Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sign Terrell May & resign Sione Fainu
With Batemans gone & we have a competitive squad.
Koroisau & Luai should be co captains
& I would put Kit Laulilii ahead of Twal as he is more aggressive & believe he could have a good year & live up to the hype from his junior days.

Madge has told Kobe that he’s going no where .. he is required at the Broncos for 2025 .. in other words he’s being a prick to us .. by not letting Kobe go .. is Madge being an A/Hole to us .. he is still dark with us .. !!

John Bateman a rep player
John Bateman is a solid effort player
he is also a player who gives 100%
those who say he didn’t , need to go back and look at each game he played in 24 , Benji also should look at those games , Bateman was one of our most consistent players , Benji need to pull his head in saying if correct Bateman would play reserve grade , he just played for his country , and did well , ffk sake , we get a good player and if he says what he feels we see the club ark up , we haven’t played semis and finals. For over 10 years maybe Bateman was right

Tend to agree. Even that rd 20 game in question i don't remember anything negative from him. I do remember Laulilii having a shocker and Sezers hip drop. So I looked up the stats to see where Bateman struggled. Our back 5 combined for 11 missed tackles and 8 handling errors. Bateman topped the tackle count (42, 2 missed). 79m from 10 carries is ordinary but absolutely no cheap metres in it and with a quick ptb speed. 1 dropped ball, Zero ruck infringements, zero penalties. Not the best stat line but sadly one of our better ones that day.

If you go back the past month before it, statistically he is one of our better performers every week. I know stats don't tell the full story but it doesn't support any of the 'he's rubbish' narrative on here.

Or misguided optimism.....

You've been red hot for like the last 3-4 off seasons though...
Every year it seems you're here telling us how amazing it's all going to be,
How good they're looking at Training and all that

We probably all wish we had your reset switch.

Gotta keep pushing & believing 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Madge will be salty for years to come.
He didn’t pick Steff for SOO knowing implications it would have on us
He didn’t pick one of the most inform Hookers, Api

I hate his ebbs and flows

I agree May will & Sione will complete the pack as best it can for this year. Kobe would great if we can. As said sign for 2026 & push for an early release.

Off contract now & available for 2026 I would be pushing very hard for Teig Wilton & another front rower. Hoping also we re-sign Pole & Seyfarth.

2026 don't activate Klemmer's option which is worth a bit of $$$.

2025.

8. May*
9. Korosaui
10. Pole
11. Sam Fainu
12. Seyfarth
13. Bird
14. Latu Fainu
15. Klemmer
16. Twal
17. Hunt
18. Sione Fainu

2026.

8. May
9. Korosaui
10. Pole*
11. Sam Fainu
12. Teig Wilton*
13. Kobe Hetherington*
14. Latu Fainu
15. Bird
16. Twal
17. Hunt
18. Seyfarth
19. Sione Fainu

Good depth in 2026

Sorry, we either back Benji or sack him. Coach over player. We've had too much player power in past, never again.
