Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TillLindemann]

I just despise South’s that much, I don’t want to help them with their salary cap issues so they can go and buy more stars.
Then expect WT to take their leftover scraps.

With that approach we'll never sign anybody. Whoever we sign, it is helping someone's salary cap.


We don’t have to take their dregs to help them sign top shelf players either.

I don’t think that AJ is an upgrade on what we already have.
Doueihi position is fullback or 5/8, he was diabolical on the wing.
I see Tommy Talau as our long term 5/8.

Mate I'm confident on Talau as well. Centre this year, 5/8 next year? And Doueihi at fullback? We need someone at fullback, he's as good as any options. Corey on the wing.

When does JAC come 🧐

 

[cochise]

Can someone who actually knows explain whether there is a difference between the top 30 and an NRL contract.

Top 30 players sign a NRL contract, Canterbury Cup players sign a Canterbury Cup contract?

Doesn't Douehi still live around the Concord area with his parents, more likely then to sign with Tigers than Storm as he is very close to his family from all reports.

Strathfield

He went to St Patrick's College Strathfield, same year as my son...if he does leave Souffs it wont be to the Storm if he has another Sydney based offer

Good.

He’ll be coming with AJ, BJ and CJ?

Obviously a union background then, my son went there.
Any idea what position he played?

Souths will squeeze him in as well

Hes Michael Chiekas cousin.

Yep he makes up the 3 amigos. Can’t see him going anywhere else.

Yeah he did play 1st XV but they're in the ISA comp I believe. They rarely play against CAS & GPS schools. Someone correct me but I'm pretty sure he played 10 as a flyhalf. Demps mentioned Michael Cheika was his uncle earlier, he could have realistically played for the Waratahs. I've been hearing strong rumours that Angus Crichton will joint up with his old Scots college teammate Jack Maddocks and play super rugby next year

This is the last time I get my hopes up from a rumoured signing. If Doueihi isn't signed tomorrow I'll lose it.

For Doueihi?

Ill be more annoyed if signing Doueihi prevents signing BJ

Were getting em both.
Too likely now.

Lets see what happens tmrw.

If that happens, Ill be very happy with that. I cant imagine there would be any disappointment by anyone at our offseason recruitment if they make that happen

Hows those 2 are the type of guys we've been asking for and needing for years...
We'd be crazy to let em slip when theyre available and we got the funds.

Im hoping that the club is clever enough to make it happen but I cant see how they can. Reportedly both of them are on or will be on $600K at their current clubs (god knows how with Doueihi) and wont come for less I wouldnt imagine.

My understanding we have only about that much but need to sign three players for that money.

We can do it.
We'll get Stefano or upgrade a youngin to fill out the 30.

Signing JL does not address the issue of a chronic lack of pace.
