Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TigerTone]

The Roosters have emerged as a busy outlet in the transfer market this week, with the signing of Copley set edge out interest in Manly duo Jorge Taufua and Tevita Funa. Robinson was also understood to be collecting a list of potential reinforcements for the remainder of the 2021 season, while is also facing the reality of losing forward Siosiua Taukeiaho to the Super League.

Poor signings.

That's what I thought. Just not the type they would normaly go for.

Of course they are....

English backs, David Bolton, Len killean. Ellery Hanly. were stars in the old Balmain side. To say there are not some quality backs in ENLAND, that would not make it here, is not realistic.

That was more than 30 years ago

The Raiders have a couple.

Carayannis reporting Vaughan to the Dogs done.

@hobbo1 told me a week ago ?‍♂️

Surely they are close to cap been full now... If not I want there salary cap guy on our books

Cap full and no decent 9..
Average fullback (dufty) unless they're going the untried JAC.

Not a very well rounded or complete roster IMO.
Definitely signed some good players though.

Just lacking that class a top 4 team displays.

How do you think we'd go next year if we managed to sign Heilum Luki from the cowboys, Smith Shields and the Senior twins from the UK? I'd say we'd be looking top 6. Minimum.

They aren't big names but they've looked decent.

Improvement on current roster but I wouldn't getting my hopes up sadly.

Have we put an offer in for Luki @tigerballs ?

Dave Bolton was 50 years ago Ellery 30 years ago and Len was a Saffer from memory.There is no doubt England has had exceptional backs but it has a many years since they have been much chop.Hopefully Gildart will be better than i expect and thrive in a stronger competition

Anyone know if it’s true that the bulldogs have signed Mavoni Tuifua?

Herbie Farnworth is a UK product. Is it his uncle who is the recruitment manager for Wigan?

Tell me it ain't so.

Yuck

Curtis Scott, really? Does he help any of our defensive woes? I don't think so. I don't rate him in attack either to be honest. I hope this is not true but it looks like it is.

Good player. Dubious person.

To be honest I don't think he's even a good player

I'm sorry

 

[avocadoontoast]

I don't give the club much credit but I don't think they'd be dumb enough to sign him. It would be ridiculous.
