Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Staines imo is a good first grade back up. Not for starting week to week. As long as he’s paid accordingly I have no problem with him staying
Naden I cant see being retained
Douehi I like but cannot see him overcoming his defensive liabilities so hope he goes to the uk

I agree entirely, but I don't think he IS being paid accordingly.

Never gets old, longest rumour in rugby league history.

And boring!!!

Ur kidding aren’t u , Matamua had his chance , lauillilli just does not look like a 1st grader , tumeth is a light weight and can’t even hold him own in nsw cup , haven’t seen enough of Sukarno , but we need at least 2 proven backrowers not kids

When did Matamua have his chance ? 15 mins out of position in a jigsa

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I wouldn’t read too much into it

Good news , I was wondering how you would feel about it

When did Matamua have his chance ? 15 mins out of position in a jigsaw team coming last ?? FFS mate he is 20 yrs old .. 🤯

He’s not far off 22 and been playing ressies for 3 years already - I’m yet to see him have a game (in any grade) that indicates he’s anywhere near the regard he’s held in here.
Has been an absolute waste of a top grade spot for 3 years already.

Ps: if you’re in an NRL teams top 30 - that IS your chance.

Matamua and TDS looked very disinterested in the fox tel games i watched last year of them in reggies

Probably true that he has failed to live up to expectations, but that has a lot tn do with him always carrying a bit of extra condition which has prevented him from playing with the energy levels required.
He is apparently now much fitter than he has been over the past 3 seasons, so I think it’s fair to judge him on what he does this season starting from this coming weekend.

What sticks in my mind was a game last year when his defense in the middle was crap and Benji hooked him.

What sticks in my mind was how lethargic he was in Reggies last year .Really hope he kicks on this year

Can't believe you'd spam the signing thread with a signing.

New season don't hold any grudges on previous performances, but him, Kit, Tumeth, Saukuru, Feledy and Sukkar have to start showing something to justify their top 30 spots.

Best young 2nd Rower we have coming through. Good signing. Clear position we lack depth in.
