Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I would caution him to not go too hard too early. He seems pissed and maybe a bit embarrassed that the Roosters have rejected him after he put in a very solid year for them. Never missed a game, averaging good minutes and returning damn fine results.
Harness that anger and disappointment, dont let it consume him. We need him to put in 24 games for us next year, not 17 + a few suspensions...

Only 24 games, surely he gets a run when the finals come around.
 
I listened to the May poddy last night seems an impressive bloke i must admit my ears did prick up when he talked about running a marathon. But the alternative to that is he could be sitting on his lounge eating doritos. Something in the middle is probably ideal but you can't micro manage every second of a players life.

May already said his man management is what attracted him straight away.

Was very surprised to hear the comments about Benji, his man management and previous association with him being an attraction, but no mention of Jarome being a factor in his decision to sign with us.

Definitely has a very close association and fascination for his younger brother, sounds like playing with him at Wests Tigers (or anywhere for that matter) would be pretty high up on his wish list.

Yes but you are missing my point...we need to manage him properly this off season.
He is very keen to rip in - partly driven by revenge.
He is a chance of over doing it with the marathon stuff after a huge 2024 where he played 29 games.
Benji's man management needs to be on point.

I see your point man. Running is very taxing on the body. I just think of guys like Nick Diaz who would run daily. His gas tank won him alot of fights it's a marathon not a sprint
 
In the fair dinkum stakes, he's a $600k investment whose loads will need to be managed like anybody else.

If Moussa et al get a hold of him soon, I'm positive there won't be too many marathons on his conditioning tip sheet.
 
Out of interest, how many km would an 80 minute front rower run in a match?

35 sets up 10 and back 10 is around 3.5km in defence and add a few more metres for attack.

Is my maths right?
 
I reckon we are still one outside back short and two back rowers short.

We can’t have Douhei or Staines in the 17 nor Twal. Plus we need someone to replace Bateman (assuming he’s gone).

Anyone have any suggestions?

My best 17 excluding those three looks as follows

  1. Bula
  2. Turuva
  3. Olam
  4. ?
  5. Skelton
  6. Galvin
  7. Luai
  8. Klemmer
  9. Api
  10. May
  11. Sam Fainu
  12. ?
  13. Bird

14. L.Fainu
15. Pole
16. Hunt
17. ?
