at best that Olam can overcome his injury concerns and get back to anywhere near his best.
And that’s just half our problems with a head coach that struggles connecting with his players, numerous contracted players unwanted but not wanting to give uk their over inflated contracts, hard to imagine any of them will be highly motivated.
Also an average looking fiorward pack lacking in quality and depth.

Thanks for being realistic Vicious. In this fantasy thread.
 
Haven't kept up with Leo Thompson news - but does he actually want to leave the Knights? They've just signed his brother over from Rugby.

He is wanted by all 17 NRL clubs, so what makes anyone think he will choose to sign for the 3 time Wooden Spooners ?
It’s a great idea in theory, but the reality says he is no chance of signing for Wests Tigers unless we make him far and away the highest paid prop in the game and pay him around 1.2 million per season.
And as good as he is, he has not showed anything to suggest he is good enough to carry our forward pack on a 1.2 million dollar per season wage.
Yes we managed to sign Luai, but only by paying him 200k more than any other club was willing to pay him, the salary cap does not allow us to do that with more than one player and being any chance of building a decent team around them.
