Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The thing with Teddy is, he is a superb athlete, super fit, and could play 5/8 or anywhere in the backllne, or even an edge forward and still kill it. I think he will finish his career at the Roosters, and as one of the best that has played for the club, they will take good care of him.

For sure. Can’t see Roosters ever letting him leave. He is just too good.
The back end of Mini’s career was at Roosters. They are very much alike.

I don't mind the Brown signing-
Just hope his body is up to it.

There was whispers he's cooked.

8 Klemmer
9 Api
10 Offa
11 Bateman
12 Papalii
13 Brown

14 Blore
15 Pole
16 Twal
17 Utoikamanu

Talau, Marama- up next.

Talau on the bench for one of them, he covers back row and also the centres and wing

There is a belief that the NRL will allow all contracted players to play from round 1 with concerns of player burnout after the World Cup.

I would be even more worried if Smith was called upon for round 1 due to RLWC burnout.

I posted something about a week ago or less about how Woods was being sought after however there was hesitance as there might be other options they wish to explore for a top 30 spot

I think we now know who that other option is…. I think both Bateman and Brown will be here next year and hopefully Brown and Papalili can get in Moses’s ear too for next year

To organise third-party deal(s) (if applicable) and allocate the amount of cash required to attract Moses, takes time and planning. This has been very good planning from WTs even if it does not get up but I have the view the club would have an answer. It would have to with the amount of cap space required to be allocated from 2024.

Tigers going after Nathan brown does that mean they missed out on Bateman?

They were going after Brown at the same time as Bateman.

Brown would be great and let’s face it, would be in our top 17.

Imagine having an older hard head like him off the bench? Delicious.

Nom nom nom.

Arriba!

To add to your post, Shawn Blore did his ACL then basically apologised to the fans. Asked them to stick with him. What a stand-up guy.

Tedesco should take a few pointers from this bloke. A few years too late though.

The best hooker ever to play the game…….bar none.

I'd have him behind Benny. Both great players but Benny had to win scrums and contested PTB's as well.

Perfect sign to be placed above the Morro toilets at LO.

"Let's go to Brown Town.....sorry folks the soap machine is down"

Who plays the 14 utility role? as I don’t see Api playing 80 minutes every game.

 

[hugh1954]

Brown is another Tamou signing taking up a space... Not for me

 

[Camel2281]

Jake Simpkin? He could be our Mitch Kenny, relieve lock and hooker

 

[Fade.To.Black]

What a conundrum. Suaalii comes across as a bit of a mercenary. I could see him going to European or Japanese Rugby for huge dollars for a few years and still being young enough to command big bucks back in the NRL.

Suualii has learnt his mercenary trade behind one of the best at it, The Turdburger.

Rua? Simpkin?

 

[SeanT]

Or Manu.....

Manu for sure

 

[Tito Santana]

Rua? Simpkin?

Rua,

Looks good.

He is getting forgotten about on.

 

[barnzee]

Rua,

Looks good.

He is getting forgotten about on.

Didn’t do much in the World Cup

Was mentioned a while back that the Nathan Brown signing would be also a player swap with Jake Simpkin .

Would make sense because the eels don’t have a backup dummy half to no knees Hodgson .

Jake has limited opportunities here

 

[liltiger]

Or Manu.....

I'd take either

There’s no way that I would ever help out Parramatta, they got a player that has bungee knees so they can suffer for offering unders to their better players.
Stuff Parra.
