Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[walter]

Still wouldn’t make the 8

 

[gallagher]

Shutup Bwaith, Shutup Brandy

That's relevant to every thread

 

[boonboon]

I would be aiming for the following
Douehi
Nofa
Joey
Talau
JAC
Jackson Hastings
Brooks
Twal
Isaiah Papalií
Aloia
Liddle
Musgrove

Mikelle
Stefano
Blore
Bunty Afoa /Sam Mcintyre

So let go of everyone off contract except perhaps Mcintyre and then then offload Packer, Reynolds and Mbye (all hard to do I understand)

New signifngs
-Stefano
- JAC
- Hastings
- Isaah Papali
- Bunty Afoa

Your missing a BackRower. Leilua id imagine.
Bunty is a target.
I would also consider swapping Chee Kam for Takairangi.
And we need an experienced prop to replace packer. Someone that tucks it under the arm and leads through effort.
Left field but is Tolman an option on a 300k deal?
Is he cooked or could he help with the young squad?

 

[boonboon]

I did miss Luch - oops

With Bunty gives us 5 props so prob need another one if Packer goes

Takirangi has too many yesterdays and not enough tommorrows - no thanks but happy to let Chee go if someone wants him.

Tolman - No No No Cooked

 

[tigger19]

Like your team boonboon,I think with abit of luck it’s achievable,all good gains in the areas needed

 

[Aesopian]

Tigers should be on the blower to Staggs manager as soon as this game ends. Can't imagine a better time than after tonight's mess. He may want out.
Strike while the iron is hot.

 

[Harvey]

Staggs defence was a big problem

 

[izotope]

he'l fit right in then

 

[hsvjones]

Staggs or Naden from panthers would be a great fit. we will get a first hand look tomorrow night at Naden when he get a hatrick...

 

[Geo]

Staggs defence was a big problem

6 tries down the Donks Right edge..

 

[Rowdy12]

Isiah Papalii would be a great get

Not as sold on Bunty

 

[Aesopian]

Staggs defence was a big problem

Tonight was average. But not so bad over the course of the season.

Manu ranks worse than Staggs for missed tackles & ineffective tackles. Even Mbye's defensive stats are worse.

I think the bog of a side he's in makes it look worse

Darcy Lussick. Big lad and plays with aggression. Would also buy him a beer or 10 for giving Hodges a beating?

So offers around $500k might get JAC, but not souths apparently

The chances of Alex Johnston staying at South Sydney beyond 2020 hinge on whether teenage sensation Joseph Suaalii will recommit to the Rabbitohs or not.

The 17-year old is currently mulling his options, with a future in rugby union the only thing stopping the Rabbitohs from securing the services of the talented teenager.

According to News Corp, he will make a call on his future next week. But after weeks of silence, there is no indication what code Suaalii will play in 2021.

The Rabbitohs remain optimistic about the prospect of keeping him, but concede that it isn’t a certainty, given what he has shown already.

He was named player of the year in last year’s Harold Matthews Cup for South Sydney, recording 15 tries and six try-assists in just nine games.

**It is said that it is about a 55-45 percent split in favour of Souths retaining him,** but the longer this has dragged on, the more angst it has created for all involved.

Souths have made a point of limiting any contact with Suaalii and his family to give them the space so they do not feel pressured to make a call on his future.

While the club are keen to keep Johnston, who has played over 130 games for the Rabbitohs since 2014, they just don’t have the room in their salary cap for both him and Suaalii.

But all of that changes if Suaalii makes the call to go to Rugby Union.

However, with Johnston in good touch as of late, offers for him have come in and unless a decision on Suaalii is made soon, they could be without both for 2021.

Meanwhile, it looks unlikely for Souths to sign Melbourne’s Josh Addo-Carr next season, despite a pitch by good friend Latrell Mitchell to convince coach Wayne Bennett to sign him.

News Corp reports that Addo-Carr would be looking for a deal upwards of $500,000, which the Rabbitohs don’t have the salary cap space for.

"**It is said that it is about a 55-45 percent split in favour of Souths retaining him**" :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

I'd luv to know the metric that News Corp use to come up with these figures. Probs spits out random stuff like 2 + 2 = Pasta

Probably used big data to come up with that.....or a magic 8 ball

Shutup Bwaith, Shutup Brandy

Is there ever a wrong thread for that?

 

[happy_tiger]

Shutup Bwaith, Shutup Brandy

No. It has a place everywhere.
I miscalculated

 

[Russell]

Anyone else like to see this side in 2021

JAC
Nofa
Tom Talau
BJ
Staines - can he goalkick?
Douehi
Brooks
Aloiai
Brandon Smith
Musgrove
Leilua
Garner
Twal

McIntyre
Blore
Tamou C
Liddle

I’d like to see the addition of smith and tamou to add some grunt. Think brooks could get off the back of that and use the added pace out wide.

If only we could recruit.

No.

Staggs is COMPLETELY wasted at the Broncos! I have seen this kid playing at FLB coming through and he was as good as any back! Absolutely wasted at centre! One of the strongest pound 4 pound players I have ever seen! Speed, power and acceleration is unrivalled in the NRL! Bring him to the Tigers! You could even play him in the forwards, throw him in amongst it in the middle! Would be a weapon of a signing!
