Dragons sign Fijian Wing Sensation

[hazzbeen]

Please god no...be wrong Mickey...to Tupou, no real improvement on Nene except he has a better leap

To be honest I'd rather keep Nene than Tupou .....

 

[Saints Forever]

When focused Nene is very good.

Has ability to make good yardage.

Needs a coach who is able to toss a bunger into his jockey shorts to get him motivated.

Not sure Mary is able to light the fire within Nene.

As for TPA’s, Gordon has has 10 years to do something to help us secure the best talent.

Hasn’t happened to date.

Not holding my breath

Anyone mention Wayne Bartrim ......

he came from GoldCoast not Canberra

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Gerard Beale & Denan Kemp

Andrew Frew.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Haha your silly.. its smart because if they have first grade experience they cost so much more to sign.. This is very smart purchase imo as he will come fairly cheap..

And, there’s no guarantee that this bloke will come within coo-ee of being an NRL player.

Potential is one thing, experience is another.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Tupou is unavailable, Oates wants to stay with Bennett and his asking price is massive.

Don't believe everything you read. Especially what you read here.

You don’t say?

McGregor won't play him anyway , will stick with the favourites, like Aitken, Lafai, f**k would probably ask Nightingale to come out of retirement, took him forever to give Pereira a chance and he was never going to play Lomax if Aitken didnt get injured no matter how shit he played..

Nabuli was ok

Scored a good try in the 2015 semi against the mutts

 

[Belta]

Paying peanuts sometimes pays off, but mostly doesn’t. Fingers crossed this ones an exception to the rule.

 

[Warabrook saint]

Another nabuli

Another nabuli

No

 

[Warabrook saint]

Nobody expected much from Vaughn either. Another ISP

Paying peanuts can pay off. Vaughn and Pereira are perfect examples. Nothing to lose here as far as I can see.

 

[nontime111]

yeah give him a go he looks the goods! big strong fast, coach him up with the skills and watch him fly!

This is where Melb has it all over us their 1-7 they got on the cheap not established, never played or played minimal 1st grade at other clubs, Slater, AddoCar(minimal) Scott, Chambers Blair, Vunivulu, Munster,Croft, Bellamy gave them ago at a YOUNG age, not scared to throw them in and they could possibly win the GF this year

 

[JDHD]

Our best without doubt were Walford and Blacklock , years and years ago obviously, can't really think of anyone else in the last 20 odd years that we have bought as a winger who has excelled..

Lee Hookey went all right

Yeah that’s true but every last one of those players were on the radar of every single scout in the country as a potential rep player. Melbourne just offered them equivalent money and, except for Slater, the chance to play under Bellamy and with Smith, Cronk and Birry

Thanks got it wrong ... I always thought he came from Canberra , I'll admit I'm wrong ....

I see your point, however I’d say Vaughan is not a good example. We paid top dollar 750k which was a lot at the time. (Which caused a forum melt down) Had a form, slump prior to us getting him. Canberra had two 2 good props at this time, one a current test player (Boyd).

But as you say Pereira and others like Dufty, Lomax, Lawry, Luc maybe similar examples, and given the chance shows recruiting from ISP can be cost effective but I say it can be hit and miss.

So true ... just to think it took a injury to give Dufty a go late in the year, same for Lomax ! I guess so sadly the likes of Field have to hope for injuries to get a chance cause Bad Form doesn't get you dropped at our club !!! Sad isn't it

It did with Kurt Mann having a bad day at fullback years ago.
