Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

Does he play centre? And if he’s highly rated how come he hasn’t debuted for the tigers?

Edit: looked at hid highlights, he does play centre. Might make some sense as a swap.

Hes supposed to be very quick. The tigers were doing ok for outside backs last year plus no reserve grade perhaps was a factor. Although they did bring in a winger mid year so who knows.

That’s interesting I didn’t catch that at the time. Definitely wouldn’t want anything like that going on if true.

Think the dates are coincidental? I don't.

Sounds likely, he is a winger from memory so it would make sense.

@franklin2323 used to mention this guy a bit, I don’t know much about him.

His Sg ball highlights from 2018 are very impressive, was the leading try scorer for the Australian school boys on their end of season tour of England that year.

When we had a stack of back injuries McGuire picked Reece Hoffman over him for a wing debut v souths. Found it surprising as both were development players yet Cini was a year older and from what I’d seen looked more promising. His body shape and the way he moves reminds me of Tom Turbo

Maybe Madge doesn’t rate him for some reason, or maybe it’s just cause he was an Ivan signing. Coaches are weird like that sometimes

In his YouTube highlights he’s playing centre mostly, but it was from a few years ago.

I would trust that over my memory, even better if he’s a centre.

Ironically, Aloiai, has now left.

Cini has played everywhere in the backs in the lower grades. That versatile. Got got pace and a good fend. Former St Doms lad.
I would love to get him back.

Oh well he’s probably as good as we are going to get from you for Laurie so I can’t complain if that is what is going on.

Sounds like an ideal swap indeed. Plus you can never go wrong with a St Doms lad (being one myself!)

 

[Jane Murray]

Looks the goods.

He is a weapon. Faster than Staines he was the star of that Ball team

Plays anywhere. Is smaller but so fast was better than Crichton in that Ball side

Yeah he sounds promising. It sucks losing Laurie but getting a local junior back would help.

He’s listed as 189 so he’s not short. I saw him for the tigers in the nines, he was definitely skinny he probably needs to fill out a bit.

 

[Westernised Panther]

Damn! He does look good.

Very impressive

 

[goldcoastpanther]

Cini only problem is his defence. He was a poor defender in the lower grades.

you might be talking about the trial we played v panthers at the start of the year as he didn’t play in the 9s

 

[herbert henry1908]

Anyway, it’s good the club is seemingly playing hardball over the Laurie & Burton releases.

I reckon the dogs will be desperate to get Burton early as well, otherwise it’d be two years in a row for Burton with hardly any FG footy. Not good for his development.

I saw him at oztag the other week after the bubble ended. Up to 98kg now so decent size

He would be a centre but a wing option would be fine
