Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We both know Bud is an origin 3 call up.

Benny has does wonders for him.

Thats a huge call, Nate is pretty much on his way to immortal status.

Gotta say I agree, I’ve watched a bit of Katoa and he has all the tools. His deception around the ruck and in block plays has blown me away a few times.

Where’s Kade 7 when info is appreciated

Katoa is the player that everyone should be pursuing and talking about if they want to be serious about sustained success
The Galvin obsession is now becoming weird.

The Dolphins are attempting to recruit George Williams to play 1/2 so Katoa can move to 5/8. MSN had an article yesterday.

Releasing Galvin probably has a fair bit to do with understanding what we have in Latu. Hopefully he gets 10 games or so to give us some idea.

Oh my, now that's a nice idea...

"Hey Galvin, you thought you hated Benji... meet Madge!"

In fairness, Galvin would probably revel in Madge's pre-season training regeme. Totally learn nothing about actual NRL, but work himself to death in a meaningless preseason training that will make the rest of the team exhausted.

... SMH!

So you have DCE (which they have approached) and Reynolds who says he wants to keep his family in Brisbane... But hey lets ask George Williams! !?!?!

Although this may be cap trouble. Gw would be cheaper then the other two and that's probably what the fins are thinking...

 

[crazycat]

Bennet has turned Bud into a koe player where benji couldnt.

Hence Lauries shortlist.

Yea, ah ...

What about AD making that same list?

(BTW makes no sense to me... Conner Watson, AD... must be looking for Utilities... but ??)

 

[balmain boy]

He's a solid young right centre but imo Toa has demonstrated he has the pace and much improved defence to be our right centre.

Toa isn't half as good as Penisini

No I don't agree with that statement. Penisini has a big reputation and perhaps it is deserved but from what I have watched, he is solid. Toa has finally started to fulfill the potential his selection in both the Aust Schools and Junior Kiwis teams suggested. His pace against Souths in the Mitchell chase was on show for all to see even though I suspect he was not 100% fit.

He's half as good...

Neither of them are as good as they're made out to be.
Penisini was dreadful last year.

He’s out collecting info for the forum.
Give him time.

People lose a sense of reality on this forum. There's nothing to suggest that Reynolds has the skills to be a mentor (which is different to his skills as a player) and it didn't work out well for his previous understudy at Souths. There's also nothing to suggest that Latu would be able to learn from Reynolds as his skill set is different. The student/teacher thing is very hard to work through in a professional sports area where both players are trying to play at the elite level at the same time.

 

[The Claw]

Swap for Sandon Sm

There's like two remaining players Brooks played with. 😂

The chapter is closed.

thank God For that Demps. Can't wait for Manly to get a taste of Brook's true form without DCE next year. Brooks is still by far the worst player i have ever watched.

 

[Flippedy]

Personally think Galvin is 3 years off being elite. Suppose Gus loves a 5 year plan.

You don’t think he’ll improve dramatically under a coach he actually listens to and respects? Look at Moses, he was a dud here too because he didn’t want to be here anymore. Goes to Parra becomes a game breaker and now Origin half. Galvin will improve in an environment that suits him, of that I have no doubt.

Lachlan Ilias and Latu Fainu are hardly comparable. I'm not advocating we aogn Reynolds, I think it's a ridiculous option actually.

I quite like the point you raise. Ill have to think it over.

Maybe reyno could help him with his kicking game, one of the best in the business

 

[Spartan117]

I would love Adam Reynolds as Attacking/Halves coach.

 

[Johnnycash]
