Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not sure if losing Toupu and gaining Olam is the right move. I'm not a fan.

I tend to agree but i guess at the end of the day it depends on what tupou was asking for and much Melbourne would kick in for Olams contract.

Tupou has huge upside but is still very unproven at this level - doesn't deserve upper average centre/winger yet. Olam however seems busted.

Tupou has potential but bad hands.

We need an experienced centre minimum to have outside chance for semis.

At the very least Olam is a top defender.

He and Bateman on that edge should shut down the easy leaks.

Turuva has apparently re-signed with Penrith. Tass and May absolutely worth looking at though, especially Tass if Wighton takes his spot and doesn't play in the back row.

Tass has been doing some community work with the Black Money team.

Could be a realistic option.

Fair call, I just think Olam is on the way down and Toupu on the way up.

You don't notice your "Where's the Pom" posts every other day?

ps: pretty sure he bailed after his real identity was dropped publicly here...
Soon after anyway...

What is this? I missed this info?
So who was it?
This is more interesting than the back and forth of is JL coming or not in 10 days.
Was it the mole trolling us or Dennis Burgess or Nofa?

I think the club wants to make an instant splash rather than just a long-term plan.

This was the plan with the previous administration which will be honed further with Richo.

It's time.

One post = “Every other day”?

Everyone please continue pissing and shidding.

Ya gotta give it to Richo, things are starting to move along since he walked in the door.

The previous administration were all talk. I think Richo will have more bite than their bark.

In regards to Luai, not really, Negotiations would have been so far down the track, all that would have been left for him to do was sign off on it,

Nice intel @ConePuncher

This is the important part, no point worrying about the MILF master

Put me out of my misery please 🙏, who was The Pom?

True but he could have signed ages ago. Richo walks in and things are moving faster. Watch this space.

Tiger99 was Darren Senter supposedly. If anyone cares.

disappointing we lose Tupou but Kristian Woolf must've worked overtime on him when they were in England recently for the Tonga tour. we can't bend our cap out of shape for a player who, although he has promise, is a long way off being the finished product. great player with the world at his feet, but we'll be ok. best of luck, Toops.

Also they have Herbie and Averillo as centres, and Isaako and Nui as wingers, with the Hammer at fullback or centre, not sure what he thinks he is doing there

Richo is exactly the guy I wanted as CEO.

The HBG may have had him working in the shadows for a while don't know.

But the Luai engagement began when when prior board catapulted benji into the role and Api resigned.

It's not new

Injuries, suspensions etc.

There's about 5 blokes running about 5 accounts each trying to control narrative.

The trouble with social media.
