When does JAC come 🧐

Souths will squeeze him in as well

 

[Demps]

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

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

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

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.

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

Agreed but the reason we want pace is to enable line breaks/score tries. BJ clearly addresses the issue of breaking the line/scoring tries.

Particularly if our pack improves as we hope. Sometimes to me when we are in the oppositions 20 is when we look least likely to score. IMO BJ will certainly help there.

 

[WT2K]

No hard feelings towards Joey on the raiders forum. Most of them that have posted are sad to see him go and view it as a big loss for them.

We can break the line ok, but it is worthless because Nofoaluma and Jennings do not have the pace to finish. If we don't sign pacey players this off season, our recruitment has been a disaster.

A disaster?

Serious question, will you be happy/satisfied if our requirement = Walters, Luc Leilua, Musgrove, Stefano, BJ & AD?

That's a big turnaround adding those to our squad....
