Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Never liked the signing inns, was proof at the time that Sheens was passed his coaching use by date.

Small 2nd rower at 750k, a crap contract.

Crap human as well

Stephano's just one of those Forwards who look brilliant in a balanced squad but just isn't a difference maker on his own. Adam Blair was exactly the same. Forward play is so different when you're dominant. There is different kinds of toughness, and I think that's what the Storm in general are finding out now.

Look at Twal go in a dominant pack compared to before.

Twal is actually causing the dominance

They probaby get 100s of emails similar

Hes trying to re-sign Turava & Sione, dont waste his time

I thought Sione was locked down and Samuela/Latu were the next bros to come.

Turuva hopefully will be a resigning. Love the guy and everything he offers for our backs.
I really think our edge defense improvement is down to mainly him and Luai.

Like...

CMON how do I get "Bateman" out of all that.
Yes as many pointed out. The Sheens signings haven't worked for us since 2011.
Anasta,
Blair (maybe, but IMHO we would have been better with Heighington/Ryan),
Bateman,
Klemmer.

When you mention Crap signing + Tim Sheens... it's kinda hard to know who you are talking about.

The biggest surprise is Twal excelling at Lock.

Agreed though, Adam Blair a lot like Stefano.
Can play well in a good forward pack, being that line icebreaker/ballwrecker.

Papalii fits that mould but for a different reason. Being a runner, he needs someone to run off and attitude wise will give up in a bottom 8 pack.

We are damn lucky to have the pack we have.
