Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We are in a tricky spot with Latu atm. Think he is in a bit of a holding pattern atm. We can get him in as a fill in 9 or build him into a 13. Problem is if Galvin leaves he's our future 6. I'd be pushing to find out where Galvin is at, if it feels like he's just using us as a stepping stone then I would throw Latu in at 6 and let Galvin fill in at 9 or 13 till he leaves. Why should we potentially stunt Latus growth if Galvin is leaving.

I think Latu can be our Connor Watson/Tyran Wishart. Ideal 14 and that position is so important now. Playing a specialist hooker at 14 is a complete waste

And yet....he's played centre and no backrow for the Dragons exclusively all season..

No he hasn’t … he has been at 6 the past few games at least…

BTW - The last player you were pushing for them to sign in the backline was Ravalava… only last month wasn’t it?… I hear he might be available…

Yeah but he scored 20 tries and averaged over 130m per game in 2023, when was the last player we had with those stats ?
I’d still take him if the Dragons were willing to subsidise his wage, so he was on a contract that didn’t hurt us if he was only playing NSW Cup if his form didn’t warrant playing NRL.

Yeah … but we are looking for him to play in 2025

Well that remains to be seen, I can’t see Penrith releasing him when there is no suitable replacements available.
I’d definately take a chance on Ravalawa possibly rediscovering his best form if we only had to pay him a maximum of 200k per season as for that money it is very little risk.

A change of scenery could be what he needs to reproduce what he did in 2023.
Where else are we getting 21 tries and 149 metres per game from an outside back aside from To’o who would cost 4 times the money and it’s very unlikely Penrith will release him in any case,
Skelton had a shocker for the Bulldogs last week also, I don’t think we can bank on him to be our saviour, I line the idea of he and Ravakawa potentially fighting for a wing spot.

I take it back- you're right. He's also played 5/8.

Therefore, he's destined for the back row.

Yes- I suggested Ravalawa. But then we signed Skelton, kind of removing the 'big winger' I was calling for. Strangely I don't remember much of what you've posted outside of saying how much you hate this thread, despite constantly posting in it.

He is moving closer to the forwards … he will be there soon…exclusively

Never said I hated the thread old mate … you are obviously a fine judge of NRL talent though
