Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TYGA]

bailey Simonsson has requested a release from eels

Good signing if we are letting Staines and Naden go. Can play but injury prone.

You cared. 😎
You had a dig at me first.

If you’re happy to accept average after 15 years of it, then good on ya Adam.

Again with the narcissism 😂
I “had a dig” cos you’re a sook who can’t give credit where credit’s due. Instead you divert attention to 15 years of blah blah sook spit pout. It’s amusing.

to debut, i know it is but physically he’s worlds apart from the rest of them

Let’s cool it down a tad.
He hasn’t earned a debut and we aren’t in desperate need for him to debut.
He’s very young, very green. Do it properly.

[weststigers]

Worth a stab you think?

Why not? He could carve up

Wouldn’t surprise me given our attrocious record at blooding young players.
Really stupid.

 

[Droppy05]

How can this mob sign so many players?

They have got hands on the Roosters secret 11 herbs and spices !

just an fyi, the dragons have not increased their offer to 500k, bullshit

does seem like overs

does seem like overs

What theory is that based on ?
The figures we are paying or have offered others says Luai is more than 3 times the layer we believe Douehi is.
Galvin more than twice the player we think Doueihi is.
Bud Sullivan one and a half times the player we think Douehi is.
Do them evaluations sound right ?
Form playing in the halves in 2025 certainly do not say so.

well it depends the position he plays, $500k for a lock that’s played 2 games in that position is a bit of risk

He is not a lock, he’s a 6 or 7 who would be a very good 14 if we have a 6 and 7 who are both playing better than him.
Currently that is not the case.

he’s not getting a halves position here or at the dragons, they want him as a lock and utility - which at $500k - is a high price

 

[Merlot]

haha That left me in stiches

He’s not worth 200k as a 13, but he’s definitely worth 500k as a 7 or 6.
You say he is not getting the 7 spot here, well why did he get it last weekend if Benji doesn’t see him as a 7 who can help win us games ?
Why did we chase Adam Reynolds if we are so confident Latu is a must selection for us at 7 ?
Why does our team look so much better when Doueihi is playing 7 ?
Why does Luai look so much more comfortable and more composed when Doueihi is playing 7 ?
If we are serious about trying to make the top 8 in 2026 we should be paying Douehi the 500k he is asking for and letting both he and Latu battle it out for our starting 7 position with whoever loses out being our permanent number 14.

Why does Luai look so much more comfortable and more composed when Doueihi is playing 7 ?
If we are serious about trying to make the top 8 in 2936 we would be paying Doueihibthe 509k he is asking for and letting g both he and Latu battle it out for our starting 7 position with whoever loses out being our permanent number 14.

just going off what benji said in the presser after the game latu is our long term 7, there’s just no rush & we needed more experience for that specific game
they obviously have a succession plan & are sticking to it, even if doueihi is in career best form. if he can jag $500k at the dragons after his injury battles he’d be crazy not to consider it
we still need to upgrade taylan so they are probably prioritising money in the cap to elsewhere
