Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Can't see why anyone would be upset by the Tiger's treatment of Hastings. He:
  • got upgraded. More $$$
  • got a longer deal. 1 more year to 3 more
  • gets to play preferred position. 13 -> 7
I think we did the right thing by him. I know we got Klemmer out of it, but it was definitely a win for Hastings too.

Don't mind the Woods signing.
He's depth and will likely play cup.
Get a call up when needed.

Sheens likes an experienced forward as depth- ala Ray Cashmere.

Woodsy will do a job when needed.
Don't care if he's fat and slow or yas don't like him.
Won't cost much and I truly think he'll be good to have around the club.
 
One thing we do have from our dev/pathways into top 30 squad is Props. Tuki Simpkins, Fainu. Dev players. Christian Ma'anaima, Kitione Kautoga and ahead of them is Pole, Uto, J’offa, Twal and Klemmer. Not sure if it would be train & trail for Woods.

It cant be his form. The only thing that I can put it down to is talk on the field. He has got the DNA that Sheens is keen on assembling - surrounding himself with returned ExWTs - and will be a senior player who has some history with the club who would fit the leadership role. Despite how dirty fans are at Woods it seems he is well liked in NRL circles.

If Pole loses his spot because of a Woods signing I'd be pissed.

I don't get the Woods signing. We have Klemmer, Pole, Joe O, Matamua, Stef, Twal, Blore & Seyfarth all looking for a spot in the middle for us.

I would prefer Seyfarth over Woods.

You could even add Asitasi James, Ma’anaima and Sione Fainu to the list.

We have Brooks in the halves who has struggled to make a positive impact his whole time in first grade plus two guys in Doueihi and Laurie who could have very limited first grade careers.

Surely we could use the spot for another player in a different position.

The only argument for getting him back to me is that props do get injured a lot. It's a tough position.

As long as doesn't get out ahead of the top 5 front rowers then I don't mind.

Klemmar, Stefano and Pole are definately. Twal in if Offa plays lock.


Rather Offa play front row off the bench though. Him and Pole.
