great winger, not so good fullback. lolohea will sign i reckon and will play fullback. does anyone think moses suli is overrated?

You've got to be joking. Moses Suli has been one of our best players this year and he's only 18.

Who is this stooge aye

Its got to be wind up. Either that or he doesn't watch any games. Suli could probably walk into any teams starting side.

OK, he will be good. But people are saying he will be the next Tigers prodigy. IMO i think ATM Nofoaluma has more potential. Suli will be good, but not a Tigers prodigy.

Suli has been fantastic all year and is our brightest prospect by far. Nofoaluma is terribly overrated.

Horribly overrated and not a first grade fullback. Every signing is a question of how much are you paying them, he would be value on a minimum contract, but think we would be paying more

No one rates him. He'll be signed to play wing, but he'll be the backup fullback

In 2 years time he'll be a beast! TNT version 2 maybe?

1\. Lolohea
2\. Johnston
3\. Hiku
4\. Milne
5\. Nofoaluma

Seems like a good backline to me.

I think that this will be closer to what we get in 2018.

Not forgetting Suli of course.

1\. Lolohea
2\. Johnston
3\. Gray
4\. Suli
5\. Nofo

That would work for me, and would not cost a fortune so we could bolster the secondrow with a decent signing

Yep I like that backline a lot, though I'm not sold on the idea of the unproven Lolohea being put in such an important position. I don't get all the excitement over him, tbh - he doesn't look like anything special. I would rather Gordon or even Hopoate at fullback for a year or two so we can take the time to find a more viable fullback option in the future. I don't think it's a decision we should rush into and they are both experienced and proven performers, who wouldn't cost the earth, and could temporarily fill the void left by Tedesco, until a better player comes off contract in a year or two. Just a thought.

Apparently we are closing to signing Alex Johnston. What are your opinions and will he be a good asset for the club. I reckon he will be used as a winger.
:sign:

As a winger a great buy if true. He can fill in at fullback in an emergency. We lack genuine pace on the wings and he has plenty of it.

Agreed….Nofa was run down on friday by blair of all people......
 
Big NO as a FB.

As a winger…... I wouldn't be complaining imo we could do better, I just don't rate him as a player. But yeah wouldn't be a terrible signing, hope he proves me wrong if its true.
