Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Latrell would be an absolute nightmare here. We’re already in the media enough as it is, we don’t need to sign the human headline. I would hope that we’ve learned that from signing Luai.

As well as that, he is often injured for at least half a season. Sure he can sometimes win a game single handedly when he is on the field and he is great to watch, but more often than not he’s just one brain explosion/grub act away from a send off or a sin bin. Too volatile and injury prone to be worth the money, imo.

Brooks played so much better at 5/8 , and the one thing brooks brings is he is a very good defender

We've never had a depth issue at five eight. Technically now we have latu javon and douhei who are all 6's. We lack the true katoa/cleary controlling 7. As much as I love luke and wish we saw him stay at 6, it would give us more headaches and much of the same
 
Latrell can do things very few players in the history of the game can do... he also has a terrible injury history, inconsistent attitude and comes with his very own media circus (some justified, some not). He is not what we need right now.

We need consistent, professional, hard nosed first graders to build out the squad

Patrick Mago at Wigan reportedly (The Mole) wants to return to Australia. Not sure whether he is suited to the fast speed of today's game but he'd certainly provide impact.

Surely not.
Great player when fit and playing with the right attitude, but his care factor would be zero if playing for us.

Anybody remember the circus when the Tigers tried to sign Latrell the first time (thats how we ended up with Adam Doueihi - Wayne Bennett had to make room at Souths for Latrell). The fiasco lasted for months with the will he or won't he. No thanks....

Word.

I can't stand Latrell and I just saw a post saying all these way better players at the Dolphins are off contract.

Latrell won't be cheap and won't provide value with how much time he is out injured and suspended. He won't be as protected here as he is at South's also.

I can only think that ongoing negotiations are happening with a few of the players whose contracts have currently expired. No other reason not to publish and thank departing players.

It seems that way MF. Here is our list of uncontracted players ...

Tony Sukkar
Bunty Afoa
Heath Mason
Jeral Skelton
Tristan Hope
Will Craig
Charlie Murray (Dev)
Lachlan Broederlow (Dev)

We are currently at 24 players in top 30 & 5 players on Dev deals for 2027 (provided CTM & Godinet are Devs). So we have room for 6 + 1.

Like it or not …There is way more chance of Latrell coming here than any of Farnworth , Bostock or The Hammer…

Maybe Molo could be a realistic chance ?

Kreepy Krawley thinks Tigers might pay overs for Latrell …of course he also thinks Souths shouldnt do it..

Unlike people pipedreaming about paying Dearden $1.5 m …I can see the tigers being much more likely to bring Latrell here on $1.1m a year to play a dozen games a year at Center ..it’s kinda a move they would make

Latrell would be a great move, gun player when fit.
Worth the punt as a centre
Push Averillo to wing
