Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

. Fairfax Media understands Hull KR's primary targets are Parramatta halfback Luke Kelly, 24, and Gold Coast Titans player Maurice Blair, 29, but Smith said the club would be doing due diligence before making offers to any potential recruit.

Does anyone know if Joseph Ualesi will be at the club next season?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I am also keen to know. Him and Alvaro, plus our NYC graduates.

 

[Delboy]

Alvaro starts training FT at the start of November, like most others I believe Lavaka, Goodall, Folau have Wenty contracta, but the club has not confirmed their status

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Cheers Del.

Faaoso to the Eels. Not sure about this one. I suppose the one year trial can't hurt especially with a second year option in our favour. Another mad merkin to the list.

Good depth signing. I like where the club is headed. I reckon for 2016 we'll announce a big name prop.

 

[eels_fan]

If he can play uninhibited I think he'll be a great signing for us, given he would be on very minimal wages.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Coming back for his second stint!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Yeah Richie would be a depth signing, not sure if we really need him. We have a few options at prop next year:

Mannah
Lussick
Gower
Paulo
Mossop
Peni
Allgood - offered a release
Alvaro
Wicks
Richo

Seems a lot. Even Pauli could play prop.
Maybe it's richo's experience Arthur wants in the squad

 

[Pazza]

i guess the coaching staff are looking for a lot of competition for spots in the front row.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

That 4th prop spot is going to be highly contested. Let's not forget Tui Kamicamica, he could be a smokey for that spot.

S

The players in bold are the only ones I would keep in 2016. Lussick should be arseholed and we should go all out for JWH or Matt Scott. I'm pretty sure JWH is up for grabs in 2016.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fa'aoso didn't play at all this year meaning any match payments component would be absolutely free under the salary cap. So if he's on $100k + $10k per game he only counts for $100k. Even if he plays twenty games and earns $300k. If his base salary is less than the 25th highest paid player then he only counts against the second tier cap, and only if he plays first grade.

But for that sort of contract he's probably been promised a top 17 spot when fit.

No chance. He'd be behind Alvaro who is behind Allgood, who's been told to look elsewhere.

I reckon so too. He has a great motor !

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Great motor. Just the thing you want from a bloke who plays half a game at most.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Tui's game has lifted massively since the beginning of this year. Seeing him at Parra today and he looked bigger than when he first started. If he can put on another 10-15kgs I think he would be alright.

We need our scientist.
Maybe this bloke will do?

Tui will be in first grade in 3 years...
