Leilua Gets a start!

[BringTheNoise]

Fair dinkum how would the club statistician be privy to recruitment matters?

I'm not buying it.

@GanManStyle @raelenecastle I'm happy with the depth of my digging on Leilua. Dragons two year offer is solid. I'm tipping him to stay

Fingers crossed.

 

[FlameThrower]

Taking too long if supposedly Dogs are not chasing him. Don't let this be a Keary moment with someone at 11th hour gazumping us at the post!

I think Bankstown saint may be an imposter?

 

[BankstownDragon]

I know the guy. He used to work with Des at Manly too. Here's a test to see if it's the same guy or not - what letter does his christian name start with?

Also, isn't he in Brisbane tonight at the Broncos v Bulldogs game?

Starts with letter M.
Sorry just seen this now.

Ok, different person. The name of the guy I know starts with W & his brother lives in Brisbane.

Cool.

I very much hope its all BS.
I cant stand to lose anything to those grubs.

 

[SaintHarry]

Any word on this bloke ?

 

[FireRedV]

Seriously. Relax.
Any story that begins with "I know a guy" you can put down at being around 10% true.

 

[saints4ever]

Not staying.
No info.
Just feel that's the reason it's taking so long

Lucky I wrote "I know the guy...'

 

[duck]

I know a guy that doesn't have a clue.

So have you been hanging out with Mary for a while?

Leilua is getting a start in place of Frizz!
I'm pretty excited to see how he goes

Should go well also gas he's up to playing 60/70 mins

 

[The Doc]

Looking unlikely he will be staying. "Rumour" going around is he has knocked back our offer apparently.
The source of the rumour is not always 100% correct but he seems pretty adamant that Leilua wont be with us.

If it true, and I'm not saying it isn't, then he should be punted back to the 20's and give Sele his debut (if Sims is still unfit or Matthews is ruled out).
The fact he's been named in the team still leads me to believe that negotiations are still in progress. However, if we see him named in the 20's this week that to me would be the answer to wether he's re-signing or not.

 

[twinkletoes]

Also seems like Nene McDonald unlikely to come now

Oh Fu-k , surely this should lead to the board being sacked by the NRL if this transpires. The way it is going Win will buy us at a bargain basement price which may not be a bad thing!

Wasnt it said he had already signed for 3 years? Im sure i read somewhere that he signed?

Lol i wouldnt be too sure about that.
I mean, Benji wont be with us next year, neither will cooper, and by all accounts Rein wont be here in 2017 either, and also Lafai apparently too.
Yet all bar Benji are named to play and Benji has apparently been gaurenteed selection next week.
All this when our season is over and we should be planning and blooding new players for 2017.
So Leilua being picked doesnt really answer any questions about his future as far as im concerned.
But like i said, its just a rumour at this stage.
But it does beg the question, why so long to get this deal signed?
