Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

The sentiment of the brothers thing shouldn’t really come into the equation from the clubs perspective…

As we sit here now …I want them to see how Luai and Latu look in the halves …. That’s my preferred pairing and one I hope is there for years to come … would also prefer a bigger 13 ..

If they move on from Bud then a spot has opened up in he squad so let’s see then what happens

Further to this. Whether it’s warranted it or not, the May’s probably aren’t the family to build the family culture around. Their name is pretty much mud around the NRL. Look at poor Tyrell. One of the best props in the game this year, up there in the Dally M’s, and Daley would sooner pick Matt Groat than give May 5 minutes of his time. And he’s supposed to be the good brother. It’s just weird that if you want to establish that sort of culture, this is the family you use to do it.

respectfully, why would you make an enquiry for a player you don't want at your club? there's clearly interest...

Things can change very quickly …and contingencies should be ready to go if required,…doesn’t mean that you necessarily move in that direction though

 

[Tcat]

Yes to Taylan May, no thanks to Tyrone. Throw some good $$ at Spencer if he is allowed to talk.

I think AD can move into lock in 2-3 years . I think he needs to be an edge forward first . And that’s where I’d be saying to him to start moving his game towards . His improvements in defence , and his desire for work , as well as he can still do that ad-lib stuff / offer a 4th choice kicker, means he definitely has value .
He needs to work with a plyometrics trainer/ sprints coach to help him with his explosion off the mark and into and through contact . But that seems like he’s still having confidence issues / still coming to terms with how big and massive he is .
He’s an absolute unit , but especially in attack , seems to have forgotten it .
We need more out of the left edge centre in attack . At least 4-5 times on Sunday , and 3-4 times in most games , there’s been half chances presented to him/ 1 on 1 opportunities with his centre , and he hasn’t been able to do anything .

given he's a development player at St George I'm not sure the club will announce anything of note unless it's in a big Squad Update news item or at the start of Preseason.

Taateo's been at the club a fortnight now and we still don't have any confirmation on what kind of contract he's on. they have form in this department.

Expect another consolidated press release of T&T additions is my tip. Taylan, Taateo, Charlie Murray & perhaps Elie El Zakhem since both have been included in the NRL squad over the past 1-2 weeks. Surely we'll get something this week given there is clear air for the club before a bye weekend and now the Galvin cluster duck is over.

I think you might be on the money. guess we'll see.

A starting half in the best team in Super League atm who is only 28/29, brings experience & flexibility, is known & fits in with our core leadership group Jarome & Api, yes. Plus he wants to come back to Australia and we'd be his #1 priority because of his brothers. Not many players choose us as their #1 destination.

We're his number 1 priority also known as the only club that'd be dumb enough to entertain bringing his useless backside back to the NRL.

What’s the fascination with Hassett ?
If you take a look at his stats when playing NSW Cup, he rarely makes more than 60-70m, rarely breaks a tackle and his post contact metres are very minimal.
If we are signing him on a base contract as depth cover than sure he’d be ok, but if we are looking at someone who can make a positive difference to our NRL team, he won’t help much at this stage.

I thought you were talking him up quite a bit early in the year...apologies if it was someone else

I wouldn't mind Tyrone coming in at lock.Another ballplaying option. Can throw a
nice cutout pass too which i don't think we do enough.

We looked good the other day with Luai,mason and latu together. They worked mason over
in that first half.Probably needed a bit more cover but he handled himself ok. But we didn't
look like we had too many play makers.Mason likes to take on the line anyway.

I'd like us to have a crack at David Fifta. Skelton,may/doubie,Fifta on the left would offer Luai plenty
on the left. Luai needs bodies in motion for him to be more effective though. He drifts a lot
looking for someone to hit a line and there isn't anyone. Affects our short kicking game too,with
not enough running onto it or running lines.

We need a another big booper in the middle,like Hunt, but that we can get 30-40 mins out.
I like Sione and would like samuela in the middle. Just need a bigger drive back through the ruck.
Like Bunty or Josh Papali'i. Like leota was the other day. If not hopefully we can get more
out of Hunt. We missed that in the middle.

We're a bit off but not by a long stretch.

Anyone got the code sports article on signing t.may and going after Adam Reynolds?

harsh?....is he that bad?

 

[tigahhh]

harsh?....is he that bad?

no, they just won the champion cup lol .

 

[Le Tiger]

I think we'll see some 1 year deals/extensions being done by us, and other clubs before the end of the season for fringe first graders (AD for us).

Perth will need plenty of fringe players for their squad and will be ready to sign these players up from Nov 1st.

Situation in the clubs eyes might be malleable, depending on movement prior to the end of the month might dictate what type of a contract he's on. If nothing else falls out of the treee, maybe the club upgrades his contract from the one they've given him now.
