Wouldn't be surprised if Naiqama gets another contract and is used solely as a depth player.

This would be a bad move imo, he has had his chance and would want too much for a depth player and we have also been linked to a number of depth level outside backs already

Has there been rumours of taane Milne or Curtis Rona joining the tigers? If so give me some links because I haven't heard the tigers pursuing these two.

We have been pursuing Milne for months, SG has mentioned plenty of times

wont be a bad move for either party
He has plenty NRL experience, will fit right in when needed

Entirely not sure why Naiqama is so disliked and critised as much

He was chosen to captain Fiji - an international team

Captains dont get drawn out of a hat.

With him and Nofo on opposite wings you can still the tries on Nofos side and not on Naiqamas side as much yet he still cops plenty on the forum

And i dont think Milne is a better player than Naiqama

Have you watched naiqama the last two years? Been pretty ordinary. Hes slow, small and doesnt score many tries. So why would we want him on the wing?

Taane has a great attacking skillset. His defence needs to improve but hes a out and out centre who could offer alot.

I agree Kev does cop some stick, he tries his guts out every week unlike some others, but he is not better than Milne.

Yep he does cop it from some sometimes unwarranted but he is a average 1st grader at best. If we are going to sign him for depth there are better options. This is our chance to clean out the roster and the more we let go the better.

Haven't seen much of Taane Milne (182cm - 99kgs) Guess I will have to watch him closely this weekend as he playing in the centres against us.

Taane is a lot like Simona, playing wise.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Where does Fonua come along in all of this?

 

[TSupps05]

Depth Player/ Reserve Grader - if Rona sings

FG Player imo if Rona doesn't come

 

[VanillaThunder]

Taane is a lot like Simona, playing wise.

Is that a complement or…? Do you mean good TimSim or bad TimSim?

with dragqueens losing PACKER AND DUGAN, there is no way we will get milne, they will have plenty of cap.

All depends. remembermarys first choice is aitkin and lafai as centres. So taane would be on bench or reserve grade. Dragons have a bit to spend but they cant go too high considering tgere two halves are 2 mill between them. Packer was only on 250,000\. Not sure what dugan was. They have to upgrade lafai, mann etc. Honestly think it would be 50/50.

How much are they paying McCrone .. ?? 2 hundred K .. surely not too much more .. !!

That is the key, Milne is first reserve for a centre spot, which puts us ahead.

Trolling is not permitted. Do it again and you will be warned.

Eastwood and Guerra, are there any other 2nd rowers we've been linked to that I've missed?
