Ando's New Signings

[redv13]

I'd be looking to sign
William Kennedy (FB)
Sam Stonestreet (wing)
Aita Mariota (prop)

So, starting side in 2027 looks like this:
1 Kennedy
2 Williams 3 Buchanan 4 Holmes 5 Stonestreet
6 Atkinson 7 Reed
13 Stewart 12 Egan 11 Halangahu
10 T Couchman 9 Liddle 8 Mariota
14 Loko 15 R Couchman 16 Leilua 17 Tsougranis 18 Hutchinson 19 Sele

It may not be perfect, but it's better than what we have now...

How about that million dollar prop that we signed??

We'll fit him in there somewhere.

Are you didn't have an epiphany and realise he was on his last legs this season mate?

Maybe you had him in your KOE cup team

IMHO he's just another potential money pit, with his stupid mullet and his dodgy knee.
Besides, you don't pay half-back money for a back-rower come prop unless you're desperate.
I'd prefer Paseka or Hughes or Bullemore or Max King or Ford or Mariota. Anyone who didn't have a dicky knee, really.
Also, have we EVER brought in anyone from Souffs who turned out to have the goods? I tender as evidence Djura, Maybon, Kaberry, Hookey...

My main concern with him is that if you look at his career, his good years have been under Bennett only. I'll be interested to see if he replicates the same form under whoever our coach will be next year, hopefully he can.

I believe Anderson reports to Flanagan.

To ben Creagh

To ben Creagh

Thank you, that is good to know.

The NRL salary cap for 2027 is 11m. Our spine needs to be quick and clever, with a significant of cap space being taken up by the spine.

What the f**k do we do with the money.?
Can't be on the same as others.

Some pr*cks on this forum love a pile-on, don't they?
"Haha, the dumb merkin left superstar Keaon out of his top 19"
You can have anything you like on this forum except an opinion, eh?
I no longer rate the merkin, okay? It's silly money for a back-rower/prop and there are other, cheaper options with equal potential.
He's only coming to us for the money and cos Uncle Wayne doesn't want him. He has Fifita now and, next year, Haas as well.
A coach who brings in Haas and Fifita. While our coach pulls in Setu, Fale, Guler and some old nags who look like they'd rather be anywhere else.
KK's stats yesterday, against the worst team in the comp? 165m from 17 runs, but 39m were kick returns - easy metres against us. Tackle efficiency 88%. That's some pretty average sh*t. Leilua - who could very easily play prop for us if the "coach" knew what he was doing ran 157m, without any kick returns. His tackle efficiency was 97.3%.
Pretty much the same response as when I suggested that Michael Ennis was not the answer. Laughter emojis and people telling me leave the forum. Well, how's Ennis working out for you, you pr*cks?
Has our attack been transformed yet?
Got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?
Too f*cking right I did, pr*cks.

He is definitely a lot safer at the back than Drinkwater, he would be our first defensively decent fullback since Boyd I reckon. We wouldn't need to offer him as much $ either.

My choice if we could would be Bula or Drinkwater .......

Yeah - Drinkwater looked disinterested and ineffective enough the other night to play for us.

You are entitled to your opinion and everyone should respect that whether we agree or not ......... Lets now wait and see how this all pans out it cant get any worse can it ........... ?

 

[matPORTS]

Apparently a flow on effect at the Eels with Su'a signing means that Kelma Tuilagi wants out. Could be a handy signing for a couple of years (and on less $ than what it would have cost us to keep Su'a) alongside our youth coming through ?

We'll see what happens if Flanno, Ennis, Young & Haran don't get punted soon.
The joint needs a cultural change.
Remember when the biggest problem we had was that we were "chokers"?
Now we can't even win half a game.
How much more desecration of Saints' history and tradition are we prepared to stand?

I wouldn't get too excited. Bailey Simonsson, for one, was not best pleased when Lomax was signed but he didn't move on.
Tuilagi would be most welcome, though.

Considering he’s playing on one leg those are pretty good stats from KK regardless of who it’s against.

Maybe you need to go back to bed. You are kidding yourself with your assessment of KK.

Yeah, maybe so.
But I think we should agree to disagree about this one. I'm not getting drawn into an ad hominem argument.
I hope he goes gang busters for us. But I still think we got one prop for the price of two.

Why is he playing on one one leg? Are Souths so short of cattle that Creeping Jesus needs him to play on with an injury cos KK on one leg is so much better better than anything else he's got?

Yes
