Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Back row 2nd from the left .. Alex Lobb .. and Triston Reilly back row on the right .. look at the height size difference .. Lobb is a tower .. !!

Front row has Lachlan Gavin on the left and Josh Feledy .. these guys are in "Rookie Camp"

No reports of us re-signing him, however the fact that he hasn't signed anywhere yet would suggest to me he's keen to re-join the club just need us to free some space to fit him, OR he thinks he's still worth $500k to a team and is testing his value as a fullback.

Cheers for your reply mate. When Charlie is on song I believe his value is close to $350K. But he had a tough year, his form wasn't great leading into the season and that injury was horrendous. In saying that I wouldn't be against extending him for a year at the right price. He has speed to burn which we're lacking.

Totally agree, I think he's well and truly a first grade winger, likely the best we have available when fit.
$350k would be a fair price, hopefully we can move on someone like AJ or Simpkin and fit Staines in somewhere around that figure.

10 boys at rookie camp, would have been more if the Fainus were back early too!

Absolutely agree, that is still good value given his age, speed and experience. Charlie should be a priority!
 
Charlie Staines is not a bad player. I think his perceived importance exceeds his actual output. Conversely I think Nofoaluma's perceived output is unrealistic & that 1 slow run against Manly (was it Manly?) is now his EVERY run.

I think Nofa is not as bad as the narrative. His defence is poor. But no worse than Staines, To'a, Tupou, Kepeoa, etc, etc. He also knows how to find the line. He also does a HEAP of the ugly runs out of dummy half.

Having Olam inside him would not hurt. Having Hymel Hunt on the other side of the field wouldn't hurt our defence either. Our entire outside back squad has trouble reading in defence.

There is no way you pay Charlie Staines $500k again. His greatest asset is that he can ALSO play fullback. I'm yet to watch him play & think "thank God he's as fast as he is- he really made a difference there".

How is it baffling? He oversaw first grade strength and conditioning at a time in our club when a lot of our best players were chronically injured. No offence to him, as he is a legend, but he is past it.
