Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I have never rated Aloiai tbh. I think he has an average work rate and runs hard every 5 runs....middle defense is okay but nothing great. At that sort of money, happy to see him go. Would much rather Billy Magoulias and Peni Terepo at that money (laugh at will but both provide much better value than Aloiai at $670K

Peni Terepo is playing at the mighty narellan Jets for 2021 😉 we announced him a few weeks ago

very true mate....

have to admit this signed for 2022 gets a bit tedious.....this whole sign on for the year after next is ridiculous

Oh well... There's always the year after next year

Reimis Smith confirmed time he going to Melbourne.

He will end up doing really well there. He’s tall and fast, if he can learn the Melbourne system he’ll score a good 10+ tries a season on the wing there.

If that happens I wonder if we’ll read stories and hear endless comments about how bad a decision it was for the Bulldogs to let him go? I’m guessing not.

Did we make an offer?

James Roberts rumour has substance to it. Not just paper talk.

What rumour? Are we linked? Doesn't seem like our type of back, too fast and elusive. Slow and steady here at WTs.

Here’s An article with photos of Pascoe and Hartigan meeting with James Roberts. Definitely some real interest from the club doesn’t mean they’ll offer him a deal though

Personally don’t think we should sign him. We’ve got centres and he’s had a whole heap of issues the last two years. Reeks of a Ballin, Reynolds, Idris type signing, just pure hope he can find his old form again

He would have to be on a seriously cheap contract to even consider

 

[finnzo]

Had Madge coached roberts before?

 

[supercoach]

Would not touch Roberts. We dont need the baggage and he will block a pathway for Talau or another kid. He offers speed but nothing else

 

[weststigerman]

Don't we have enough centres? We have a roster full of centres and halves. Need second rowers, wingers, and a fullback.

I think I'd rather Mansour than Roberts. (Don't want Mansour either)

 

[JC99]

No I don’t believe so. Both were at Souths for a short time in 2012 but Roberts was released for breaking his contract according to Wikipedia

 

[finnzo]

They must be planning for at least 1 of our centres to be playing out of position they have mentioned they want to get speed into the team and jimmy certainly has that

I’d rather sign no one than Roberts and Mansour 😂 use the money to sign more rookies or upgrade the guys who did well for us last season

Second row and fullback is priority. Even on the wing we’re okay for now

 

[JC99]


Blehhhh how disappointing. Not only do I think Mansour will struggle with us, but he will block the development of someone like AJ for a year most likely.

If Mansour comes, Maguire has a lot of explaining to do following the debacle of the Leilua signing.
