Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BirchgroveTigers]

As others have said, I think it’s either AD or Tyrone - not both. We have four spots remaining without AD/Tyrone. If one of those four spots goes to them, I think we need another middle, another back and one spot left open for flexibility next year.

The back I think should be a decent utility depth signing - Mapapalingi potentially. The middle forward IMO needs to be high quality starter for us. Ideally a 13.

If Douiehi can turn himself into the 13 we need - too early to tell on that IMO - that gives us a bit more flexibility.

I also really think a hooker/lock hybrid to play the first 20 for Api - someone in the mould of Saliva Havilii - would be a very very useful addition. Tyrone May is probably better suited to that role than AD tbh but doesn’t quite bring the defensive impact that we’d ideally want for that role.

Is Andrews > Onitoni Large?

Based on what I saw of him in U19 origin this year. He won the game for the winning team. Large couldn't make the extended squad for the losing team

Is Andrews > Onitoni Large?

Large is 17, Andrew’s is 19

Won’t know until about 5 years haha

 

[HabboTiger]

Large will play union. We won’t know

Tyrone > AD

Same

Large was talked about 2 years ago so he was getting hyped up at 15. I don’t get how you can hype somebody up that young…

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Nothing nepotism about it. Tyrone would be a great addition adding value to squad, just like Tiny

As if you would give a stuff if his name wasn’t May

 

[HabboTiger]

That’s right but the may boys are among our best performers. Keen for more of those

 

[tigahhh]

large will play union

Whats happening with Sullivan

I love the two May boys but Tyrone's not a smart buy.
I watch every Super League game and for all the talk of his versatility he's basically a 7 or 6. We just signed 2 of those.
Also, the other 2 boys are in a different stratosphere to him, talent wise. He's very very Moses Mbye average.

is he a high priority for Souths to get their books in order ,.He could come back quick smart . Its the 1 major stain that Bunji has made . Not giving that kid due respect because he has/thought he had better.

 

[Lukic]

Love the Andrews signing. You can never have too much young talent.

Ok over to you Benji, Shannon & Richo ...

Parramatta have distanced themselves from luring Queensland State of Origin backrower Beau Fermor from the Titans.

Fermor’s future on the Gold Coast has been the subject of uncertainty in recent weeks with the 26-year-old believed to be frustrated at the club’s lack of on-field excellence.

There have been suggestions across the game that Fermor had requested a release from the final year of his Titans deal, or had at least asked for permission to talk with rival clubs before November 1, however Gold Coast management have denied that is the case to this masthead.

Isn't that a typical Parramatta or Canterbury ploy. Line up players illegally, get all the groundwork done then deny they have any interest.

or when the player rejects them they tell the media they’ve pulled out of the race so it looks like it was the clubs decision. classic gus

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Titans forum happy to lose Fermour, described as the captain of the paper thin defence committee

 

[Spidercam]

I think pending any further depatures, we currently have room for three more signings.

Not sure if they'll be internal upgrades or external incomings.

For mine, we need..
1 - A genuine starting lock forward.
2 - a backrower
3 - outside back depth

1. Think well land something, probably surprise a lot of people. Maybe AD will be re-signed? Have to wait and see.

2. I'd be looking at Kayliss Fatiafola from NZ or see what else is around

3. Internal upgrade. Krystian Mapapalangi or Izaac Tuituppou... I'd be keeping both , perhaps not top 30, but cup contracts at least.

Fermour would be nice, bit on mongrel
