Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hank37w]

Not enough money in the Leagues club to pay the bloke.

The Irishman would be great to get over here.

He could get us a 2 billion dollar subsidy from the Feds and as far as top 30 spots go, he has shown that he can get rid of people.

Never mind whether it is done legally or otherwise.

Membership numbers wouldn't drop either because no one would get a refund.

Top Team:-
1. Jahream Bula
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Starford To’a
4. Junior Tupou
5. New signing - Staines or St George kid
6. Latu Fainu
7. Jayden Sullivan
8. Stefano Utoikamanu
9. Apisai Koroisau (c)
10. David Klemmer
11. Isaiah Papali'i
12. John Bateman
13. Fonua Pole

14. Tallyn Da Silva
15. Kit Laulilii -- just a guess on my part
16. Alex Twal
17. Shawn Blore


Forwards:-
18. Justin Matamua
19. Brandon Mansfield
20. Brandon Tumeth
21. Sione Fainu
22. Alex Seyfarth
23. Samuela Fainu
Hookers/Halves/Utilies:-
24. Lachlan Galvin
25. Aden Sezer
26. Adam Doueihi
Outside Backs:-
27. Triston Reilly
28. Brent Naden
29. Josh Feledy
Not signed:-
30. Alex Seyfarth

I think we need to sign Seyfarth because our back-up forward depth is horrible. I think the back-up outside backs are pretty good and Sezer as a back-up utility is good.

We really should be signing the best winger in the comp and that player should be a game breaker but we'll get Staines or another kid.

Does anyone really think that squad is a top 8 squad. The top team is full of development players.

In all seriousness I think the following players are the only guys who are established first graders:-
Nofo, Api, Klemmer, Bateman, IP and Twal.

You like Seyfarth SO much he takes 2 spots! Value! Halve his contract value!

Nah, if he became a board member of an NRL club he would be a rorter for sure.

IMHO, Bula >>> Sailor, so unless we get Papenhousen, Walsh, Tedesco, Manu, Suaalii or TT, Bula stays at the FB.

I would add drink water to that list

Look how far Latrell has fallen! 😀

People got to be realistic we our not getting any of the gun fullbacks , but we could grab a young bloke looking for a chance to play 1st grade , moving bula to centre gives him another arrow in his amour, we need a X factor, salior gives us that , not saying bula is no a good fullback but he is better suited to centre than salior would be , two guns better than ONE

Leave Bula at 1 and let Sullivan play centre.

 

[gregjm87]

The rumor is that he wants to go back to England and I assume have a limited pre-season. Is that acceptable ?

My expectations are that he performs considerably better than what he has and no player should be given excuses based on the players around them.

Contractually yes, his 6 weeks off begin after the test matches

 

[Oldman]

Heard a whisper the club is looking into Corey Oates. Pretty sure Benji played with him at Brisbane too.

Newcastle and Dolphins will be monitoring him as well.

Another SLOW back I don’t think we need.

Given he's paying test matches in October and would then be on holidays it would probably be standard for him to start preseason in January, and most international players will be in the same boat.

Good news Rua moving on, was worried it would be Simpkin.

Need to move Mansfield on now imo, pay out Douiehi for next year and we have some room to move.

IMO Oates and Olam like for like in a way. Thought Olam played well on the weekend. Would probably rather him just because we have a bit more depth on the wing but either would be a benefit I think.

Seyfarth, Staines and either Olam or Oates and we may be in line for not winning a third straight spoon….

You know who I missed. Asu Kepaoa. I think I'm trying to push him out to give us another spot.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Move on AD for 2024 and sign him in train and trial 2025

Try and bring in Olam and maybe Oates

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Please no to Oates. I think he is on his last legs injury wise

 

[PabloX]

Please no to Oates. I think he is on his last legs injury wise

We already have Nofa

28 and before SOO his form was great.
Will do the hard yards which we need big time.

Just hope he doesn’t come at the cost of Staines.

Oates and Staines on the wing would be a very nice combo.

I Think he. Would be a good hooker backup, behind Api

That’s how many reserve graders we have, it’s hard d to remember them all. Flippers is the worst, can’t catch, can’t bowl, can’t bat, can’t run fast and can’t cement a position. Please rid our team of all these reserve graders.

Oats is not in bronco team due to injuries and not being nimble enough , Darren Lockyer made the comments in an interview
