Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think Shaun Lane could be a good shout. Can’t remember his contract situation but he could be signed to play on the left where he features atm and Samuela could go back to the right to continue on his combination with Galvin.
Seyfarth could play 13 at least as an alternative to Twal as he has a better passing game.

On contract 2025 season, MO for 2026.
Could be a chance for a mid season signing.

Absolutely not. Barely on the ground and when he is he is a liability. Had one good year but the rest are average at best.

Not one player is take from the Eels apart from maybe Penisini.

It’s weird that thier edges could be kautoga and Tualagi . There was some who thought they would be our starting edges around this time a few years ago .
I think Kelma has a lot to offer .
I feel like anyone we get though will be a placeholder until Godinet gets big enough . Which my guess would be 27/28 .
Someone older who could be reliable and do a job would be nice .
I actually thought Seyfarth looked good on the weekend .
I feel like it’s no surprise that the edge started to really breakdown when he went off with a HIA.
Seemed relatively solid until then .

Seyfarth is a good defender. Doesn't offer much in attack though. Kelma Is half decent in attack but his defence was poor when he was here. Missed alot of tackles.

Why can't we have a 2nd rower who is good at both?

With that mindset I’m sure you’ll be happy that we missed out on Tupinoua and the Dogs are crazy for signing him….

Fair enough. I thought he was ok. For the little ball that went that that way. I’ll watch him closer this week, lacks speed for mine but that’s just me.

I dunno man . Why can’t we have a lot of things ? Whoever did that thing wrong to that person who put that curse on us , surely it’s close to being lifted ?

I think a 30 year old that has spent the past 5 years playing as a left Edge is big, quick, a body to use with and without the ball in shape is just what we need. He has been through a few clubs before settling in with the Eels. But his best football seems to be in new settings. I’d be prepared to offer him a new outlook given the next best on offer would be Billy Burns.

One thing I did notice about the game was Samuela looked a bit lost without Galvin and visa versa.

We have struggled to score points for a number of years. I don't know why it is, but everything seems to be done in slow motion in attack.

we also go a bit sideways, which doesn't work very well if everything is done at snails pace.

I notice most the other teams get the ball up the field way quicker than our team.

Attack is so clunky and predictable.
Saw a lot of it on Friday.

Api back in, will hopefully sharpen that up.
But we need our forwards and metre eating backs we now have to stay interested.

It's concerning to see so many games where the stats pop up on the screen and we have been tackled 20 times in the opposition 20 and the scoreline is still 0-0.

You're just not going to win many games if you are consistently struggling to score.

Api should help, but our halves are meant to be the architects for points and they looked lost.

A lot has been made of our defence by missing 57 tackles on the weekend, but had we scored just one more time, we win. Ultimately, the attack was what lost us the game.

Surprised supercoach isn't all over it.

We very rarely have multiple shots, Back to back.
It's almost become a running joke among fans on the hand out to Twal for a settler
late in the set close to the line.
It's not like he's EVER going to barge over, All it does is give the edges time to reset.
Ridiculous - I can't believe he's stupid enough to keep being there.
