Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hsvjones]

AD taking on Moses as agent is 100% in my eyes a sign he has been advised he won't be resigned.

An agent like him will have contacts to get him a decent deal.

KPP catching a cold out on the edge

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.

The tigers jersey wouldn't look good on Gagai

Sounds logical

Good don't want him injured before he plays for us next week

 

[Suzie-Q]

was he even actually there on the bench ? they panned to the bench and I didn’t see him lol

He was running up and down the sideline all game.

 

[upthetigers]

Also assume AD going to the Eels to wear the 6 jersey given the Moses connection

Not the worst outcome handy for goalkicking but too slow for centre his size used to make him an attacking threat but he doesn't offer much anymore.

 

[tigahhh]

what do you think we will need to go in the market for with all those guys off contract ?
decent middles ?

to’a needs to re-signed also ASAP

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

He was never going to be in 1st grade plans next year. Not with the way the squad is being assembled anyway. Sucks to lose him but I imagine he has greater aspirations than being a backup.

Yep, if ADZ felt the Tigers were going to re-sign him, he wouldn’t have gone anywhere near Moses…

I don’t get the knights.
The lines he runs if someone passed him a short ball he would be way upfield untouched.

I’m expecting Latu to find him a few times.

Yes we shouldn't help out the dogs.

Although if Kikau, Burton or a few other select players want to come our way... Sure.

Kinda surprised there was no swap at all. Ofcourse their may have been and Gould has just delayed the announcement.

Sounds to me like the dogs have cap issues

To’a deserves a multi year deal and uplift on his contract. I still worry about his body holding up but this season has been a breakout for him.

Give him early ball and things happen.
If KPP plays beside him he will only get more space as well.

yup , hence why they’re trying offload their sloppy seconds in sexton to get some more wiggle room . they think we’re some pitty club

Ideally we look to improve our depth as well as land some NRL ready forwards.

 

[Tom Shines]

Even Isaac might struggle a bit getting AD a new gig

 

[TheEnz]

Available options:

Sione Finau [ Winger - Dragons ]
Villiami Fifita [ Prop - Dragons ]
Jonah Glover [ Half - Dragons ]
Ativalu Lisati [ 2RF - Melb ]
Lazarus Valepu [ Prop - Melb ]


Some players id try and get but may prove difficulty but would strengthen our depth insanely:

Trey Mooney [ Prop / Lock - Raiders ]
Cassius Tia [ Half - Bulldogs]
Kayliss Fatialofa [ 2RF - NZ ]

Lazarus looks the goods...i would be looking at him.

With AD now with Moses I don’t think we’ll keep him, I don’t think we were gonna keep him regardless but I think this nails the final nail in the coffin. Not against bringing in Gagai as you said he’s a decent goal kicker and I think he will be a decent pickup. However, I wouldn’t drop Skelton to accomodate both May and Gagai. Skelton makes good meters out of yardage especially when we’re deep near our try line I wouldn’t drop him based off one bad performance. Agree on Staines he’s solid depth hope he stays, and can live with letting Naden and Faataape go.

 

[Tito Santana]

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.

Yep they’re all terrible. Staines included within that.

Junior Tupou is better than all of them. I’d be chucking him a contract for depth.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

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 Craig gets a top 30, Richo & Benji should both be asked to resign as nothing would have changed re recruitment from the previous regime.

He may one day make a top 30 in a few years but he is no where near that level currently.

Did you read AD is now with Moses and looks like going to Parramatta
