Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bellend]

If he wants a 1st grade career with us, he'll need to live up to his word (I'd play prop for Benji) lol

Was told this morning do not if he looks for a way out very soon.

Yes and as I keep saying lack of speed, both out wide and in the forwards was a big contributor for those poor results.
You need someone who can carry the ball at speed and be a genuine line break threat in the middle or on the edges, we just think we can rely on power tj trample opponents which only ever happens from Samuela on occasions, Pole on occasions and Royce Hunt on occasions.
KP when playing helps with his size, speed and offload ability, but we need him running onto the ball at speed like he was doing early in the season. He had already fallen slightly into plodder mode shortly before his season ending injury.

we lack speed and a play that side step off each feet.

People thinking we are keen to bring Jaydem back 😂

Sean O' has been around a while eh and never really locked a job in.

I'm not convinced he's better than Madden.

The problem with potentially signing Sean O’Sullivannis I highly doubt he would agree to sign with us unless we promised to give him an extended run as our NRL 7.
I like him as a player and think he is underrated, but I am not sure us having him at 7 would make us a better team than having Latu at 7 and either Doueihi or Andrews at 6?
Maybe his vocalness and leadership at 7 could be just what Latu needs to assist him being our regular 6?

Kris by the length of the Flemington straight. Skelton cannot jump & regularly makes poor defensive decisions, Yes he is good out of yardage and can finish when 1-on-1 but most wingers should tbh.

Not only the factors you have pointed out, but Seb Kris is predominantly a centre who can play on the wing or fullback if required.
Not to sound like I’m blowing my own trumpet, but I was posting about us potentially signing Jake Averillo long before it happened, so obviously I am happy with his signing and think it will improve us with the extra speed and skill he can provide.
But he is not bulletproof, he has always been known as a player who mixes his form and does have days where his defence is poor.
This being the case, there will no doubt be times where our supporter base are wanting him dropped and asking for a better option.
Currently we have no better options as a right sided centre even if Averillo is playing poorly.
We need someone who is a good quality right centre to keep Averillo on his toes and be an option if he is injured or out of form.

Are you taking the piss ?

Mate it’s obviously O’Sullivan 😂, i was worried it was Bud Sullivan when i read someone saying Sullivan

would be nice to see Shuster have a big off season with us and push for a start in an ideal world

That would be the worlds worst kept secret. Everyone is anticipating a request for a release. The surprise will be if he doesn’t ask for one.

Possible, but I won’t be holding my breath waiting for him to become a genuine NRL halves option for us in 2027.

Unless he has had a severe attitude makeover, I don’t see him cutting it.

110% makes good reading if it does not happen. Can see Danny W and Dean R wetting themselves over it.

At the very least an article will be drawn up regarding his discontent.

 

[Betterdays22]

Could Tyrone be the experienced player needed to put around our young halves, if AD leaves?

Schuster is an interesting option also.

Think Schuster at this stage is a "nice if it comes off", rather than being able to count on him to provide anything in the way of actual depth at the moment.

Question is, would any club (apart from the Bears) actually want him?

Douehi would do as he is told under the coaching of Bennett or Bellamy and could prove valuable. I get the feeling he thinks he is doing us a favour by staying "loyal".

Benji is the substitute teacher of coaches.

The problem
Is Moses will want a payment from us as part of Douhie’s release. Which will count against the cap. We must resist this.

 

[Bula]

Every club wants him. He can dry clean the jumpers.

so moses gets to clip the ticket on the way through, worth it to get Douhie out bad for culture and not a halves player

Dogs could use him
Perth
Melbourne if Munster leaves

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Bula wasn’t good yesterday
He has looked great at times but not for a while, sometimes he just doesn’t look switched on but I get he’s a relaxed dude
We hear he’s busted but then he’s picked for Fiji which isn’t great for the Tiges who pay him
Latu for Fiji I do like even though he has had his injury problems he needs a gallop
If Bula does need surgery I’d rather it was now not November
Anyone know his situation?
