Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He's no Shibu Saki. Best centres can tackle and hurt you at the same time. But who is complaining. But he ain't coming Jake. I have a family friend too.

The 2025 version of Shibasaki yes, but he has not backed that up this season.
He is also a specialist left centre where we hope to have Taylan May fit and playing with Makasini as his back up.
In any case our team lacks speed, so someone like Averillo would help rectify this.

Let’s hope so he would be a great signing in my opinion.
The good news is we no longer need to sign superstars to improve us enough to become a genuine top 4 team. We simply needs 3-4 competent NRL players to cover positions we are currently lacking.

Something like this team seems very achievable for 2027 and I think would no doubt be a top 4 team;

1. Bula
2. Turuva - Back up James Schiller
3. Averillo - Back up Max Feagai
4. Taylan May
5. Makasini - Back up Skelton or Sione Finau
6. Luai
7. Doueihi - Back up Jock Madden
8. Terrell May
9. Korisau
10. Pole
11. KPP
12. Samuela Fainu
13. Twal

14. Latu Fainu
15. Luciano Leilua or Kai O’Donnell (As suggested by one of our podcast crew Sam McIntyre would be even better. But I think he would cost more and he seems happy at the Cowboys)
16. Sione Fainu
17, Oregon Kaufusi (He seems on the outter at the Sharks and would be a good upgrade to our top 17 who would genuinely challenge for Pole’s starting position)

So the squad is both genuine Top 4 and missing the 8?

If there aren’t 4 better squads in this comp..I’ll walk from Sydney to Newcastle ,,.

We do not have a top 8 squad on 2026 unless we are 💯 injury free which we are not.
That should tell you that strengthening up in a few positions including our depth is vital if we are to improve enough tj become serious contenders in 2027.

💯 agree…

It’s great to hear how much Alex loves the club but his defense is poor…Kiraz and Tuala tries were result of Alex misses.

He falls under depth player with Skelton.The guy you bring in when injuries hit. Blore would be an astute purchase for our bench and Alex drops back to help develop KOE cup players with Murray,Skelton etc.

He wasn't alone in missing Kiraz and for that miss he made it up with a dominant tackle on Sitili at the dying stages which likely results in a try. If his value out weighs his output and you can replace him with someone of lesser value fair enough but from my position he his depth that is much needed and his commitment to the club is good thing.

He also missed a big tackle in the dying moments.

Warner Wolf.... let's go to the video tape...
 
Averillo , would he be
A good signing for us .?
Is it possible he comes before June 30 ?
Would he be in our first grade team over Herbert & Toa .?
May / Averillo or May / Macca centre pairing ?
Can he play wing and Fullback ?
How much coin do we think it would cost for him $ ?
