Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Anyone got any updates on how Solomone Saukuru has been developing? We could do with a bit of Center depth and it seems like he has been around for a number of years now , but can’t seem to get a sniff at the big time … looks like he doesn’t even have his own thread in the contracts section 😎

Most pathways watchers were surprised he was moved back to the outside backs this season after some absolutely dominant displays in the backrow in Flegg last season. Many including myself thought that would be the making of him.

Then he plays left centre & wing in the trials and NSW Cup 1st game, playing well in all matches imo on both sides of the ball. Very strong ball runner out of yardage, has a good pass in him to set up his winger and very good in the air.

Then this week Tino Tavana who is just on a T&T makes the NRL extended squad ahead of him which can only suggest Benji either rates Tino higher or Tino was a better trainer than him in the pre-season.

I personally feel if Solo is given a chance in NRL on the wing or centre, he would excel. He has the physical attributes & ability. I just can't comment on what his attitude or effort is like in the training environment.

I think he'll get there eventually, but he plays a physical game where he might need a bit of time to mature. Tino is a bit more gifted but Solo is more a thug. I like him. Hard yards guy who likes to tackle.
Edit: He can play anywhere. Front row to ( almost ) fullback. Valuable.
 
know you guys are sick of Galvin,
But I called hipdrop on him last night,
But referee chose not to even Penalise him for it, but then this morning I was happy to see that they have called him out for it,

But then this afternoon the reports are he will only cop a $1000 fine at best,

And at worst a $1500 fine.

IT HIGHLIGHTS THE DIFFERENCE IN PLAYING FOR BULLFROGS,
ONLY SMALL FINE IMPOSED.

BUT FROM MEMORY FIRST OFFENCE WITH TIGERS HIP DROP,
HE COPPED 4 WEEKS OUT,
I THINK.
