Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tim Sheens]

Per inside source. Have a pal who works for the graphic design department for the wests tigers and he has told me that he saw Junior Paulo being given a tour of the facilities by Justin Pascoe and lee haginpantelis. looks pretty close at this stage

We have a whole graphic design department?

Fresh mate certainly narrowed down the source of the leak.

I have no issue with someone commenting on a player having a tour of the facilities. Which is a lot different to a recruitment manager talking to Journalists.

Wouldn't Paulo cost 800k to sign?

For us to have a legitimate chance yes it would cost us about that much

Not necessarily. He is currently on approx. $600K and Parra have locked away Reagan Campbell-Gillard $750 per year until 2025.
We could get Paulo for $650- $700k.

Paulo would be a great pick up but could we really afford to have over 1.5m tied up in the front row. I’m a big believer that forwards win you matches but surely that is too much for two props, will be hard to balance the rest of the pack.

My guess parra have had a bit of a fall out with ayoub.

If it was 650-700k them I'm al for it. He and API gives us cred in the eyes of other players. Have them two and we will start to get better recruits.

Having a great forward pack though doesn't help if we have Brooks running the show. Don't mind him at 5/8th but we need an out and out halfback.

I'd like to see what he's like with a 'real' pack. He's never really had one.

Yes. They designed Pascoe's hairdo

Hairdresser at new complex completely devoted to pre season work on Pascoe


You would need 2 hairdresser's at least to do that

Their names are Ashley and

True. But pack or not doesn't make a difference when you kick a grubbers from 10m out and it goes dead by ten metres haha.

See what he and Madge can do this year then I will re evaluate things.

That's true too 🙂 I still feel he would look a lot better with a decent pack though, especially his running game.

Brooks with a pack behind him containing Big Stef , Paulo , Papa , Blore , Red , Hastings ,API , that would be a game changer for us and Brooks , Peach on the bench we look pretty good

Agree 100%. A go forward pack can make stars out of outside backs.

 

[DJG]

Paulo? Damn would be an amazing addition.. but just a fake poster.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The Club announcing the re-signing of Utoikamanu would be the best Christmas gift for most supporters.

Why do u say its fake?

Well, I am assuming due to the newly created account to post that he toured the facilities gives it away for me

 

[Westsboi2019]

Given Sheen's comments regarding the extension of Utoikamanu and what the Pom said recently leads me to think he's already signed but the announcement will be made next week either on a Thursday or Friday as an 'early present' for the fans leading to Christmas day

As i have always said,-- A half is the link between the forwards and backs. We have had weak attack and defence in the forwards, and slow and inafactive backs. To pinpoint Brooks as our problem was rediculous. AD tried hard but a little overrated, i doubt he will be in the halve unless of injury.

That forward pack would be a revelation for even the crappest of halfbacks (which Brooks is). Look, you can wrap an old fish in fresh paper, it's still going to stink after eight years.

Stop, I beg you. No more Brooks talk, please.

Not about what he'd be like w a forward pack

Or if this is finally the year.

Please, stop. No one has ever been persuaded by a single Brooks argument on here.
