Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Moh]

He's not an NRL player, I don't see it at all.

I don't think anyone who has suggested him, at least definitely @Demps , was suggesting him for NRL specifically.

If he really wanted to be around his brothers here, he'd be a very good depth player to have. His experience for our reserves would be great.

I really don't like him as a person - but Terrell has changed my perspective on the family as a whole, so I wouldn't be too upset if we had him here for depth.

Not good enough for us though lol

Same with Nanai, also apparently not good enough for us haha

The only new signings I want to see are upgrades, especially in the forwards KPP is a good start.

We need a minimum of two more quality forwards and a centre if we are going to get even close to the eight in 2026…as for 2025 our goal will be to avoid the spoon. At present we have a few good players mixed with lots of plodders

Improve team one at a time, have patience and achieve an upgrade in class player in all positions along with holding and investing in the best of the best juniors

That’s the key mate. Hard to ask long suffering fans to be patient but a big part of our failure recently has been signing any old mug because they’re available.

penrith watching Fifita situation closely , almost had him couple years ago and would take him now

richo looked at him too but kpp better prospect for his age

Interesting that you've heard the same as me, especially considering my source isn't a player agent

 

[Vicious]

Sorry to disagree Vicious you seem very astute on this website but as an old lower grader from the late sixties KKP to me is a jogger and a cuddler I think this time next year this forum will be full of complaints regards his signing

Tiger Jack that’s a fair call and I do agree him jogging too often is a concern.
But I’ve watched him very closely in recent weeks and he definitely has good speed off the mark which makes a man of his size a handful when given good ball.
He definitely needs a coach to keep him motivated and I’m not sure if Benji is the right person, but there’s definitely a good player in him, particularly if he’s coached to get a bit deeper and run a bit harder more regularly.

 

[tigahhh]

anyone here begging for Klemmer back he is getting absolutely sliced by the phins lol

Now we have KPP locked up do we need an established first grader in the other 2nd row position, reason I ask is I really think we should be going all out for Hassett from the Panthers, he's still developing but looks like a really good player.

Why can’t we have KPP and Fifita ?
Surely we can afford Fifita more than what the Panthers can, didn’t they buy out our 600k per season contract for Papali’i ?

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Hmmm Samuela has said he would rather play prop. Certainly if a good quality left second row came available you would strongly think about it.

Yep Hasset is a machine and is down the pecking order over there.

 

[Tito Santana]

Katoa dominating tonight.

Galvin doesn’t compare to him.

 

[Bones]

Well KPP is a massive upgrade on Bateman

Of course he is, but we need players now if we are any hope of making finals. We have 2 or 3 injuries and we are playing Naden in the second row.

At some stage you have to stop sacrificing today for tomorrow.

 

[tigahhh]

bit of random info but bula’s wife , Aaliyah has signed a nrlw development deal with us 🐯

But but but Galvin is the best player in the history of the game

Absolutely, he's a low cost recruit who could end up being a top level player.

I've always been a massive fan of Hassett. He has the potential of being Liam Martin 2.0, even has the same body and play style. Played NSW u19s and just needs a chance in first grade.

Hassett, Taylan May, Tyrone May and a top level lock would really elevate this squad.

He said that prior to last season, before he won player of the year at second row. Can't take too much from that. Samuela knows hes better suited at second row and have heard that he speaks to Haumole regularly about how he cant improve at second row.

Please, can the forum stop moving our best players from their best positions!

Yeah you’re probably right.

Still reckon we need a top tier lock to complete our middle rotation. Twal and Sione as the two props on the bench. Seyfarth and Hunt as 18/19 man etc.
