[GNR4LIFE]

How many times a week do we need to see this thread? And then when we do decide who to go after, do we send our recommendation to the club, cos talking about who we should go after is pretty pointless if the club isn't interested

 

[Demps]

Eastwood, Pritchard, Lafai, Ryan James, jack bosden, Lama tasi, Jason buckuya, feLeti mateo

 

[innsaneink]

Now Sheens is gone would Matt Ryan come back?
Was disappointed to see him leave, I think he is going to have a big future

realistically if we could get a prop (or two preferably) a backrower (2 pref) and a winger imo

Mark Tafua seems to go OK….would prefer some props with 6 or 7 years up their sleeve

 

[1974semifinal]

Manu Vatuvei, Luke Bailey and Beau Falloon…oh sorry they are tim's picks.

An injury prone winger with bad hands..an old man forward ready to retire and someone from Titans who plays reserves.

 

[LaT]

Ryan James would be terrific, imagine a starting frontrow of Galloway/Woods and a prop rotation of Buchanan/James off the bench, something to build around for the next 10 years.
Nice to dream.

 

[Sunnycoast_tiger]

We should be looking at some descent back up players eg.Stewart Mills,Dayne Weston.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Greg Eastwood, Nigel Plum, Ryan James

 

[Tigersmurf]

We need grunt - Eastwood, Picker, Rose, Rapira, Prior and Bukuya. Three of those would do me!

I have broken it down into positions I feel we need to recruit in.

Props: We need 4 of these. 2 at top dollar and 2 cheapies.

Scott Anderson, Mitchell Dodds, Aiden Tolman, Ryan James, Dayne Weston, Leeson Ah Mau, Michael Weyman, Roy Asotasi, Mitchell Allgood, Frank Paul Nuuausala, Tim Browne and Josh Starling.

2nd Rowers:

Matt Gillett, Korbin Sims and Jayson Bukuya.

Centres:

Jack Reed, Jamie Lyon, Junior Vai Vai and Dylan Farrell.

Utilities/Back up hooker if Farah injured or playing rep football. This player would mainly play NSW cup.

Ben Hunt, Glenn Buttriss, Matt Hilder, Anthony Mitchell, Daniel Mortimer and Luke Kelly.

 

[pHyR3]

I think you're over recruiting, 4 props? So next season we'll have:
Galloway, Woods, Buchanan Groat, Bell, Gavet, and 4 more??

And we can't afford a backup hooker like glenn buttriss to play reserve grade…

 

[magpiecol]

A new recruitment manager would also be good.

 

[Westie]

What about $$bill,

 

[benji_6]

You will always have injuries, suspensions, and rep footy. Some hard decisions need to be made. I would be releasing or not re-signing Bell, Iosefa, Reddy, Utai, Moltzen, Meaney, Miller and I would have said Fulton but he has been re-signed.

Groat needs time and we do not know how he will turn out. Buchanan is a pup. Going well and better than Groat at this stage but its still uncertain how he will end up. Bell is a plodder and Gavet is unproven at this level.

Buttriss may not come to us. Some very good recruiting needs to be done. But its up to our current players and coaches to make players want to come.

 

[alex]

A few props - Ryan James and Aiden Tolman, a backrower - Frank-Paul, then a finisher on the wing in Antonio Winterstein

[Flippedy]

Ryan James, Aiden Tolman, Jamie Lyon, Matt Gillette and Andrew Everingham - that'll do.

 

[kh_canada]

Ryan James, Aiden Tolman, Jamie Lyon, Matt Gillette and Andrew Everingham - that'll do.

I like those as well

 

[innsaneink]

Ryan James, Aiden Tolman, Jamie Lyon, Matt Gillette and Andrew Everingham - that'll do.

Combine the talent of all those in one go & it would probably equal our last 8 seasons worth of recruiting

 

[Blake93]

Tolman and/or ryan james would be very handy. I feel as though james would be pretty hard to get with his strong performances to start the season. Tolman could come fairly cheap for what he provides as I think the dogs rate taupau, klemmer, kasiano and graham higher.
