Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

What heights were mentioned?

He was a complete unknown because he'd stopped playing for two years in favour of basketball...

He trialled for a contract after a recommendation by his former Keebra Park team mate Trey Peni -and has outperformed any expectation for a player who landed on the clubs lap through such a circuitous route!!

He has had injury interrupted seasons in 2023-24 - but has shown enough to GOOD judges to see the exceptional talent that he is & will continue to grow into!

Trey Peni is playing well at the roosters, nsw cup team.

I always liked him too.
I wouldn't be against bringing him back, on a cup contract. Keep the brotherhood strong within our team. He is very close with Bula and Fonua.

Liked seeing Benji dap him up too.

I'm not exactly sure he's a first grader but having him in our system again would be great.

des set to retire from coaching after this year

Kobe Hetherington about to sign 2 year extension with the Broncos.

Adam Doueihi in current talks with the Wests Tigers, Brent Read speculates on 1 year deal with sights on Perth Bears.

(Brent Read/Triple M NRL podcast)

Awesome, Kobe Hetherington is so overrated by many on here

I like it and agreed. Kobe Hetherington is rubbish. Dont see what he offers that Twal doesnt.

 

[fainty]

We take up our offer for Bula.
API re signs.
We win another 3-5 games to finish the year.
Makasini makes his first grade debut.
T.May makes his club debut.
Luai takes out his clauses.
A few players fall from the trees and we snap them up.
That’s our end of the year.

All of which seems possible really.

Apparently there's one club looking to try negotiate with Tino from the Titans for a release next year

You and Visious need to leave Sukkar alone. You both don't like lebanese players for what ever reason and i am not lebanese.
I have just watched the replay v Easts. Suķkar was why Stains scored first try. Out back 3 plus luke made first 4 runs then May and Pole. He has no need to be dinamic just do his job. And by the way when Sione scored it was Seyfarth who propped stood still ran hard to the line and had 4 players at him then found his front for quick pass from our Hope. You guys just dont watch. Just dribble on a forum. I dont post much but i dislike seeing both your names appear coz i know i'm gunna hear dribble. I don't know why you bother? I'm sorry if you are both kids but i doubt it. Grow up an look💤💤💤💤💤💤💤

Hetherington is a dead set plodder. No idea what the fixation with him is.

In a Maguire system. He has shown under Walters that he can be a weapon. Walters used him right he just does not like it. GOOD Riddance

 

[Wa_Mag_Tig]

Exactly ! His stooges in the media like Dickio and Reed are spinning shit . Moses is making zero off Bula right now . That’s what this is about .

More of this i like to hear. Less death riding. We gotta be a team off field aswell on.

Cap is $11.4 mill.
Divide that by 30 and it's $380k.
I'd expect atleast 5 to be on minimum salary though maybe more

All of your starting players should be on ~500k+, with a couple on a million and a few just under.
Once you take that money out, those not in your top 17 shouldn't be on too much. A handful on minimum and a few more on 200k.
The good clubs get real value out of their players on 150-300k.
The fact we pay the likes of Naden, seyfarth and twal 400-500k says a lot about why our cap is in such a mess.

Sukkar is ok for depth, but needs to show more if he is to play NRL and help us win games more regularly.
As for Lebanese players, I’m a big fan of Alex Twal, he never lets us down and we would not have won on Sunday without the control and goal kicking from Adam Doueihi.
Some I won’t name think he’s hopeless, take up your argument about him with them.
In addition to these players, we have Jaxson Rahne also of Lebanese descent playing for our NSW Cup team, he’s been playing well all season and he’s more ready to play NRL than a few others that have been getting selected ahead of him,
Finally I also agree Alex Seyfarth always does his job, particularly as a middle forward off the bench, he was strong again on Sunday.

Balmain Boy,

Have you crawled back from under your rock? Were you on holidays or just busy making coffee again! With out Sukkar’s defence Tigers don’t win that game. Any other back rower was letting tries in. The kids is a machine and when they learn how to use him properly by passing the ball his attack will be very different. You can see him attacking the line each time but the half on that side did not utilise that option instead went looking on the other side.

It seems that Benjis instructions were always go down the middle on 7&9 with our forwards and back rowers need to defend all day which is what that Sukkar kid did and did it well. 39 tackles not bad. A few errors with off side which I am sure he will work on this week. Did well for first time in NRL with full 80min

If you read any of this shit about you Sukkar don’t listen hold your head up and maybe to please Balmain Boy the latte maker be a hog and start running the ball don’t worry about what your coach tells you to do or what game plan and instructions he gives you because latte man know best.

Who the heck are you? Still random did barely ever posted on here. Sukkars family member perhaps?

If you are a family member you'd have watched many of his games, and you would know that over the last 5 years he'd be lucky to have 5 line breaks. He's a solid tackler, I've not said he isn't. But he's never posed any threat with ball in hand, at any level he's ever played at.

And as I said, he's a solid squaddie to round out your squad, but he's a long way from a starting first grader currently. Ideally he'd be learning his trade in anonymity in cup, but as we one have one second rower in our squad so he gets a run.

Even the Roosters are losing juniors.

We should be doing the same

 

[balmain boy]

Isn’t Makinhisi a goal kicker?

Sukkar is actually a better goal kicker than Makasini

From what i have read on the KOE thread is that most of them have been stepping up. Boads well for our apparant lack of depth. Go threw the 17 teams in NRL and apart from parra or dragons who are NRL known players.

 

[hugh1954]

Yea they do , but you’d want to get in quick . It will be sold out .

Thanks

 

[hank37w]

Sukkar has been strong and can’t recall a mistake really. Matamua got found out in defence and fitness.

Not to mention lack of discipline.
