Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lestronge]

With Staines leaving, I think we should let Naden go as well and go after at least 1 of these three
Tyrell Sloan _ Free to leave
Bailey Simon's _ Free to leave
Paul Alomotti _ Appeats out of favour at the Panthers.

The Tautua brothers , especially max are killing flegg . Both centres . I think we should give Thompson another year , and see if some of these gin flegg backs like the Tautuas , Tavana , can make the jump . But Alomoti and Sloan would be good to chuck a year at , whilst they inevitably take up Bears contracts in 27.

Is Stafford contracted to us in 26
If no I would jump on alomotti or Simonson

He is here for 26

He would definitely raise our female participation with his boyish good looks

That was good 😉

Biggest draw back to that signing is that he would be a toothless tiger.

But still bite harder than what we've got!!

It seems the depth outside back we after will need to be at a lesser value than what Naden wants (going by what his manager revealed this week). So I reckon that rules out an Alamoti or Sloan or Simonsson.

Personally I would love for us to develop or recruit someone who possesses an aerial threat. Look at what that does for the Storm (Coates) & Roosters (Tupou, Marky Mark).

The proviso is that they have a bit more in their kit bag than just being an aerial threat otherwise Alex Lobb would be an obvious one.

Tino Tavana possesses this along with decent speed, step & the ability to produce the mercurial, so for me, he is a MUST to retain on a T&T.

Makasini has the potential to be an aerial threat if brought in via the left wing & Mapapalangi is good in the air attacking bombs too but hasn't played wing for a while.

Any others at other clubs? Maybe we could lure Navren Willett back from Manly?

Willet is a funny one . We were bagged from pillar to post about losing him at the start of this season … now the season is going its crickets…. Almost like much like Lobb , both are having issues with the physicality of elite football .

And they've just signed Blake Wilson, who is likely ahead of Nav on the depth chart.

we were coming of 3 spoons and Willet scored a hattrick in a trial for manly , havent seen nor heard of him since

and Jake Turpin 🤮 Moses client so not shocking
Manly’s recruitment & pathways has been horrendous lately

Did Munster flip the old forks to the crowd after that last try 🤔 before blowing a kiss? Which is essentially the same as what the tigers did . BUT not a word said...
Dunno I could be wrong

You are correct, as soon as it happened I said to my bulldog partner is what he just do any different to what our players did to your supporters last week,
Her reply was who gives a shit.
And that's about it,
Tigers cop it from every angle, other teams are never called out over any small indiscretions like we are.

Yes Alomotti. No way the other two. Is Averillo coming off contract, I think he's very handy

Tigers only copped it because the bullpups complained to the NRL to distract everyone from discussing their loss to the tigers..

He is here for 26

Staford atoa is actually quite young.

 

[crazycat]

They say he is a superior trainer .
We see he is a very competitive player .
He still plays at nrl level very easy
I would take him on a 1 year deal then coaching in our lower grades , he would Instill all of the above into our junior players , make them tough competitive lads and bring some outside info with him , I feel we have to many ex players as coaches , this guy comes with no attachments but is as solid as you can get

Got to assume your talking Cam McInnes..

Look he would be a good physical trainer. We could use him at lock.
We shouldn't pay stupid money for him.

moving to coaching, would definately help entice someone. Particularly as Craig F would be pretty safe at the sharks.

The downside is:
Headknocks... is he burned out?

That said, he can show our guys that we can take that punishment and I reckon he would really help us get into the wressling... which we need to do.
I don't see any connection, unless Benji played with him when he was at the Dragqueens?

Truth is if the Sharks punt Cam, it's because they want Fifita or Tino. I think we really need a culture player like Cam over a work in progress like Fifita.
