Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Blore not mobile enough for the edge in the modern game but more than mobile and tough enough for the middle. I spoke to an a member of staff when Blore was here and he said the club sees him as a middle. So I would guess thats what he would return as

I always thought that he would be a better middle than edge player. Yes he can play edge and has done so but just think he could be closer to elite in the middle

I think they need to cut Royce because we have a few young forwards who would be looking for minutes next year and not in 28 I think we can cover Royce with juniors

Which young props would they be?

 

[balmain boy]

He's fast and tall only seen him play a few times

He's not tall. He's stocky. 6 foot

 

[balmain boy]

Out = Starford Toa & Royce Hunt
In = Jake Averullo & Shawn Blore

Not too bad, if it happens.

Royce will need to be replaced by an impact prop. Bunty is not as good as Royce.
We have no impact props at the club, if we release one we'll need to sign one. Blore is a worker. A Seyfarth replacement perhaps. A solid prop with about 250-300k max

Considering he played for u18 wallabies last year so I believe he’s 18/19 or got a very good fake birth certificate

You're talking about glassie, they're talking about faingaa

No idea why we signed Averillo? He's honestly not that good and not even fast even if people say it. A little acceleration and doesn't pass. Don't get started in defence. Back up for 2 years on 400k sure but nothing more. He is not a 5/8th.

He’s a starting right center/ fullback replacement…. No more Mason …

Good signing actually ..improved the squad…5 clubs were interested

I think he’s a better version of Moses Mbye

Oh yeh he’s 27

Injured all year

Good.

Yep, Glassie Glassie is very classy. But don't forget KOE right centre FooFighter Fainga'a! He set up 3 of Saukuru's 4 tries on Sunday. Pathways are looking better than ever atm.

I’ve already done up a design for tshirts for Glassie Glassie which is a photo of him playing but in a tuxedo. Accordingly - I have imprinted on the shirt - Classy Classy.

Tito Santana - Marketing Genius.

Have to disagree. I'm strong in the belief that player salaries are no business of footy fans. Their performances are

Then you'll never have an informed perspective on roster construction.

Mbyes problem was his attitude towards effort and the team

Sadly he had the ability but it was like he would just be in cruise control all the time.

Is that bcoz Star and Heath have been playing NRL?

Playing; I use the term loosely.

Would take him as a backrower over Seyfarth anyday. He would make our squad stronger.

His asking price vis a vis Seyfarth would potentially be an issue.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Averillo running off passes from Latu Fainu or Javon Andrews is pleasing. If I were an outside back at WTs, the thought of receiving passes from Andrews would be a dream.

Why would you make comments about someone you have obviously not seen play.

Mbye had zero ability and loved wearing pink tights

Money isn’t the driver if he stays in Melbourne or not.

Rightfully sees himself as a starter......$500+
