Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Still can't believe Benji selected Royce as a starter.

Has he been that bad idk I haven't watched much lower grades bit it doesn't sound to promising. I don't get it with this bloke has the size and power to be the player we need I don't get why he's form has gone to shit. Hopefully he puts in a performance that shows a bit of hope .

 

[weststigers]

No, only because we need to use our resources in more pressing positions. We have wing relatively covered compared to other areas.

Talakai plays second row

Talakai plays second row

Ohhh that guy, then maybe 🙂

 

[Modman]

Has friends everywhere.
NZ, Parra, Newcastle....
Probably a likeable guy.

He's keeping the seat warm until Makasini comes in... that guy has all the attributes you want from a modern outside back. Guys like Folau, Inglis, Yow Yeh and more recently Sualilii and Xavier Coates - Makasini has it.

Demps I don't get to see to much of the Mack truck play and I'm of the opinion if your good enough your old enough. Reading most of this forum are very confident this kid is special, asking if you think he's ready to have a run in the top grade for a few games this year.

We might have to pass the hat around mate…cause it likes like the owners arent going to match the three clubs you mention

That's just those three Tom, not the big boys like Brisbane, Melbourne and the Roosters. I only mention these 3 because they're our direct competition in Sydney. We really need to find a way to get much more funding in. We are underfunded compared to the rest of the comp imo, it's no coincidence success has been forign to us.

 

[Modman]

Not much room for depth backs … they might have to go with what they got already

We got 4 spots left assuming they sign Taylan …

Three forwards please…

How do you feel about Hope as the second hooker next season ? Does that need an upgrade?

Yes I think he's defence was not up to fg standard. Don't get how the hell tds leaves a club he loved where he is back up to a player like Api than going to Parra and playing behind a nobody. SMH.

 

[Modman]

We had Galvin, Luai, and Latu before. 3 halves.

Galvin left leaving us short on backup halves as they promoted Latu. Madden is signed so we are back at 3 halves. Javon Andrews will not play NRL and I don't think he is even on a top 30 deal, so it's not detracting from the cap or roster spots.

There is literally no one to play half if Latu or Luai went down if Doueihi doesn't sign on again. We don't even know if Doueihi will sign and even if he does, he only wants one year. We need a half that's played a few first grade games as cover.

Why is this controversial?

I would of kept Bud considering we're paying 80% of the freight. . Can see improvement in the young man with some good coaching. Seem to be a player Wayne didn't mind playing.

Are you the kid behind that channel?

 

[liltiger]

He's a big boy

No, but I like his attitude🐅💪

No, but I like his attitude🐅💪

He loves a bit of clickbait and can't pronounce the players names right

 

[Tim Sheens]

Questions…lots of questions with our 4 remaining spots..

Is it better to upgrade our reserve grade wingers , or sign a couple of starting middles? Try to upgrade Hope as well..or is he the man next season of Api is out?

Didn't Hope already get upgraded to top 30 in 2026?

 

[weststigerman]

Wouldn’t even care if Toa goes he’s so inconsistent

Must be a big fan of Feledy or Naden.

These are players i think worth looking at:

FORWARDS

Davvy Moale - PROP. Think he missed a lot of time injured. but thats prob kept is reputation and price down. Could be worth a contract to give us some depth and punch off bench?

Daniel Suluka-Fafita - PROP. Provides some presence but still good work rate.

Adam Elliot - LOCK/2RF. Brings composure, leadership and link man with some punch.

Ethan Bullemore - 2RF/Bench. Adds spark off bench to help turn momentum.

BACKS

Taylan May - CENTRE. Just get it done.

Chevvy Stewart - FB/Wing. Currently contracted for 2026 but stuck behind Weekes. High-upside, low-cost backup fullback/wing option.

Blake Wilson - Fast. good finisher. Speed and value. Good wing/FB depth.

Yep because a bench winger from the worst team in the comp will help us

Lofi offers something nobody else at our club has.

No, only because we need to use our resources in more pressing positions. We have wing relatively covered compared to other areas.

Talaki is not a winger covers back row and centre

A hyphenated name?
