Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Doueihi is a genuine utility who is also a good athlete with size, power, pace and a good long kicking game. The latter is a asset we've never utilised to the fullest. He also has an uncatchable high kick. From memory he was a schoolboy international rugby player.

Not disagreeing with much of what you have just stated but I would like to see that uncatchable high kick, been a while since I've seen one unless he's snuck in a few when I wasn't watching.

Would love to see one or two of those at a minimum every game.

That would be OK; if we made a deal with AD. However, if the deal meant Wests Tigers could offer "unders" then it is a breach. There has to be complete separation of the the third party and the club. For example; we couldn't chat with Richo and say that if AD signs for X tell him that we'll top him up with a thrid party advertising deal worth 100K; but,, we could approach AD directly, or post contract signature, and offer him an 100K advertising deal as a means to increase our market exposure. While similar in nature it is the invovement of the club that differentiates what is and isn't included in the cap.

If you did a 3 year third party deal with Adam Doueihi and in the 3rd year he went to New Guinea you would technically still be obliged to pay him, it is supposedly strictly a deal between the 3rd party sponsor and the player, nothing related to a particular club and applicable regardless of which team he is playing for.

That's my understanding at least.

How would Latu go having to make 40+ tackles a game?

Don't know about how he would handle the increased volume, but his defensive technique is top notch.

WT are at last seeing the errors of the past. And what works for other teams.
But our KOE team forwards are all "nuggets"....to quote others.

Not all of them gold either. 🤣

Curious to see how much gets thrown at Bula from r360

Did I see something somewhere that they were offering Jai Gray $920k.

What about targeting keaon Koloamatangi? I believe he may be agent come Nov 1, not to sure but he would be great to partner with Terrell May

I see he has a liking for man bags just like Terrell, I'm sure they would get on like a house on fire.

A bit odd he didn't try it in the rain ey?

The ball is very steep and drifted before drifting was common place in the NRL. I first saw it when he played 7 in the Balmain SG Ball team against the Sharks at Shark Park. The Sharks I believe won the premiership but their fullback and wingers I don't believe caught a ball all match.

I would worry about the fatigue in the middle for 2 reasons - increased chances of injury and blunting his effectivenss in attack. Agree the actual tackling side of things he has zero problems.

Spot on - if the club is invoved it is not a TPA and it is part of his salary and in the cap.

I believe you can sponsor a player conditional of them being at a club. If you are a local business it would only make sense you want to sponsor a local player.
The only example I can really remember in the media is Parra BMW sponsoring Moses. It was reported when before re-signing with eels that if he were to leave he'd have lost his car.
I believe it is a breach (in this example) if Eels asked BMW to sponsor Moses.

They can be man bag bros

I don't think he should be making 40 plus tackles at his age with his injury past. Unfortunately he's kicking game is limited or I think he could become a dynamic half . Needs an off season with Cromk.
