Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

Surely has to be Bradman Best. Seems to fit- best target in FA, position in need of upgrading, rising STAR player. Forget the position.

Katoni Staggs, Herbie Farnworth and even the young replacement Bronco's centre, Deine Mariner, are imo all far superior to Best.

I know what it is. Im almost certain

Who you thinking???

 

[Kelce68]

Thats all it can be imo, just dont know how that ties in with the young halves we have locked away, im not a huge fan of Luai i think he'll be a shadow of himself with out Cleary.
In saying all that we desperately need to nab a marquee player or we will never end this rut.

Neither particularly, but he's done a lot without people realising it. He's now been a three time premiership winning five eighth and won an origin series at five eighth.

Also, apparently, Panthers have a win rate of 88.5% with Luai (77 wins, 9 losses), whilst it drops heavily without him 53.8% (7 wins, 6 losses). Its a better ratio than with/without Cleary (apparently) . He is most definitely not the better player, but goes alright as main play maker in his absence by these numbers.

May be the Sezer replacement if true. Interesting to see if there's anything to it..

 

[Flippedy]

No name, says he cant
All I got is that he will be the highest paid player in the game
..... and it’s not Sam Walker

Not really interested in something that may or may not happen in 2025, what about next season? We need a big fish NOW not in 2 years.

Luai actually brings all of ingredients we need - leadership, energy, x-factor & good D. He would be a great mentor & foil for Latu Fainu in the halves too.

Earlier in the year I mentioned this stat. I said Luais' win % was 80 though.. to see it's closer to 90 is insane

Ezra

It was mentioned by @teddy23 12 months ago that we were looking at Ezra Mam & then our old friend @THE_POM posted back in March we would be looking at him when off-contract. Remember Benji has always been the one identifying players he wants.

Regardless on whether or not Luai could help bring the team on field success or not, 90% of our fans main gripe with Pascoe and Hagi is due to them being too self indulged.
Based on that how would our judge fans accept Luai ?

 

[Garrry]

Word is he’s not top money worthy but it is I guess the premium we pay for our 10 year clown show

Hey Curly narrow it down and ask your contact is the player a forward or a back ? From a qld or Sydney club?

Crisis Management 101 - crisis with how the Club is managed- divert discussion to something else later like for example ‘biggest signing in Clubs history’

 

[JB9918]

Momo to Leeds Rhinos.. Happy with that.

Who do you suggest?

 

[Odessa]

I saw Gus having coffee with keon koloamatangi anyone know when he is off contract?

 

[KingRobbie]

End of ‘24.

At the end of 2024, he’s available to be signed from November 1.
How about we give Bateman to the Bulldogs and we sign Kolomatangi ?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Gus or Keon?

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Feels like it might be out of these four
Ezra
Luai
Olakuatu
Koloamatangi

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Your spelling is great. Hope your intuition is right. Luai. The pick of the 4 great talents above. Definitely Curly. Or a Curve ball.

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Word is that Ezra, Walsh & Haas are super tight so I feel it’s not him

 

[lathami]

Ezra
Luai
Olakuatu
Koloamatangi

My guess would be olakuatu based on Fulton connection. That and he’s a western Sydney lad with his parents living in the area, but just a guess!
