Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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!

he is a stud

Never mind Goji berries, quinoa etc......toe-jam is the new superfood by the looks of it. Kotoni thrives on the stuff!!

One of my favorite players to watch.

Would be a dream to have him.

Behaviour from the top sets the standard? The top dog at Canterbury Leagues Club is allegedly involving himself in lewd and appalling behaviour towards women.

COME AND SIT ON MY LAP is the headline story.

Penrith may be feeling that Burton is a genuine chance to leave 🤔

I like the idea of bringing staggs to the tigers, but he'd be completely wasted in the forwards.

We've got to find our own Staggs. There is plenty of talent in the Wellington and Dubbo areas. Unfortunately, I can't see Staggs do ing to WTs.

stagg, Burton and staines would fix the backline

So at best my he could be a bench back rower at panthers

 

[Goldust]

Burton would get folded playing in the fowards at his current age/weight etc
Would be a total waste 🌝

I'd throw plenty of cash at Staggs, however, I wouldn't put him the forwards. Keep him at centre and let him pop those 2 pointers over that we've desperately been missing.

He’d be wasted at tigers as well. Look at BJ, barely gets the ball in attack.

That's only because of Marshall.

I agree, Burton doesn’t has the body shape to convert into the forwards (88kg 190cm).

One of the smallest forwards in the game is Cameron Murray (90kg 184cm) whose much more compact. And Wade Graham (96kg 186cm) was already a chunky 5/8 when he entered first grade.

Burton will add weight as his career progresses but because of his height he’ll have that leaner shape. He’s a half and should stay the course of being a half, he could become a dominant NRL playmaker and if he can’t get a run at the Panthers then he should do himself a favor and find another club.

Good point about Murray he plays well above his weight.
Burton has definitely showed the early signs of being a great playmaker.he seems to land those 1% plays.

Staggs request for a release appears to have been denied, so if anyone is looking at signing him it will be for 2022

Preferably us.

Gee whiz, just looking on Zero Tackle there are very slim pickings in the off-contract player list for this season.
Presuming we offload 8 of our 9 off-contract blokes (McIntyre would be the only one I'd keep, haven't seen Dylan Smith play at all though), what are we going to get?

Just do a Moses or Matterson and kick stones/whine like a baby until the club has no option but to cut you loose. Unfortunately that's the way players do it these days to get out of contracts.

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.

I think the chances of that being our team in round 1 of next year is 48 trillion to 1

Lol yeah pretty much. Oh and if we somehow managed to snare Tamou he certainly wouldn’t be playing off the bench!
