Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

According to the Mole

The Rorters are targeting David Fifita for next year............

It's ok, they'll get rid of Aubo, sign Fifita and say they broke even. Classic Rorters reasoning.

Nofoaluma would have played 10 Origins and for Australia by now if he played for the Roosters, Melbourne, Souths etc.

I'm ok with that...surely some of their players will become disgruntled and want an opportunity to start at another club.

Their starting back row currently is Cordner, Crichton and Radley. They also have Butcher x 2 and Tupouniua. Not to mention Aubusson, although he must be done soon...

You'd think Fifita would be starting, who for, who knows. But there's some quality amongst them.

Crichton will go. Club's will be falling over themselves to sign him.

Issako signed a 4 year deal for around 800 k a season starting from last season (fullback money), can’t see Brisbane chipping in much and if we wanna play him wing he definitely isn’t worth anywhere near that money.....

he would have played zero.

We lack speed. Isakko isn't really a speed demon. Upgrade on Nof? Maybe

We should have one experienced half on our books next season. Whether its Benji, Reynolds, Foran. We should have won pro who's been there and done it before. Does Mbye count?

Can we afford to have both Reynolds and Foran on our books? No. Reynolds must be offloaded at almost full freight - at least 550k if we are to buy another expensive injury plagued old half.


Why does everyone always go on about upgrading Nofoaluma. It’s a partner he needs, not a replacement.

Because you could get someone better for less.

Really ? Pwah ! That’s insane money . And people were complaining at giving Doueihi 450k . Was that because the Warriors went after him ? They were chasing a lot of Poly boys , who could play last year . And offering huge overs

The Broncos just re-signed their young fullback/centre whom is highly regarded, Tesi Nui. Reece Walsh is another very well thought of ex Aust Schools fullback prospect the Broncos have whom we should look at.

 

[Newtown]

Reece Walsh

Ex Keebra Park.

Reece Walsh

Ex Keebra Park.

Brendan Piakura is also a strike forward ex Keebra Park and would be a great signing.

That's a joke right
He can't catch a ball when kicked to his wing
He stands there and watches it

I don't believe that money is correct... That is more the money Boyd is on.
I live up here in Brisbane and would of heard that if he was on that kind of money.

He did resign but nowhere near that but happy to be proven wrong. I like the guy and would have him at Tigers but not for anything over 400k a year.

No he didn't, his contract was a TOTAL of 800k over 3 seasons with a player option in the 4th worth 400k.

There is no rush to look for a half for next year at this point. The club is better off playing the waiting game...

We've all seen how many players break contracts after the season is done. This offseason will be even worse given that the cap will not be increasing (CoVID19) as clubs initially projected and budgeted for. Better to sit back and see what big names become available at a cut price.

What are the main targets for the club at the moment. Wingers?

Jason Saab named on the wing for dragons and will most likely be named next week as well. Don’t see him getting released before then
