Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tito Santana]

With Laulilii coming through and Staines/Naden for depth. No need for another winger, especially one on 500k.

Dom Young has speed and that's about it. He has feet for hands and defensive reads that would make Nofoaluma laugh.

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

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.

Chad Townsend will be next in the firing line

Did he say a ‘big fish’ I thought it was just 2-3 signings

It’s “flippers” kepoa

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Jojo?

He’s a good player .. I’d be happy to add him

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.

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.

Lets go stef...bring it on....who wants some boof?!! Ill have ya then...Yay!!



'Ken Gronk.

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.

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

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?!?
