Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The other question is, are we willing to pay half? 🤣

He's not exactly the speed man that V wants.

Averillo is.
No chance Averillo goes to Super League, there will be a long line of NRLclubs wanting him and we should be doing something smart for a change, signing him and then offloading To’a.

For me Toa gets one more season to prove his worth or it's bye, bye baby bye, bye.

think we’ll see a different star knowing his spot is under pressure from may & masi

That's on the cards but his fragile body is the real problem, as soon as a niggle sets in he turns to water must have a low pain threshold.

What about Jesse Ramien from the Cronulla Gummies .. apparently he is on the squeeze out of the Sharks due to salary cap restrictions at the club. He is currently on 600K at the Sharks .. we take him for 300 and Sharks pay the other half .. ?? Y/N .. ??

Jess Colquhoun their young prop is the player I would want from the Sharks.

Yep never seen a guy hobble around and look hurt so much - when he hasn’t got the ball.

I think when both at there best Toa is a better player. Problem is both at their worst Averillo is the better player. Neither of them are any good defensively. I think Averillo probably offers a good team more with his versatility and speed when put into space whereas Toa is probably a better option for a weaker club as he can create his own space outside less creative halves.
All in all, not much between them though I think Toa is a better fit here.

That will piss me off even more as it’ll prove he has been coasting.

It's been a roller-coaster ride with him Tuck, even testing my patience.

I love it when you impart your wisdom down on us all.

We finished 13th last year,
3 out of the 4 teams below us, Beat us,
And the 1 that didn't - Put 28 points on us and probably should have.

How's the Keppie fixing that?

When the starting team is as far behind the good teams in the Comp as ours is.
Infinite Bench Plodders aren't going to help.

I can hear it now, Every NRL team needs A Shaun Keppie,
And an Alex Twal,
and an Alex Seyfarth,
and a Royce Hunt,
and a Tony Sukkar.....

I hope you eat your words about big Roycey

Averillo would be a handy squad member in my opinion. However I’d rather a guy who can play dh for 20 mins and tackles well as a middle. Cam Mciines type would be good.

Latu fill in at dh?

the benefit of having depth. makes players sweat their spot

Tough one V. The start of the 2025 season Toa/Turuva centre-wing pairing was I think 2nd in most number of tries only behind Broncos

You wanna know a tigers player that was coasting because we had no depth. Esan Marsters.

 

[Camel2281]

If he's off to (Not)Super League then another 16 clubs didn't think he was value at his asking price either.

He's still better than Starford Toa though

He's another who's heaps better than Starford Toa

That's why we keep on putting up with him when he's injury free and his game is on he's good, so frustrating.

 

[Leck]

Almost all journos and betting agencies have us in 14th spot again for next year. Our for and against was poor this year - for 477, against 612.

Until we fix our defence, it’ll continue to be the same old story.

I hope Richo and Benji have a tiger up their sleeve, because our new recruits are depth players at best.

Harrison Hassett off to Sharks

we should have got him instead if geyer
