Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If they are upgrades on the 10 we are replacing ......definitely

Yes. Certainly better than downgrades.

 

[wstigers11]

Do we want 10 new signings though? The squad looks pretty good.

Honestly the only weakness I see in our roster is a ball playing lock, just not much out there

Toa ? Back up hooker ?

They’ll be going with Hope for this year & with a year of cup Haywood will be ready as back up in 2027.
Centres we have May, To’a, Makasini & Herbert as depth. That’s enough I’d say?

Toa and Herbert are not up to it.

Makasini needs to be on the wing on the left edge. Not in the centres.

He is thriving because he just needs to catch and run straight. Nice and easy.

Masi on the wing is fine for now while a rookie but he’s a genuine left centre, they are rare as anything not sure we’d want to go away from that

I gotta admit .. I’m not a fan of Hope … they are in a spot of bother if Api goes down ..,

Big expectations for Mak … I think he might start on the wing .., but I guess I prefer him over Herbert in the centres .., it’s still an area of concern given problems with Toa that persist

We need another gun centre for the right side.

Normally I would agree...

Except we need to expect a brain explosion from May.
Great player, no doubt.

It's just May is the kind of NRL player that is found making sweet love to the flashing light on a white car with blue squares painted around it.
We need a reserve ready when this happens. I keep hearing To'a is injured but I hope he is that reserve.

rumour going around this year
Barnett to Parramatta and then Parramatta releasing Lomax to Melbourne.
Nelson Solimona looking to go to New Zealand

So what do the warriors get out of it?

Because they don’t need storms permission to sign Nelson

Big Nelson doesn’t need anyone’s permission does he ? Think he is a free man

Thought he was boxing though 🤔

Where are you guys all hanging out hearing these rumours ?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

As I mentioned … 1 big name ( were we in on Kolamatangi I wonder) and say 2 solid first graders ( think KPP) …. One or two steps up,from depth guys like Bunty and Herbert

I don't think Bunty is depth.
IMO he is above Hunt. My run on side!

I like Bunty…but I think Royce might have him still …hope they push each other because one of them will play at least

Royce should be nowhere near the top 17 at the moment.

Royce should be nowhere near the top 17 at the moment.

Id be trying to offload him next year, i dont think he is capable of giving us what we were hoping for when he was signed.

Once fit to play, I’d like to see how Skelton goes at right centre in State Cup. Geez he can hit in defence. Then he would be competing with Herbert for the right centre position behind Toa. I’d keep Masi on the left wing (& left centre if May was injured)

Royce should be nowhere near the top 17 at the moment.

he has been training the house down all summer and dropped 15 kegs
