Rabbitohs rumours, signings, injuries etc

[Rabbits20]

Paasi maybe.

Southy show me where to sign mate.....

I'd probably faint in disbelief if we could get both Beale and Paasi....

 

[Rabbits20]

Now that benji has gone back to the west tigers I wonder if they'll take Farah back as well.

Haha let us dream.....

 

[Curns13]

Well if you think about it. We would have a back 3 of Gagai, AJ and Beale. They can all play fullback or centre even if it's not their best position they can still play. With GI and maybe hunt in centres it's looking a lot better back there. Honestly fuimaono has been great back there as well I wonder if maybe he prefers centre over second row. But I also really like hunt so either way I don't mind.

Fui has looked awesome in the centres the last couple of weeks. He's not as big as other second rowers so centre might be his spot. He runs with ferocity and always seems to poke his head through the line from out wide.

There was a manly fan that I was speaking to the other day. Tried to convince me that fuimaono was a shit player I just looked at him and laughed. How can you claim to love rugby league when you have no idea about the game.

I think Fui could be awesome in a few years when he has bulked up a bit.

 

[Curns13]

We need one more prop but I have a feeling we won't get one.

If the twins are both playing up to standard, I really don't think we need to spend big on another prop. Tom, George, Musgrove all get big minutes and that leaves Clarke, Cherro and whoever we get to replace Tyrrell to fight it out for one last spot. There will be weeks where we won't need 4 props or perhaps Sam can play prop and Murray play lock if we desperately need bigger bodies. We can't spend more money on props as the twins are already quite overpaid atm.

Also, the Broncos just beat the reigning premiers by 22 with a prop rotation of Blair, Sims, Pangai Jnr and Ese'ese. Those guys would be barely making $1M combined.

Yeah. You don't always need size to be really good but it certainly helps. He might start his career in the centres and more to the second row like Jason Croker did with the Raiders. Where ever he ends up, I think he'll be at worst a very solid player for a decade.

 

[Souths Till I Die]

We need to move Surgess to prop if anything. It makes the most sense. Cameron murray is an insane player. I wanted the club to get JDB but it looks like Murray is our next lock anyway.

 

[rabbitohs95]

Id like to just get a solid backup prop and outside back. Tagataese/Paasi and Beale pls.

I hear you.

I think first off we need a winger like Beale....

Maybe we keep Cherrington as back up.....

Yeah Murray should be starting in the 13 next year.

Crichton plus Sutto/Fui in second row!!!!

If we get Beale that means we have 3 backs very good at shit work which will ease pressure off forwards coming through like Murray:

Gagai
GI
Beale

They need Hunt to also pull his finger out......

If Murray makes us 8-9 hit ups and makes his 35-40 tackles that's all he has to do. From what I have seen Murray is already a much better player than Turner!!!!

If Farah goes and Cook got injured I'm certain Murray could fill in at hooker if needed!!!! He played there a bit in his junior days I believe.


1. Gagai
2. AJ
3. GI
4. Hunt
5. Beale
6. Cody
7. AR
8. Tom
9. Cook
10. Sam
11. Sutton/Fui
12. Crichton
13. Murray

14. Fui/Sutton
15. Musgrove
16. George
17. Paasi



Then we have Clark, Turner, Talakai and hopefully Cherrington as back up forwards!!!

Back up backs are Graham, Jennings, Burns, Fui.


If injuries hit though in 2018 our depth is a major major concern for mine.......

It's a really nice lineup. Tbh if hunt underperforms fui can slot in at centre and you can promote talakai to bench second row. There's a lot of options for flexibility there. Or you could bring in graham shift Gagai to centre and AJ to fullback. The reality is though that if we get a lot of injuries we're never gonna win the premiership.

Beale is my number 1 preference for recruitment. Paasi is 2nd. The best part is the fact that these guys aren't expensive players. If we don't recruit these players it'll mean that Clark/turner comes into the team and Graham is in the starting 17. Whilst I really rate graham I think another year in NYC may do him a world of good.

Can't get on the Beale train sorry. His bad defence in the 2016 Grand Final I won't forget.

We should have kept Goodwin....

Now our options are limited....

 

[Rsag85]

Paasi maybe.

Not off contact by my understanding

There was some talk of Souths looking to sign him but I don't know how it originated, whether he was being off-loaded or not.

PREFER THIS R20:

3. Gagai
4. fuimaono
5. Beale
6. Cody
7. AR
8. Tom
9. Cook
10. Sam
11. Sutton
12. Crichton
13. Murray

14. Farah
15. Musgrove

[foreverinourshadow]

if farah leaves use cherro off the bench...Shadow...

 

[foreverinourshadow]

but farah has better lock/utility values than sutton/cherro but murray will get better at lock forward...Shadow...

 

[foreverinourshadow]

cook must stay at no9 no contest from here on .
