Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Blooey]

I understand the rhetoric against Doueihi's actions this year but by all reports, including from his own mouth and the agent side, Adam apologised, owned up to his selfish behaviour, fronted his teammates and the media and said it was one of his lowest moments and a wake-up call for himself. I'm sure we've all made a goose of ourselves at times, the difference is he owned it and wants to make it right. What if it was you or your son? I'd hope we could follow the coaching staff and those who know him and extend even a little grace. Or does one bad day mean burn him at the stake? Surely we're better than that, aren't we?

That said, if it happens again, then it's seeya later.

It's not one bad day, it's happened a few times now.
Get rid of him.

Good point, but I think it's still possible things are happening in the background.. He may have a contract lined up, but has to pass a medical after his shoulder rehab before they signed off on it?

Given the media love WT’s drama, they’d be all over it if that was the case. Since he came out and apologised, there has been no noise. Not saying that makes him worthy of forgiveness, but there has been zero smoke since he came back after his tantrum.

The Raiders have a very good strike rate when it comes to progressing players from the development system in the NRL.

We throw them in the deep end way too early so they either fizzle out like miller or mason. Or become good players and leave like tds and galrat

Just another injury plagued up and comer to sit on the sidelines with Latu..

perhaps more upside than latu and a traditional 7

It’s weird they haven’t announced the departures though, seem to be the only club that provides no information

He probably doesn’t wanna miss out on a trip to Vegas.

if walker goes to dogs then tigers should look at woods from bulldogs

If walker goes to the dogs IMO they will destroy their cap . 1.5m for walker is insane IMO. He doesn’t play for the roosters he doesn’t even get talked about in the same league he’s in . Teddy , marky mark even DCE were the fulcrum of that team . Their basic attacking structures were bang it up the middle and kick out to their giant wingers .
I’m not really a fan of his . I think he’s a bit of a nepo baby.

No he is a trap, he is the most injury prone player in the comp, makes turbo look healthy

They probably want to do it in one hit and still working out whether they have spaces for Sukkar, Mason, Bunty and on the periphery the likes of Vaka Aho.

I liked the way Aho debuted, should be looking to hang onto him, useful stint 1st up.

Holidays or more to it? Fonue Pole has been in Perth training with the Lauliliis the past week or 2 going by his Insta stories.

Are you sure it's been in Perth? pretty sure they've been in Sydney (seen a story of Luke attending his sisters school graduation)

It’s rumoured the Salary Cap increase in 28 will be significant. Minimum 15 million but there’s been figures thrown around like 18-20 mil. This would make 1.5mil contracts sound a little less insane tbh …

But I agree, I don’t think Walker has the temperament that you could build a club around. The roosters have had a stacked roster for years and it wasn’t until DCE come along that they finally went to the next level

It’s Sydney pre sure

Pretty sure Samuela Fainu was training with some of the Manly boys like a week or two ago .. it’s nothing new, just means they have mates from other clubs

Maddax Fui trains with our boys everyday would be nice to get him back

Thanks for clarifying. My bad!

Both wingers gone next year and they did so much work hard to replace

I wouldn't mind Vaka Aho as number 29 or 30 in our roster. Very professional, good defensively, big in effort areas, decent tank, leg speed & has ball skills. Has improved year on year through his development and now 23. Will flourish off a full pre-season. He'll be in our top 17 in future I'll predict.
