Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Camel2281]

If we are being moralistic you are correct RHS.
If you would like us to be a 6 or more point better team, then your moralistic view on potential signings should be thrown out the window.
Time heals wounds and people do sometimes change for the better.

But they're not even good players. They're getting cut by the team who lost 15 straight

My Missus come across this story from Ireland. I'm not into Union but this bloke sounds like he WAS a national hero in the land of Guinness & Leprechauns.

Reading pages back interesting takes on Suli and Luciano.

For those who can remember Suli got the arse for sleeping in his car instead of turning up to training and blew out to 130kgs plus and at the time was reported holding marshmallow nights, sitting on his arse and eating bags of them.

Luciano cracked the shits and left because his fat arsed brother Joey was moved on, was warranted, terrible signing.

Should the club look to bring them back F no.
(Sorry Chrissy had to be said).

We have Saukuru who could certainly play a similar role.

We should definitely pass on these two, unless we can get them for 200k and they come with a long to prove. Id rather them than Craig or kit

Ok then,
Is he injured now? If not why isn’t he starting. Cause better players in front of him. We are short of centres cause bunji has been backing toa the injury prone player.
But get where u are coming from in a way. I reckon our biggest issue is back up hooker! Connor would have got us in the finals next season, soi needs support. Again bunji backed hope-less, bad option!
Solo needs to be groomed into first grade then we have Makasini, May, Toa. I have no problem with signing averillo but not on the reported big coin! That’s the issue, he just not that good, remember dogs dumped him.

Yeah I’m pretty sure he was out for six weeks back in a few weeks. He’s certainly not playing Queensland Cup.

2026 - played every game until injured
2025 - played all 24 games
2024 - played 23 of 24 (reserve grade round 1)
2023 - played all 24 games for Dogs

You might not rate him but suggesting he’s not picked is ridiculous. He was picked something like 79 of 80 games he’s been available for.

Dumped by the Dogs? Okay. That’s certainly not how it was reported and he played every game in his final season.

Wonder what they are planning forwards wise if they are happy to let Royce go
