Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I agree but I think they have both showed something that we should at least have some patience with. They may both be ready today but given where we are with backrowers, they be worth seeing if they can develop.

Happy to see how they progress in grade ...but they aren't anywhere near our Top 17
Props defending in the back row get eaten alive by quick halves
Just remember they have to be playing really big minutes as a back rower

What's he done to earn that title

Guess it could be worse ....people could be calling him the next Beast

far from disappointing this year,Hope he earns a decent nickname with us

Hopefully it’s not Scarlet by the end of the year.

Now we are going to have a tie for Dally M Player of the Year between Sukkar and Tim Jo ......

Unfortunately they will take points off each other so may be hard to win

This is my thoughts , if we don’t get 1-2 backrowers by the end of January, we will struggle big time , we have the best backline , we have had in years , yet we have not filled our backrowers , after letting papa and Bateman walk , no wonder we have 3 wooden spoons

Last year we complained about our middles + IP was out with injury and Bateman was not performing. We now have solid middles. Just missing 1 backrower really.

of course you'd want to add 2, but realistically, if we add one, we are more than competitive. I think we are competitive now regardless.

Out of ten I give the following ,

Bula 7
Skelton 6.5
Olam 7.5
Toruva 7.5
Stains 7
Galvin 8
Laui 9
Bird 7
Samuel’s 8
???
May 8.5
API 8.5
Klemmer7.5

Pole 7
Seyfarth 6.5
Hunt 6.5
????

A little generous on some of those IMO - Stains, Bird, Klem, Olam. Even Galvin at this stage a tad too high.
Maybe unders for Hunt given we use him correctly. Pretty fair assessment though.

You achieved that then.
I reckon you could take a point or two off most of them except JL and Api and you’d be close. Stains is a five for me.

Be interesting to see how paps goes back at 2nd row I thought he played best for us at lock.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Tim Jo and Sukkar have only played extremely limited minutes of NRL.....how anyone can be giving them any wraps as starters in the back row is absolutely ludicrous....or even Top 17 for that matter

Not giving any wraps said could be potential there would you prefer to get rid of them before we have a good look at them.

Joe Blow?

Haven’t been on here much the past couple weeks so it was probably already discussed but when was Ashton Large let go? I didn’t realise both brothers were going to manly

Large was let go to keep Makasini I think the younger Large is still with us at this time.

Yeah think it was only Onitoni.

As much as I don't like him starting it will probably end up as Seyfarth .....outside chance it's Bird

Mean from another club happy the best one we missed was Sitili Tupouniua not sure if he was right side but that type of player would be perfect.

People on Facebook were saying this was the younger brother? (I’ve got no idea what he looks like)

Don't know the ages but the half Onitoni went to the buzzards not sure about Ashton.

 

[Bellend]

Ashton was always going to leave because of his brother. Shame really but liable informed that one or both will be in Union within 2 to 3 years.
