Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[happy_tiger]

Wonder if any NRL recruiters are watching the Olympics. Some of these Rugby 7s backs might make decent wingers.

Get far more playing Union than they will playing NRL .....France ...Italy ...japan .....

5 days and counting before the deadline!

Don't hold your breath as I think we will just be promoting internally to make the numbers... Shame as I really thought we would have made some deals by now.. Hopefully a good off season.

There's no one out there to deal with.

In the spirit of "signing suggestions", here are the players I would be enquiring into that remain off contract according to Zero Tackle.

Broncos: Jesse Arthars
Canberra: Harley Smith-Shields
Titans: Sam Stone, Sam McIntyre
Sea Eagles: Jack Gosiewski
Storm: Isaac Lumelume
Cowboys: Murray Tualagi (would go hard for this dude)
Roosters: Matt Ikuvalu, Fletcher Baker, Egan Butcher
Resignings: Mikaele (2 years), Seyfarth (1 year), Cini (1 year)

I'd probably pass on those 3, I doubt we would go back to the Sam McIntrye well, the rest you'd be happy with and would fill current needs.

I think Gosiewski is actually better than people give him credit for and has fallen down the pecking order at a good club. He's a pretty good roster guy who has a history of playing at successful clubs. He's one of the rare players I feel you could get for less than he's actually worth. That's why I listed him. I don't expect him to become Isaah Papali'i though.

I think McIntyre being that he was here before is another we could probably get to fill out the roster and not pay overs for. I also think he's not really ever gonna get a real shot at the Titans but he would here. Quite a similar signing.

Ikavalu just impresses me every time he gets a shot at the Roosters but they don't seem to consider him a top 17 guy. I think he'd be good for our roster.

Ikuvalu looks good on the end of a world class backline. Would just be a slightly overweight/slow winger here.

how come the mods have an axe now?

The interesting this is that we 'have' to spend a large amount of our cap...and there is really not a lot left.

If Mbye was to go for 50%, we'd have 2 million plus and not a lot to left to buy.

We are in a very good spot to offer other club's juniors 150-200 more than their current clubs can. We just need to get the right ones (like Stefano...Parra could simply not match us with all their rep forwards on decent money at the time we came in)

This is the play for 2022 for sure. I’d love to know which young back rowers the club consider to be future rep players. That’s where we need to start.

Looks like a gavel to me

Huge countdown for an upgraded reserve grader

Tuilagi is the tip. Hope he plays this week and shows something

Agreed. Bit annoying that every year we end up having a spot open on deadline day - almost like we are a man down compared to the teams who fill their rosters earlier.

Happily take Woodsy back on basic money. We need another 1st tackle prop and he has never been anything but a hard worker and good image off the field (I remember John Morris saying Woodsy was always first to arrive and last ti leave training at Sharks).

Happily take him back for say 250k replacing Packers spot in rhe 30 man squad.

Also happy to have Curtis Siro back

Both better leaders than guys like Twal and Brooks who we have in the leadership group now. Not the worst if they’re cheap.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Woods take a first hit up out of a set. Can’t believe someone would entertain taking him back the flog
