Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So if we identified we lack stroke, spent our cap money wisely and offered Herbie 1.1 million per season from 2027 onwards, you think we’d be no chance of landing him ?
Herbie is currently the best centre in the game by the way.

To isolate all problems with the team to To'a is incredibly short sighted.

It's clear for most.

Repace Seyfarth...check (KPP)
Add 2 more quality forwards. One to replace Twal and one to replace Bird...Let's wait and see.

Bird, Twal and Seyfarth give us our depth.

Twal does his job and holds his own at a much higher level than Starford IMO. He's bang ordinary and lacks in defence and goes missing far too often in attack

He's been playing fullback in attack the last few weeks and he's also been clearly injured.

Not saying he's the best centre in the comp, but it's strange to pick him out as a root problem when him and Turuva on that edge have been dangerous.

Be nice if you pulled some stats to illustrate your point. He averages over 100m a game. 90% tackle efficiency. 9 tries. 7 try assists. 8 line breaks. 49 tackle breaks from 15 games.

His last 4 weeks running metres are well under his average which is where the perception might come from.

Josh Papalii
Felise Kaufusi

Also Farnworth, Nathan Cleary, Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs, Isaiah Yeo, Payne Haas, Liam Martin, Hudson Young and Harry Grant for the hooker bench spot to rotate with Api.

Kaufusi I can get on board with for sure.

I doubt he will relocate from Qld at 33, but he provides the ability to shift momentum more than most players off contract.

Yeah I agree with you there. It's always difficult getting QLD players to come to NSW in any volume.

Unless the Cowboys or Broncos pick him up, he may not have much choice though.

He'd do a job for a couple of years for us.
 
Toa could be upgraded no doubt. But our biggest weaknesses imo this year has been right backrow - KPP coming in. Left centre - May is a huge upgrade. And lock - Douiehi TBC. We also need more depth.

I think we have been very patient in the market - at time to my criticism as I think with more depth this year we could have easily had another win or two and still be in the running for the 8 - but what we’ve bought is clear upgrades in our biggest positions of weakness.

Lock to me is the big one remaining. Fingers crossed Douiehi can step up or we will need to sign somebody else of serious quality to have a decent chance at the 8 next year.

I also think a 14 in the mould of siliva havillii or Elijah Taylor who actually starts the first 20 would be a massive get for us too. Api can’t play 80 week in week our and I think somebody who sures up the defence in the first twenty is hugely important.
 
looking at our team list we need some forwards. So I think let’s just sign Payne Haas and Isaah Yeo, maybe even get Olakau’atu while we’re at it. Then OBVIOUSLY we need to replace To’a so I reckon we should just buy Stephen Crichton or Herbie Farnworth. Or maybe both so we have some depth.

Who knew running an NRL team was so easy, I reckon I should get a job at the Tigers straight away!!!! @Richo I’m ready and waiting!
