Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

Latu sorry

Pencil him in for the starting half… AD could be 13 ?

 

[Tito Santana]

Frizz
Mann
Osullivan

Sheesh... could see the benefit in 1 on a low value contract, but all 3 is a hard sell.

Packer, Matulino, Josh Reynolds vibes.............

Can we take the guy they move on instead?

so who would you target that’s currently available on the open market that would provide leadership, depth and experience?

Thinking Wests Tigers is very much a contingency plan for Frizell if Newcastle cannot find the roster spot & dollars for him. Usually clubs will make it happen so not expecting Frizell to join us as much as he'd be great.

Mann imo is tied to what Doueihi does. If AD does decide to leave, then Mann comes is as that lock/halves utility. Funnily enough same manager lol

Sean O'Sullivan is likely just Moses putting his client's name forward for 2028 given Madden is off contract. But I think Tyrone May is more likely then anyway.

You would expect that this decision has been made by now ? Both sides would have needed to move on by now you would think …

Seems like there are annual links to Frizell. He and his family seem very established in Newy, would be hard to get him out.

Probably adds more on and off the field than Afoa. Although these types of signings don't tend to work out very well for us.

Damn it's lean picking out there. With the inclusion of new teams it's only going to get worse for us.

Frizell is old as heck but off the bench id rate him over most of our other options for a year, until our younger forwards are NRL ready. Hes better than Royce Hunt and Bunty.

We do lack discipline, professionalism and leadership in the middle, all of which he provides. He appears very fit still.

It took me a bit to work out who Watts reminds me of.

It's Butterbean with a bit of Shrek mixed in. Butterbean was a scary man.

Tyrone May will be 33 mid 2028 - Give him a 3 year deal though and sign his granchildren up. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🍻🍻🍻

Would it he worthwhile having a crack at Mitchell Woods come Nov.1? Havent seen much of him this year. Ciro seems all in on Galvin at 7. Can you imagine the blowup at the Dogs if we got him over...
