Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigermate]

Listening to a few of Richo podcasts

He doesn’t blood juniors unless they’ve signed for more than a year

He is dogged in getting a deal done and doesn’t leave any stone unturned

He likes giving juniors a pathway to first grade

He is the ultimate winner

So I reckon next year they’ll see how fainu, bud and galvin go - and they’ll release one of them.

And then if both remaining two want to play in the halves they’ll keep the best one we want to keep

Can’t ask for more than that

Fainu is on $500k a season from 2024. Galvin is on a tenth of that. Great work Fulton, he bidded against himself on both Sullivan and Fainu.

I don't understand the Fainu recruitment $500 k a season and same for his brother .
If we have Sezer and Sullivan and possibly Luai . Why ?
Seems like the last great torpedo fired by Lee and Justin getting the Manly insider as chief recruiter . We have 240 pages correctly upset at a long standing winger with a bad attitude getting $500k .However little said about a kid who's never played NRL getting the same

He's not on 500k for '24 or '25 don't listen lol

Signed for 4 years, secure for maybe 1 year. What odds on another release request at some point during his contract.

Or he gets photographed out with his old
comancheros mates again now that he's
back in Sydney haha. 1m 4 him is crazy
4 us but good 4 Sharks. They can go deep

A. Fainu isn’t on 500k for next year B. It’s hardly bidding against himself when knights also wanted Sullivan and dogs, raiders, phins and us also wanted the Fainus

Junior Amone’s contract has been deregistered by the NRL.

Tough day to be a Dragons fan!

Looks like they'll be in the market for a no6...?

You seriously hammering the club for signing Latu mate? Or do you still got your knickers in a knot because we let go of your beloved Mikey Nasser.

I am entitled to an opinion champ. You get off being a keyboard warrior, misdirected energy that could backfire on you.

 

[Canadian Club]

Keep it up. You have got balls behind a keyboard. I'm entitled to an opinion, if you'd like to force me to change it or you would like to control my opinion, send location champ.

To be fair, you made some completely incorrect statements and he called you out on it for spreading misinformation.

Maybe you should also think before you post or at least get the facts right.

I can assure you its not misinformation. Three quarters of these posts are speculative.

Latu Fainu is an absolute gun, but he's young and unproven and in my opinion Fainu being on $500k a season is great job by his agent Tartak.

Know one knows how much the Fainu’s are on, it’s complete speculation. Presenting speculation as fact is misinformation…

You said Galvin was getting paid a tenth of what they are which, even if it was 500k is impossible as the minimum wage for a top 30 contract is 150k-180k.

Then said the club was outbidding itself on Sullivan and Fainu even though it was reported that Sullivan had interest from the Dogs and Newcastle and the Fainu’s had interest from multiple clubs including the Dolphins and Dogs…

If your opinion is that signing Sullivan and the Fainu’s was a mistake then just say it, you’re entitled to your opinion. There’s no need to spread information along with it.

What happens if all 3 of Sullivan, Fainu and Galvin live up to expectation very quickly and become just as valuable to us as Luai ?

 

[jrtiger]

It would really top it off if we could secure that young Cowboys backrower Kulikefu Finefeuiaki that they are interested in. I think you mentioned or someone mentioned we were investigating a few months ago?

hoping Ted does have some good news on that front, but the Cowboys are where we should be looking for a backrower given the state of their cap and how deep they are in the position. Finefeuiaki may well end up at the Dragons if Flanno gets desperate, but I'd love to see us have a crack at Heilum Luki. he is a genuine talent, just had some injury struggles.

Dogs shot themselves in the foot signing Tracey, freed up the money for the Sharks to sign AFB. They need props desperately.

four doesn't fit into two. simple as that. we can keep one around to make a switch positionally, ideally Galvin, with Sullivan and Fainu gunning for the other spot. the rest of this preseason and season 2024, coupled with preseason 2025 will unearth who is best suited to partner Luai at the scrumbase.

I do think Latu makes the most sense in terms of being Luai's partner, but you can't rule anything out. regardless though, it's incredibly exciting and we should be able to swap for players in positions of need given that there is going to be a playmaker vacuum in the next few years with Reynolds, Munster, Hughes, Johnson, Keary, Fogarty, Walker, Townsend, DCE, Foran and Hunt all due to retire in the next few years.

Nice problem.... But we did all this yesterday ay

Galvin won’t be starting anytime soon, rest assured. Sullivan would simply play #7 (a la Prince) alongside Luai 2025 until Fainu demands selection, his bro probably already in the back row.

We are very lucky.
