Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

Eveyone needs to stop believing the media...do you know this kid in real life? How can we sit her and hate the media for putting out fluff pieces on us but then take them as gospel when they are talking down this kid as a no good trouble maker....I for one would love us to snap the fox and grant for 2021 with JS in 2022....our attack with brooks and doueihi established in the halves would be fantastic

Funny isn't it, we complain about unfavourable news stories and not signing top talent. When a favourable story comes along and the opportunity to acquire a top junior talent, more complaints! Sign Suuali if he has links to Maguire.

If we can beat out union, I think we'll get him. Loves Madge. Don't know how much it will take though, but worth it. Generational player, if he lives up to it.
Reason we cooled on JAC at fb.

Problem is those stupid get out clauses he wants. Why would any club spend big money on him when he demands to be able to leave whenever he wants?

Sadly we will probably never get to see how good Roach could have been ...makes Liddle look like a 80 minute / 24 game a season beast

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

If we sign Sualli the contract should state he must commit to a minimum 3 years in the NRL he'll only be 21 by then still plenty of time for Union

 

[TigerWest]

Lol that clause is insane, can leave after every year? Pfft.

If all of what's being said about the kid is true, it's very unfortunate.

I think we might be doing this to keep JAC interested and on the hop

lol..contracts huh..it's like they are always honoured by all parties..like i've never heard of someone having a contract a leaving before..

Everyone saying no to Sualli needs to have a good hard look at themselves. This kid is a special talent. And Bennett has now publicly ruled out trying to sign JAC.

He publicly did that with James Roberts at a time too..nek minnett

I dont really care if this Sualli kid comes to us or not...My main hope is that Madge can transform whatever squad he has next season from being flashy attack,score more than them type to a consistent defensive unit that other teams will start to take notice of...
we really need to have the culture change that Madge so dearly wants so we can be a competative side that threatens to make the finals and not be an also ran as the previous 9 seasons..
It is always good to recruit talented players that will impact a game more than recruit players that MAY have talent...
The game today needs players and coaches who can adapt to the new rules ,therefore constructing a gameplan and structure that must be adhered to so we dont get penalised or lose ground that will be hard to makeup or give the opposition more go forward than is needed..this style needs players that are committed and obviously talented to work hard within the team and for each other,the days of just relying on one individual to think and work for the team alone are long gone,...I honestly think Madge is working his way to making the team a hard working unit that will make finals within the next couple of years...

I agree - but are there any solid defensive teams anymore? We need to score more points than this year and let in less. Personally, think the days of low scoring games are over

Bennett has zero respect for the truth

Ah, JAC to Souths it is then. Shame.

 

[jirskyr]

The best part of that article though is reading that Souths are being rejected, despite offering great money and the hilarious bit is the Roosters not being able to fit Suaali in because of their ‘tight’ salary cap When has the Roosters cap ever been tight??

Wait wait wait. Reading the JAC thread I have been assured several times that Souths always get their man, and the NRL bows and scrapes to permit that to happen.

 

[jirskyr]

This is not related to signing Suaali or JAC but does anyone know how long Justin Pascoe is on leave?

It seems working at the club is on a part time basis for this guy .. even the staff are on retirement contracts just like most of the playing roster!

R U OK mate? Some very pointlessly negative commentary coming around from you lately. God forbid Madge and Pascoe take a week off.

I hope Bennett keeps his word.

 

[Speed2burn]

Sualli will be a star, mark my words. But he reeks of SBW to me, back and forth between union and league or whatever

Not sure we need that

Sualli has a development contract there next year. We just wait until November 1 and get him then.

Get JAC for next year

I don’t care about paying overs for teenagers. This kid is the brightest prospect we’ve seen in a decade. People are already comparing him to Inglis and Folau... lock him up for the long-term. He’s the type of player you wanna build your club around. His build reminds me of Inglis and Turbo combined

People also compared Brooks to Joey Johns.
Want to see what this kid has got up against hardened pros, not what he can do against kids half his size in under 16's.

Double speak by Bennett meaning they are going all out for JAC. Didn’t he say the same thing about Latrine?

 

[hodgo]

I am genuinely confused why people would want to say no to him. Suualli literally ticks a lot of madge and forum boxes. He knows madge, he is big, he is fast, he is a devastating ball runner. He is wanted by anyone with money, he is a multi-sport athlete (not enough emphasis on this these days).
Those saying he is hard work, you literally don t know what went on behind close doors. Secondly if he wants those outs in his contract its because he actually thinks he is that good to me another plus (no I wouldn't give them) . Also if you can set yourself up for life at 17 you do it no question.

I don't blame the kid .....drag every dollar out of the highest bidder
