Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Should go hard for Pensini - if he re signs with them then they are obviously rorting

Pensini is off contract at the end of 2023. Defiantly one to be putting pressure on the Eels with all the $ they are throw at their halves.

Interesting comment from Sheens. Blore on an edge and Talau at centre?

“Sheens said he always liked players capable of playing more than one position, and viewed Blore as someone capable of handling the edge and middle, while Talau, who has spent most of the summer at right centre, was another edge option.”

versatility is good. Particularly If they are on the bench rotation. all spots (except for Api & Klemmer ) would still be up in the air until after trials.

Go to junior reps 2023 thread 2nd last page has a thing on our juniors and he’s in it looks solid. I reckon he can use the heavy roller.

This photo is deceiving.

Laurie posted a photo of them next to eachother and for once, Laurie looked the bigger man.

Thanks mate, then if that is the case we need to worry because that is not good to hear at all.

Reilly is one of the most ill informed recruitments i have ever seen. How can a kid that played outside back in both league and union, now train as a half in the NRL. That will do me.

This is where Sheens recruitment scares me. Under the covers we are skinn and bone and no muscle. You have 2 halves (and i use AD loosely as a 5/8 as i dont rate him as a 5/8) yet have no back ups. Is he hoping that Benji pulls the boots on again???

You could go get Mason Lino (Wakefield) or Jai Field (Wigan) and pay them more than what they get in Super League to act as your backup for a year.
It scares me how ordinary the production of halves is across the league to be honest.

I am not worried about our depth on depth.

The problem is our two "halves" are Brooks and AD. We need to solve that problem by bringing someone in. Filling up on Fringe grade halves who are only good for the occasional reserve appearance is wrong.

Forwards, different situation. The more aggressive our pre-games and training is the better our first grade.

Depth means your next halves talent will look at us and not get a start at First grade. Keep the "reserve" space open and look for a person who is blocked in another club that would upgrade Broooks/AD.

So these are the new signings!!! Two lads coming back from long term injury.....

Sheens been banging this drum... It's getting tiresome.... He thinks we're mugs

Can't see us getting Ramien either

Still the best recruitment for years. Sad as that is. Ramien would stay at the Sharks. Hard to get players from the top teams.

Fair bet he will stay at sharks. Didn’t last out his last move to knights

Thanks Buttface. That's a really excellent summary of what looks to be a very deep and talented junior ranks. Feledy looks like a tank and more like a second rower than a centre!

I think you're right Sean T. The Sharks are a strong club with a popular coach. Can't see him leaving either unless we pay him megabucks........

That is the problem. There is no one putting pressure on our halves which means one of 2 things - either inadequate hales in the backup or no potential halves to pressure....Will Smith is not a halves solution and that is the problem when i look at our recruitment . Not to say we are the only ones either. Across the board apart from Dragon's, Roosters, South's, Canberra and Bronco's there seems to be a lack depth of backup halves.
I will always stand corrected but this is a massive weakness in our depth both in NRL and NSWRL.

Well he is a Sharks junior to be fair. If that's where he feels at home with his footy then not much we can do.

Penisini and ramien in the centres would be good

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Regarding Ramien and Bulldog Ritchie's article, we are closer to signing him that Ritchie is making out we are. His Management came to the Tigers he does have some interest, my contact at the Sharks was pretty confident last week he won't be with them in 2024.
I guess however does not mean a cashed up dolphins won't make a play for him either

Nah.....I'm hoping he's the next Bradman Best, but without the time spent on the sidelines.

Lets hope he grows and extra 2 inches and throws on an extra 9-10 kgs .....
