Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lee's fedora]

What about tom amone at lock and rotate with mikeale? If were gonna be stuck with brooks we need to move him to 6 and Hastings 7 brooks just has to run nothing else Hastings will take care of the rest I don't rate tuki simpkins I feel he needs more time in Reggie's so drop him out and have musgrove on bench and sign Billy mags or Mark nicholls

Amone isn’t up to it.

>
He was the only one giving it a crack on the weekend running hard and hitting hard he has heart and guarantee if we let him walk and tears it up everyone will complain we should of signed him

I agree, the same as Twal, the only bloke who thinks Twal is a lock is Madge

We need a new player to hope for....What about Ryan James for a cheaper option for a big front rower

So people on here keep rating Ogden and Dillon as close to the two best of our undefeated Flegg team and Dillon may have gone. Ogdens manager is talking to Qld clubs. Let me get this this straight .We are not buying established players because we are concentrating on player development.
Arguably our two best Flegg players could be signing elsewhere.
I find this incredible . Can’t we even sign our own best young players. Surely this can’t be happening. Who is responsible for this if true ( and it appears likely)? We have plenty of money. Please explain?

We have some very good young players. Besides the two you have mentioned, these players are worth watching

Jordan Hill - wing/fullback
Brandon Tumeth - second row
Fonua Pole - prop
Sione Tupou - prop
Liam Scolari - wing
Kade Hill - halfback
Iverson Fuatimau - centre

I would love if that summer league idea came into fruition this year

Would live to see a few games of our jersey flegg players absolutely carving up the comp

You rate any other young guns man?

I have done a bit of research and a young man who goes very hard is Aden Perry. He comes across as a bit mad which I don’t mind at all and he gives 110% every time I’ve watched him.

If we have trouble attracting big names then let’s at least back our younger ones who we know what we are going to get each game.

Part of the reason why we did well in JF this season was because we had quite a few who have a real go (& of course Chops who brought these guys together well). For all the talent we had, we did let in a few easy draws but overall, this squad we had were really goers.

Trying to find highlights for Dillon and others.

How old is he the Adam fella?

I think 21?

For those wanting a Friday pick me up I present Herman Tofaeono. The Qld-U18 prop we've signed from Keebra.

Here's some of his highlights playing for Keebra. Looks like a raging bull with those barnstorming runs.

I watched the first half of Keebra v Palm Beach Currumbin yesterday and sure enough in his first two touches he made a 40m bust and a 30m bust

https://www.instagram.com/p/CSBxgitBAab

Don't know if we can embed Insta video like we can YT??

He also seems to have a bit of swagger. He's been selling his own 'Herman Hustle' merch for a few years now.

Looks to be quite the pickup, and his defence was also good. Hustled in cover defence well.

Mavoni who?

He's not super tall, so like a Moi Moi his lower centre of gravity and chunky legs make him hard to stop when he gets going and keeps those legs pumping.

Gee Wiz he is a giant for a under 18 player. Is this 100% locked in as we would not expect our club to announce this to fans.. Hope so

Looks good against boys half his size .. but you have to get in the picture with these young guys you never know what you might get.

 

[TigerTone]

nice to see he isnt a forward who just runs into
the line but also looks to go around it into the gaps.
It means he uses what he has between his ears.
Well spotted and a good pick-up for our team.

True but you can only play whats in front of you and with time and development with a good work ethic he could be a good player. Fingers crossed anyway.

Im worried if tigers are truly pursuing Thompson from the dogs on Marquee money.

Not gonna end well.

I don't know any Club that announces individual Jersey Flegg signings.. you may get snippets here and there..

Just like this year you will get Squad Announcements at the beginning of the season...that's about it..

Anyhow this kid looks good..

I agree; always a challenge with young forwards is how much of their dominance is size/age-dependent. They are all monsters compared to their age group, but grown seasoned footballers are something altogether different.

When I was 15 the U16 team ahead of me at school had some really big kids and they were favourites to win the GF. One of the kids was Andrew Lomu who ended up playing about 90 matches for Roosters, Sharks and Raiders. He was already about adult size as a 16 year-old and was a schoolboy weapon because he was also fast.

However they came up against Marcellin Randwick in the Grand Final and Randwick had this kid who was an absolute axe. Apparently he was in the State Reps (Combined Catholic Schools), and I never did find out his name, but the kid was a weapon in defence. And we sent up our big boys and this kid from Randwick chopped them all in half repeatedly inside 15 minutes. I'll never forget it, I've never seen such a group of big strong boys dominated by one shoulder. Randwick ended up winning that GF.

Lomu ended up making it in firsts, also one kid Nelson Lomi played a few games for the Roosters, the rest of them did not make it to firsts. It was so illustrative of what can happen when a big kid who dominates his age group meets someone who is strong and can tackle.

Why do we resign players who’ve had only 1 good year like LB & DN
We should be resigning players who have been consistent for minimum 2 years & not doing a Hayne or Milford
These 1 year wonder resignings have to stop

Understand that and I was just been a little sarcastic as we don't seem to sign 1st grade players and signing news like this goes a long way for us supporters. I know he would not be playing 1st grade for a while but still something to get excited about.

 

[weststigerman]

With the ACL reco for AD, he’ll likely miss the first 8-9 rounds.

Do we sign a half for the short term? There are a few experienced options that could be worth a lifeline 1 year contract.

I wholeheartedly agree. Perry and Sykes. Cam Murray prototypes!
