Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TigerBurnsy]

He has one breakout year but has been pretty poor this year. Giving a bit of Toa vibes this year. He isn't worth more than 400k but it is a position we severely lack depth in.

Not worth over 250k big vibes of a 1 season wonder who gets lazy, there’s a reason it took him so long to play regular nrl

Reasonable point you make there.

Toa 2.0

 

[bigsiro]

Watson is good for depth and I like his energy, but he is such a hog and I wonder how he will gel with our style.

 

[Blooey]

We need a starting centre for 2027
Cannot rely on Starford Toa

Imo, locked in:
1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3.
4. Taylan May
5. Heamasi Makasini

Depth:
Starford Toa (centre)
Tino Tavana (wing)
Patrick Herbert (centre)
Jack Attard (fullback / utility ?)

Strengthening this area is a priority, imo.
The off contract list quality is quite ordinary.

Jake Averillo is the pick of the bunch.
Great utility value too.

What do you think about Latrell Siegwalt from Souths?
He would be cheap, is skillful and can kick goals. Has done a good job in place of Mitchell.
Not sure about his current contract though.

I think we need back up with a bit more experience than him.

Not a bad goal kicker and looks a very instinctive player, but I think we need better than him tj help our strength in the centres.
We need someone who is better than average NRL quality ASAP.
I don’t think any better than average NRL centres will be available as an early release for us this season, but we really need to recruit to help strengthen us straight away.

Well if he’s baulking at 300 in Brisbane, I think your maths is out. Reckon it will have to be at least 350-450 for him to think about it. But centre is a real weak spot for us.

I don’t think he’s worth more than 250 and don’t want us to sign him, he’s not that good of a player, toa is better imo

 

[Flippedy]

Siebold over coaches and gets players confused it's one thing on a white board but another to actually do it

Probably needs to go over to the NFL, they love that sort of crap.

I would do anything to get Paul Alamoti here. Just the type of centre we need, imo.

If Seigwalt was available I’d take him too. Shown more in his 2 games with Souths than Toa has in his lifetime!

I'll say one thing, although Shibasaki hasn't been the greatest this season, at least when he arm grabs he uses both arms. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Siebold is what they call a tinker man, reminds me of that English premier league coach who took Leicester City to a premiership and got the arse soon after because the players were lost with his constant tweaking of the side.

 

[Betterdays22]

Lets hope Makasini comes back in the 2nd half of the season and makes the centre spot his because it is so unlikely that we find a first grade centre externally before June 30.

From what I've seen, he's alright.

Not quite the right player for us, imo.
There's a real lack of quality available.

I'm hoping we can land a contracted player with an early release.

Ideally Michael Gabrael @ The sharks and maybe Ali Leiataua from NZ.

Strengthen the depth.

 

[batboy]

You never know if you don't nurture and grow.

That's why you don't work in recruitment batty boy.

No I don’t… anymore.

Also been around long enough to know not to stand in the corner with a bowl of cheezels fawning over every young kids highlight reel.

You should get gunners to point you to Jake Mullaneys’ (probably not heard of him) highlight reel…
‘The next Brett Hodgson’

Would love Bronson Xerri but maybe too expensive....

Yeah.

With Luke going & Jeral appearing to be out of favour, along with Toa being forever out of form... we need to make some signings badly.

 

[liltiger]

They poached a 5/8 when they already had a good quality 5/8.
Who’s fault is that ?
I’m glad we didn’t end up with Ciraldo as our coach, he’s extremely arrogant and it’s only a matter of time before he loses the dressing room.

No respect for Ciraldo. Took a look at us and said we wernt where he needed us to be to come accross. Absolute gutless cat. Benji took the job and said why not whats wrong with the joint. He had the fortitude to have a go and back himself.

 

[liltiger]

Just looking at the manly team yesterday they had 6 ex tigers in there team , maybe they should be called the wests eagles

Manly Magpies 🤣
