Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What about Faitala-Mariner as an option. We don’t look like Frizell is a chance, maybe RFM could be good for us.

That name should be banned from this forum - absolute germ of a bloke.

I understand the success he has built but will never have any respect for a man like that. Took us back 5 years easily.

We would do the same thing if the opportunity
arose for our sons & family. It wouldn't have sat
right, and if he's honest with himself probably
still doesn't but sometimes you have to do what
You have to do. I harbour no ill will 2ward ivan

His career has been injury riddled and underwhelming thus far so he fits our profile.

I keep reading that they will transition him to the backrow because of his height (assuming he fills out).
Seems to play pretty good in the halves though.

Is there a height restriction on halves?

Just watched the interviews of our NRLW girls after their win. It was great to see their unwavering enthusiasm and absolute joy to win. They have a real bond of friendship amongst them as well it seems -pleasure to watch.
It’s that type of a vibe we need to build with our developing junior players. The group needs to want to play for each other, and at the same time it needs to be made up of players that have leadership qualities and are fiercely competitive. This is the stuff that makes premiership teams.

Playing with confidence makes a big difference.

Not interested in hearing about signing anymore forwards, Backs are what we need to improve,
Haven’t heard any serious whispers about any outside backs
lately which is worrying. Even a couple of new half’s won’t be enough if we don’t get a couple of centre’s (tall & fast) sick of converted backrowers playing in our backline.

Have benji and scott stopped fighting?

I thought we might have heard of a swap deal with Manly by now for TT. I would have loved to bring the brothers over and give a game or 2 for experience before the season ends.

If we are being honest, not many of these potential halves signings give the impression they are anywhere near as good as Luke Brooks.
It remains to be seen how much of an immediate impact young Latu Fainu can have, but he will need a very hands on, strong leader type of 7 alongside him that’s for certain.

So you are saying it’s damn lucky Brooks is going? Becuse Brooks had done none of those things for 11 years

I suspect in the long run effectively swapping Brooks and Talau for the Fainu boys will go down as a huge heist.

All these other clubs are doing releases now but US we seem to just sit on our hands , we are hopeless , and Fulton the wonder boy is f****** useless , if this was not done

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I feel it is the calm before a storm of signings & re-signings, hopefully Stef extending, halves recruits, an exceptional centre & maybe a few nice surprises amongst them.

Liam Knight from the Bunnies, released from his contract to join the Dogs immediately. The kennel must be pretty full .. !!

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

think stef will end up at Bondi in 2025 if we dont make the semis in 2024 it triggers a release

Haha it's gonna be alright BP. I'm not worried
what others are doing mate. Slow & steady!

Let's worry about that next year bro. He really
loves the club anyway. They treat him like a prince.
I'm hoping he'll extend with us soon with $ bump

Taafe going to Bulldogs. Tigers in box seat for Sullivan.

I wouldnt have said no to Taafe but i think someone like Sullivan would be a good fit for us, still young and has the game to unlock the red zone. Could potentially be a long term 6 or 7 option for us along side Fainu, it’s all there for him if he wants to make the most of his opportunity. Added bonus is a goal kicker although I don’t know enough about that side of his game to comment.
