Staines to full back,Bula is at least 1-2 years away from first grade imho

There's a kid playing half for the Ashfield Primary under 11's that I have high hopes for.

if staines keeps getting the montoya treatment every game he’s at 1 he may become immune to it… good call 👀

 

[BrendonWT]

He’s missing an arm from elbow down but has good hussle

he has speed tho so he’ll be our 7 for the next 10 years

Patrick Herbert wouldn't be a bad buy in the centres..

 

[AdelaideTiger]

I'm pretty happy we didn't get Moses. The big question is do we target a fullback or a halfback or both.

Fullback seems like the more plausible upgrade

A guy who was shipped on from 3 Clubs not quite as poor as WT's?
Um - Yeah he would....

Alright back onto the subject of signing suggestions, if we miss out on MM which is probably likely, it doesn't leave us many organising halfback options from the NRL so do we look at Super League with George Williams (big transfer fee likely), Mitchell Pearce or Aidan Sezer (the latter 2 for max 2 seasons) or what are everyone thoughts on the following options who have links with the Club ...

- Joseph O'Neill (Bulldogs JF captain & former Westfields student so Wayne Lambkin would know him well, long term option) ... what is his game style like?
- Tane Edmed (Waratahs flyhalf, obviously with family links back to the Tigers, money could lure him back)

Appreciate feedback on these 2 from those who have seen them play a fair bit?

I assume you mean easier to get. I reckon you are right if that is the case. The problem is our halves really haven't been very good.

Halfback has to be priority. We don't have one at the club

Unless Wakeham makes it but it doesn't seem likely. It'd be great if he did.

I reckon Staines could do the job at fullback. Who knows AD might show something this time around as well.

I reckon we can fill the fullback or 6 spot though. The 7 spot has been a problem for years on end.

Isn't it interesting how many of these fake news propagate from someone's thought bubble/"I heard it through the grapevine" to the undisputable facts?🤔

It's on the SMH now so it's a done deal.

Mate - Look at the dialogue and reserve grade games....
Barring injury, Bula will be fullback before the end of the year

- Already listed in the NRL list on the club site.

Nicely worded from them....
It's a 5 year extension.

He hadn't triggered any contract for next year.
And if he did, He didn't do it for the 900 ish he's on now.

Wonder how Nathan Brown feels about being pushed out by his mates greed?

I haven't seen him but several people have stated that the club really likes him and he has special talent. It's still though a big step up to first grade and players don't make it all the time.

It doesn't change my perspective though. We have more options at fullback than at halfback.

WE'RE STUCK WITH BROOKS FOREVER !

Nofa for Pezet let’s speak it into existence

Both parties would do the deal I believe, we need a 7 and Pezet looks really solid
