Kepoa on a long term contract is better than a utility half/ fullback. We have Mbye/Douhiei already makes zero sense.

If Kepoa is as good as many are rating Mbye is straight on the bench as a 14 with Talau in the centres and BJ back next week.

You think it would happen that quick? Hopefully Talau his fixed his defence at centre but considering he’s been playing wing idk how much he would’ve trained at centre

Wonder if @THE_POM

Can confirm

Why does he need to confirm
Wendel already did that.

If the kid is first grade ready I’d move Talau to the centres now. Actually if BJ wasn’t out I’d run with BJ and Lawrence. Mbye plays 5 good games a season and the rest are terrible. Benji was dropped as was Brooks. Mbye gets a pass I don’t know why.

A loan deal according to Wendell.

Given he is off contract at the end of the year and we are still short in the outside backs for next year and likely to see Dylan Smith let go - Could see him come over for next season as the backup fullback/ utility back

Which of our players was to be loaned to the Dragons?

 

[Long Term Fan]

Watched the game last night and Alex Johnston is the type of winger WT require. Has speed and knows how to score a try especially long distance ones at that. He also knows when to come off his wing.

Having said that Alex Johnston bleeds red and green and it would be sad if Souths don't retain him. I don't think his heart would be in another side, a bit like when Farah went to Souths. If I was Souths Alex would be better value to Abdo-Carr and without the baggage.

I am hoping our own A.J debuts soon. From the photos posted he appears to have an impressive frame and size about him which is required for a modern day winger. Like WT are investing in quality youth and not hasbeens looking for their last big pay day.

Mbye to me is a bench player at best and not really worth the coin he is on.

WT in my opinion don't need any more forwards for next year but some speedy back and hopefully a goal kicker is what we need to be a top 4 side.

Hope Lawrence and Marshall retire at seasons ends. Hate when players play on too long and ruin their legacy.

Wow talk about getting screwed around

 

[GNR4LIFE]

This kid from the Roosters will probably be better anyway.

 

[JC99]

Whatever happens we should have a crack at either JAC or Johnston. Fingers crossed we get one or the other

Reports were Souths couldn’t afford to keep Johnston (who’s asking for decent money) and they’ve signed Jed Cartwright and Taane Milne for next year I think

Souths h

 

[bptiger]

Sorry all , stuffed up there , Souths have become the new roooters , able to just keep signing players , gee I would love there c

Anyone have any signing suggestions or rumours?

I do but ..it's not allowed...apparently..

Congratulations everyone, 50K posts in the signings suggestions thread, at least 456 of which are actually about signings.

And 450 of those were Smoking Gun aka New Smoking Gun aka nug gnikoms.

Personally I was a rather big fan of nug gnikoms, he was so excessively polite, he sounded like a Dr Seuss character.

Can the Dr Seuss character kick goals

Can we kick a goal? A goal from the side?
Me thinks we can with our mind applied!
A goal is so good, a goal is a must
We must kick this goal, in Mbye we trust!

Johnston will end up at Storm if they lose JAC he wasnt interesting in WT last year either so doubt much has changed.

Jayden Sullivan from St George is a good young half he should be who we target for a year or two's time.

I’ve watched Sullo play all through juniors, seriously they rate him so highly I don’t think saints will let him go

We changed

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

well AJ probably has not changed ...

 

[hsvjones]

for the right price I would jump on AJ ASAP.. he covers a few positions, quick, safe hands & experienced. We would be crazy not to at least have a go.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

AJ would want the fullback spot i think to come here

He’s getting forced out either way. He might have no choice but to play wing
