Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

KPP was copping it for weeks. One good game and people have done an immediate 180.

Not by everyone. I’ve been saying for ages he is a significant upgrade on the edge Seyfarth and so have others.

Interestingly his stats yesterday were down in terms of meters. It just seemed when they got behind they opened up their game and gave him more quality ball and backed his offload.

The latest reported rubbish from Fifita is a huge red flag and should be a huge warning to the club.
NO!

$2.8 million on Ponga and Dylan Brown next year

high risk for sure ..

Also ..we have kinda filled his spot already with the KPP signing

If weve snared KPP,dont need Fifita...too high risk vs reward
Pick up a big middle

 

[Canadian Club]

I don't mind Sam back to the middle at some point, but I think it's a way off and it would work better once he grows into his body around 24/25 y.o.

That being said, he may continue to rise in quality as an edge and make himself immovable from that position too.

He's such an exciting prospect to see grow.

Samuela’s body type is better suited to back row. He’s tall and powerful. They’re the players you want running at halves 1 on 1.

Nah man. Been watching him for a while his base stats are really good which shows he is constantly involved. My concern wasn’t with KPP more so whether the Tigers will be able to use him more effectively than the Knights do.

Some of the posts on this forum seriously confuse me.

We have a top 3 prop in the game (May) and people want to move him to lock.

Then some want to move our player of the year last year (Samuela) from back row (where he won POTY) to prop.

Thank god the forum doesn’t coach the team 😀

Come on May pretty much plays lock and doesn’t at all run like your traditional prop.

KPP 3 year deal official.

The only difference I would say is May stays at A defender mostly locking up the defence on his side of the ruck more so then what a lock would do by playing a more roaming defender role.

Why aren’t I getting these members emails?

 

[BalmainBoy67]

Do people actually read the story ? Seems to be based on comments that we already saw from Chammas on Wed night Wests Life podcast …and he says that WT discussed Fifita “internally” but have moved onto KPP?

Once you get past the click bait headline…it’s seems to be ruling him out

Of course I read the story TS, just put it up for others to read. And nothing is ever ruled out until they sign the dotted line... L.Galvin is a classic example of that. 👍

No argument that 'tall and powerful' are great traits for edge backrowers.

But they are also great traits for middles too. So probably not a deciding factor on his best position long term.

For clarification, I firmly believe he is far better suited on an edge for the time being, if not for his entire career. But, being a former middle, I think a shift in time is plausible depending on the circumstances, squad makeup, etc.

good signing well done Benji and Richo

 

[hodgo]

I really don't get us.

Fifita is a generational talent. The talent hasn't gone he is just hating life where he is at. Dudes still.mid 20s.

Will be our best forward since Ellis.

Well.him.amd may

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Nice way to end the week. I’m surprised they quote him talking about his signing since he’s currently contracted with someone else. Saw a similar thing yesterday with the Titans announcement of Morrin. But anyway, good signing.

I don’t see many clubs rushing to sign him. That in itself is a red flag.

What’s next?!?!?

 

[Lukic]

Assuming the money is what's been reported, KPP is a good signing.

There's a very small chance he underperforms it, but a great chance he overperforms it. A guy with upside entering his prime.
