Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Guest]

Might want to put a line thru Fitzy. Have heard of an off-field related matter.

That'll pretty much do it everytime...

 

[tiger05premier]

The fall out from the Saints debacle will be interesting and the action they take Zac Lomax would be a good pick up if he became avaiable

Jaydn Sua tossing up between WT and Dragons. He could be here next week!


That would be a great get, potentially as good as TPJ without some of the baggage and probably a lot cheaper. Probably the type of player to pay slightly overs to get. Young impact player

Missed him! Dragons offered ridiculous money, probably out of desperation.

So who is next on the recruitment list?

Milford, Woods and Dugan ?

Wrong thread

That belongs in dad humour

Lucky we’ve got Vodkaluma.

He announced he wasn't playing anymore this year. I thought maybe the comp got canceled or he was injured but that wouldn't be good.

‘Nofa is slow’ seems to be one of the biggest myths on here I’ve ever heard

I don’t think he’s JAC, but I can’t recall the guy ever getting run down, has scored plenty of tries from 20+ out

He’d be above average speed for a modern day winger


Fast feet, slow between the ears.

If you put the 32 wingers in a sprint over 60 metres ...Nofa is in the bottom 10 .....


If you put 32 wingers, in a sprint, over 60m all running at Nofa, he would still find a way of getting caught 3m inside ALL of them.

Hands on hips ...indignant ....and looking for his phone to text his knockers on Insta .....


Yelling at the A's & B's

He wouldn't know who the A's and B's were ...just remembered Madge talking about it .....

He wouldn't get past D in the alphabet if you asked him

Thoughts on Braidon Burns for us?.

Trying to find his IQ off the field?

We might have HSS. I think it's pretty close. The Jaydn Sua thing, we were close and he was very interested. Many thought it was a done deal with WT but St George upped the anti. I suppose you can do that when you're punting a 750k front rower. They won the Desperation stakes.

we need to sign another winger. Kepaoa has shown that he's far better at centre, Talau is slower than a wet week and we all know about Nofoaluma. Isaac Lumelume would be one I'd be looking at. well and truly down the pecking order at Melbourne and a far better option than what we have in our top 30 right now besides Maumalo. yes we have Fitzgibbon and Gebbie on the books but both of them are a long way away from being NRL standard.

I am sorry we did not get Pengai, but obviously the club set it's limits on his value, as it should. We do have a very promising forward pack, that may eventually be a very good pack,but our biggest problem is exactly what your getting at,
our lack of speed;;;; Outside of Brooks and a still learning Laurie, we are too slow compaired to other sides. Gildart may add some attacking flair, and Hastings will help, but we need at least another three fast backs to be competative.

M'Bye, Liddle and Roberts are pretty quick in their own right, but I do agree with you. Nofoaluma isn't quick at all, Doueihi isn't either and we're about to sign Jackson Hastings as a 6, who is incredibly slow. Gildart looks reasonably quick, but apart from him and Laurie, our first choice back 5 next year looks slow as. I don't think this backline is out of the question though, moving forward.

1 Laurie
2 Fitzgibbon
3 Smith-Shields
4 Gildart
5 Maumalo
6 Doueihi
7 Brooks
14 Hastings

All Fitzgibbon needs to do is stay on his wing and he is already better than nofo

Fitz struggles with high ball too

He struggles with the high ball, low ball, medium ball, grubber, chip, drop kick, spiral, floater....anything that involves catching a ball.

He’s crap, people get caught up in highlights packages forgetting that the other 99% of the time is Ron Massey stuff

Anyways sounds like he’s left the club based off his Instagram

U not watched any KOE ? He improves every game mate

Any other players we’re keen on other than HSS?

They have a very good forward pack next year and they must of been desperate as we are right at the top of that list.. I would think that rules them out of the TPJ sweepstakes and leave the Dogs..
Thanks for the update mate

Good player. I thought he'd be a good signing for us a few years ago but has since had a pretty terrible run of injuries.

Exactly. Johnston didn’t look like running him down at any point last week.

Liddle, Nofa, Roberts, Brooks, and Mbye are all very quick. Problem is they don’t have the fitness or desire to follow each other and back one another up.

Watch what happened on the weekend when Cook runs the ball. Then watch what happens when Liddle does it.

Nof would be the first bloke I cut from the team.
Not because of speed or bad defensive options(which he makes plenty of).
But when the chips are down a champion gets up and keeps going and pumps the boys around him up.
This bloke points fingers and takes no ownership.
Not the type of person to help turn this mess around.
He’s part of the problem not the solution.

Ava seumanufagai re signs for 2 more years with the dogs.

 

[weststigerman]

Tom Starling would be a good get if they can get him away from the raiders. Off contract 22.

Not injury prone enough for us

But we’d replace him with another winger who would look bad because our edges are like paper mache. He shouldn’t have called out his teammates publically but he was 100% correct.

Where is Allan Fitzgibbon going???

If he goes on to become something imma be pissed.
