Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I don't think Marsters is a long-term NRL centre. Fonua is better on the wing.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Milne and Suli will be our centres. Fonua and Noffa on the wings. We need another prop and backrower. We have our centres.

 

[WT2K]

Definitely need to add another backrower and prop at minimum.

Milne and Suli will be our centres. Fonua and Noffa on the wings. We need another prop and backrower. We have our centres.

I doubt Fonua will be our starting winger.

We may even pick up another player and it could be Fonua and Suli in the centres. There is some competition for spots now.

He apparently has been killing it in the ESL. I have no idea how he will go but he looks like a big blockbusting centre/winger.

from what i have seen in the ESL, fonua will be the 1st back picked, he is a brut. we have enough backs, but lets hope we get rona.
we need a top class back rower and a good prop, and that will do us.

Interesting to read in SMH that Marshall was approached by the Wests Tigers concerning a mid season transfer to replace Moses but this fell through once Loloheea signed.

I'm sure I've read this somewhere :laughing:

Wouldn't believe that for a second.

We Need a Gareth Ellis clone for the edge
We need another centre
We need another Prop

That should be good enough with our other signings

The rest will be back up and 2nd grade

I miss Gareth Ellis! Can we see any one of the current crop approach his level? I was impressed with Eisenhuth and perhaps with some nurture he can be something special.

This is what the report said re Marshall being signed by the Wests Tigers.

According to SMH, the Tigers were close to bringing favourite son Benji Marshall home for a half-season farewell cameo this year, before fullback-of-the-future Tui Lolohea arrived and scuppered the deal.

As the story goes, negotiations were so far along that Marshall had already spoken to Broncos coach Wayne Bennett about the possibility of a release.

“As a club we reached out to Benji at a period when we were looking for someone to fill a role for the rest of the season,” said Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe.

“Acquiring Tui Lolohea meant that a position for Benji was not available and both Benji and the club were comfortable with that.”

I doubt Fonua will be our starting winger.

Why not? He was good enough to be a consistent starter for the Storm.

He played 50 games for the Storm. It amazes me how unfamiliar some of you are with our new signings.

Much rather have Rona come over and start for us. Really don't need 2 Nofos in the side. We are lacking height and primal try scoring abilities. Rona can bring that for us.

We need some height and pace in the backline.

I actually kinda wish this happened. It would have been great to see Benji back in Tigers colours for a half season, especially after all he did with the club. I mean we've never made the finals without Marshall. We could of also given him the farewell he deserved.

Benji would have been looking for a contract beyond this year. Is not the way forward
