Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Canadian Club]

Hope Averillo isnt coming as a 6. Can we just play players where they regularly play instead of being too smart for ourselves and trying to reengineer the wheel. I totally get our halves are young but if we never put them in at 6 and 7 whats the point in a lower grade if we never use them. If we never use them how will we know of theyre upto it or if we need to bring other players in.

Tell that to every genius on the forum who wants to move Samuela into the middle despite the fact hes been the best backrower we've had since Gareth Ellis (not an exaggeration, we've had no good backrowers). The reason we, and everyone else rates him so highly is because of how well he's performed at BACKROW.

He may have played middle in juniors but thats because he was a much bigger body compared to his peers. Now that he's playing with other big bodies, his body shape, type and strength in his lower body makes him the absolute perfect athlete and body type to play on an edge. You wouldn't see Manly move Haumole into the middle or the Roosters move Cordner into the middle in his prime, but for some reason our fans want to make a positive into a negative. Then we wonder why players don't develop properly and excel at other clubs.

If you could name 5 players to be our dev players next year, who are they?

Internal or external, realistic.

With Brailey now signed how many spots do we have free for next year?

Definitely improves our depth. Get used to these sorts of signings this offseason I reckon.

St george able to purchase 6 NAME players for next season so far,
And there not finished yet.

And all are thinking they will definately be in the top portion of the comp.

We have purchased Averilo 1 name, and a few no names from COLES and are being tipped to be in the bottom 4.
NOTHINGS CHANGED.

From what I’ve heard brailey is an outstanding trainer, someone who has high standards, will be a good depth signing and good off the field

If they’re going to change this they should just change it to the try scoring team kicking off. Should be black and white not an optional thing.

Might do something to slow the momentum shifts down which is where WT usually implode.

Why dont they fix the play the ball area, player playing the ball gets up really quick takes 1 or 2 steps to the right or left, nobody gets penalised for it.
Its called moving of the mark.

Then there's the markers, two all the time standing almost alongside eachother and you find once or twice in a full round the referee may call out marker not straight.

ITS A BLOODY JOKE.
that they bring in changes almost every season, why dont they just have the referees enforce the rules that already exist.

I believe these guys have 5/6 dev spots …

Tavana
Taupau-Moors
Attard
Godinet
Havea Jr

With the last remaining, I’d try to get Suli Pole or give to Mikey Nassar.

100%.

Royce Hunt likes to play first receiver when the lads play touch.

We should him at 5/8 and Douhei to prop.

Tito - You’ve done it again!
