Staines wouldn’t make our starting 17, Nofa and Ken both infinitely better than him, gets lifted and taken back making tough carries, we need as much help for our forward pack as possible. If it wasn’t for Ken & Nof runs on tackle 1 and 2 off our line we’d struggle to make the 40m line

Staines doesn't grimace everytime on every hit up compared to Maumalo does tho.

I reckon we are well and truely covered for average wingers.
See the Noffa thread for a reminder.

Isn't that what Kayde Dykes is for next year?

Did he grow up a fullback or just wants FB money?

I find this place very funny. We lack fullback depth & backline speed.
Staines would eat most of our backs up, is young and meets our roster brief of age/type players.
He also isn't on a huge deal, it's doubtful we could do much better with how bare the market is

I reckon we should get Staines. He runs it back hard and he is fast. He probably doesn't make our top team right now but that will change. He might also be a better option than Laurie at fullback.
If we could snag Burton that would be huge. He is better than Brooks and Doueihi.

He is a great option for us because these are areas where we are lacking.

Staines is only worth looking at if we don't end up signing Dykes.
Don't mind him as a depth signing.

Everyone has mentioned burton like he’s available. I really can’t see Gus letting him go or any new coach of the dogs for that matter
There has been a lot of "uneducated guesswork" about a coach clause in his contract and much of the speculation is coming from that.As always rumours are more believable than they should be

Or him wanting to come here
Staines in the worst.
