Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Value for money I’d prefer Schiller.
II think we need a big, tall, fast & athletic right centre so would be nice to land either Lomax or Schiller who both fit that description.
Turuva is a very good player, but I don’t think the long term balance of our team really wants two short centres.
every centre Marshall has brought to the club has been a nuggety centre, every winger has been big and athletic. there's a chance that there's an archetype the club looks for in its players and will recruit as such. its why I think that Laulili'i's been converted to the centres. Lomax and Turuva fit the bill, whereas Schiller's probably a winger in Benji's book.

Good observation, could be on-the-money. I think many of us are thinking of Turuva as a winger but he came through as a fullback/centre from memory. I recall some NSW Cup games where he just dominated as a centre.

Personally I hope we get either Gagai for 1 season or Turuva for longer for their experience (even though Turuva is only young he's a premiership winner).

Hopefully the likes of Lobb, Alaimalo, Saukuru, Feledy, Faataape, Laulilii & Willett keep developing & then Makasini, Large emerge as bolters.
 
I think Staines is better fullback than Lomax.

Would you pay 600-700k for someone the Dragons want to let go when Galvin will need an upgrade and Makasini and Large will start to become centre options in 2025 and 2026?
Large won't become an NRL centre - it doesn't pay enough for a guy of his (likely) calibre. He'll commit to rugby before settles for a centre position with WT.

You could be right, I think some of us under rate Staines.
I also agree we need to hopefully add Large and Makasini to the NRL equation sooner than later, I’m of the opinion Large will be ready before Makasini despite Makasini having an imposing physique to work with.
 
I can't see Adam Doueihi being re-signed for 2025 at $600k. I also can't see Lomax being signed by any club for $800k.

Dropping Adam for Zac, at $650k for 3 years makes sense (to me).
