Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Ur kidding aren’t u , Matamua had his chance , lauillilli just does not look like a 1st grader , tumeth is a light weight and can’t even hold him own in nsw cup , haven’t seen enough of Sukarno , but we need at least 2 proven backrowers not kids

Need a backrower big time I think 1 quality player from outside the club

 

[The Chad]

I think there is something in Kit Lualili'i.

Needs to develop a little consistency, and you can't do anything about height, but he plays pretty tough when playing at his junior levels. Struggled in KOE & NRL a bit. But I still think there is something there to work with. His body type looks a bit like Papali'i did for us.

Are we getting a team list today?

With a short turnaround between trials , Sunday - Friday , I’m expecting an under strength team list today

Where are you getting them from and who are they ?
You are asking for something that is not available anytime soon, hence the reason why I’m assuming we are hoping someone currently on our books makes a big improvement in 2025 and fills the void.

Saw Olam today at training, what great buy! So glad we swapped him for BLORE, that was some really smart negotiations there.
Poor bastard running on one leg, busted. Didn’t he have the operation?? Gee u couldn’t tell he’s hobbling all over the training paddock.

Do we have a TLT or Trial thread?

Sione Fainu gets first crack at the Second Row this weekend.

Could answer so many questions if that works out.

Hassett hasn't kicked on..unfair swap for current international WEgave them
We need bigger and better..and they do become available

NRL site says Royce Hunt is being kept under wraps from this weeks trial

He’s playing in the all stars game the day before 🙄

I wouldn’t read too much into it

Big if

No bigger than most of the other question mark options.

We probably have 1 'middle' too many & are too light on the edges. Makes sense to try & put as many of your best players on the field as you can.

- Sione a 2rf is a fun experiment, idk if I like it or not think he’s a potential gun lock
- Tim J minutes 😍
- TDS the captain 👏 (big year ahead)
- No sign of Luke L? Indicator of favour?
- LG x Latu 🤤

Welcome back footy

Welcome back footy

We have so many 'potential gun lock' options that some of them will need to be flexible & play elsewhere.
