Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[innsaneink]

Cant see that being reported anywhere. Who really cares if he gets a train and trial and bounces between Cup and RMC for the year?

Regardless, its not like the Tigers are begging him to come. We have enough to be embarrassed at the moment, we don't need to be making things up.

Someone here said it (medical)

T&T...isnt that what we gave Afoa and herbert?
That went well.

I know that automatically doesnt infer Folau will end up the same....but with this club it just seems so short-sighted///like the Mav geyer signing, just a waste of time and doesnt progress us at all imo

Man, we love signing a PR nightmare, re: Folau.

Reminds me of signing Loti Tuquri all over again .. !!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Why don’t we see what SBW is doing while we’re at it.

Except Lote was 7 years younger, coming straight off playing for the Wallabies.

Lote was awesome in his first year. Scored a try with his first touch.

Or Dragons are getting rid of him because their pack has 3 very good young back rowers who have each announced themselves as first grade ready.
Why do you assume Leilua will cost double the money? He might do, given he is far more talented. But as you say, he is also approaching 30 and a reputation for being a lazy trainer (true or not the rep is there). Doesn't seem like this will add up to him being offered big money for his next contract.

Leilua at a fair price would be a great pick up, a bit of a risk regarding his attitude but when he's on, he's awesome

I see the Titans have pulled their offer off the table to Jesse Arthars

At least he'll be able to mentor the likes of Makasini, Tavana, Glassie in the aerial component of the game lol

If he joins ..just add it to the meme club narrative

If he is starting winger come round 16 I will agree with you

What about Round 20?

Lote was good for us

Had Lote caused controversy other than being a union convert?

 

[Betterdays22]

What about Round 20?

If he has legitimately leapt frog Tavana, Skelton, Lauli'li, Turuva, Saukuru and Faiinga'a by round 20 I will actually be stunned.

Because he is poo

Afoa has been a bit of a disaster, Herbert has played way more than he should have but not sure he has been a disaster.

I'll wait for actual confirmation because i'm pretty skeptical of the whole story

The meltdown on here might be more exciting than the game time he may or may not get. It's a train and trial for gods sake - people going on like it's a marquee mega contract.

Tavana leaped them all and we just saw his game

I think I’ve found the source of the “medical “ rumour …Bungers and his 22 followers

I think we can shut that one down ..

T&T doesn’t mean first grade tbf. He could just be playing RMC.

I'm not a fan of the guys views, however the reality is we are lacking some real experience in the backline....and before everyone responds, i don't actually mean for him to play in first grade, rather as a sounding board and opposed session player to teach our young backs a thing or two about what it takes to be an elite player on the field.
