Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

tbh there are not many goal kickers available in positions we need unless Starford To’a decides not to extend past next season. Then we could go for Paul Alamoti who is a handy kicker.

Likely scenario is AD and/or Api. Apparently Luai is ok but he brings leadership in huddles while kicks are being taken.

what a conundrum AD is, a player that only shows good form in a contract year is suss.But in a shrinking player market he is worth keeping . I hope his lazy side makes him stick around .Being 1 of his major detractors over the last 3 years doubt he has the gumption for a 13, he's to much of a show pony

That’s why you got to keep signing him to 1 yr deals ..😎

thought that was all about him wanting to stay employed incase his knee blew out again , lol

Where do we find that player ?

I thought Pole was playing this role quite well before his injury... He really stepped up when Terrell came on board

hahahahahaha 😂😂😂
the men’s was sold out at one point but it’s been restocked, maybe they only had a small amount of women’s

Still a bit average.

Will be interesting him getting more time at lock
one position you can take the line on and not look like a ball hog

how does masi go goal kicking?

He kicked at Matt’s & Ball Cup level - every time I saw him he slotted the ones he was supposed to, but he’s no Hazam El Masri.

Nothing special from all accounts but I guess with work could be an option. Although highly unlikely they would put the added responsibility of goal kicking on a kid who is just starting off in the top grade.

He would surely want the longest and biggest deal he could get in case he has a career ending injury so he could get the maximum insurance payout.

A bit harsh. He has been coming back from a few major knee injuries. Fixes one need - a ball playing lock. And has utility bonus. And his kicking is pretty good. I think he has shown major improvement and a good attitude. Has to count for something!

 

[innsaneink]

i’m pretty sure they just released it
the men’s one just got restocked tho

Mens now sold out
This mob are useless

hahahahahaha 😂😂😂

On the website both mens and womens are sold out.....BUT....they do have an auction im guessing for the player worn jumpers

Fancy that eh

Pfft

He still owes us for 68 more shite games. I deducted one for last week, his crappy goal kicking finally win us a game.

700k for Bud, that's some rumour.

Pulled that number out of his arse?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

goal kicking is a tool of the trade that most don't wish to spend some extra time in perfecting, I get it as a kid , but professionally it should be trained into them,

Makasini kicks goals, but was at a low percentage while attending school. But took them anyway.
When he becomes the fulltime athlete he will have time to be coached and fine tune his goal kicking skills. This should lead to a much better kicking percentage IMO.
Fingers crossed my wish comes true?

AD is a pretty important piece in our squad. He fills in everywhere and is capable as well. We definitely don't have someone matching his versatility and ability. I would not be surprised if he gets a decent multiyear offer from someone. It's a pretty unique skillset to have a kicking game, passing ability, size, goalkicking and now he's proven to be a solid defender. I could see him not starting in our side, but even as a 14 he'd be valuable to us and I feel that he has the potential to be our 13 going forward if he gets properly match fit for the demands of that position.

The last few years it has always been defense and the fact he's not good enough as a playmaker to be the main playmaker on the team that made him look bad. Now with our quality halves, and his improved defense, he's actually very underrated.

Peter Lang (well connected local Penrith journo) reckons that the Panthers aren't in for AD. basically leaves WT and St Choke. he won't be leaving us for them. you'd think it'll now be down to dollars and cents.
