Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

That's called piss poor recruitment. Everyone in your top 30 should bring a minimum amount of value.

We're effectively playing with a top 20 after several years or shocking recruitment under Benji.

Cant agree mate. You legit should be playing with 1 or two at most 3 of those guys not 5-7. You can look after the deficencies of a couple.
Calling our recruitment bad is next level imo. our top 20 showed they could swing with the big boys, and we now know which ones are struggling under that. Every team that's had our number of key injuries is struggling. Hell, even the storm is struggling, and they have really only had solid first graders injured not their key 5.
 
Even when all our players are fit, we still have a glaring need for a gun right centre.

I'd love May and Makasini to lock down the left. But who is good enough to partner Turuva on the right? Toa and Herbert backups at best. That should be a priority signing, preferably for the rest of the year, but that is highly unlikely so will have to makeshift until then.

We could play Maka (LC) and Luke (LW), with May on the right with Turuva like in our first game... but i think May and Makasini could be dominant together on the left and would want to build on that pairing. Plus Luke is leaving.

We need a miracle to drop into our laps like what happened with Taylan. But what's out there that fits the need? Xerri prefers the left. Ramien? An international player? OR shifting someone like Latu or Doueihi there. Don't love that.

Surely we are looking at a mid-year transfer now with news May could be out for season. We need a centre so badly.

We have needed a centre from the start of the season and even more so now. I would prefer a tall rangy type who can cover for our short wingers if needed in the air when we are up against the teams with big wingers taking attacking kicks over the top of our guys.

He would never come to us, but Herbie F would transform our backline. Mate I’d throw the kitchen sink at him if there was even half a chance.
Taylan and Maka on one side. Herbie and Turuva on the other with Bula at the back. AD and Luai in the halves. Latu at 14.

How good!!

Is Herb even off contract?
I don’t think he’s going to “transform” our back line, not enough to throw the sink at him. You’ve still got AD and Luai in that backline you’re gunna need that kitchen sink to clean up the mess those two make inside the 20.
