Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Luke Bowden]

All 3 of those guys you mentioned can all be approached in 12 months time. Api and Kikau too... Paying too much on potential now risks losing them

Correct

 

[herbert henry1908]

Isn’t that what Blade said? Or am I thinking of someone else.

Maybe, I might’ve missed it. But I did see him say we had more room to move. You don’t typically give your best offer straight up.

 

[Hooked]

I think the impression was Spencer wanted to go to market to test his value. Blades lastest comment suggests other clubs are throwing silly money at him.
I agree with Franklin we don't want to overpay now when Kikau and Api will come off contract in the future.

They'll likely throw silly money at Kikau, too.

Obviously we need to keep some space, but when Kikau & Api come off contract, Blake & RCG come off the books.

They probably will. I hope Kikau's manager isn't Ayoub.

Don't get me wrong, I want to keep Spencer, without breaking the bank. I just hope if we lose him the club dosen't go out and buy a bum like Packer.

That is it. Tetevano is proof you can get decent player on the cheap.

I'm hearing Zane Tetevano is off to Leeds not sure how true it is

 

[Smug Panther]

Sure hope so

 

[hindy111]

Wow, couldn’t disagree more. He looks a gun prop, and props best years are typically from 21-25. He’s just coming into his prime.

No. I reckon 24-28 are props best years.

 

[BossleyPanther]

 

[herbert henry1908]

No. I reckon 24-28 are props best years.

The stats say props peak at 25, 21-25 is when they’ve got the most power in their legs.

 

[herbert henry1908]

The way things are going we might not have a front row

 

[hindy111]

I feel 25 is when most props put it all together. You maybe right with leg drive developing earlier. I doubt it declines untill late 20s.
But short balls, passing and defense come a little later.

On Spencer how is the rest of his game. We all can see he has huge leg drive but to be successful in the nrl you need more. A bit of foot work an offload etc. Otherwise teams double up on you and we'll you may make 1 extra meter compared to another forward. Big deal......

More in that price range

 

[DrStange]

I think Zac Cini and Spencer have the same Manager so hoping it’s a case of if you take Cini I will make sure Spencer re-signs

 

[franklin2323]

Sure hope so

He is dirt cheap. No sure you get that value with a replacement

 

[Smug Panther]

I want to win but he's human garbage

 

[soc123_au]

JFH is going to have to do some pretty heavy lifting by the sounds of it.

 

[Jane Murray]

I want to win but he's human garbage

I agree, however, Zane is with us.
