Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Crossland playing #13 for the Knights against the Phins at the moment. Watching closely lol
How is Brailey their #9 playing?
Might influence the whole TDS situation.

I really hope it eventuates as a loan deal for the rest of this season and KPP comes early... We might actually have a chance of scraping into the 8 with Latu at 7, pushing Luai wide and having KPP and Samuela on the edges... It had 2005/2010/2011 vibes last night..
 
I'm OK if AD pursues other options. He doesn't look that interested, has a turning circle like the Titanic. Without his goal kicking he doesn't offer too much.
Two things ... signing with Isaac Moses if kind of disrespectful to Benji after what has transpired. Think this means AD's days are numbered at the WT after this season otherwise he wouldn't sorry about getting an agent. Think he wants to go to the Perth Bears.
 
To the first part, yes, thats why I said that.
I have no problem pinching juniors from other clubs but if thats the route we want to go down then we need to stop BSing that we are a development club.
As for Latu being better than Galvin as a half...lol I said this to you and many others a hell of a lot last year to a chorus of backlash everytime. Ironic that you are now telling me this, but whatever...yes it is correct.
To be fair mate I never said Galvin was better than Latu.

I just had no issues with Benji making the call to build the team around Galvin at the time, because he was the life blood we needed..

That's where we differed on opinion.. not that I said Galvin was better.

Did AD sign with Moses? When did this happen?
 
daily Tele reported it today
my guess he got the tap and needs a deal somewhere
Adam Doueihi
Solomona Fataape
Brent Naden
Charlie Staines
Brandon Tumeth
Justin Matamua
Josh Feledy

.... all of contract.
Can see all being showed the door.

Richo may push for us to keep Fataape on a cup contract and I can also see Staines possibly being retained, if the money is right.

But the rest, they've had their chances.
Not good enough.

Id keep Staines for the right money, the rest can go.

I’d also look at moving Twal on if he can find another club and look for:
A high impact prop
A lock who defends well and passes the ball
A young depth second rower

If we ended up with something like Bunty Afoa, Adam Elliott and Hassett it should fill some of our gaps.

I think we need at least 6 new recruits.

Id be promoting Izaac Tu'itupou & Krystian Mapapalangi as backs depth. Not a big fan of Will Craig but it looks like he may have also moved into top 30 also.
 
If Doueihi out I'd be targeting Gagai... Upgrade on all areas including goal kicking.

Both him & Taylan May can both play centre & wing.

Skelton could be the depth option.

Looking at NSW Cup the 2 I would re-sign are Staines & upgrade Izzac T.

We have L Luailli as depth as well.

Feledy no.

Faataape maybe NSW Cup but he'll probably wanna go back to Q Cup.

Naden... Interesting one. Also versatile but not NRL standard. Could be a bottom dollar deal for a year as the boys love him.

I think it comes down to spots. It may have to be a choice between Izaac and Staines.

Mapapalangi looks worth keeping but hopefully he can stay on a NSW Cup contract.

Yeah I hope the Will Craig stuff is not with us on a top 30 contract. Reminds me of Corey Thompson but with less speed.
 
I think that's such a poor move, knowing the issues in the background.

Won't be in the plans for 2026 I'm guessing.
