Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

And I love you guys

Yes and No. When we keep losing - I look at myself - who am I - when we keep winning - I lose sight of myself - cause I'm focused on them. Not me. That's why I guess - I love my team. And myself. It seems to be a good balance in these times.

When was the last time we kept winning ?
I will say it would be nice to go 15-20 years back in time.

On the field. Not off it. How you going?

I’ll put it to you this way, if you bet $10,000 on the team opposing Wests Tigers every game for the past 10 years, you would have made a very nice profit.
Bet responsibly.

Can I put my Mrs on? You make sense man.

I wish we could team them up at Wests Tigers.

Stuff of dreams. Luai fair option too though haha.

Yes, tell her as long as Benji is in charge, don’t get mad, make some profit.

The club should be doing everything to keep TDS. However if he leaves, Sandon Smith would be a good pick up to play 14. Covers hooker and dummy half. Although I doubt he would be open to coming here to play 14 when he will probably get offers from other clubs as a starting half or 9.

Does he cover any positions other than hooker or dummy half?

You understand dreams Kelce 68. On behalf of our organisation we apologise. But thank you. For your money and time.

Not really.
Owen Pattie has been on the Raiders bench for the vast majority of the season, he only plays as a 9 and they are going ok.

Speaking of Latu, the thought of he and Katoa teaming up for Tonga at some point in the next few years must be mouth-watering for them.

he’s similar to katoa hey
must’ve learnt a few things from him when they were on tour together for Tonga

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

No. He's totally different. Sorry man. But you are correct under the flag. Good luck with that.

 

[tigahhh]

you don’t see similarities ?

Plenty of similarities, Fainu looks a more powerful and dynamic runner of the ball, but doesn’t possess the quality kicking game that Katoa has.

every dad and their dog has seen it

again if he was released for it - why would they re-sign him for two years after it 😂
and why is ZDC still at the club?

Not arguing that the video was the reason he was sacked but your timeline doesn't match up. He was extended before the video.

Fatialofa would be awesome. Creating competition doesn't block Pathways, it creates them.

Was talking to a mate who follows Warriors & their pathways very closely and rates Kayliss Fatialofa potentially as good as Leka Halasima. Even believes he could be given the opportunity to play centre & even wing to keep him in the system (with their umteen backrowers and UK Morgan Gannon coming). I hope we’re having a good look!

If he was a real mate - he would of bought u a beer

As you know I’ve been very keen on us potentially signing David Fifita as I strongly believe we need more speed and attacking threat on our edges, but I think signing a young up and comer with massive potential such as Fatialofa would probably be a much smarter signing as he would not cost near as much, he would not be guaranteed a starting position and would need to fight and prove his value to start ahead of Samuela Fainu on our left edge.
Alternatively we could start him on the bench and bring him into games with Samuela’s versatility to mix between an edge and the middle.
If Fatialofa is capable of also playing in the centres, that’s even better from a bench coverage point of view.
It’s rumoured we are in the race to sign him, let’s hope we do.

Alternstively - we could just get back to reality
