Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not really the thread for it but Bar TV is showing our NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg trials tomorrow. How bloody good is this even if there is no commentary!
Further on this, a few players I'm keen to keep an eye on if they play ...

NSW Cup (3:30pm) Cameron Kanaan, Max & Mitch Taotua, Eiden Ackland, Kurt Falls, Bailey Hodges, Vaka Aho.
Jersey Flegg (1:30pm) Creedance Kelly-Donovan, Nehemiah Wautai-Davis, Jekope Sovau (prop - Api's cousin).
 
We’ll only be in the best position if/when we start winning games.
Yes, but in spite of over 10 years of Pain and 3 years of Agony...

I hold hope that round 1 we can prove we have a side that will do something.

Even if we don't win and I see Romey and co put in, I will cheer and scream for my team again...

If we fold.... Going to watch Volleyball or something.


Lets see what the first 5 rounds bring.

What about golf, man that bores the crap out of me.
 
Like Galvin Dogs can sign him from November 1st…. But you can bet your house that Gus has already signalled his intentions via a 3rd party to both….Richo and Benji know this but are at the mercy of the Agents… who are not interested in talking contract extension for now
TDS can go to market November 1st and haven't heard anything about him resigning with Tigers!
 
If it is TDS I assume Richo will probably be having words to the NRL about anti-tampering as he said he would with Galvin.

I’m not particularly convinced TDS is going to move to the dogs. I’m pretty sure the club values him highly. He has a clear path to consistent starts in the NRL from at the very latest 2027 which is when his contract expires anyway (end 2026) so it’s not like another club could fast track him to first grade like Manly are planning to do with Large. He’s been given a captaincy role in the trial and the club likely views him as a future leader of this squad. Dogs already have Mahoney who is probably a top 5 hooker in the comp.

Additionally, dogs were in the market for a tonne of players in the off-season (including Terrell May) and they only got 1 because they “withdrew interest” (yeah right) from the others. I don’t think Gus is as much of a drawcard/master negotiator as he’s made out to be.

The way he puts players through the shredder when not wanted you would expect the appeal to wear off sooner or later.
 
Can we throw a million at Joey Manu and get him back to league for the WT! His numbers are outrageous as a FLB plus a world class centre which we desperately need! The yardage game with Manu, Turuva and Skelton would be enormous 🔥
