Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

DWZ as a winger on a subsidised or low end deal is a good play. He is a solid winger and won’t improve us much to be honest. Don’t hate it don’t really like it. Squad signing I suppose.

He's not coming to make up the numbers.
He'd be a starter.

And not quite the player we need.

He is a starting caliber winger for certain. He’s dismissed a lot as he’s not a fullback but as a winger can finish and bring the ball back. He’s better than Kepoa, Jet or any other winger we have outside of Nofa. It’s a question of contract. Isaako, Gagai would be better options. Depends on cost.

Kepoa has shown he is not a winger and is more suited to centre....

I'd like to see more of Jet on the wing.

I think we are a proper centre short for 2022... we should be looking to sign a safe centre to play inside Nofo.

Winger is more of a priority than centre at the moment although we could use both.

I think we have the roster locked at

1 Laurie
2 Nofo
3
4 Douihei
5

3 and 5 open for whoever has the ability to take it.... not sure if it's Jet but it's definitely not Talau.

Plus Gildart coming?

He's no guarantee starter...
Like to see how he goes in the game before we assume he's our first string centre.

Hope no one is guaranteed anything, but doubtful they are bringing him over to work on his suntan?
Not saying we stop looking though.

I think he starts in Cup unless he really impresses early.

We'll see though.

Yes he would have to prove himself to unseat any Tigers centre at present ???

He's never played NRL m8...
He might be better than Talau though.
I'm still hoping for some real recruitment over the coming weeks and off season.

Gagai, DWZ, Isaako...

We have $$
Let's aim higher.

We need a winger right now, there's not many options.

We’re not making finals this year anyway. Would rather blood Fitzgibbon than take DWZ.

EDIT: I’d actually rather just keep JTJ on the wing.

Having not a winger on the wing will continue to hurt us as it has the entire season which has been the cause of a lot of complains

At this stage of his career JTJ is more a winger than a centre Its a shame that AJ suffered his injury his place in the centres this year could have answered a lot of questions for next year

Let's see Roberts actually tested before judging him. Dragons barely kicked at him for some reason, Penrith will go after him

I agree but we’ve seen DWZ tested and the results weren’t pleasing.

There's got to be better out there

For sure, and DWZ is on big money.

They need to sign someone and soon. We have 1 winger in our top 30 right now and most of the best wingers have been signed up. Don't see us signing a quality winger unfortunately they'll need to try find a young talent somewhere

Side note if dogs pay half then DWZ is around $350k which isn't bad really

I don’t see the urgency. Our season is toast. JAC wouldn’t help us get to the finals now.

There's urgency because everyone's being signed up even for next year. Can't wait until pre season to sign a winger gotta do it now. Someone like Tupou won't be available long

I don't quite get the reasoning behind the WT going for DWZ if it's true. I don't really see what he offers unless we're looking at outside back utility value if Mbye has lined up something and the club wants an outside back.

 

[Needaname]

Expect us to sign an outside back that we missed out on the last time he hit the market.

Gags?

We don't...
We got Nofo and Jet.

We got superstar in the making, waiting... Fifzbala.

We need a centre if anything..

 

[balmain boy]

The Bulldogs would have to chip in 600k for dwzs salary for next season for us to have any consideration. Look at him for a two year 500k deal, no guarantees, dogs chipping in 600k so it works out a total of 1.1 for 2 years, which is still overs for him.

Agreed.

Or just keep JTJ there. He’s better than DWZ

DWZ is a under performer.
Playing fullback and on fullback money when he's probably an out and out winger.

He can't pass and he's a bit simple.
Not a smart Signing.

Anyone saying otherwise should rewatch that Panthers game earlier...

Just the kind of signing the tigers like

demps it seems to be the only type of player we can attract to the club I am talking about experienced players not juniors
