Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JD Tiger]

The hard truth is that we aren't going to get anywhere next season without some more signings. We may even have a worse season.

We better start signing people quick

I think we will sign some good players but don't you think that a few mite be playing in top 8 clubs also we can bring back the Rona rumour I messaged him on Facebook asked if he was coming I got no reply so maybe there is a chance because he did not say no

He'll probably bring Folau with him too. Problem solved.

I remember him tearing NYC.

But probably do not have a spot for him atm.

Last game he scored 3 tries and assisted in 3 more.

He is a gun. What position.

Fullback.

A kneejerk response is the worst thing we could do.Patience should get us the players we need, the main ones being in the off season when the forced trades happen

 

[Spud_Murphy]

I'd offer him that much, he's a sensational player.

Agreed, he's worth it.

Good one the club taking a chance on Oates. Obviously they are paying and playing him in the back row.

Gutsy

Most people don't realise that a few year's ago Cory Oates was NYC back row player of the year so maybe he can succeed there

With that kind of leg speed and raw boned size i dont doubt he could fill the role. May take him half a season to adjust but he will get there.

I cant see any major signing until we sort out the Nathan Cleary thing.

We need cap space to make that happen, we are not going to give that away on bit players until we know what Nathan is doing.

Might be at Souths to replace Chrichton in the back row

Anthony Don has re-signed at the Titans for 2 more years

Doubt we will wait until Nov be4 doing anything.

Cap space..???…with only 7 players signed for 2020..you would hope so... 😕

Latu would be a start if it does happen.

13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Josh Reynolds
15\. Josh Alioai
16\. Alex Twal
17\. Lelani Latu

Don't think we need too much imo

If we play ET at lock we need hard running second rowers not workhorses

Marty would be huge - but very unlikely

Corey Oats?? Maybe

Raiders need a half and we need a forward - offer Reynolds and try get one of there forwards
- Liam Knight
- Solioa
- Tapine (would be amazing)
- Charlie Gubb
- Luke Bateman

Nat Butcher from the Roosters is highly regarded

James Fisher-Harris is off contract soon - go very very hard for him

Merrin wouldn't look bad in that team.

Corey Oates is poisonous - a top notch winger who is demanding a switch to the back row with a huge price tag - buy before you try mentality.
Too big a risk to sign him untried in that position. I see a correlation with Josh Dugan with his diatribe on “Fullback Money”.
We don’t need the tension that would come with Oates and his demands.

 

[Cairnstigers]

If Oats moves to the back row he will get eaten for breakfast

Need a better centre than Fonua imo.

All development players go into top 30 next year leaving 6 spots. Segeyaro joining will depend on what Farah chooses to do for 2019\. Segeyaro not willing to wait wants future sorted now.

Interesting, thanks for the update. Ethan Lowe in the mix at all?

With due respect to Farah, Seg would be a much better longer term option.

He was but those discussions seem to have gone cold, reluctant to leave QLD.
Unless something gets fast tracked don't expect any announcements till season ends.
