Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If bula is seen as the real deal how come we are looking to a sign rts?

Potential VS actual proven performance.

The way you are thinking is off, a little. Having the next best thing is great, just have people around them so that they can develop and be the next best thing they can be.
RTS would be a great influence on Bula. Most definitely RTS can fit in anywhere in the backline and I don't think RTS will demand Fullback, just a fat paycheck.

I still cannot fathom there were people on here who said we shouldn't have chased Nicho Hynes when he was coming off contract 18 months ago, especially the blokes saying he was slow

Did he play any different show any improvement?

He was classy as playing for Melbourne too. Was always going to be a great buy

Sorry meant simpkins?

Tbf idk if anyone could’ve predicted Hynes to be this kind of player..... testament to himself he has been incredible lately

Actually yes.
Sure Hynes was a gun fullback/utility. Yet that he would transform into a killer Halfback was a huge surprise. Honestly a risky move, and one that paid massive dividends for the Sharks.

For the price it would cost you want that player to own a position and contribute to winshares.

I think for the price tag he would want playing RTS as a center or winger would be a waste of cash. It’s fullback or nothing from my view.

And it's still not the best

I really don’t understand why everyone makes defence so complicated. When I played you would call out who you had as did everyone else next to you. Full back wouldn’t shut up either. ITS NOT THAT HARD GUYS.

Ryan James! Get him out of retirement.

He is a weapon eh


Can literally play anywhere 1 to 7 and 9, 13, backrow. Whatever.

I wanted him.
Shame we didn't even try.

You’re kidding.

 

[Goldust]

You’re kidding.

Played pretty good today 👌

 

[Hmm]

Played pretty good today 👌

Played good but would spend 3/4 of the year on the sidelines and the other 1/4 getting fit in nsw cup. Think he’s retired anyways. Thought Naden looked good and even Simpkins off the bench for maoris

Tell that to our first grade squads of the past 23 years

Naden was great.
He’s a walk up start at centre ,just unsure which winger to pair him with,leaning towards Ken

For whoever is watching the Penrith vs Parra trial.

I really like the look of Jesse McLean will struggle to crack there squad and looks polished as a prospect could be

The simple answer is, those people don’t know footy.

I seriously believe Bellamy sunk Melbournes 2021 title defence by replacing Hynes with Paps when he came back from injury. Melbourne were setting point scoring records with Hynes at 1

Was just moved into their top 30

Agree, Naden and Ken on the left.

Tupou, Scolari, Hill, Bula, and anyone else has to start in reserves and play well enough to take the position of Ken. All of them will benefit from a stint in reserves to work on their game.
