Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

* Fantasy football talk *

I could see Bula becoming a serious strike centre.

Need Fonua to get Sua Faologo over the line, has that Papz clause in his contract.

That's the whack.

1. Sua Faalogo
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Starford Toa
4. Jahream Bula
5. Jeral Skelton

Depth;
Luke Lualilii [top 30]
Heamasi Makasini [top 30]
Izaac Tui'tupou [upgrade]
Krystian Mapapalangi [upgrade]
Charlie Staines [re-signed]

But they're not playing for him. They're signing because of him, then just going about their business. There is no passion on the field. No determination or spirit. Just people aimlessly wandering around

Unfortunately that's exactly how things seem
For these players that talk abt how they signed because of Benji they certainly aren't playing like it. They would know the criticism he's currently under and after 5 losses they showed no passion last weekend. I'm benjis biggest fan but unfortunately I am concerned that he just can't get the best out of the players . I agree we need a few more players but last weekend they looked like they have had little coaching that's a concern. Can we keep benji if we get another spoon. If so for how long. I don't believe anyone's job should be that secured

I’ve just read an article by Buzz about Willie Peters returning from the UK to possibly coach us. Old contact of Richo and been out of the NRL circus for a couple of years. I only remember him as a a journeyman at South’s. Any Suoer League experts who can give an opinion ?

Poor old Willie. Tugger Coleman gave him the kiss of death. Long before Brooksy was labelled the next Joey, Willie was anointed the next Peter Sterling.

Had Richo slipped with how much our offer to Api will be in the DT:

“The amount of money he was on – it was too much money to have as your back-up hooker in the cap. We would have had two hookers that would have cost us $1.35 million.“

So if TDS was going to be on $400K, congrats Api must be getting an increase next year to $950K (probably front loaded & decrease each season thereafter).

Doubt we would’ve kept him at $400k.
Especially given the offers he was getting, we wouldn't have kept TDS on less than 500-600k especially if agreed as 1st choice.

Do you think he’s worth that money, I don’t ?
I don’t think a 34y.o Api is worth that money either.

I remember the hype around Peters as a junior. Everyone had heard about him but he was nowhere near as good as James Webster who was the same age and at the Tigers. No idea why Willie had the hype he did and wasn't surprised at all he didnt make it.

Welcome Bud Sullivan back to the Wests Tigers then!

I know for a fact south's have been in talks with the club regarding keeping bud , and he is also happy to stay there but the signing of this new bloke probably means they couldn't reach an agreement financially. For the records Bud got no problem returning to the tigers as he has a really good relationship with Luai and a few of the boys. I think he will be back next year.

Isn’t Peters team leading the comp ? Didn’t think that was a problem Jase ever had to worry about as a head coach

That’s my point, it appears he and Burgess are the hot coaches over there at present. Burgess biding time until Bennett leaves, so Peters being courted. I was more interested in how he’s going now than when he played for South’s.
PS. Taylor is Ciraldos right hand man so maybe he’s changed from his Tiger days.

Taylor was always a good assistant coach, his issue was always the people management a head coach needs at nrl level.

I think we should keep Benji but if he goes and Richo is still here then Peter's will be the first choice
