Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If the Broncos have cap constraints, Willison would be a good acquisition.

They don't, or at least they don't impact him, they literally just re-signed him for 3-4 years.

 

[balmain boy]

Not sold on Willison. My fear is he's a little more the athletic type & a little less the hard nosed type.

We have athletes. We lack the mentality.

Leniu is obviously the dream addition.

I REALLY like Jayden Hunt from the Broncos. Surprised he's satisfied with the role he has there.

Actually we have neither.

So Taylan May to come in for centre /wing and then next year Tyrone May to come in at five eight or bench utility

 

[Needaname]

We are in desperate need of an another alpha prop with experience & voice in the James Fisher-Harris mould. Terrell May leads with his effort but we need someone who can stare down an opponent, puts fear in the opposition & can produce big PCMs at will.

At the moment Pole should be our 1st bench rotation until he further develops his game & experience.

Who could this be that could fall out of the tree?

Someone like Mitch Barnett was a bit of surprise signing at the Warriors. Long career with Newcastle as a young to mid age player with a hard edge but no standout but since he went to the Warriors he has completely transformed to a leader and enforcer.
Need to find someone similar we can build around either of the Newcastle Barnett or the Warriors Barnett versions would do.

 

[balmain boy]

Jeez May is a risk. We've got a pretty fragile truce in the dressing room, a 64-0 flogging, his brother is playing pretty unreasonable minutes and now will have to look after his fairly unwell younger brother on top of things. Hope im seeing it incorrectly but I am really not sure its worth the gamble.

Some say unreasonable minutes, but he's not being asked to play against his will. He's actively protested when he has been subbed off. But he's Benji needs to make it clear that to get the best out of him across the entire season and in future years, playing a bit less and having more impact is where it lies.

Re KPP
I’ve previously said his a ‘grabber’ in defence and not what our pack needs going forward
Just watching the knights v titans game and amazed how a team/ball can avoid a player so much, thru no fault of his own.

 

[balmain boy]

Any Queenslanders in here who watch the junior comps?
Any word on his the second rower we signed from Burleigh u18s, Cruz Tauaifaiga , goes?

 

[kade7]

may has done everything the club has asked of him before entertaining a deal

its honestly in our court now , ill be very bummed if it doesnt happen

has converted to islam also, has had a few chats with SBW also

we need talent take the [This word has been automatically removed]ing risk shane

 

[Fish88]

We need forwards so badly. We need guys you can tackle and hit hard in contact, such as those mentioning Hopgood earlier. If we keep getting steamrolled in the middle it won’t matter who is on our edges.

 

[clontarfkid]

If Parra let Hopgood go , ill walk from Manly to Shelly Beach

Just a doddle...do that walk most days.Bower restuarant at Shelley has a happy hour 3.30-5.30 Sat and Sunday with a singer
Not bad

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Anyone know if its a top 30 spot? We need a middle to shake from the tree also. Were hope and Faatape spots 28 & 29?

 

[Fainu Brothers]

If we let Galvin go mid season (highly doubt it) could Kurt Falls play 7 and Luai 6 if Latu can not get his body right?

 

[boonboon]

Hope is on development only. We have 2 spots available this year.

We need a prop and then a backrower but also hopefully pay out someone like Tumeth to get a outside back

'No risk': Exiled star breaks silence on potential return

'I will play next week'

The video is in this story.

Look at the timing on that - just further evidence I think he’ll be here within the next month.

The question is…. would he play wing or centre?

 

[JC99]

What interview was this,?

Richo and the tigers had a sit down with him pretty much ready to sign him before he went to rehab and all that

 

[weststigerman]

Can play both but a better winger. Probably depends on who is fit.

We have loads of wingers so I’d say centre.

Doesn't really matter he could slot in at both. He's got the ability it's just his mental space, if he is going ok mentally and really gets himself sorted, he is a weapon in either spot. Realistically we could use a centre more than a winger atm. If everyone's fit he offers more in the centres, Turuva and Skelton have the wings locked down.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

I think he will play wing and Tito will play centre as turuva signed to get a go at centre, with ad dropping out I presume

 

[vlad]

Weedler on 100% footy raised the possibility of Adam Reynolds to the Tigers if he doesn’t come to an agreement with the Broncos .

I don't have a problem with his minutes so much,
I have a problem with playing him those minutes gives us an excuse not to use our bench properly,
Or to be looking at getting value from it / interchanges
- We're already small and light, Why do we have to be dumb as well.
This club seems to sit on it's hands forever waiting for 2005 to re-imagine itself!!
We're the idiots for believing in them.

If May has to play 80, for the love of god, Get a couple more decent middles and move him to Lock.

Seems like a diversion to me, Look at T May playing big minutes
- to draw attention that we're getting the least out of our bench / other middles in the comp.

Even the physics of it, The Opposition are out there tackling the same bloke,
that's the same shape that runs the exact same way - for the whole game.
On the Weekend we get 80 odd min from May, 20 odd From Pole, 20 odd From Hunt and 40 from Twal.
Storm fans running out of Popcorn watching them waltz through our middle...
