Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Curly_Tiger]

for goodness sake let’s spend our biggest chunk on a difference making second rower

Who could we get for next season ? It'd need to be a top level player too. Angus Crichton would be great. Kikau as well. We need a player at that level of ability.

That’s the Crichton we need

Horofully Blore becomes that top class back rower for 2022. Then we can spend big elsewhere

Agree but I’d think it’s at least a couple of seasons until he’s top class, he’s half a dozen games in. Having a top class one in the team may help his development

Crichton will not leave the Rorters now with the cloud over Cordner...Sitili Tupouniua may and a free agent in 2022...

Lots of upside as a decent not crazy amount could attrack him..would walk straight into our 17..

Probably right but I think the gun second rower needs to be an experienced gun, we need someone who has been there and done that if at all possible

Cordner is still around, Madge brought Crichton into first grade so I'd think he'd be in a position to find out. Roosters were previously making noises about exiting Crichton, I reckon that might play on his mind

FoxSports reporting that Elijah Taylor is with Manly.

Deserved to get a contract somewhere, happy for him.

Manly Warringah Sea Tigers

He's signed for Blacktown. Seems a bit low for him, surely he gets a gig in the nrl as a squaddie or in the ESL. If reynolds can he should too

Addo carr off to the Bulldogs
Wow
Must be BIG $$$

Well I hope we are looking at a gun

More than likely it will take a couple of years until he's reached his potential, and having a top class back rower will help his development.

What if he turns out to be as good as David Fifita?

I would argue that until the back end of the year Tupouniua was outperforming Crichton and will get better..

 

[balmain boy]

I've been saying for a while we should target Toupouniua. Every bit as good as Fifita for half the price.

Can’t defend. If he can’t defend at the second best team in the comp what’s he gonna do with us

Tackles at 91%. Not exactly awful for a youngster.

The Butcher boys are also decent back row prospects.

Maybe so, I don’t altogether disagree and I’d happily have Tupouniua but it’s more about big game experience for me that we need now

I just want the best players. I don't care about experience. The guys will get that from playing.

If Mansour is signed!
Why let Jennings go?
Why potentially block Talau, Momirovski or any other player who’s coming through?
Why help Penrith?
Why sign a winger when we need a fullback.
Too many question marks on signing him.
It has to be reverse psychology from the club to mention we’re interested in him.
At least I hope that’s

Jennings/mansour nothing to do with each other
Talau not a winger
Momo or anyone else are they grand final wingers?
Why help panthers - agree but may release Laurie which would assist fb problem

The comparison with Jennings and Mansour is to obvious, there’s no real pace, height or X factor about either.
My point was Jennings is a very similar option to Mansour so if they let him go why would you sign someone similar?
Talau played a fair bit of wing last year from memory so you may say he’s not a winger but that’s where his first grade appearances have been.
Your argument on momo not being a grand final player is very strange, are you saying that because Mansour played in a grand final he’s got more upside than a bloke who kicks goals has twice the legs left in him and is also cheaper on the books.
Momo played in the semis two years ago when the roosters beat Melbourne in the GF he even scored a meat pie in one of those games so he’s got a little bit of big game experience for a young bloke.
Mansour is the Josh Reynolds of wingers.
It’s a no from me.

Jennings similar to Mansour? With all respect...have you ever actually watched them both?

Jennings was a country class plodder...Mansour was once a solid group one talent and still is capable.

There is literally no comparison.

JAC signed with the Dogs

I spoke with an uncle of mine who played with and is still involved with the bulldogs, that he’s contract price was huge, bigger than he expected.
I asked if the $2 million mark I read in the news was close to what he heard and he said it’s a lot closer to $3 million for the four years.

Crikey that’s almost Mbye money.

I would like to see the club go hard for jaydn Sua,with Souths having to upgrade Latrell,and with Arrow coming next year surely there cap is feeling the pinch,Talakai from Sharks is another talent,these two could be more realistic targets for the club
