Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

From what I have heard and this is not reliable information, big Sam wants to play in the middle. So maybe the club is trying to find away to make this possible

He said that back when we first moved him from prop to second row. Looks like his hope hasn’t changed. With how hard it is to get dominant props and a lot of second rows hitting the market it could be a good situation if we can get an elite one. Also maybe it’s part of resigning him, moving to prop.

You are completely ignoring what everyone is saying. No one wants to weaken the left edge. Its basically talk that if we got Nsemba, Nanai or Martin, then Sam would kill it in the middle. No one is saying play someone like Sukkar left edge and move Sam to the middle.

Yeah, I think you've got that right.

Just thought I better say that before Tucker calls you out. 🤣

What’s with the weird Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon comment middle of article ? Seems to be an auto add . When ever that word mentioned.

The Tigers also have a Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon card up their sleeve, handing one of the NRL’s best prospects Josh Schuster a train-and-trial lifeline last season.

Quite a few pushing Twal into the front - 102kg. Not exactly a dominate prop, attack or defence.
Sam - 109 kg and a possible equal to Twal, maybe better? Definitely more upside.
But unless Sam is replaced with a top shelf replacement [eg Liam Martin] he is stuck in the back row.

No I’m not - you might be…
I’ve read here I don’t know how many times, that Sam is a prop playing back row
- or he’d be better suited to move to prop. he’s not a prop, and might work there - but is not proven there…
My response with his stats was on response to that.

You all might be looking to pay the best part of a million dollars to find out - I’d rather buy a proven prop.

The back rowers you mentioned are all top tier, as is Sam. Will all cost more than 750k and May is already on that or better.
Lots of money thrown at hypotheticals.

I still think he was recruited as a centre. He was announced when the club still had Luai on the books for 27

Me too, there's a different quote from Averillo every month from the media, almost as if they know what position he should play, they know Jack shit.

A good performance in a reserve grade match where they flogged the opposition isn't a glowing recommendation of where he should play in a new 1st grade side.

Whatever it is it’s bloody annoying when you’re trying to read a post properly. I don’t know who put it on, but it’s an unnecessary distraction that has no place on a a footy forum, imo.
