Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Was not very good in attack or defence, looked disinterested.

Sounds like all of last season from him

Taking away the better organiser and kicker doesn't improve that situation. Half of those sets were sabotaged by doueihi running in circles or getting caught with the ball.

Players aren't perfect, teams have bad moments. Madden's kicking under pressure in those circumstances enabled us to win.

Both are good players, but I reckon Madden's play suits the number 7 and our team better.

If I'm wanting a threatening and hard running player I'm taking doueihi. However, I think team works better with a pass first halfback and create for runners like Bula, kpp, turuva, makasini, fainu out wide. At present the ball dies too much with doueihi.

I think AD needs to go back to right centre when Jarome is fit

I don’t necessarily agree. I mean it’s all speculation but he would have been well aware that L. Fainu is our long term halfback when he re-signed until end of 29’

I reckon Doobs thinks he’s absolutely killing it in the 7 from last season so I don’t think he cares what anyone says he’s aiming to be a half and prepared to back himself. And so he should.
Comp for spots is a good thing. We have 3 blokes all wanting the 7 as we all know JL has the 6, and everyone wants to be apart of the revival.

They need to change the ladder they have us at second but I reckon it’s daylight second and then us.
I haven’t watched any of their games yet this year but bloody hell WADA must be getting cups ready in the leagues club carpark after seeing those stats.
One nice stat was pawa leaking 34 points a game and one of those was only 2 points. Suk it Moses.

I think you are on the money - I also don't think that Madden came here to play second fiddle to AD either. If Benji is the coach I think he is - he will have told Jock that AD is the 7 until he proves he is the best fit for the side. I would suggest that the same message has been given to AD in a more subtle manner - we need you where you are best for the team etc. Latu is probably more about being eased back into the side to recover etc - but the long term plan for you is to be ...

Benji needs to tread a fine line between creating competition and animosity between the players. At the moment the noise around the playing group is good - but I'm sure we've all played in teams where ego kills team performance.

Reyno, much the same as Moses has always torn us apart with his kicking game. Our pack can match theirs.

He a talent but doesn't have the size for centre I don't think. Put Latrell or Crichton against him and see how he goes.

Watson been given permission to speak to rival clubs. I wonder if we'd be interested or if they view Latu as our Watson already.

Watson would be a perfect sub for Api

With KPP and Samuela and Twal playing 80 minutes, I think we could carry Watson along with Latu on the bench - especially so given Latu goes into the forwards anyway

Someone send the police for a welfare check ! Although it’s not like this hasn’t been rumoured for a while now …

I think someone here has suggested that fullback might be his true calling … Drinky might be moving on from there shortly

PNG … although maybe he could be free next year if he signs there ,..I think he is hard for us to squeeze in ,,

Maka needs a breck , he’s only a kid, playing against seasoned 1st graders is hard work , 2-3 games in nsw cup , to re- charge his body

Maka wore a rib tickler from Moses "the Whinger" .. it really hurt him .. you could see he played the rest of that game in pain and was shy to make contact. Hope its not gonna hold him back this weekend.
