Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Isaako is a smart signing so don’t see it happening. Hopefully the club at least thinks about it.

he’s too short. We already have a short winger, we don’t need two imo

Wouldn't Isaako see himself as a fullback and want fullback money..Madge seems quite happy with Doueihi at the back as he is continuing to get better each game growing into the position..you don't invest time and energy only to replace him with someone arguably not as good

Doubt Isaako would want to come here to play on the wing or any Club really..maybe Storm..but it would be on a lot less coin that he would expect..

I wouldn't think he is a FB, fill in maybe.

Can't imagine he would get FB money from any NRL club.

Don’t know what he thinks. I think he’s better on the wing than at fullback. If he’s not playing first grade he may just have to play wing somewhere better than not playing at all, that’s where I would put him

We don’t need one of those either.

It would be in Reynolds best interest if he could find another club to offer him a longer contract. We would not be resigning him and thats common knowledge so if he gets a 3 year deal overseas he would be smart to accept. The old saying... The writing is on the wall

Maybe fullback is the new prop ...if your not sure sign another one

We use that policy with utilities and it's almost worked ...sort of

Isakko, he was omitted out of the broncos 17 so naturally it can be now be assumed that wests tigers are now talking to him and further makes sense to spend time and thought debating whether the fantasy signing is a good or bad fantasy signing.

Where is it mentioned he is omitted from the squad?
I saw he has a week suspension same as Carigan and Flegler for this coming week.

Please no Foran. I love him as a player, but I can't take it anymore (highly paid WT players constantly being injured).

 

[hsvjones]

I see James Graham has quit Dragons ...
They were saying last week they wouldn't release him unless they had a player to replace him - Does anyone know if they have got that player and who it is ?
Also will this effect Saab been released I wonder

I really don't see McGuire paying overs for him regardless.
Our coach has made some excellent decisions sense he got here and is known for not paying overs for players even if they are younger. I for one would take Foran as he would bring experience here and with all these young guns they need that when times are tuff..
Until Coach proves me wrong I will accept his decisions as he was won at every club he has been at.

Even at a lower price, you are still going to have to fork up 400-450K for Foran, who would essentially just become part of the coaching staff.

Two things after reading stacks of posts in this thread:
1 Foran - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2 Harry Grant is not ours and will not be ours next year

400k is the price you will need to pay for a guy like this with his experience.
If you want to pay 250k you will be getting a guy worth 250k and get nothing.
If you watch him closely he is a very good player and leads a team around like a great half should.. His only problem is him staying healthy but thats a risk you take with a lot of players.. Would I sign him for 700k ... Hell no but for around 400k I would take the risk on a guy who is 5 years younger than Benji.

If we are signing a halfback, 5/8 Phoenix Crossland at the end of the year from the Knights would be the player we should throw big money at for 2022. We need to stop with the ageing veterans.

Never heard of him - what's his story?

Correction it’s early team news but apparently being moved to the wing for Tesi Nui to start at fullback.

ummm..what?
Douehi has played alright but he is a long way from proving himself as a consistent and dynamic fullback.
Anyway, Isaako's goal-kicking alone doesn't just get him into the team, it walks him in!
Take him in a heartbeat.

Disagree. Doueihi has been great for us.
