Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I’m afraid that If Cini goes, so does Tuki sometime down the track.

Really? How many people do you know who would leave their job to follow their mate. As far as I know they are not married.

Married?

Who's the back up Fullback now...?

Who's the back up Fullback now...?

If Israel Ogden is still with the club, he's an option. And the other option is Dillon although he's going to need a big pre-season in the gym.

Not sure those guys would be in the Top 30 and would have to wait till Rd 10 or so to get a run..

Hopefully Laurie stays fit or you would assume Hastings since he has played there for Wigan quite a few times this year..

Nofoaluma at fullback doesn't fill me with confidence..

Yeah well this is the thing, unless Sheens has a rabbit in his hat, we're looking very light on for backline depth next season.

Twal to fullback, that’s one from the hat from Sheens.

I’m guessing that if Laurie is injured we shuffle one of AD or Hastings, depending who else is available at the time.

Fullback options (perhaps not round one, pending fitness, but options for the season)

Laurie
Doueihi
Hastings
Kepaoa
Dillon

Not a huge amount of proven quality but a number of players who can do a job and a youngster with huge potential.

Peachey?

Peachey is an interesting one. I feel like he doesn't really like being a utility player but instead would prefer a permanent position. I wonder how we'll use him.

Probably inappropriately knowing WT. 4, 6 or 13 would be the most likely.

Has to play lock almost every week for us

 

[TigerSJ]

Peachy has to be an option at centre, lock or 14. While AD is out he will probably play lock with Hastings and Brooks in the halves. When AD returns, if the halves aren’t working then AD becomes the other half option instead of Brooks or Hastings. If they are working then AD plays centre.
I hope both Peachy and Hastings find form and AD also comes back strongly. If so we will be a much better side with more ball players and options, especially if we can pick up Hodgson and he can lead us around a bit.
Defense still will be our major concern and what we need to really overhaul.

Think that was mostly a smokescreen to be honest... he's talking about playing in the halves or off the bench. There's no reason you would sign Hastings as a lock and then sign peachey as a lock a few months later - Hastings will be pushing for a halves spot.

Agreed, Hastings and Peachy would fill similar roles in the lock position. I think Hastings really is the only choice at 6 to start the season.

AD and twal were on a sen podcast this week. Ad still keen on the 6 position. If Hastings and Brooks fire where does AD best fit in the team?
