Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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

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.

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.

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.
 
Is it worth enquiring about Spencer Leniu? 650k?
Seems way on the outer at Roorters (and has been since Day 1).
Heaps of connections here.
His style would be perfect here as impact with Twal and May able to play long minutes.
Would be in front of Sione, Hunt and Sayfart and our first forward off the bench...

Maybe someone like Jesse Ramien too... We are short one centre and losing confidence in Toa...

The presenter on SKY declared Cronulla as the best bet of the weekend this morning.
His reasoning was that Api, KPP and "some other bloke" are out.

Summed up the importance to the team beautifully.

The most over hyped player in the NRL at the moment.

I know he has had some injuries, but I thought I heard on the coverage tonight that he has played 80 minutes all season.

Yes he has impact, not for very long and not always positive

How do you fit anyone else in our cap, by the time all the extensions are done the kitty will be exhausted.

Even if we have Bula’s money we will need a fullback, think money will be tight.
 
Royce and Spencer are the same mould, and I’m sure we’ve got a junior that’s the exact same type of player. This time last year I feel like I’d give a different answer but I think now it’s a pretty firm no
