And he only has to pass a fitness test now before they accept him 😂😂😂His manager probably had his next club lined up prior.

I wouldn’t touch those guys given we most likely would have to sign Tyrone as well. I’d take Taylan, but I don’t see that happening to get just him. If it involves having to get Tyrone, that’s a pass for me. Haven’t seen enough of Terrell to make an opinion of wanting him or not.With the 500k a year we just saved on Nofa, I'd be calling Taylan and Terrell May right now.
As weird as it sounds - if we signed those 2 I'd be fully content with the clubs roster from 1-17.
We need one more winger and one more prop option after the signings of Luai and Olam. I don't see much weakness in our squad besides that. Both May brothers fill that role perfectly.

We have the youngest roster in the comp 2 years in a row...It’s a young man’s game, can’t have too many players aged 30+ if you want to be successful.
French has scored 35 NRL tries, Nof 100+. That's the only comparison you can make.Has scored more FG tries than Noffa for all those calling him a legend.
Agree big time on this, Taylan is sort of forgotten after a year out but is a potential gun and Terrell looks set to become a key middle at the roosters this yearWith the 500k a year we just saved on Nofa, I'd be calling Taylan and Terrell May right now.

I still think if he’s leaving it makes sense to see what is available at the dolphins as they are well stacked with backline talentI see Tupou as a regular in the 18 / 19 spot for this season.
He has scored that many tries in the vastly inferior SL.Fair and well made points mate, on current form and comparing to what we have I would be on the phone.
Do you watch many Roosters games?Exactly.
Terrell has done 3/5ths of f. all. The ease at which some people would swoop in and fill roster spots on a whim smacks of not thinking through the implications of these types of roster moves.
I'm with you on Taylan, Glen.
Hands down a quality winger and a real goer. Would love to have him. But the implications of a tagging-along Terrell, who may be a decent player in time, but offers no form of upgrade atm, along with the pressure that would place on bringing Tyrone back in a package deal, make that an easy pass in my opinion.
disagree personally. 18 try involvements in 20 games last year averaging 137 metres a game. a little inconsistent defensively but I still think he would improve us.Bailey Simonsson is awful
with Nofoaluma now gone and Tupou leaving end of year we will definitely need to go to market for a winger for 2025 and beyond. Luke Laulili'i comes into the squad next year, but someone low-risk, high upside fits the bill on a 2 year deal
Jeral Skelton is the ideal candidate for mine. athletic, powerful winger who is great coming out of yardage and holds his own defensively. will come cheap and is stuck behind a stack of outside backs at the Dogs.
Taylan May if he managed to rediscover his 2022 form would obviously a great shout but I doubt he moves here unless we bring his brothers over. Bailey Simonsson, Semi Valemei and Izaac Thompson are other guys off contract and attainable I feel.
I have always thought he looked decent whenever I watch him, but Eels fans can't stand him which isn't a great signdisagree personally. 18 try involvements in 20 games last year averaging 137 metres a game. a little inconsistent defensively but I still think he would improve us.
well Luke Laulili'i is the development candidate. he will absolutely be in contention for a first grade spot next year, but we lose both Nofoaluma and Tupou, and for that reason I feel it would be wise to bring in first grade-ready talent for 2025.Isn’t there a candidate somewhere at the team already coming through the development ranks? I mean… it’s a winger … aren’t we supposed to be a development club…?
Scores tries in 9/10 games he plays in. Best player in Super League. You’re a hard marker.
35 tries in 40 odd games in NRL. Not too shabby. If he stayed he’d likely have 130-150 at that rate. He’s Alex Johnson like when it comes to scoring. AJ is also not a physical specimen but has stood the test of time.

wing is actually one of the positions we don't have a stack of pathways talent in, similar to the back row.
Laulili'i is one, but outside him and Willett, who to my knowledge has never played wing, that's really it. we're flush with fullbacks, centres, halves and middles thru the pathways, but not so much on an edge or the wing, hence why I feel going to market is probably the right thing to do.

Some.

If playing regularly of the bench for a top 8 side and performing better than most of our bench players is 3/5ths of f all you’re hard to please. He is on par with Pole IMO, although he is a couple of years older, which would put him ahead of several other regulars we have.
I do agree that we should have no interest in Tyrone though. And I doubt any other club would want all 3, so giving 2 a chance to play together may be the best offer they get.
