Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That's the real question.

I looked back at the table. We need min 14 wins to make the 8. Ideally 16 wins or 32 points on the ladder.

Thats a 60% win percentage.
2025 we got a 38% win percentage.

I am hopeful of 12 wins anymore is a big bonus

Luai is the key we are 1 prop short of a good pack I am hopeful of the two young forwards being able to play 8 games between them

The backs are fine so happy we pick up the wonder boy from Penrith to fill in at 1

Javon Andrews will end the year in 7 he is a super star Latu will be 13

Spoke to a friend again about Andrews he said he's very special future origin half
 
Manase brother don't get mixed up with the wrong crowd when you get out, come back to the NRL and play with your bros, do you want to be remembered as a footy player or the bloke who stabbed someone.

Manase highlights this Fainu is another gun when he ducked under a tackler it reminded me of Api lol

Look how direct he plays. Exactly what we need.

The article I read was he could be out in October 2026 and he will be 29 at the start of season 27, that's a long time out of the game how do you know for sure he's still got it.

29 but his body would be a 26 year old, idk mate I think he would kill it,, look at the impact Liddle has at dragons, Latu and Manase would be dynamite alright

How do you reckon the diet is, eating that goup over elite athlete food Stevo?
I can't believe this dribble keeps coming up - Like it's a half done thing, or even worth visiting.

Last I read, He's not 'eligible' for parole until the end of next season (Eligible, doesn't mean he'll get it)
At which point, He'll be 28 and it will have been 7 Full seasons since he played NRL.

Hard to fathom how some people are comparing players with 4 year Drug bans and living
an all but free life to being locked in a concrete box for the most part of the day.
He showed promise back in the day, But it's not like he was an Elite Hooker
- Or even first picked in his side.

Even if he does get out late next year, It will be a long road back for him (in everyday life)
Football won't be at the beginning of that.
I would think an early release would be into a Transitional Program of sorts, with
Parole Officers / Supervision - Not catapulted straight back in to Professional Sport.

Mate finally, someone with some common sense you summed it up perfectly.

As for eating the fishing weed I know it's important to eat your greens, but it would be a struggle maybe some sugar could make it more palatable if I turn out to be wrong.

Were you surprised Taylan got back into the swing of things so quickly? If his body has been kept in good knick I don't see why he can't. GSP came back against Michael Bisping after like a 4 year hiatus and won.

So, your proposed bench for 27 if he was able to prove he still has some talent would include Manase and Seyfarth.

I wonder how many years he signed for, I like Bula but I actually hope its not a crazy long deal and I hope its under 800k a year..... Bula has potential but had a very mixed bag in the internationals and he isnt mr consistent liek A dylan Edwards, for me he is abit like Lateral, on his day his one of the best in the game but he doesnt do it week in week out, to be fair he hasnt was much behind him, but 2026 we have a slightly better squad especially on the edges so I believe he really needs to nail 2026.
