Remember the name KOTONI STAGGS! Gee I hate paying overs but I would go outta my way to pay big money for this bloke! Absolute WEAPON! Probably the strongest pound 4 pound player in the league! His speed to power ratio is through the roof! Been following his progress throughout the juniors, he was a GUN fullback coming through! Would score a bunch of tries in all the state carnivals with ease! I reckon he has the ability to become an ELITE fullback! He’s only touching the ball less than 10 times a game at centre, imagine getting the ball to him 25 times a game through the middle! He would be so destructive, so hard to tackle! Sign him up Wests Tigers!!!

Fair enough mate. You're a little late to the party on this one though? :grin:

He's been killing it for like 20 weeks. Everyone knows his name by now. Your post above is like talking up Black Caviar after he's won his 5th race in a row.

Wouldn't surprise me if Kotoni is picked for the SOO games at the end of the season .. Wellington NSW boy .. I'm pretty sure Wellington falls in NSW thanks very much QLD .. so a NSW Blues player for the future .. !!

Since his acting debut, he wants out of Brisbane .. don't be surprised if wants back to NSW and if he does, we would be totally nuts if don't make a play for him .. !!

Why can’t we afford the 4 players I have suggested . We lose Benji , McQueen , Taylor rowdy , there’s also 4-5 others of contact and we get $360,000 back from the nrl , that should cover those 4 players .

 

[finnzo]

The 360 would already be chewed up in people’s contracts for next year I would imagine it’s not like a surprise that we were going to get it

 

[jrtiger]

Staggs, although brilliant, has some pretty telling issues defensively. I'd love to have him, as would any club, but he could make our right side defensive issues even worse.

plus, I think the rorters will snap him up as a replacement for J-Moz. they don't sleep on players of his calibre.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Does McQueen leaving now really do anything for our cap?

Not really

Considering he was off contract and contracts go from nov 1 til October 31st we’ve got off paying him about 8 weeks so about $50k

At best we could dump it onto someone we’re trying to resign for next year I.e McIntyre

could help us get Addo-Carr over the line

No way in God’s green earth will we get Ado Carr.

Well according to Club statement we have too many half’s already and that the reason Benji is let go.
So although it would be great signing I doubt it will happen.

Yeah, seems doubtful unless we can offload Reynolds.

I'll be so disappointed if we sign Tamau. Surely Proctor is a far better option. Proctor looked great this year. Tamau is same old signing last ten years. Hope that rumour is just that, a rumour. If we sign both, sure. That will be OK.

I don't want either.

Staggs might like to link with some other NSW country boys, Burton (Dubbo), Staines (Forbes), all 3 thanks, good country boys

JAC = 48 hours


That was 24 hours ago.

It's now 72 hours. Bank on it.

We should have a sniff at Jack Hetherington. Still has a year to go at Penrith, but i'd rather spend Tamou coin on him. Still young and looking for an opportunity, evidenced by the willingness he's showed in going to the Warriors and has made a real good fist of it.

Those players would cost 1.6 million. We don't have that much money. Simple.

definitely worth a crack. need an enforcer and he'd come relatively cheap. if he did come here Madge would need to ensure his aggression was controlled though

 

[Strider]

Anyone but Tamou. That would be the most depressing signing since Mbye.

I saw DT headline suggesting burton wants to stay

This is what happens at the Roosters ... the boy needs to get on his bike now and go somewhere to play NRL full time .... really needs some good old fashion advice being promised the world ... yeh when an injury occurs ! Get out now young fella and make your own way .

Cmon you can't have it both ways


Use our hospital in cases of emergency and keep all your SOO players

 

[momo_amp_medo]

if JAC is in fact a done deal let's hope Staines is next

I can’t understand why we’d want Tamou when he have Twal....both very similar players for me
