Ok fellow forum recruiters, it's an absolute 'must' now for the club to recruit a depth right-sided centre/wing with experience who can slot in if/when Starford To'a has to miss.

Left side we have covered with May/Turuva as starters with Makasini ready to pounce and Luke Laulilii as his preferential side.

Given Staines & Faataape are leaving, that left Brent Naden in my mind as the one we should try to extend as depth. However yesterday just reiterated that whilst he's a legend NSW Cup player, He's too volatile for our NRL team. In saying volatile, I mean he can still pull off great effort plays but then is too prone to brain fades or missed tackles in the same game.

So scouring the players off-contact, I would like to put out there Corey Allan - experienced, can play both sides predominantly right, consistent, good defensively & covers centre, wing & fullback if required. You would think Dragons would extend but worth a shot.

Allan seems to play well when asked.

Braidon Burns. Another who's had a resurgence, he cut us up on that edge yesterday.

There's a few lads playing cup that are getting signed up to clubs. Kepoa [Knights] , Graham Moala [Souths] .... few others around that wouldn't be easy gets [ Sua, Tia @ Dogs, few raiders options]

I'd like to bring back Trey Peni [for cup & Culture] and have a look @ this lad at the Sharks [Jets] Michael Gabreal

Superleague wise? Not sure of any genuine realistic options. Maybe Bevan French

Thank you for this

Hahaha....yeah theres definitely no..."Its not his go" in this one

I remember there were rumours a while ago he racked up massive gambling debts while at the Roosters & he had to ask teammates for money to get him out of shit

Could Makasini be first drop for left and right centre? He’s been playing 13 in rugby this year and they play both sides of the field. I know he was playing left side only in junior reps.

Can Brian Kelly play right? Told he is free to leave the GC.

Once a douchebag, always a douchebag.

Was told ages ago some refs are paid for favorable decisions in games sometimes I believe it some times I don't makes you wonder sometimes with penalty counts

Believe we held talks with him when Madge was around but he chose GC instead.

Bailey Simonsen. Anyone?

If there was an investigation into the referees/NRL influencing outcomes, state of origin game 2 would be at the top of the list.

I was always surprised Remis Smith went over to the super league... could be worth a shot?

@BlackWhiteGold

I reckon whoever we have as depth just needs to be a good defender first and foremost. We see the difference having that with Taylan May.

@BlackWhiteGold

We need someone with experience to challenge for a position on our right.
Corey Allan and Bailey Simonsen are two that stand out.
Another that could be worthwhile making a play at is Jesse Arthurs, currently out of favour at the Broncos.

it depends on where they plan to fit masi into the side & who plays where. if they want masi in his genuine position at left centre, they may move taylan to right centre with star in the frame too

Just think he would want too much money for a depth centre. Same as Simonsson imo @Demps

But Reimis Smith is a good shout I reckon if he wants to come back to Australia.

Another possibility is Nene Macdonald who is reportedly in Australia after the Salford ownership debacle.

Reimis Smith, Braidon Burns and Corey Allan probably the best three options available to us currently.

shame Hiroti extended with Cronulla, he was probably the guy.

we just need a steady hand to do a job when called upon. the gap between Naden's floor and ceiling has hit us hard and often this year.

 

[jadtiger]

The same rumours existed while he was playing for Melbourne

 

[Tito Santana]

Geez I’m glad we never signed Brandon Smith. That guy needs help. I can’t help it think he reminds me of Ryan Tandy.

I was hoping Mapapalangi was going to demand this spot with recent performances in NSW Cup but think he may have fallen a bit short (was disappointing on Saturday) plus doesn't have the NRL experience of an Allan, Burns or Smith. Think Mapapalangi retained on a T&T would be the right fit.

Gee we dodged a bullet, as I thought he would be a handy pickup , now the rabbits can sign the titans forward , but I think they are looking at another

 

[NT_Tiger]

Its a red flag that noone's allowed to question the referees or referees bosses without punishment...

I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if the gambling money the NRL receives has anything to do with it... Let's say a punter tried to take the NRL to court for a decision (an absolute doozy) that cost them $1mill, it's alot easier to defend when the rules arent black and white and are open to interpretation.... You could make a case that the NRL profit and promote gambling, so they have a responsibility to the punters to ensure that games are officiated correctly... Again I'm no lawyer, just trying to figure out why it is the way it is... Because alot of these issues could be fixed with an overhaul of the system- but they choose not to do it..

Saying the quiet part out loud.
