What about Gideon Gela-Mosby he is VERY fast and has pretty good has, only problem would be defence as he has the same frame as Addo-Carr

Dogs don't have room in their cap. They are offering us Eastwood and B Morris.

Morris could be good for one season but I'd prefer just to wait and see who else we can get.

I wonder what position Ivan is thinking about for the #30 spot?

So Moses Suli is freely released by our club (cmon you are almost starting center, you don't go easily in your first year).

RTS is rumored to be looking elsewhere. Suli is on a 300K per year contract. … We had 600K left in the cap.

Reckon were after a center? The question is will it be RTS or Tui?

Soo.. who do you all think we'll target now that we have another roster spot open…

RTS 😛ray:

Would love RTS but cant see that happeing this close to the season starting. Maybe mid year if warriors are stinking it up

What do you mean "if" the Warriors are stinking it up, should be "when".

Definitely when not if…. How good I forget that Kearney is their coach.

I saw last night on Nathan Gardner's wikipedia page (former Sharks players caught up in their drug scandal) that it says he is signed to the WestsTigers … another forum page says he signed just before christmas .. ?? fake news .. ?? Anyone know anything about this .. ??

I saw something similar a month or two ago, but couldn't find any real evidence.

Suli was on 433k a year. So we got about a million to spend on two players. Can buy a top representive player for that. See who comes available later on.

Think it was the right decision but we were already looking thin in the outside backs so I think we will be looking for a centre/wing/fullback

If you look we have only Milne and Masters as centre with Fonua and Kev fighting it out for the wing / outside back position.

Be interesting to see if they go for someone more experienced or bring a young bloke in with speed. I'm ok with either and I'm sure Ivan knows what he needs both for this year and also moving forward.

Fonua can play centre.. Mwz, thompson and naiqama can fight out for the other wing spot. bit of depth there actually.
 
We should go for V Kikau/Taukeiaho and RTS/J Roberts/K Maumalo/A Uate - That would equate to about $1 million and if it is less then we can front load for 2019!

I was just checking around on wiki pages of players and check Tuivasa-Shecks out it is all BS out there!!!
 
I’m not concerned about Suli’s defection to the dogs, I don’t think the boom placed on him was justified on what he showed in 1st grade -commentators waxed lyrical every time he touched the ball, based on the size of contract we gave him, mainly due to high interest from rival clubs at the time. If he was worth pursuing the Storm would have had another crack at him, having come close to securing him last time.
May end up be an expensive half-time orange peeler at the Dogs.
 
Personally, I think we should sign two minimum wage players for the rest of this season, then try to sign either RTS or Mansour depending on how Tui goes at fullback

We've tried that and it doesn't work. Two top line young players on the cusp of NRL selection who will push for NRL spots would benefit but I think Cleary has other plans.
 
So we have roughly $1m for 2 spots for 2018.
We can either;
a) Buy a $1m player for 2018, either now or mid year, OR
b) Wait and see if someone comes available (now or mid year), but if they don't then all good, for then we can front end existing contracts, meaning for 2019 we could have room for 2 $1m players.

I know we don't want superstars, we want a team playing for each other. But when we start to get that, we can slot the superstars in (Cleary Jr) and all would be well.
