Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[bathursttiger1]

Good chance that it's just Gus deflecting as he does.

I didn’t get that vibe from watching Gus talk on 100% on Monday.
Even Gal (who I can’t stand as a commentator) talked about young guys playing in their first year of NRL burn out after a few games at that level, like Toups, Bula.

P.S. I know that Gus is always covering his arse and can’t be trusted with the truth a lot of the times.

Article from the Mole suggesting we're going to shop around Doueihi for next year. I'm sure they'll be knocking the door down to pay 600k for someone who will miss most of the season.

I’m sure if we pay the first 450k then someone will pick him up.

So far no word on the boys from manly , must other clubs would have this wrapped up and had them in there team colours.

I thought they (Finau Brothers) were under contract until 2025 but given permission by Manly to shop around?
And that I assume is why the long negotiations due to us wanting an immediate/early release?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

This is me speculating here but I wonder whether as part of releasing Latu & Samuela Fainu to us, Sea Eagles ask us to take another player who they want off their books to free up salary cap space with all their incomings.

Would be either Zac Fulton or Sean Keppie!

If we held over a barrel, I'd rather Keppie personally as we don't need another young lock & Keppie brings a bit more experience. Likelihood that Seyfarth and Tuki Simpkins, in addition to Offa, are gone next season.

 

[You Know Who]

I know there’s been mention on this forum and the media about us looking at Braydon Trindall, but we should be going all out for his signature (assuming we’ve got Fainu). He’s a natural halfback with a good short and long passing game, great running game and is a solid kicker (the anti-Luke Brooks basically).

Offer him 650-700K and get it done. I know he’s under contract till 2025 but I doubt the Sharks stand in the way of that offer when he’s stuck behind Hynes, Moylan and having to compete with their other young halves.

A halves pairing of Fainu and Trindall would be amazing and should be the priority.

Sheens has all but admitted that Doueihi will be lucky to play in 2024 and given that he signed a 1 year extension there will be no need to shop him around as no one would take him injured and they can sign him anyway come 1 November 2023 for the 2025 season.

Wait for an announcement after the U19 SOO.

Remember he stated he was looking at $900K a season earlier this year.😂

Dude Brooks is gone move on. You harped on about Moses that didn’t eventuate. Its slim pickings. Don’t trust Gus, he wants Pole

That’s what I have heard as well, he apparently loves it…

I had every intention of catching 100% Footy the other night just to hear what Gus had to say about the big score lines but got side tracked and missed it.

Might see if I can catch a replay some time.

I see what you did there….😂

 

[hsvjones]

All Fulton’s signings giving you that confidence?

Willing to give him a go and he seems to have high regard in the recruitment game.. Time will tell

I'd pay him out anyway and free up the roster spot.

100% Agree

I was just reading an article the knights have won the race to sign young manly centre Fletcher Myers, good work Fulton, I think we will have to start calling him costanza shows up and sleeps under his desk all day

150K for a guy to carry the oranges?

Yeah I was being facetious. Nothing personal towards douehi but this is a horrible contract position for the tigers.
