Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Can we have a go at getting one of these two props both of there clubs are going struggle to pay them top money and from whispers Souths can not match what Tatola is chasing.

Moeaki Fotuaika or Tevita "Junior" Tatola​

Tatola won't be going anywhere.

 

[balmain boy]

the bloke has played one game of NSW Cup. one. he is extremely raw and there is something worth persisting with but to think he is anywhere near NRL level you need your head read, and if you're going to compare him to a grand final winner and tryscorer in Staines then that's even worse.

Ngutlik needs considerable time developing in Cup before we even consider blooding him in first grade. his injury came at a very unfortunate time in his development but thankfully he's still on the books. top 30 would be a pipe dream at this stage.

if there is one position we are short on in the pathways, it is on the wing. he can most definitely fill that void, but it will be sometime before he can be considered for regular first grade. in the meantime, Staines is perfect as our second string fullback and winger. he is proven, Ngutlik is not.

But would Staines stay for 250-300k? Can't pay a backup winger more than that, even if they play at fullback occasionally.

I doubt if the clowns that run our club are in the same library let alone on the same page.Complete idiots

They thought they were in the book repository, but instead they ended up getting a suppository.

This mob are always copping it in the arse.

I'd have him first choice right winger, ahead of Nofa. But that means we'd be paying Nofa more than that to be a back up winger.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Stain’s would be a great backup for fullback and winger if we get any injuries.

 

[hank37w]

Agree, but I don't know if he would want to stay to be a back up and then comes the perennial issue of how much can to pay someone to be a back up.

Seems like the club is sealed very quiet these days. Good thing I suppose

I would think next week we might hear about some extensions as Sheen's mention this Bye round they plan to look at some players etc..

I hope to hear about Tupou, Stef, Bula (But as he was only extended when upgrading they might wait until next year), To'a, Staines and Brooks on a lower deal especially if we cannot get another experienced half (Not much out there and he is starting to play better).

Didn't bula commit to a further 2 years about a fortnight ago

Yes that's why I think next year they will look to upgrade and extend if he keeps going the way he is.
Doing this early will help retain him and show him some faith before clubs like Roosters come poaching.

 

[Kaito]

Bula will sign extension nxt yr, franchise player 👌🏼

 

[jadtiger]

Sheens “we will be very active in recruiting in the bye week”

Wests Tigers - sign four chicks 🐣

Sheens probably thinks they have been signed to make his lunch

 

[tigerap]

Hope we offer him a contract till at least end 2027...that will keep the Gould's and Politis's away from him

 

[tigerap]

Something must be brewing at Concord. Releasing Joe, reduced contract for Brooks (reportedly), offered Moses $1.4M that we still have... That's what they colloquially call a war chest.

And now that the board have stopped the leaks, we have no idea what the big move may be. I guess we just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Yep...the Pom and CCTW have not posted here for months now....and ever since I didn't renew Pascoe has stopped "talking" to me....

100 percent, I reckon this kid on his trajectory will be the face of league for 10 - 15 years if he stays fit. He is a generational talent. Whoever it was who brought him to training should be given the key to Sydney.

Well I’m really really surprised at that.
The braindead clowns that use this topic as a idle chatter vehicle have well and truly got their wish.

 

[Spartan117]

I am quite proud of the Club / Management for locking down the chat around the inside workings and potential deals.

Very happy to know that we are finally truly getting things done professionally.

Looking forward to the next signing, Im sure that it will a Statement after letting fan favourite Joffa go.

From what I can gather, Trey Peni contacted Warren McDonnell and asked if Jahream could trial at the club and the rest is history.

 

[Hbom]

I know someone in the know, will drop hints but will not give anything specific. I respect that, and will not push it. It is clear the system is in place to discourage the leaks, which is good.

 

[tigers4ever 0]

Can you pass some of those hints on to us please 🙏

 

[crazycat]

Offa not having a great year and Parra really want him so fine but I'm sick of helping out other clubs and getting NOTHING in return would could really use a center and /or a playmaker so Mr Brad Arthur do a deal Penesini ? Simonson ? Dunster ? or your son ?
We don't give without getting

Oddly, Jake Arthur to sign with Manly?
Which is very surprising as I know many coaches want to coach their offspring. I guess Brad Arthur realises that Jake's development would be hampered at Parramatta if his exposure is Brad Arthur alone.
