Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Royce Hunt swap for Davvy Moale sounds good to me if there is interest.

 

[weststigers]

Haha yes it is hard to read. If this was being marked by a professor or teacher I'd be much better

Good onya mate. One of the few on here that has a sense of humour. Stay well

Have a feeling we’re eyeing a big name, we have the cap space and have an obvious need for a middle.

Seems very quiet, a little too quiet…

I reckon Richo and Benji are working in the shadows for a big name to come with KPP next year or potentially in 2027.

Question is who….

Spencer leniu or NAS ?

I think a Sullivan swap seems more likely.

🙏

Matt Rieck?...Can't remember if he was as bad as they said,very quick though.

Same as Staines. Really fast sprinter but couldn't use it without trying to run around people.

There’s not, that’s why a n up and comer such as this fella is probably as good as we could get in regards to a middle forward for 2026.
Lack of supply and demand means he will highly likely cost more than what he is probably worth at this stage and that’s the tricky part, do you pay what appears to be an over inflated price for an up and comer ?
There is no perfect answer, but adding one more good quality middle would at least provide genuine competition for positions and would hopefully bring out the best in some of our current forwards who have been inconsistent.

He would be fine for us … He has played 70 NRL games … he is better than a NSW cup guy that you don’t really know can handle the top grade or not…which you have suggested the club signing plenty of those

If you are holding out for a Tino you might he waiting a while

 

[weststigerman]

I’ll take that one too.

 

[TIGERS]

No he didn’t. He took it to Des.

If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen - or get fired like Des.

Just watched it, I'm with you on this topic. I don't see that as bad journalism at all. It's not a facetious question. It's not a wind up. It's not even on the richter scale of some of the garbage Benji has had to contend with all season. Des just looked fed up and finished, checked out, and couldn't even be bothered stonewalling a Journo without much effort.

Are Souths interested in Hunt? I thought they are trying to free money up for Fifita ? Or do they expect us to pay the freight for Hunt like we do for Bud ?

Chatter about guys like Moale and Mooney is definitely encouraging and I think we could land these types with relative ease if we pulled the trigger.
Although i really think some of you are on the right track with a big name in mind for Richo and Benji to give season ‘26 a real shake.
Our roster management has been calculated and deliberate so far and I think we’ve done it in an attempt to free up enough cap to have a real crack.
A Leniu or NAS type would be my pick as a pack leader and maybe a Ray Stone enforcer journeyman type to round us out as lock cover

It would be great if there was some chatter about it from someone in the know… most of us here are going to be all over any NRL experienced prop that becomes available

It could also mean they have nothing….

I’d rather we get the guy who’s the next big name.

That’s how teams get to the top 4.

 

[TheEnz]

This.

Everyone loves the new guy and hate the old guys at the club around here.

Taylan has been a great acquisition, but that was a very bad moment and he didn’t even turn and chase after the mistake. Now imagine if that was To’a or Doueihi.

Watch the video, cops a forehead to the face, ball raked out, than punched towards deaden by cows player, all while cows player holds back of Taylans jersey. I don't blame taylan for that try.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

In regards to moale, souffs offered him a 2 year extension and he knocked it back, so it's not souffs that don't want him, he wants out by the looks of it...

Hope its because we had a better offer?

 

[Nadz4483]

Maybe, who knows...

 

[Betterdays22]

Spencer leniu or NAS ?

NAS is the exact profile of prop we need imo... or maybe the idea of what NAS should be anyway

 

[supercoach]

IMO any high cost signing must be on the rise near the top of the game or at the top. I don’t want the club paying big dollars for a guy on the slide. Thats why I would think long and hard about a guy like big Nelson.

I think I would prefer to take a risk with a 24 year old on a mid sized contract who is on the up than NAS but I guess finding the right one is the hard part. The Souths guy sounds like he could do a job, but if his asking price is 500g as reported, I would probably look elsewhere
