Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Simpkin

Hopefully we can & create room to resign Staines. Then recruit a solid hooker on a T&T contract to depth behind Api & TDS. Maybe a Cade Cust or Nathaniel Roache type who Fulton knows all too well.

I think Benji would want to recruit a bench utility too who can relieve Api & cover other positions too while TDS builds reps in Cup. Karl Lawton perhaps??? But again we would need to create another spot.

No brainer for me but of course the Tigers for reasons that are inexplicable want to keep Nofa.

Extend Staines, keep Blore and ship Nofa off to wherever would be the ideal, imo.

They've reportedly tried. Can't ship him off if there are no takers.

Surely takers in Super League if we chip in some $$$. Stroke his ego by saying he would instantly become a top 10 player in SL and get him on board.

Our soon to be highest paid player in the NRL is Luai
.... unless Panthers can lift their offer considerably which seems very unlikely

 

[Krammy]

Where Would that leave Staines?

I think we need Olam and Staines. Our centre depth is so poor. Olam may turn into a BJ, but I don't think so. BJ was overweight and lazy. I have not seen Olam like this. Olam's confidence may be low after being dropped and a new start may be good. My concern is if her is carrying an injury that is affecting his performance.

Anyone heard anything on a Douehi to Panthers rumour?

Api, TDS, Sullivan, matamua all capable of Playing 9…if we loose Simpkin a winger/centre would be priority

Missed the joke mate.

Why would they when he isn't even due back until at least mid season...

Matamua seems too tall to be a hooker....

6. Sullivan
6. Fainu
6. Luai
7. Sezer

A lot of money in the 5/8 spot...

He isn’t Panthers material lol

Only thing I could imagine is if tigers basically pay most of his salary and they essentially get a low $ player to help with the cap and we free up a roster spot - and thats a stretch

 

[tigertragic]

That ship has sailed.

Yep, and it was a dumb decision

Could be 6, 7 & 14

That would make zero sense for all involved

Cap is going up and it makes sense given how sparse the market will be of good halves over the next couple of years

Why is everyone so against AD?
I know he’s not brilliant but i like him.
At least see how he comes back from his injury

I'll answer for myself. I rated him the guy who was going to lead us up the ladder and he had the skills to be a real good running 6. Then I saw him miss so many tackles, play inconsistently all the while having minimal impact to the team. On top of this he was talking himself up as captain and he has been earning a big income and not delivering.

Now I see a guy who can belt it up at times really well and he has a good passing game especially left to right but apart from that he has very little positives to his game.

I'm not sure where you play him because at this point he simply isn't a well rounded footy player.
