Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[ROZELLE.O.G]

if thats the case I dont think we will re-sign skelton

Skelton is a gun, the more the better we need all the depth we can get if this faster style of play keeps on going, the injury rate across the NRL is shocking.

I was watching NSW Cup on the weekend and a couple of my sons mates playing told me something if its true Benji and Shannon have pulled off a big coup beating a heap of NRL clubs chasing one of our old juniors. I got told Mikey Nasser is heading back to us in 2027.

I have seen some of his tries this year and he is bigger and quicker than when he left. I am trying to get a list of stats that they showed me where he is leading the avg metres and tackle busts for the whole Jersey Flegg comp.

Logan Brookes & Jack Attard are both better then him. I hope this means we haven't lost Brookes.

Yeah love him or hate him, he is one of the better depth players you could get in your team

I would keep Skelton, he is at worst experienced cheap depth…but it looks like he is on the outer and they will not be extending him .. Im surprised he hasn’t already picked up a deal elsewhere …

I recall someone here claiming Bula was off to the bulldogs and it was a done deal.

Id be taking it with a grain of salt.

Oh yeh i remember that...hard to forget...day after day after day

As much as I love Leichhardt I’m not sure this is a good thing, I believe part of why the players get right up for it and the fans pack it and are vocal is because we only play there a few times, I’m not certain we would get 18k there every week, as well there’s always next week. Thoughts?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

If you have your own mango tree you get sick.of them quickly

Etc

Great kick made better by the chase

Agree. But Averillo and May would be a red hot centre pairing. Big dramas for the opposition both sides of the field.

Dream centre pairing that do different things. Taylan more about physicality and footy nous to be in the right spots, Averillo is all about speed and footwork.

Some were so adamant he was leaving… still makes me laugh 😂

Beast in attack. 4 tries in 6. Lots of tackle breaks and yardage.

Just checked the stats. 52% tackle efficiency. That might have solved the mystery about why he's on the outer.

The Eels fullback gave up on the chase.....not good

He loves throwing ridiculous, poorly thought out offloads. I still think the good outweighs the bad.

I know what you mean when you say centre pairing R.O.G
But I don’t think we will hear turns like “Cronin around the corner pass to Ella “ or “ Meninga to Close on the burst”
Centre to Centre passing is a thing of the past UNFORTUNATELY

Liam LeBlanc seems to improve every time i watch him

Has Bateman played any games this year...??

Has Bateman played any games this year...??

Been injured. Played first game back in reserves on the weekend.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Would be great to get him back.

He must see an opening watching our current crop of wingers getting a run.
Finger crossed it's an upgrade.

Slim pickings... The moves I would be making are:

Re-signing
One of Skelton or Saukuru on minimum
Mason on minimum

Upgrading Lanyon for Hope on minimum..

Signing:
Blore for the Geyar/Sukkar wage
Averillo and looking to move on Starford To'a. If Averillo falls through going hard for Will Penisini.
Hetherington and looking to move Royce Hunt on

Incomings will depend on outgoings im guessing.

At 6/6 I think they'll still pack it out.
