Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[PabloX]

Even if we ignore Tyrone's past if you've watched him in Super League you'll know he's not a first grade standard player.
You can't just waste a spot and cap money because he's someone's brother.

We've currently got plenty in our top 30, which I'd consider a wasted of a spot and cap money. If we get Tyrone's brothers (both will be in our top 17) I'd say it's worth it.

John Asiata isn't a world beater but would be a perfect fit for us right now. I have seen quite a bit of him at Leigh and you can tell that his game is much more suited to the NRL than Super League.

He is the ideal ball playing 13 which is something that we have really lacked the last few seasons. He would take immense pressure off our halves with his ball playing, especially given his willingness to dig deep into the defensive line, attract the defense and play out the back. It really is the missing piece for our pack and for our halves. It would give Sezer and our 6 much more time on the ball to create out wide in the final third of the field (where we have really fallen short recently).

It's also an ideal signing as it fits out current timeline and doesn't block the path of our young locks (Kit and Fa'agutu). Asiata for a season or two would give ample time for Kit and Fa'agutu to develop without putting the pressure on either to step up perform immediately. It would also be low cost and even if one of the young guys breaks through earlier than expected, he can easily provide depth in the front row and lock position. It seems like a low risk-high reward type of signing that we really should be looking at.

I wouldn't want to rush any of the young kids we have. I am very happy we have Sezer to bridge the gape for Latu next year. Hopefully they do not rush Kit or Faagutu into the side too soon.
I do feel Kit only gets better the more he plays. He is a gun

Well we do have a vacant wing spot open for an over paid, disinterested tossbag.

I bet my left nut he won't actually play this weekend.

(Lost my right nut when Oliver Gildart didn't get a Dally M, so can't afford to lose this one)

Do we? I feel like he’d slot into the centres myself.

This place will go off if he pulls out this week.

Wonder what odds you would have gotten back in September for Olam and Lomax being our centres to start this season.
