Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Well, I did say there were exceptions.
My point in saying size is a major factor in positions in junior footy is that big guys are usually put in the forwards.

That’s not what I was talking about ..

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Going to union mate

He'll be 31 in 2027 and won't have stepped on a rugby field in 13 years. He has neither the body shape or speed to make it as a centre nor doe he have the size to make it as a forward.

Keppie is purely speculation based on a report about Souths potentially moving him on.

He's not a great player.

But he is a massive unit. With over 100 games at NRL level. Who averages 85m a game.

Taller than all but Sam Fainu, bigger than all but Royce Hunt. In a team that gets bullied far too often.

If he was a part of our forward mix, I'm ok with it. A few intimidating big bodies in the squad just makes the opposition defence take a peek.

He's a sloth tho. No point being big if there's no power, agility, athleticism or dynamism. You end up with the last 6 seasons of Aaron Woods

Sounds like Averillo is off to Super League. Why aren't we speaking with him!?

I rate Averillo. Pretty good centre who can cover fullback or 5/8 mid match if you suffer an injury.

 

[Camel2281]

I doubt that Benji will throw him in at centre straight up, just too hard for a young bloke to handle unless he's an absolute blueblood.

I can see him as sharing first grade wing duties with Skelton (who misses lots of games with injuries)

 

[Camel2281]

Who cares though ?

I’m just worried about players on my team …

But now thst you mention it ..I want a pack of forwards like the Roosters…Who are the worse players getting regularly picked for them ?

Nat or Egan Butcher

 

[Tom Shines]

Nat or Egan Butcher

Nat played 4 games last year …

Egan would have walked into our side

 

[orange&black]

Averillo would be a handy squad member in my opinion. However I’d rather a guy who can play dh for 20 mins and tackles well as a middle. Cam Mciines type would be good.

I'd have Averillo at right centre over Starford every day of the week and twice on Sundays

What about Jesse Ramien from the Cronulla Gummies .. apparently he is on the squeeze out of the Sharks due to salary cap restrictions at the club. He is currently on 600K at the Sharks .. we take him for 300 and Sharks pay the other half .. ?? Y/N .. ??

If he's off to (Not)Super League then another 16 clubs didn't think he was value at his asking price either.

 

[TigerSkins05]

If we want a prop how about Xavier Va’a .. a big strong yopung prop .. from the Rorters. height - 195cms .. weight - 114kgs.

I've always thought Ramien is kne if the worst centres in the game

No manager will send a topline centre like Ramien to the Wests Tigers when we have May & Makasini as our projected long-term options and Starford on a multi-year deal. There is no guaranteed start.

What makes you think the sharks are silly enough to pay half?

 

[hank37w]

The other question is, are we willing to pay half? 🤣

He's not exactly the speed man that V wants.

Averillo is.
No chance Averillo goes to Super League, there will be a long line of NRLclubs wanting him and we should be doing something smart for a change, signing him and then offloading To’a.

For me Toa gets one more season to prove his worth or it's bye, bye baby bye, bye.

think we’ll see a different star knowing his spot is under pressure from may & masi
