Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Seriously? Sbw was 20cm and 20kgs bigger than Godinet. There's absolutely nothing similar between them, completely different players

Godinet is just taller then SBW just has to put on some muscle

SBW played around 108kg

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Yea,

But he has only been here 2-3 weeks.

re Geyer. Get rid of him ASAP if he is not staying.

We only signed him for one year….why get rid of him before the year even starts….lol

Matterson previously missed multiple weeks (6 weeks in 2018, 4 in 2021, 4 in 2024) with ongoing concussion symptoms. Considering all of this puts some doubt on his playing future.

I would have thought the weeks he missed suspended sitting on the sideline letting his team mates down instead of paying a fine would have certainly put doubts on his playing future if I had any say in the matter(son).

But isn't Godinet a Moses client? If so, we can kiss him good bye.

Wasn't there already rumours about him wanting out for development reasons?

Pretty happy for him to leave if there is any truth to it

What’s the point having junior teams if we are just going to give all of them away

I don't think we want to give them away. Until NRL / ARL bring in some form of compensation for clubs that develop juniors being picked off by other clubs junior development is screwed.

May likes playing on the left to utilise his sharp left foot step and Makasini demonstrated last night how lethal his right hip drop is which best suited when playing on the left.
That being the case I would hope we are trying Skelton at right centre.
What we might lose in way of quick hands we would gain in his size and tackle but ability.
I think a right edge of Doueihi, KPP, Skelton and Turuva looks decent and has plenty of attacking quality about it.

I would not like a slow passer at right center.

Heck, the trials have shown one damn good thing. Our team has a great passing game.
Really it reminded me of Manly 2008. We got the ball out of tackles and kept a good attack flow going.

Last thing I would want to do is disturb that.

Doueihi/Turuva would be a better fit at Right center. They can get the ball out to their wing, Turuva can go it himself while Doueihi can put a kick in or make a play.

I very much doubt we would get the best out of Doueihi if we moved him back to right centre.
I think it’s halves or lock for him moving forward, but if he plays 13 it could only be for 40mins per game maximum.

Easy money

Jake Averillo is on the market, very handy player although not sure if we really have a spot for him currently.

We need forwards, so we can send Seyfarth, Sukkar et al to Antarctica to count penguins and sea lions.

Trade him for Herbert.

Job done

Use Skelton money

1. bula
2. turuva
3. Makasini
4. May
5. Averillo

Think he’s going to the dragons we walks into their team lol

Yea, I agree.

Sadly we could never develop Doueihi into a center and he doesn't seem to have a strong enough defence to get the spot.

Center has to be able to defend their line and not let their winger face a 2 on 1 overlap. 100% must non-negotiable.


So we have:
Makasini
Taylan
Skelton
Turuva

as a backline, in whatever order... Were doing ok.
Depth could be a big issue. We basically have Laulili (I forget which one is a back) and with Starford injured, Bird flying away and only no-names in our squad.
Well lets see.

Skelton been paid 300-400k. Which is less than average.
Still need to replace that with min wage guy.
