Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think Makasini is a chance to be playing regularly next season …. And I normally hate pushing young players …he is a good talent … ( maybe not the best I have ever seen like Richo said yesterday )…

Anyway ..save the money for some forwards and a pass on Mariner from me

Agreed. The forward pack is the most pressing after we have signed May. Toa and may will do a job in the centres.

Pole and May starting I'm good with and I like s Fainu off the bench. Still think we need another lock/prop type. Kolaomatangi comes off contract this year doesn't he? He's been playing in the middle lately. Perfect lock.

yeah
- Buzz said he was getting released back to the Knights immediately after the game
on 360 weeks ago I reckon - Used a word like Un-Precedented or some such.
(In relation to the way it was done)

Also heard in the game commentary,
He packed his house up - Dropped his gear at KPP's joint before the game and then did the Game with the Roosters and recovery today with the Knights.
Odd way to do it, But the Roosters certainly don't care and the Knights need some sort of win -
I'd assume this is how they're selling it.

Odd the 2 biggest Roosters NRL imports in recent times - Both fell Flat.
Going off those kids they've been running out, I think they're all over it anyway....
That young back rower on the Weekend looked like he was shot out of a cannon.

The reason why it was delayed is cos the Roosters wanted to wait till they had played the Knights. Which is odd considering they clearly see him as a liability, why not just play against him and target him? How do you play a game knowing you will be in the opposition’s colours the next day. Idk how you are supposed to give it your all. He didn’t tank it though.

Manly shopping Aaron Schoupp.
I think he’d be worth a look for the rest of this season as a back up centre/back row option.
He has a fair bit of NRL experience when he was at the Bulldogs a few years back, he’s a strong ball runner who regularly makes his 150 plus metres per game and not afraid to do the hard hit ups out of his own end.

Isn't he a centre? We just signed Taylan May didn't we?

probably learned from us releasing players and then they have career defining games against us hahaha

I agree. Difference with Reynolds is the team culture factor & relationship with Richo & Benji.

I've dangled out there Jonah Pezet now a couple of times with no bites from the forum. I think he could be quite gettable if the mail is correct that Jahrome Hughes will extend.

He would leave Melbourne because his path is blocked. Why would he come to us to play reserve grade?

Only a 4 Point win
- Having an insider against them might not have got the result?

Having Dom Young on the wing for the Knights though
- Roosters might have put 50 on them?

Nah,... Look Dom Young ain't perfect, but he can cross the line.
He has really dipped in performance in 2025, was awesome in 2023. It happens.

We need to build our wingers Turuva and Skelton.... Above all keep people in the same positions so that they can get GOOD in those positions. No more flip flopping.

I expect the roosters to be a little burned after origin. They got together at the start of the year running on fumes. Really getting the same vibe now.

Roosters got done dirty with the draw, playing all major byes before Origin. The draw this year is a mess. Teams have byes, then 2 or 3 weeks later have another. Will be nice when the Bears come in in 27 and we have an even amount teams again. Till PNG.

It's common knowledge that Richo and Reynolds are close, his son manages his 3rd party deals for goodness sakes. So my take on all this, especially after reading Reynolds effusive commentary on how awesome it would be to play for wests tigers, and how great Benji and the team are, however I could not leave my wife and kids for 2 years. Well it really smells like a bit of a setup to get the Broncos to commit to Reyno at a higher contract value asap. We know Richo has come out and stated bluntly that any player contract discussion made public will be cancelled, and in this case, it was Richo making it public, shows to me this is all some Machiavellian move by Richo and co to help out a mate/family client and shake the tree at the Broncs to see who falls out for 26 ( Cobbo/Staggs/Willeson/Haas etc..)

I'm holding onto my grandstand ticket memberships so when the new stadium is built I get fresh pick at new seats...
I am assuming previous members will get first choice.. lol.

likely go on tenure of membership, e.g. if you have been a season ticket holder for 25 years and have a grandstand ticket you will get first pick and it will go back from there

The draw is a mess . Commentators fapping over the bulldogs who have had the softest draw . Only played 4 top 8 sides so far & were flogged by 2 of them .
Play the Storm once only in round 25 .
