Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[ROZELLE.O.G]

I believe Hunt is on $425k per year.

Closer to $600k per year

 

[Tom Shines]

I know you are a Bula fan, but honest opinion do you believe he’s as good or a better fullback than AJ Brimson ?
I can’t help that think the Titans will be happy to offload AN Brimson as they just re-signed Kini to a long term contract, they are both out and out fullbacks, AJ struggles to find his best in any other position and it’s no good for their salary cap having 2 fullbacks both on big money contracts.

Why is Brimson some type of standard ? F him … I’d keep Bula over him

And some think Richo is above reproach

AJ is the better fullback but he’s locked up til like 2030 or something. I think once latu & luai get more runs together it should unlock Bula a little more. For some reason GC are going with the spine full of fullbacks it’s been done on purpose

500k too much.

I’ll put it to you this way, AJ has played for Queensland and his current form is no less than it was back then.
Bula qualifies to play for Queensland from his Keebra Park days, do you think he’s been in Billy Slater’s selection discussions and do you think he will ever be selected to play for Queensland ?

If Hunt doesn't pull the thumb out over the off season add another one to the shredder lineup.

 

[innsaneink]

Tell us what you really think.
I reckon the Castleford Tigers would love to sign them both.

They nearly beat wigan on the weekend but a terrible vid ref decision against them was extremely costly

Lower teams over there get shafted too

They will have to let one of Kini, Campbell or Brimson go for the good of their team and salary cap balance and I can see it being Brimson.
If it happens we will probably not be interested and he will end up somewhere like the Bulldogs and win a comp with them.

 

[tigahhh]

Well I’ll put it to you this way, AJ has played for Queensland and his current form is no less than when he played for Queensland.
Bula qualifies to play for Qld from his Keebra Park days, do you think he’s been in Billy Slater’s selection discussions and do you think he will ever be selected to play for Queensland ?

he’s said he doesn’t want to play for Queensland though

Brimson has triple the games under his belt, but which is the better fullback is up for debate. That tells me enough to bet on Bula.

Last 3 seasons Brimson hasn't topped 14 games.

I think I know who is better overall value..

 

[The Chad]

That said, if Brimson was ok playing centre- I'd take him.

 

[Canadian Club]

Zero tackle is a joke.

Zero tackle takes the amounts from news articles when players sign. Sometimes they’re right, sometimes they’re wrong. It depends how accurate the info is when players sign.

Bula wants to play for NSW … we know they are slippery with qualifying …

There is also zero chance Brinson is joining the WT to play FB in front of Bula

Plenty of duds have played Origin mate …Im also making a decision based on now … not years ago

 

[The Chad]

Just want to point out, it's been nearly 10 hours or so since I read that Jack Hetherington was available to go to Manly (potentially) & I haven't suggested signing him again yet....


Yet.....

 

[Fainu Brothers]

If Seyfarth is on 500k that is robbery. Add it to the Richo shocker list if true. It’s starting to mount up now.

 

[The Chad]

Who said Seyfarth was on $500k?

 

[Vicious]

he’s said he doesn’t want to play for Queensland though

He wouldn’t be getting selected anyway.

Heath Mason's suspension sees Sunia Turuva shift to fullback, with Charlie Staines set to make his return to the side on the wing.

Api Koroisau's concussion means Adam Doueihi will line up at five-eighth and Luke Laulilii is elevated to the starting team at centre.

Tristan Hope and Charlie Murray are both set to make their second NRL appearances, with Hope to start at hooker and Murray an inclusion on the interchange bench.

Alex Twal skippers the side in the absence of Jarome Luai and Api Koroisau.

That said, if Brimson was ok playing centre- I'd take him.

He can’t tackle when he plays in the centres, he makes Starford To’a defence look like Stephen Crichton or Kotoni Staggs.
