Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Looks really good. Need a bit more centre depth for 2026 and depending on how Makasini hits the ground running, could be the 3. option with Turuva / Skelton on the wing. Gives Laulilli some time to develop as well.

I don't blame people for being skeptical as this rumour has been doing the rounds for months. Because of that fact, I am skeptical myself. Let's hope the guy I talked to is on the money this time.

Lol I forgot about Turuva.

Hard to picture To'o coming when we have Turuva, Skelton and Laulilli here.

Manager will want him to wait till end of 25 knowing him if he plays out of his skin rival offers of 1.1 mil x 5 years 27 onwards could be offered if its money he wants let's hope that's not the case and he stays for less because of mateship and our finals probability moving forward.
 
Despite the To'o murmurs which are probably just that, i think its far more likely we get Taylan May than him and that's pending a court decision.
You hear Terrell mention his brother a lot you'd reckon he knows what the go is and i don't think he's talking about Tyrone.
If we got Taylan there's a centre locked in we could afford to not resign Naden (i dont think we will anyway) and i think Staines contract is up along with Doueihi. Plenty of space there for Makasini and or Luali'i to come into consideration.
Think we might have to put up with a bit of deadwood floating around the squad this year for another fresh assault on the market for a couple of backs and forwards to fill the gaps.

Iv got this feeling about this kid, mind you I could be totally wrong so don't be shy reminding me if I am, that he's in it for the long haul. I'd hate to lose him but I genuinely think he loves the joint. It was the fact he turned up to pre season 2 weeks early to get started. I just feel like this guy genuinely wants to fix the place and is willing to put the time in unlike alot of others who have come and gone.

I recall many on this Forum were saying that Fonua Pole wouldn't extend. That he would join his mate Steph down in Melbourne and that he was just going through the motions at the Tigers until he could join a BIG team. Well Fonua stuck after 3 wooden spoons.

I do agree that Galvin is THE litmus test for the short term future of this club. If we can extend him, have some on-field success, and keep Romey long term then all of a sudden the joint begins to look like a desirable destination for success seeking footballers.

Imagine Doueihi, Staines, Naden & Feledy out and replaced with May & To'o in 26. We'd have

To'o
Olam
May
Turuva
Makasini
Skeleton
Toa
Laulilii
Saukuru

That is as quality as you can get, including the depth. I'm not sure the funds would equate exactly, plus you'd need another 2 on minimum. But an interesting thought.

Destination club wouldn't that be nice finally after years of players wanting to get out of the joint great change.

I wasn’t basing it on quality. Just that they are signed and likely for first grade. Would prefer Too everyday of the week.
