Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe a KPP & Dom Young package deal ?
I’m not totally convinced either of them is the right fit for our team, but it’s hard to say no to a 6 foot 5 winger with explosive speed who can score plenty of long range tries.
Yes we have good wingers at the moment, but Turuva is playing well enough to earn a crack at playing in the centres.

it just feels a little bit too much like when we were trying to sign Isaako and Pangai Jr as a package deal unfortunately, Vic. both have upside but realistically can only take the punt on one.

for me it's absolutely Pearce-Paul. he's playing with the shackles on under O'Brien.

Chad Townsend will be next in the firing line

Chads setting himself up pretty good for retirement. Though he still loves the game, wonder if he would be keen to stay in Reggie’s at the roosters or move to another club and likely play Reggie’s.
Word is Sandon may leave the Roosters as they have valued him/offered an extension at around 400k.

The only attraction to Pearce Paul is he is available for Nov 1 preseason. But in the fair dinkum stakes he is paid far too much for what his output is.
I wonder what Canberra paid for Matty Nichols? now that is an example of an astute English signing.

KPP is on more than what he should be, sure, but he's unable to produce what he was renowned for in the Old Dart due to the role O'Brien's given him.

WT actually pursued Nicholson when Richardson went over to England midway thru last year but lost out due to the Canberra connection with all the Poms.

Very interesting nice to hear that.
I reckon if it was this year instead we would have got him. Form may of played a part in being an attractive option.
I mean KPP was a young star at Wigan. It was a big signing for Newcastle at the time.
I’d of thought they would use him better for sure.

Dom Young - Given permission to talk to rivals for an immediate switch.

I watched him play on Sunday and he was very good in Reggie’s.

No thanks. We have good wingers..don't need any more

Naden is terrible. I’ve tried to like him but he just doesn’t get it.

When he's a winger he's fine. It's when we play him out of position.

Stay in reggies. Milk it there. No club besides possibly ESL be interested at his age

 

[lathami]

he's also been promised the 7 jersey at the club he grew up supporting. he's not going anywhere.

furthermore, Latu is our guy long-term.

If he can sort out his hamstrings?!?

See roosters are letting Dom Young go, interesting. He he the type of player we want

No no no

I just think KPP suits our playing style. His frame with guys running of him. He will excel with us.

Is the "He he" like a laughing, you must be joking kind of sound you are trying to express.

If that is the case then I agree.

I think the dollars are the issue.

If it's for $300-400k then might be worth the risk but for the reported money that he is on, then I don't think so.
