Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[timmo]

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.

Here are the 6 players I'd personally try to sign. All are off contract barring Nsemba. We'd need to pay Wigan a transfer fee and then hope KPP has a spare room at his house 😉

Tyson Frizell
Junior Nsemba
Adam Elliott
Tim Johannsen (averaged 145m per game in NSW Cup this year, playing most weeks off the bench.)
Isaiah Tass
Haze Dunster

There's a few left field names in my list. They might not all be popular and they might not be targets for WT.
There's just one not negotiable for me in regards to the '27 squad:
6 spots remaining;
4 need to be forwards

We lack size up front every year.

Haze Dunster is already with the club

But not top 30 🤔

Lemueleu is a good player but he would want a starting job

Iam sure we could move players around to fit him in

May api twal
Lemueleu kpp
Samuel

Or

May api samuel
Lemueleu kpp
Twal

Has been injured a long time
Probably good business to keep him on nsw cup contract

Maka really didn’t reach any high marks , I hope Iam wrong but I think he could end up and other failure to come throw our pathways

He looks way better suited to union, idk what it is he just dosent look like a natural league player

Jesus… you do realise he just turned 19? 🧐🤨

What Iam supposed say the kid played well , there’s a few 19 year old players in other sides who are killing it , as I said I hope Iam wrong

It won’t be for 2027.. we got no money for that signing ..most likely in 2028 when he is off contract …

Didn’t they go after Latrell super hard the last time … and there was a lot of speculation he was going to actually come here ? I’m sure they will tell us what a good mentor he will be for the young guys like Makasini

What he going to do, teach them how to be a grub? 😡

Was there a list of players departing at the awards gala last night?

 

[hank37w]

Yes, Latrell didn't want the pressure of expectations of being the man to go to at WT.

Yeah, wouldn't be any less pressure this time around either after seeing how good Luai has been for us. 🤣

Virtually all the clubs who are out have made an announcement bar us. Would be nice to know…
