Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Nanai would be a perfect fit for us, he’d be at the top of my list if there was any chance of him becoming available.
If not Nanai, Fifita at even 80% of his best is would improve our team dramatically and if not either of them I suppose Pearce-Paul would do.
It appears one of these 3 will be a Wests Tigers player real soon.

Nanai moved away from his favoured right side this season. He was also part of the Samoan tour to England last year with Romey, Terrell & Skelton. Food for thought.

Try scoring machine.
Would really benefit us.

Fifita is a signing worth making.

It's clear as day he's disgruntled there. The player we're seeing now isn't the player he is and if we can get him at a significant discount, we're getting a guy that when his head and body are right, is arguably the best second rower in the game.

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Very hard to say no to running the rush on Fifita. Probably the most gifted forward of this generation in par with Haas. With the likes of Jarome and co that might help him buy into the culture here.

He is absolutely worth the risk, the potential is massive!

I need my car keys back bro 💔😆😆

I’d take Nanai any day over Fifita

 

[Jimmy]

Tbh I couldn’t care less which one…any of nanai, Fifita , KPP Instantly makes our pack very close to complete…highly doubt we secure any of them but who knows

 

[Bellend]

Can Nanai do the dirty work in defence, all in good been a good attacker but you cannot have a player go missing when it is time to tackle. This also applies to Fifta who looks like Tarazan but ends going walkabouts.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Don’t get the hate for KPP. He’s a gun and plays on the opposite side to Sammy.

 

[Kaito 2]

Nanai on the right would be fantastic

 

[Tito Santana]

Fifita being shopped to a Sydney club and willing to take a pay cut

YES

The only way I would do this deal

 

[Tito Santana]

I’m getting Olam vibes with Fifita.

Plus he looks fat.

 

[user118245]

Some of you need spelling lessons 😂

 

[tigertragic]

Maybe, or it's DCE they're after

DCE and Manu maybe

 

[Tom Shines]

His salary for the rest of the year is ~ $500K and next year it’s $1M. If Titans contribute $100K for the remainder of this year and $200K for next year, his salary averages out to be $600K spread across two seasons. If Richo’s got money burning a hole in his pocket, this would be a good buy. If it’s true Fifita’s uncle is Bula’s father in law, a family connection and change of scenery could be exactly what he needs.

You are cheating a little with your numbers … you are proposing a total of 1.2m over 1.5 years…

Is he for sale even at those figures ?

The ankle injury is a concern, but he is 5-6 years younger than Olam when we signed him, that makes a big difference.
In any case we really don’t want to be going much higher than 700k for Fifita or KPP, although I would personally go as high as 900k if we could secure Nanai.
I think it’s certain we land one of these 3, if it’s Fifita maybe an instant transfer which would be interesting.

Des could be out the door in two weeks, then Fifita is all of a sudden part of the incoming coach’s plan

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I think with the pending announcement of the Bears joining the NRL in 2027 a lot of teams are scrambling to sort out their cap before Nov 1 to make sure they don't get caught in bidding wars with other clubs. Could be why Richo got on the front foot with Galvin rather than waiting to fully sort out our cap.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

DCE and Manu maybe

Manu will be at the Warriors if he comes back to league imo.

Des it likely to be out the door in two weeks, then Fifita is all of a sudden part of the incoming coach’s plan

I reckon he’s out of there regardless.
The comments from Tino didn’t exactly defend Fifita, they might have had a falling out and that might be the problem.
