Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think these two and trying to develop a couple of halves over the next couple of seasons is our best bet.

Well, our only bet when we can't convince anyone to come.

There is a Manly player the club is chasing but its not Sipley and its not Schuster.
Edit: Manly is not letting our target go at this stage and he has 2years to go on his Contract

Not having a crack, but saying we're chasing a Manly player after getting Fulton, but we may never hear because they won't release, is pretty close to impossible to disprove.

Pretty specific on Contract terms, others have guessed it. Lets just see how things pan out.

Ha ha. Fair enough. Maybe I should read better.

Sheensy talked em up massively in pre season too....

Probably before he saw em play 🤔

Was always ‘he’s killing it at training’

🤷

Can't even force his way into the team....
Ah well, might wear his Tigers shorts whilst contracted to the roosters or something.

Has to be either Fainu or Koula you're referring to.

We'll probably get Zac Fulton instead.

Most teams put up a bomb, and maybe 3 or 4 players follow it to the possible catcher with at least one going up to contest the ball, our players maybe 2 run toward the catcher with an occasional 1 player contesting.

Also we have a terrible team when it comes to backing up our own runners, yesterday one of our forwards breaks the line and runs 50 looking for support and only finds one player near him,
he spots him but 5 mtrs behind and he gets tackled an loses ball, and that player trying to support him was another forward, where was any of our fast backs to try and finish the move off.

AND WE HAVE THIS HAPPEN REGULARLY, FORWARDS MAKE THE BIG BUST AND OUR SPEEDSTERS ARE NOT IN THE PICTURE.

Still think he offers more than Seyfarth for us.

To be fair, it was our fast player that put the forward through the hole only to get drilled by the opposition fullback for his trouble.

Haven't heard anything about Simpkin and Penrith, but I suspect it has more to do with Api playing origin and needing to back up. If Api picked up a knock, Da Silva would've likely come in.

I know some are worried about blooding Da Silva early, but I'd rather he played 20 off the bench than doing an Elijah Taylor at dummyhalf scenario if Api was out.

This is my pet hate. It's like they have no anticipation of what might happen.

miles better than Seyfarth… offered nothing last night

When you say another 2 years, does that mean contract finishes end of 24 or 25?

He has offered nothing all year, just isn’t at NRL level.

I’d love to see a 50m race between Wakeham, Hastings & Douehi.

Should we wait until Douehi’s ACL is fixed? 😜

25

Doueihi would beat the other 2 even with the ACL injury.

I’d love to know what Seyfarth does wrong.
He regularly made 2-3 tackles on a row last night. He never misses a tackle and was on the field when the Raiders had most of the ball, so had little opportunity in good attacking field position.
His hit ups were strong without being spectacular, but he was also regularly a support runner, something most of our forwards do not offer.
He is a much better player than many other regular NRL bench players and is now approaching his prime.
The Warriors wanted him and I can assure you he will be picked up by a rival NRL club and will definitely be a regular in the NRL top 17 wherever he goes if we don’t keep him.
Anyone who watches much of the KOE Cup can clearly see Seyfarth, Blore and James are all in the top tier of fringe forwards across the NRL. They are all young enough to keep improving and are extremely valuable players on bottom end contracts.
