Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He’s not worth 200k as a 13, but he’s definitely worth 500k as a 7 or 6.
You say he is not getting the 7 spot here, well why did he get it last weekend if Benji doesn’t see him as a 7 who can help win us games ?
Why did we chase Adam Reynolds if we are so confident Latu is a must selection for us at 7 ?
Why does our team look so much better when Doueihi is playing 7 ?
Why does Luai look so much more comfortable and more composed when Doueihi is playing 7 ?
If we are serious about trying to make the top 8 in 2026 we should be paying Douehi the 500k he is asking for and letting both he and Latu battle it out for our starting 7 position with whoever loses out being our permanent number 14.

Gee there were a lot people saying he should never play in the halves again after that Parramatta game, now all of a sudden everyone wants him as a half back, maybe he can be, but one thing that we do know for sure is that he inconsistent.

Let's see how he goes in our last 4 games before we even think about committing to pay him half back money.

I think after looking after him through his injuries, some of it while he was on pretty good dollars, I think he owes it to us to see out the regular season before making a decision about signing anywhere.

You know what's funny, for the last roughly 18 months when Galvin debuted non stop every opportunity gus would not stop talking on TV or podcasts about Galvin the best junior ever, his going to do this, that and whatever, but now gus has him at the dogs gus won't say a word, on 100 % footy chamas asked the question about a injury, didn't look like gus was going to answer, Emma asked did he get injured during the game, gus said, well he didn't get injured carrying his bag to the game. What a rude, smart ass prick

Who Gus or Galvin?

I would think both. 🤣

Finally got some crumbs re. Doueihi's contract talks. So Dragon's offer is still at $400k for 2 seasons (not $500k as some reported). Our Offer is now at $350k for 2 seasons. If Doueihi extends with us, then he doesn't have to pay Moses commission. If he goes with Dragons then he pays Moses 8% commission, which is $32k, ostensibly making his salary $368k per year at the Dragons. For the sake of $18k, I think he stays. Probably could get a third party to cover that anyway as a local junior... My only concern is if he gets offended by Richo refusing to budge on the price.

It would be worth giving him the extra $18k if we definitely knew Moses was getting nothing. 🤣

I agree they made a lot of errors.
The funny thing is that you’ll see good teams winning because the other teams make more errors all the time and it’s attributed to them forcing those errors.
Not when we win though.

Those conditions were pretty atrocious. You can’t use that game to judge much at all - obviously the game meant a fair bit to a playing group that’s had some rough luck and circumstances this year. Hope they can stay up for a few more weeks.

The one year contract is probably a mutual thing. With Perth needing to fill a roster it gives Geyer a chance to maybe showcase his talents and get something bigger than a minimum contract. Didn’t Geyer senior play for the Western Reds??

Yes he did and has often spoken about how much he enjoyed the involvement he had with the club at that time.

Both are big, tall, strong and fast, everything you generally want in an edge back rower.
The issue is neither of them use their size and speed to advantage.
If we have the coaching staff to change their mindset and get them playing with good energy and aggression we will have very good players on our hands, but the fact that their current clubs were not able to get it out of them is a concern.
It obviously means we are not looking at established versatile edge back rowers such as Siosifa Talakai or Simi Sasagi, so we are relying on these lower cost project players to play to their maximum potential and challenge for a position in our NRL 17.
Roberts absolutely destroyed our Flegg team about 5-6 weeks ago, so he’s got plenty of talent, but he doesn’t always seem to get out of 1st gear.
