Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think he’ll add size but stay in the halves. His ball play is his biggest strength and when he adds some bulk he’ll beat people one on one with power. Trent Barrett type player.

I’m not quite as enamoured in his ball play …certainly didn’t show much here this season …did he ever put Bula through a gap ? Also played very sideways … I would suggest his best attributes was his support play … a bit Terry Lamb like but again without his pace …

I have no doubt Latu Fainu is ready to be an elite NRL 13, probably not for 80mins each week just yet, but if we are looking to get a quality 40-50mins out of him each week as a 13, I’m very confident he can deliver.
The issue for me is if Latu himself wants an opportunity in the halves as if this is the case it could cause him to be dissatisfied which we don’t want.

he will have an opportunity here the rest of this season at 7…. Let’s make a call then

He is raw. will learn the nuances of playing short and straightening the attack. He reads numbers and throws a very nice pass. I think it’s the vision that Gus sees in him.

If and only if Latu is our 13 moving forward, a big watch on Jahrome Hughes extending at the Storm very soon.

That will mean Jonah Pezet can activate a get-out clause in his Storm contract.

✔️ Right-sided game managing half
✔️ Goal kicker
✔️ Managed by Braith who seems in our favour now
✔️ Link with Richo via playing in Brisbane Tigers premiership in ‘23 ironically with Faataape, Hope & Charlie Murray.

I just noticed Bud was out there … I guess that means he is not doing anything wrong right ?

He’s not improving enough to prompt anyone to buy out his 500k contract from us.
Let’s hope he seeks a UK Super League contract as a club over there might pay 300-350k for him to lessen our burden.

Seen a movie once where a guy received transplanted hands but at same time they came with the donor's personality.

After needing all the will power to stop his hands from choking people he found out that the previous owner was a murderer then he chopped them off and was back to where he started.

Some horror movies can be dark hey.

Have you ever seen Edward Penishands? Poor bugger.

He still has to agree to go there though …. Someone said yesterday that he got homesick moving from Wollongong to Sydney
 
I’m sure when Alex Johnson breaks the try scoring record they will make a compilation of all his tries …. I would say a big percentage from kicks and the longest he would have ran to score one would be 20m ..( maybe excluding s couple of intercepts …)
