Staines looked completely uninterested last night.
Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion
- Thread starter MacDougall
- Start date
Yep, I can 100% admit I underestimated what it would mean to lose Bula. It’s easy to forget how safe he is at the back. Hopefully he grows as a ball player and vocal FB, but yes he is miles ahead of other options

I was thinking the same thing. If we land Montoya, we aren't recruiting a a big dollar winger in To'o too.

End of next year I think.

I wouldn’t believe anything until it’s announced by the club since when did we start listening to the media?
Mostly agree but reckon Pole needs to fix his defence if he wants to start, and fulfil his potential. Has been found wanting for some time now & I'm wondering if coaching staff has identified this & working with him to improve. That's a bit of a common thread throughout our top 30. Seems to be deficiencies in basic footy skills, etc, that don't appear to be improving.
Agree on Klemmer. We need a genuine no. 1 front rower, with Pole & Hunt providing impact in shorter stints. I hope we're having a serious look at Leo Thompson.
Burn it to the ground & rebuild it properly this time.

The earliest sign for next season if benji has improved is if his starting prop rotation is 2 different profiles of prop, one big bopper and smaller more mobile prop. That’s the way forward in the modern game. We’ve been playing 2 big boppers all season and while they’ve both been poor, I think it’s hard to survive like that. We went all big and all the mobility was on the bench
After last night, I don’t see Staines and Montoya having a chance to clash. Charlie will be playing Cup the entire year unless injuries strike.

Staines has been good at times but last night he was as tame as Tim Moltzen. If Montoya has signed hopefully it means he and Naden are gone.
Never rated Montoya but he's come good at NZ...
Fijian connection? 🇫🇯
Our backline would look quite good with his addition.
1. Jahream Bula
2. Marcello Montoya
3. Sunia Turuva
4. Justin Olam
5. Jeral Skelton
Few backup options too.

And you’re not a shit footballer
It still stands we need to release a few from the top 30.
Bateman? Hopefully good info regarding he isn't coming back.
Local lads, Tumeth & Matamua? Can we move them to cup contracts or something?
Sullivan and Naden? These are the two we need gone the most. We need to chop them without too much financial damage.
Who else?

We don’t need Jack Bird. It’s a strange signing.
He's always injured.
Didn't he say he had mental health issues also?
