Flanno's New Signings

[justadragon]

Manly fans shit on everyone (inc DCE + Turbo) so not surprising that they are doing likewise here. Keen to see how this kid goes in the V , dig the hair if nothing else

Like this try saver would our current wingers have stopped this .......... ? https://www.nrl.com/news/2022/05/13/tuipulotu-with-the-try-saver/

Simple answer is no, neither would have the speed to turn and chase

Oh wow. He's pretty nifty chopping trees down! VB's a bit of a worry though.

Note how he was in having to cover centre yet was still able to nail his opposite. Our two tortoises would have just stood and watched the Bronco score.

your absolutely right, a definite no to V. B

Rumour from the Herald that Leilua could be coming back immediately. Hopefully not for 700k.

Let it be true, the bloke is a gun when he’s on.
Get the check book out, we need footballers like Luc.
Moses Suli and Luciano Leilua in the same side, tackle that!

I'd take him ball playing forward that we lack .........

They’ll be the next version of the old Panthers “Hair Bears”
Plus Add in RFM & Tuipulotu, that’s a lot of hair and size!

A younger, sexier BMM, bit of skill and a handy off-load. Only seems to play a dozen or so games a season of late.
I'm happy to welcome him back but it probably means no Luki or Finefeuiaki.
I wonder though why, if it's for this season, we need him rather than a hooker, any hooker.

Don't forget the Ravalava

Suli 189cm and 109kg
Luciano 187cm and 114kg
Solid boys.
How much of that weight is hair though?

 

[Coffs dragon]

Don't forget the Ravalava

He has the size but not the long long hair, unless you count the beard.

I said Flanagan is swinging in every direction to secure quality players - Leilua will fit in nicely to the culture

Leilua in line to make shock return to Dragons

With a tumultuous Townsville stint seemingly coming to an end, St George Illawarra coach Shane Flanagan is eyeing the powerful forward to add value to his squad.

Do I detect a little sarcasm ? I just read about his DUI issue and already knew about the domestic violence stuff from a couple of years ago. Hope he behaves himself if he comes to StGI.

I also just had a look at LL's stats for 2023 and he's actually some margin ahead of both Luki and Finefeuiaki in metres, completed tackle %'s and has way more off-loads. All 3 played about a dozen games for the year.

 

[shiloh dc]

Returning players very rarely work out. He used to be a very frustrating player to watch and i don't believe anything has changed.
If he comes for about 400K - then ok.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Does he have a DUI issue which the integrity unit are still looking at. If he stays at the Cows he will serve no suspension, if he moves to Saints it will probably be 4 weeks....lol

Corey Allan is out for the season and taking up a spot. Surely he will be the one to go.

 

[Victoire]

Yeah Leilua was good for the Cows last year, I recall Todd Payten singling him out for praise multiple times ahead of his more decorated teammates

No doubt some credit will go to Dean Young for this piece of recruitment ;-)

 

[st.phil]

Yeh look he's not gonna get Australian of the year but would boost the strike of the team dramatically - got a lot more consistent than he was at the Dragons under the "tutelage" of Mary

Lets hope the combination of Luc n Deano can nab one of the other two Cowboy youngsters along with him...
All we need now is Hastings and the "band" is back together
