Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I’m not quite as enamoured in his ball play …certainly didn’t show much here this season …did he ever put Bula through a gap ? Also played very sideways … I would suggest his best attributes was his support play … a bit Terry Lamb like but again without his pace …

He is raw. will learn the nuances of playing short and straightening the attack. He reads numbers and throws a very nice pass. I think it’s the vision that Gus sees in him.

I just noticed Bud was out there … I guess that means he is not doing anything wrong right ?

Hey … Bud managed to get his body in front of him

I suspect it won’t be the last tackle he has to make. Lucky he got bowled over by Xerri shortly after.

I have no doubt Latu Fainu is ready to be an elite NRL 13, probably not for 80mins each week just yet, but if we are looking to get a quality 40-50mins out of him each week as a 13, I’m very confident he can deliver.
The issue for me is if Latu himself wants an opportunity in the halves as if this is the case it could cause him to be dissatisfied which we don’t want.

If and only if Latu is our 13 moving forward, a big watch on Jahrome Hughes extending at the Storm very soon.

That will mean Jonah Pezet can activate a get-out clause in his Storm contract.

✔️ Right-sided game managing half
✔️ Goal kicker
✔️ Managed by Braith who seems in our favour now
✔️ Link with Richo via playing in Brisbane Tigers premiership in ‘23 ironically with Faataape, Hope & Charlie Murray.

He’s not improving enough to prompt anyone to buy out his 500k contract from us.
Let’s hope he seeks a UK Super League contract as a club over there might pay 300-350k for him to lessen our burden.

Bailey Hayward is playing 13 very similar to how Latu played 13 against the Panthers.

I still think 6 is Latu’s spot but having a lock like that makes a huge difference to teams attack.

Probably easier these days to find a 7 than it is a 13.

Seen a movie once where a guy received transplanted hands but at same time they came with the donor's personality.

After needing all the will power to stop his hands from choking people he found out that the previous owner was a murderer then he chopped them off and was back to where he started.

Some horror movies can be dark hey.

Have you ever seen Edward Penishands? Poor bugger.

He still has to agree to go there though …. Someone said yesterday that he got homesick moving from Wollongong to Sydney

I’m sure when Alex Johnson breaks the try scoring record they will make a compilation of all his tries …. I would say a big percentage from kicks and the longest he would have ran to score one would be 20m ..( maybe excluding s couple of intercepts …)

Luckiest career if all time

Galvin's an elite talent who will likely be better than Sexton, but even then, it could turn out to be a mistake.

Could ask the same question why the Raiders are letting Fogarty go..

Because Manly are paying him 1.5 million.

No but what about the poor dudes with penis fingers, so clumsy they F everything they touch.

How do people rate Canterbury winger blake Wilson

I like him

Bud getting no support from Aitken either. Absolute speed bump of a second rower

The best solution to our problems at lock would to be to recruit an actual ball playing lock and not turn one of the most talented ball playing halves the tigers have had in a long time into a forward weakening two positions, it makes no sense.

For those that bleet on about Latu's injuries have look at Metcalf at the warriors or Blore at the storm ..... Sometimes players just have a run of injuries and that is all it is full stop.

Not like we are overflowing with talent in or top 30 or have a line up of it at Concord, yet so many on here want to throw away the good players we have or change the position they are strong in for no good reason ..... I mean while we are at it why don't we turn Bulla Into a prop and then recruit Walsh to play fullback....

why is Richo pursuing another half is the question.

You would have to ask Richo

 

[Tom Shines]

You would have to ask Richo

I think he must want to turn Latu into a 13 or 14
