Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Surely there is something left to offer a top line player or two. St George just bought 7 of them, how is that even possible? I don’t know how strong his connections with the club are, but Kade7 recently posted that we had $$$ to spend so let’s wise up and spend it on bringing some real leaders into the team!

Souths have so many quality players; and still bought Haas.

I can see what you are saying mate. There is a lot to weigh up here.

Positives:
Doueihi brings game breaking ability. He brings more experience than the other options.

Negatives
His style of play is very selfish.
His style hinders the players around him' stifling their ability to show their best.
Are we allowing poor standards by keeping him?
Is the team off him a little and moral will be better with him gone?

I think its obvious where I sit with this one lol

Adam D burnt his bridges at West Tigers if he wants out than so be it. He is a utility player but he is not a halfback.

It’s a no from me

i don’t know how PVL has got to where he is. He isn’t impressive. He looks like the penguin. And on your comment that he is fully allocated to NRL, thats technically correct, however, that’s horseshit. Everyone in racing knows he is still there in the background and has his puppets in place. And he’s taken long service all whilst Ernst and Young have been appointed as administrator by RNSW over the ATC.

The ego of the guy. Have you ever seen the chairman of the ARLC in a Maccas commercial before him? No! Abdo - smart move going to Tennis.

That's your mistake, worrying about what he looks like.

PVL got to where he is because he's shrewd as hell and people keep judging him how he looks. Look up his history - he's entrenched as a successful sports administrator, even if you think his tactics are questionable.

Andruws to have a big offseason with Peter Moussa in the gym , the dietician , and the wrestling coach .
He will go past AD . I’m not saying he will be there round 1 , as I genuinely think AD if he’s still here will get first crack , but eventually AD will be in the 14 or left right out .

Did he end up doing his ACL?

his tenure at the trots was pretty ordinary

check out the 1997 documentary The Track all about PVL and the trots

His efforts around equine influenza with racing nsw and nrl covid was good however. He really took racingnsw to Victorian spring carnival and done well with that

Yeah, I saw that.
Hes actually quite tall in person too.

I could see him becoming a good player at the broncos. Has the physical attributes to become a great outside back.

Surprised to see all the negativity around Seb Kris - he walks into our backline imo, on the wing, pushing Tupou out. He's a good player.

He is a good player plays center wing and fullback he would be a good buy

To allow him to move on if hes 2nd string?

Depends on the situation. If Ethan is ok 600k a year (i have no clue what he is on), and Ricky is super confident Black will be the 7, then it seems poor roster management to keep your back up half occupying that sort of cap space. That being said Black would be on much, so I guess it all evens out.
 
I know this wouldn’t happen but I would play AD at 14. Let Twal start as 13 and then move him into the prop rotation after 20 minutes and bring AD on as an attacking 13 and constrain his defensive loads.

I think being closer to the ruck 13, is either pass early or run. He seems to not be able to set his outside man in shape and uses a cut out face ball. I do think he has the ability to offload in traffic and he seems very awkward to tackle which may present opportunities for Api or Bula as they trail through.

Black is signed with Canberra until end of 2028
if he likes the idea of living in a compound he could make some serious cash for 2029

Do you guys realise that all season black has been playing nsw cup in a side about equal with our reserve grade side but our 19 year old half has double the line breaks , try assists and line Break assists of ever other half in the comp including black? Black is a class act, but so is his halves partner from 19s origin last year, our own Javon Andrews..Javon has all the attacking qualities needed to be a superstar half,, he does need work on his tackling technique but remember he had a career threatening spinal injury 2 years ago and seems just a little tentative to ‘ dive “ into a tackle.. but deadset he is as good as any young half around.. if he played. Flegg today we win by 20 imo
