Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kaito]

Got a positive gut feeling about Alaimalo( based on his highlights only)...could be a great signing.. straight swap for Nofo.. the kid looks like he can run.. let's hope he can tackle..🫣

As @240z mentioned the other day, I think
the club is grooming him 4 centre. Want
his hands on the ball. Still a long way out
before a ball is kicked off but probably right

Don’t think it’s panic.

Just that good things like this don’t normally happen and we have seen this story turn bad soooo many times before.

There’s definitely a chance of another “we thought we had him” situation. Can’t blame people for thinking that way given our history.

Reminds me of Simona

Reminds me on Simona

I can see it.

Also a bit Manu like, imo

I watched him train on Monday and he is a big man - very similar as you said to Manu. If he gets good ball he will crate chaos for opposition defences

Released Tiger makes cross-code switch

Outside back Triston Reilly has confirmed he will make the cross-code switch to the NSW Waratahs after being released by the Wests Tigers.

Tristan Reiley back to rugby union.

Who.

Like to see him on the wing, outside Tupou.
That could prove to be quite the pairing.

His highlights was just him running right through teams, albeit the weak defenders of union.. I could see him also running riot against league opposition.

Hopefully another Tuiaki, come from nowhere, hectic signing.

So with Reiley being released how many spots are available in our top 30? And who do use think will take his spot in the top 30

Formidable combo, but I'd like to see Junior
play right centre, his original pozzie,
and Solomon on the the left where he plays 2.
We're all just guessing, it's still early days..
But I'd like to see elusive runners like him
& June at centre and flyers like staines and
maybe even Starford on the wings.
A lot of his play was working in tandem
with Damien McKenzie (All Black). He will
be wasted on the wing. I know they're only
highlights but he fancies the middle & centre
channel, working with his half & supporting
play. Think he'll impress a lot of members

We released Reiley and Mansfield Webster a while back.

Outside back from union Solmon takes one spot

That's another option I'm really liking the sound of...

Toa or Naden on the wing...

Lobb and Casey always an option too?

Nofo needs to go tho.

For sure bro. Haven't discounted Nado def
in the mix and training well. Lobb'ster has
a real chance too bro. Especially given his
combo with bud. Really good 2 have these
types of convos. Who knows what Benj &
the coaching staff have up their sleeves

Reilly and Mansfield were released and were replaced in the 30 with Staines and Alaimalo.

Willet as the season goes on could be a smokey if Benji plans to give kids a crack next year with the focus on 25/26. From everything have heard & seen the kid is one heck of a talent mixed with speed.
