Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Where do you get this information that they come from a good family from? They all carried on with this tryhard gangster BS. Sam was heading towards his own cell before he made it here.
Second chances are not handed out like lollies. You have to earn them.
This germ has earned nothing.
There are players out there who have earned their go and they shouldn’t be pushed aside because some loser who has been sitting on his arse in a prison cell for years was a good player almost a decade ago.

It’s professional sport - with only so many spots for professional athletes, all with the goal of winning a competition.

It’s not St. Vincent De Paul.

I wouldn't be letting go of Seyfarth.
He seems a good value contract.

Toa should be first to get the tap.
Royce, I don't mind him but if it meant keeping Samuela, it's a no brainer.

Doesn't seem we have any other big dollar players to ask to leave to make the space.

Need some crafty accounting.

 

[rihannafan1]

It’s tartak giving him the story.

100%. Sounds like he told them "show me the money" and they said 'how? We already have contracts for Toa, Hunt and Seyfarth to pay'...5 minutes later he's off the phone to his journo of choice.

Would we miss any of them B, Seyfarth was ordinary when brought in early, Royce provides impact but with his weight loss I was expecting more minutes but no, as for Toa meh.

you need clubs willing to buy then first.
given the rating some have on toa no club will buy him
he would need to be getting a run in nrl team at playing good football for any club to look at him as a purchase

Hunt might get picked up by perth
seyfarth will probably pick up a contract

It's surgery or retirement for Toa you'd think, wahs wanted Seyfarth couple of seasons ago, Royce maybe some interest not too bad this season.

Anyhow it may not mean all three have to go, we don't even know if the report is true.

I call bullshit on that article, how can we go from a multi year deal for connor watson to needing to dump 3 players to cover an upgrade for Samuela.

 

[TheEnz]

I dont think anyone is saying we give manase a top 30 or even nsw cup contract (i hope). Its more about giving him a go in our system (feeder club) and seeing if he still has the potential to make a career out of league, if thats what he wants and is serious about. We have 3 of his brothers in the club so we are well positioned to support the family and its also probably in our best interests as well.

Wonder if Connor's been landed for 27 only, that would give it legs but the report is fishy, released in Queensland.

Bit like hooking a good fish hoping it's a bream only to find it's an ugly rock cod, sucked in.

 

[kade7]

havent read anything so apologies if doubling up

- we dont need to shed anything to sign samuela, deal on the table with latu and samuela are 4 year extensions

- starford has been told he is free to go next year, i said this would happen a few weeks back, tigers even considering tipping in, if we had more depth would push for him to move this year

- club does want to sign two experienced nrl
players next year

Total speculation ,,,Maybe they have signed Watson for 27 and that has sucked up the remaining money on the cap ..meaning they cant throw Sam a sweetener for 2027…

Seyfarth would likely have some value to one of the new teams …probably would be a win win for him and us if he moves on…

Thanks @kade7 anything on Watson for next year?

Tigers considering tipping in for Star? Couldn’t see any other option at this stage given where his current market value would be

Biggest problem is another club would have to be living under a rock not to notice his dicky arm/shoulder.

 

[Tito Santana]

Wouldn’t have thought Seyfarth was on much. You need to replace him with someone on less coin for the same level player?

Roberts is your man for that spot.

 

[Tito Santana]

I’ll chip in to fark him off

Yep. Can’t argue that comment.

The Fainus are a truly loving family.

Mmmmm…. They really are mmmmmm

Exactly. Especially that Samuela is still contracted next year for $500k and in 2028 we'll have Luai's $1.2M to divvy up. A journo's gotta journo.

And has brothers here. That’s why people are fixated. If he had a different last name, not one person would give a toss.
