Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tyrone May ; he played 6 with Luai at 7 in the 2016 panthers juniors. He has also played at lock for the Australian schoolboys. Despite his history, he has something to offer our team as a squad filler.

Taylan May; another with some negatives around his past, off field behaviour. Walks into our backline, ideally at centre.

Krystian Mapapalangi; one that got away, not a realistic option from within our tanks. Has some toe and smarts, a very well rounded footballer who can play anywhere 1 to 7. Upgrade to top 30. Ill keep pushing this one.

Kai Pearce-Paul; he isn't the next Sonny Bill, who some in the media have claimed but he's a serious attacking threat that will benefit our team immensely. Straight into the starting side.

Wiremu Greg; we missed out on big Sammy T, so let's take the other off contact FRF at the Eels. This guy hasn't had a massive chance, however we need some prop depth and he won't break the bank.

Preston Riki; he's been at the panthers for ages and can't get a look. Has some skills and we need the depth. Join us.

They can always upgrade contracts. They don’t have to necessarily be external signings.

Yes they can. However, there has not been much pressure from below to warrant upgrades, an, doing this in the past has only allowed the growth of hangers on in the 18- 30 ranks not capable of NRL and barely adequate for State Cup, hindering our depth coverage to yearly pressure with under performers in the top 30

Good list @Demps I'd also add Kobe Hetherington for lock. We know Richo & Benji are into him and, if Broncos extend Reynolds as per reports, there is no way they can retain Kobe otherwise I'll be going to the salary cap auditor myself for a please explain. Kobe is a bulldog in defence and effort, and his not being utilised to his full capability under Madge. He also can jump in at dummyhalf if ever required.

I wonder what pieces will fall at the Broncos.

Taupau shown the door, not a big contract one would think.
Surely there's more to follow.

Wasn't Pikaura mentioned as a possible departure? I rate him too.

If we don’t make any external signings, the club doesn’t have a choice.

Yeah, its a sh*t situation. FWIW i'd rather buy other teams State Cup players to reward with a Top 30 slot since our lot have not pressed. Real question- Who in the Magpies State Cup team do you rate that isnt already in the 30? Isnt Makasini coming in to top 30 on 30 June?
