Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Canadian Club]

Anyone else notice that the Terrell May email and website says:

“An NRL playing contract will be signed in due course”

Makes me think that we don’t have the roster spots and that the Miller and Faagutu contract releases have not formally been approved by the NRL yet…

Miller's legal action is likely the hold up

Yeah that's what I'm thinking/hoping...

Just pay your membership. They dont care what you think. Sorry to be honest. But. Life is short. Show us the money.

6 out of the 17 players on a game day could be brothers… that would have to be some kind of record lol

Canterbury had 3 Hughes and 3 Mortimer brothers in the same team back in the late 70's early 80's

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thats why they were good. Played like brothers. Not ATM machines.

The Luai signing was the one that was to turn this club around - already starting. Beautiful.

Well done Benji and Richo.

 

[Magpies1969]

Loving all the signings and departures so far. I feel I am in an alternative universe and I loving it. Bring on 2025.

They were all very good players too

Here is my predicted best 17

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Olam
4. ???
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. Klemmer
9. Api
10. May
11. S.Fainu
12. Bateman
13. Bird
14. L.Fainu
15. Twal
16. Pole
17. Hunt

1. Jahream Bula.
2. Jeral Skelton.
3. Sunia Turuva.
4. Justin Olam.
5. Luke Lualilii.
6. Lachlan Galvin.
7. Jerome Luai.
8. Terrell May
9. Apisai Koroisau [C]
10. David Klemmer
11. Samuela Fainu
12. Jack Bird.
13. Alex Seyfarth.

14. Tallyn Da Silva
15. Royce Hunt
16. Fonua Pole
17. Alex Twal

Sione, Latu and Timmy Johannsen all thereabouts. Bateman also if he's sticking around.

That's a solid line up nonetheless.

 

[rugbygoated]

I didn't say Burton was no good, I said I'd rather have Luai or Galvin. Would you not?

No I agree. Just thought you said Latu as well. Galvin > Burton in the future. As of now, Burton > Galvin

 

[weststigersfinals2025]

But Bateman could be his best witnh hard edge forwards. Free him up a bit.

🤣🤣🤣 put Bateman in the storm and he’d still be shit

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Even you dont believe that. Its popcorn talk brother

 

[versa]

I think may will play 13. Big body good motor can ballplay

 

[Tucker]

I think you can just about fit all our forwards in now, IF Bird plays in the centres.

8. May
9. Koroisau
10. Klemmer
11. Bateman
12. Sam Fainu
13. Sione Fainu

14. Da Silva
15. Pole
16. Seyfarth
17. Hunt

18. Twal
19. All the kids- Matamua, Kit, Sukkar etc.

That's a strong looking set of forwards IMO.

The bench needs upgrading.

 

[Kaito]

We're going to be a powerhouse soon fellas,

Strike all across the park, not bad Dempsey

 

[Tucker]

I think Richo should be immortalised with a bronze statue of him out the front of the Zurich CoE if the club turns around.

Do we do it in his current condition or maybe a likeness from 15 years ago?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

For us maybe. So have the other 16 teams. They too have strike across the park. How do you measure it then? What would be a fair scale?

 

[Kaito]

The bench needs upgrading.

Tucker what's your bench look bro? TDS/Hunt are
good injections. Twal sures up the middle...

 

[Tiger_claws]

I'd argue that we of all clubs we've probably recruited the best.... Difficult to gauge cause all clubs requirements and needs are different

We'll done Richo Benji and Romey... Good signing.. Hope he stays outta trouble and becomes a leader... We need these guys from Penrith and the Roosters to make sure we raise the bar to their old clubs level.... Or as close as possible to it

Totally agree. We have signed some real quality. I also think Jack Bird won’t hold back if players take short cuts at training. I think he will thrive leading these young blokes. Romey will take over when he arrives. Bloody hard not to get excited but this club just drags me straight back in whenever I question my loyalty.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Pole over Bird anyday
