Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Always shown skill & speed coming through Balmain junior reps before shifting to Roosters (not sure reason but vaguely remember we prioritised others at the time).

Yes he's another short outside back but does possess speed especially off the mark & good agility and has been progressing at each club.

Is still only 19 and another year eligible for Jersey Flegg next year.

Here are some highlights:

Speaking of speed, wonder what is going on with Riley Oitmann? Hasn't been sighted in Flegg for ages. Would love to see him get another crack.

Pretty pointless of him to join Wests when the club has committed to paying the worst fullback in the comp. a million a year to stink up the joint for the foreseeable future.

Genuine question. Is there any reason to be excited about this Mickey Nassar?
Couldn't make it at the Dogs or Roosters...

I know from speaking to my son that he had over 10 clubs after him and he presently leads the whole Jersey Flegg comp for metres gained and tackle busts. Great work from Shannon Gallant and Benji getting back on of our own. Seen this kid tearing it up for a long time in our local comp. Won a SG Ball comp with the Roosters and was leading try scorer for them.

I think he will be like a Chris Lawrence, if he is only half as good as him its a win for us.

I hope what I was told was right I know from my son he is killing at the Dogs, I cant see how they would let him go, if Shannon and Benji have pulled it off it'll be great for us. His junior club at the Concord Wolves is a couple of blocks away from WT HQ at Concord. Benji has always said he backs our junior talent. This is the stat sheet I was shown on the weekend. Dogs had him debut in Cup last week, you can see why so many clubs are after him. Cant see them letting him goView attachment 39074

Shannon Gallant is amassing a great strike rate at resigning talent. Would love to see Samuela Fainu re-signed, amongst everyone else he has managed to grab, it would be massive for us.

I would say he is still rated highly but given the time to work on his body composition & playing against men in Macarthur A grade for Camden Rams (wing). He did play very well in Flegg when he did play but I think club has prioritised Attard, Brookes, Glassie, Nicholas & Huahalu this season it seems. He is still Flegg eligible next year & contracted so I reckon we'll see him full-time in Flegg then.

Exciting prospect indeed! I've seen him play a lot of wing & fullback recently, do you think he has a future as a centre @ROZELLE.O.G ? His versatility could enhance his prospects with us.

mate Luai is off to PNG and I dont know how long Adam Douehi will be in the halves for. Hopefully Latu Fainu and Jovon kick on. I would love if Benji brought a Kodi Nikorima or Nicho Hynes to the club.

I appreciate that but we already have
Javon
Latu
Madden
Doueihi
Schuster

Nasser apparently back as well.

What are you going to do with the ones you mentioned? It's a bit crowded in the halves.

Haha true mate thats why Gallant is paid the big bucks! Forgot about Schuster, wow it would sensational if he kicks on for us, could be massive if he goes well.

He is one I really hope gets to his best - it could change everything.

Would you know if he is getting any game time anywhere? Seems to be excluded from every grade

I think he can play anywhere @BlackWhiteGold , he played for Holy Cross at 6 and has a great kicking game. When I look at Liam Martin, Hudson Young, Dylan Lucas, Simi Sisagi they were all great backs that transitioned into the back row as strong edge runners. Biggest asset he has got is his speed, the kid has always been scary quick and looks like he has got quicker and bigger at the same time.
