Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You guys think we will lose both Garner and LL after next season? There’s no way he’s worth 700K and glad Tigers aren’t caving at best he’s easily 500K and not sure what’s happening with Garner I definitely see us losing one just wonder if we will lose both

Sheens was always known as the "recruiter" and has that magnetism to attract players. Credit to Warren McDonnell as well as I'm sure it is a team effort.

Madge also coached him in the NZ squad.

Papalii is 23 and had a breakout year.
Most backrowers are at their peak during their mid-late 20s
He is the perfect player we should be after to partner Stefano in the forward pack.

I think we’d get him to play on the edge. Handy back up for the middle but I’d like to play him on a edge

Will be announced soon. The meeting was today and he's willing to come, happy with the offer and only wants to talk to family before he signs.

So you’re saying that we have signed Papali”I? Not calling you a liar mate and I’m sorry if it sounds like I am but what source have you heard?

Never doubt TB

Who's next bud?

I haven't got anything else really. There's a couple of maybes but nothing of real interest. We were looking at some Fijian and Samoan rugby guys but I think they were too expensive.

How's the structure now, is sheens managing all recruitment now are we getting better feedback than the last mob (hartigan and co)?

I can’t see why we would even attempt to keep Garner.

Well maybe we won’t regardless but I definitely see us losing at least one of them and LL isn’t worth what he wants

Hopefully paying Papalii 600k puts luch back into perspective. He must realise he cannot be worth more than Papalii

Sorry Tony, I don't get my info from the club, I get it from a player manager. They're the only ones that really know what's going on.

Herbie Farnworth for '23 now please fellas

Do the player managers say we are any better now?

Papalili, Blore and Luciano fighting for second row spots…… I like it

Dont forget Alex Seyfarth, Always Improving every single year and a great attitude.

Tuki also coming through

I think Seyfarth has put on about 10 kg, he's massive! If Mikaele and Musgrove hit their straps as well, we could be anything!

We need a smart centre with speed and good defence otherwise our backline will be our dowfall in 2022.

I see more upside in Tuilagi and Blore, even Seyfarth. Happy to move off them.

@THE_POM did say we were looking at him

I wonder what odds we do a swap deal with Lucy for Papa. If they signed him on a 2 year deal for say 500k, and we sent him over there and chipped in 200k of his salary to get Papa here early, i'd do it. He wouldn't be out of pocket and Parra get a ready made replacement.

They can barely afford to hold on to who they already have, without taking on another contract. I’d be surprised if we were willing to let Luc go either.

If they allocate the money they were willing to give Papa to Lucy then they *may* be interested in a swap, if we chip in to level out the salary for 2022.

I’d want us to also pick up another experienced head in the forwards too, Tamou’s last year.
