Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
There was a run y'day by AD through the middle where he looked like Yeo getting that post contact.
AD is big now but not a huge amount of muscle, add 5kgs over the off season and he could be our temu Yeo.
No locks really off contract, if AD was keen for it I'd happily resign him tomorrow as a lock.

agreed. a few years would be really ideal but I'm not sure he'll be willing to spend what should be his best years at 13 when he views himself as a half.
we just need someone to bridge the gap to 2028 when Havea should be ready.

they clearly targeted him at the start defensively with their big pack but i thought he held his own for the most part especially never playing there before.

We've had to lean on him a lot these past few years and he's done a great job as a mr fixit. I have mixed feelings. He's definitely a handy player to have around, but as a lock, I think he works for us as a starter. If he wants to play halves or centre, then no.

Nobody - if he want to be a Panther he will be in ressies as a fill in.
One of Schindler, Cole, Laurie, Somerton.

One thing is for sure, Richo will not be held to ransom by Moses or Doeuihi.
Richo will have a value for AD based on years of evidence, seeing his fit within the culture and what we need moving forward.
Moses will know AD has been one of our better players this past 3 weeks & we need a ball-playing lock with not much else out there and he's a goal kicker which we lack.
Personally I'd want to see another 4 weeks of AD in the lock role before submitting another offer to him. I've seen him drop his head & reduce his effort too many times over the past 4 seasons to make him a 'must extend'.

All the guys you've mentioned are reserves. Maybe he jags a 14 spot.
They have all played 14 rotated throughout the year.
Doueihi is putting a decent case forward to be the most sought after utility in the game. His value is reaching north of 400k in my opinion.

You could be right @Needaname I just want to give it another month before settling on a value. If he continues to show he can be an effective lock for us, I will agree.
If not, I hope Richo is talking to the Dolphins about their plethora of middles (with ENG international Morgan Knowles coming in as well next season) ... would love to take @Demps Kurt Donoghoe or Max Plath off their books for a starting #13 role here.

So basically a fill in reserves player? Why would he leave a starting spot amd the money that comes with it to get less game time and less money. What are you trying to argue here?
