Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[gregjm87]

Luai, Turuva, Hunt, May, Bird, Skelton are evidence of value recruitment. Prior to that Koroisau and Fainu bros. If Taylan May is committed to the club, fine. That is a matter for Richardson and Marshall to determine.

Thus far only May and Api have provided value from that list.
Luai hasn't gone close to his price tag. I don't know what Turuva is costing us, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap and his performances have been at best, mixed. Hunt has failed to either change momentum in games or play an increased role. Bird has had some good moments but was also dropped out of the team a few weeks ago. Skelton, I'm impressed with when he is on the field to be fair but has missed plenty of games.
Two of the Fainus are reportedly on half a million. One had a solid rookie year but has been awful this season. The other has hardly been on the field nor performed to his price when he has, though I think he will eventually prove a good player. Sione is probably playing above his contract but had a couple ordinary years before doing so.

Speaking of ageless, I was at our local Woolworths this morning and who should be at the checkout? Garry Jack.

hes still built like a tank too.

Turuva $450K and without Luai May was gone to the Dogs

Have to say I see things totally different. But each to there own

Luai and Turuva have been massive and are worth every cent they are paid

Skelton was pivotal and its no shock we are starting to struggle without his 20 runs a game

Disagree that Luai has been. He has been content to let Galvin be dominant. he isnt involved enough with the ball. Underperformer thus far for mine. Turuva has proven a very reliable finisher and has no problem putting his hand up for work. For his price we are getting value.

I don’t think he even has a try assist. I love the guy, but you can’t deny he’s been underwhelming on the field.

LATEST

We are hearing the parramatta Eels have upped their offer overnight to 800k plus for Lachlan Galvin

A decision will be made by Galvin between Dogs and Parramatta in the next 24 hours

Can't believe anything in the paper. The person feeding all this will be issac. I highly doubt that he's going for less, just spin to suit the narrative.

 

[innsaneink]

Harry Hassett playing for Penrith tonite....a few here had a lot of raps on him last year and wanted him here....dunno his contract status

 

[barnsta]

I'm hoping once the Galvin soap opera finally finishes we will have the new signings announced

Luai has 4 try assists so far.

He is more then his on field stats he drives training bringing up the standards of the club holds people accountable

 

[BAGNF05]

Luai has 4 try assists so far.

And many more where he has attracted defenders and created space for his edge players.

That just doesnt pass the pub test when we got pasted by 64 recently. Those standards are not high enough and dont meet his ROI.

The try assist stat can be misleading at times but I agree he’s helped set up more than 4 tries despite only having officially 4 to his name this year.

Yep. Tito is up near the top in tries. A key responsibility of your 7 is identifying space and pulling the trigger at the right time. I think his last tackle options need improvement but he’s contributing to our much improved attack.

Agree his last tackle options are in need of major improvement his kicking game isn’t his best attribute but Luai has contributed to both improvements in attack and defence. Still have a lot of work to do though all round though, and by that I mean the entire team not just Luai.

 

[BUGSY MALONE]

He’s Danny’s son. True story.

Not Neville's?

 

[Flippedy]

Gus has got them nervous

Pushing the price up no doubt, making Parra pay more.
