Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

MTD AD is not a centre but a Utility pure and simple does not like the role then on your bike.

Twal is a legend brings real passion gives 110% never a super star but gives the effort.

You chose your best backline available each week. He walks into the starting backline each week.

Haha, I ain't asking that...

@king_sirro
I did ask though, that was his reply.

Im sure we could talk him into it

John Morris set to depart (as already rumoured)

Could the Storm coach be coming in? 🤔

Dearden would be great, but we don’t have a spare 1.5 million per season to get him,
Some people are suggesting it’s ok to have props or defensive minded players playing 13 for the full 80mins each week.
I’m sure these same people must have missed watching how boring and poor our attack was for a good portion of the 2026 season,

We stopped scoring points when we started losing the ruck ,lost our back rowers and Taylan May
We started losing games when our defence went pear shaped
And if you play Doueihi at lock you will have the worst 13 in the comp
Why not go and sign a quality lock WHO CAN TACKLE and be more creative
By the way when Twal was allowed to be creative , he was
But I don't think Twal is quick enough to put a defence in two minds

 

[happy_tiger]

I wouldn't say he failed in any of those positions... he just isnt a world beater in them.

If your not in top half of the NRL in your position you are failing and need to improve

He hasn't tried wing yet .....maybe that's his spot .....ohoh he is driving laps in the car park again

I believe he played wing at Souths. He is just one of those players who can fill multiple positions

Yet can't seem to nail down a position at arguably the worst side in the comp since he has been here ...says are fair bit

I agree that IF we could sign or find a lock who can tackle, be more creative and put a defence in two minds, that would be fantastic and would transform our team for the better.
There is simply nobody that fits this description available anytime soon and even a remote possibility of joining us.

But the problem is you want to make the worst possible lock option in the NRL the 13

I'd prefer to stick with Twal and improve the players around our halves

Riccio thinks Frizz to WT will eventuate

Yes it was a strong push too must be some truth to it, I posted today thinking there was no chance of uprooting his family but he must be keen to play on.

On the fence with it, still it adds depth sadly lacking in the forwards.

We do in 2028 , but i believe he is still under contract then

Another halves option eliminated for next season. O’Sullivan to St Helens.

St Helens swoop for Sean O'Sullivan in Kevin Walters' first signing

Kevin Walters has secured his first signing as St Helens head coach, and comes in the shape of a halfback to lead them forward.

Didnt realise hes been around so much...tho only 66 games at 6 clubs

I heard we were talking to Ben Teo but I doubt he will come here.

Not sure why anyone who’s ready for a first grade gig would come here to be a Benji subordinate.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Let Doueihi go. He's been tried at various positions without making a total success at any. Yet he had the gall to insist on playing 7 and refusing to play where the coach wanted him.

Benji should have had the guts to keep insisting Doueihi try 13, especially with Twal out. Or better, get the backing to tell Doueihi to look for another club.

But being Benji, he'll probably let Doueihi stay at 7 next year.

Benji made a rod for his own back there declaring him the 7 even before the season started, another rookie mistake from him imo.

They know if we start bad next year Benji will be on the chopping block and they can have a better shot at becoming coach
