Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Who's good enough…?

I reckon Taumalolo shoud replace Musgrove..

Absolutely ?
If not Taumalolo, my packing order is:
S Burgess
M Taupau

Honestly when Newcastle offered 1 Million for Klemmer I was thinking
$1 Million for Taumalolo is worth it. Sadly he ain't going anywhere. (but a few offers could at least force the cows to pay market rates).
Not many players, particularly forwards would command the 1M. I would agree S Burgess and M Taupau are around that mark.
For 800K I would gladly sign Fifita. Tamou could command that much.

The big problem in our front row is that we have signed a lot of Good but not great. Packer, Mats are good. But no one in our forward pack is going to win games for us. We need to identify raiding targets and start working on them.

I think the Titans are prime to be raided. If they have another year without results their front row is going to go wandering.

when is taumalolo off contract may i ask?

Isn't he 2 years into a 10 year deal?

That is correct .. !! I'd be surprised if he can last 10 years playing the way he does. Big risk to a club to sign a player to a 10 year contract at over a million buks a season .. what happens if he get get badly injured say in year 6 of that contract .. are still going to pay him a million bucks a season if he's out injured .. ??

Should we target Brandon Smith for there is a chance he may walk from the Storm because of Cameron Smith's 2 year deal.

I think Storm will retain him since I reckon Can Smith won't last, but if B. Smith is allowed to test waters we should at least consider. In a few weeks Liddle will be able to start showing his progress and fitness. If he goes down again, we know the answer don't we?

That’s good, okay he can play, but would have cost us a motza and there is a big injury cloud hanging over him. We have to save the big dollars for a player who is about to hit the top of their game not one who is on the slide

Sorry SuperCoach- not having a dig at you here but gee, what player is good enough? According to us they’re either too slow, too small, a plodder, past their best, untried, can’t defend, can’t attack, not a good bloke, too nice a bloke.
Let me tell you - Wade Graham would make our top 17.

I agree, we would have wasted a huge chunk of cap to get him here, and he had 4 injuries last year, it would have been a huge risk, one I wouldn't have took, not doubting his talent though

One that isn’t approaching 30, halving just come off a knee reconstruction. He has “yesterday’s hero” written all over him. For as many people saying he’d be a bad signing, there would be just as many calling him a bum and berating the club for signing another has been.

I know where your coming from and I agree Wade is a classy player. I just think for us to have lured him to Concord would have cost us a squillion and there are plenty question marks hanging over his header fitness. Personally I like the idea of targeting guys like Matterson,good classy footballers with plenty of upside still to come. Okay you need the classyold heads in your roster, but we have a over supply at present

Fair call - he would have been top dollar. I would like us to have a current rep player or two in our roster though.
