Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yeah, that was my fear as well BWG, what a waste of a talent. Anyway fingers crossed that Latu gets his chance in the correct spot.

and no injuries

Dragons are going after the Phins attack coach Nathan Fien that’s what we need to be doing

I think it helps when you have that dolphins backline...
we do not

Our attack structures weren’t NRL standard regardless

You either havent followed the club for long or your judgement is clouded.

Terrell May
Taylan May
Samuela Fainu
Sione Fainu
Latu Fainu

I look at those players and think every single one is a good signing.

As for the fringe players..

Manase will have the chance to come back via Ron Massey... the same way I could go and trial for them... so whats the problem?

Tyrone isnt coming.. so I dont knowwhat you are on about.

Go and watch the 2nd half of the mayday podcast and listen to the way terrell commits himself to this club over playing for Samoa in the world cup. it was bloody refreshing to hear that he means business... with some luck we will see terrell evolve over the next 12 months.

U can forget Taylan coming he just resigned to stay in super league

When was the last time they were NRL Standard? 2011?

So at this stage, Reuben Garrick & Tommy Talau are their 1st choice wingers!

5 hit ups then a kick to the winger might not cut it next year...

 

[Flippedy]

Huh? 🤔 are you living his life? Nobody cares what you would do in his position because you are not him .. seriously wtf is wrong with you?

Nothing is wrong with me champ. It’s an opinion on a forum.
Perhaps you should look in the mirror and ask yourself what is wrong with you that you need to overreact so vehemently at such a benign comment.

This Manase thing getting way more bandwidth than it deserves. He wont be anywhere near our first grade squad next year.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Those guys weren’t in jail for years though. The point isn’t just what they did, but where their life has been for the last few years. There were calls to sign him before he even had gotten out of jail. No wait and see how he adjusts to life on the outside again and seeing if he’s doing something productive. It was “we need to sign him” while he was still living in a six by six.

So what if they didn't see the inside of a gaol cell? They're still degenerates and the Roosters aren't above signing blokes with checkered pasts as long as they suit the clubs plans. Michael Jennings is another, bashed and raped his wife. Didn't see the inside of a cell, bloody well should have though. Found liable through a civil suit (and yes I know the burden of proof is lower, but they're not awarding someone half a million because they think he didn't do it.)

Roosters: hey Michael, how'd you like to come back and have a swansong in the NRL?

So no, the Roosters will be desperate enough to sign degenerate shitheads when it suits them. Yeah, they're not talking about bringing them back to the NRL by playing for the Long Bay Wardens first XIII but just because they didn't see the inside of prison doesn't mean they aren't heinous individuals in their own right.

Anyway, I'd humour them sign Manase if it means hanging on to them, as you say we are that desperate and I agree with that. If he comes back through 3rd or 4th grade and actually looks OK great we have a backup, if not oh well he can go be a brickies labourer or go back to gaol if it so suits him. The NRL might kybosh it all anyway and this is all moot.

Clearing the decks for Herbie

No doubt

I bet Garrick would be our first choice winger as well (if not one of our first choice centres or fullback). Roosters will also have Ramsay and Rex as options.

This is assuming they make no other signings, surely now Tupou is leaving his salary was up to $1m in the cap.

I hope we're clearing the decks for Kurt Donoghoe in 2028 tbh.

May not be a big name but his skill & toughness as a lock would complement Latu & Javon moving forward imo.

Look at the width it creates the Phins when he comes on to play that role and pushes Katoa & Nikorima that bit wider.

He could make our edges lethal not to mention add more starch in defence.

Agreed one of my favourite players ATM

Ideally Mann is our bridge to Donoghoe in '28. Maybe Api & our Fijian lads can have a word in RLWC camp.

Tyrone even...

 

[batboy]

They signed Dominic Young’s brother to get him to go there just to play RMC

How many years did he get for the blokes he Stabbed at Church?
