Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Cini played well in nsw cup
Just lost all confidence after being dropped
Wouldn't be opposed to have him on a nsw cup deal

Lost confidence? His 2nd game was the worst game I have seen in nrl which happened before he was dropped. It was nothing about confidence he just couldn’t handle the pace of the nrl this year

Says a lot about this club and what it has done to its fans that people are talking up the idea of signing a 33 year old Naiqama as an upgrade/positive.

Why do we do this to ourselves? I mean, the only place that today is ‘signing day’ is in this forum. We create the story, follow it, turn it into a truth and then get pissed at the club when nothing happens! It’s like a plot line in Squid Games it’s so self damaging.
Today is the 1st November. Just like the tigers the sun is trying to shine. Just like the Tigers it doesn’t look like they’ll be any sun to warm us today.

But I’m hearing 48 hours…..

When have we ever signed a player a year in advance? There was Stef and Laurie, but they were rookies. We’ve never signed a gun player a year in advance. We could sign Papali’i, but even that could be a drawn out process... if it even happens.

But then, surprise twist, come the start of the season we realise we have a star in Oli G.
In fact if Oli G has not cemented a centre position by round 5, I will ban myself from the forum.

We need to stay patient. Keep the faith. We have cap space and Hartigan is gone. We will sign good players. The club will turn it around.

That's what i'm afraid of.

9:45am and still no signing news. Worst Christmas Ever

I liked Kev when he was here, but strange signing now if it happens.

Good for ressies and depth at a good team.

Gotta be a Major Step up from Pauga, Cini and Kei at the very least...

I don’t know. I’d be keen to see Cini get a go at centre in the trials. Similar to AJ Kepaoa he can’t catch a high ball when playing in the back three, but at centre there won’t be many bombs come his way. From what I’ve seen, I can see enough of a footballer in him that I think he could end up a solid/safe centre option while we await the return of Talau/Doueihi.

Yeah.... Naa.....

From what i have seen of Gildart i would put his defence at the same level as Kevvie=completely nonexistent.Gildart hopefully can only improve under Madge as he is younger,Kevvie is beyond help in defence

Hastings talked about him in recent podcast. He's been hampered by injury last couple of years. Be4 that was best centre in England.

They are well aware that not many England backs make it in nrl.

Apparently he's been told to put on size.

 

[9 is the new 8]

My gut feel is Koro to dogs

How could they afford him with their salary cap problems at the moment ???

I don’t rationally have an explanation. Just a thought that won’t go away.

Isn't he leaving the Wobbiblies to play club Rugby in Japan as his family are there?

Could be wrong. Would love him back

the worry is whether or not he can get back to his 2017-18 form. if he can't I think it's going to be very difficult for him to find a spot in first grade. going to need to bulk up big time and have a massive pre-season.

Yep it's a massive challenge for him.

I watched him closely before he got injured and when he first arrived as an international player.He was very underwhelming then,don't get me wrong like everyone on here i am hoping for a positive transformation when he wears our colours but am far from optimistic.

I doubt anything from any club will happen until at least December.

Does pre-season start today? If not, when does that start?

I was once a believer now I am but a dreamer living in the land of hope and evan hope is in short supply

The 15th I believe.
