Recruitment & Player Retention

[Card Shark]

Yes but we don't need forwards Carch.

Every $ we spend on another forward is $1 less we have to lure a "quality" outside back or 2.

 

[Ausguy]

We don't need 2nd rowers but we need props.

 

[carcharias]

I'd say asotasi is more tha just another forward,
A leader when SOO is on.
A big game front rower
A scarey senior player
A bloody good replacement for Ben Ross .

I seriously rate him and can only see him strengthening the team.
Plenty of dead wood that could make way for him and a strike centre.

Gal won't be happy about the Bon fire I'd imagine.

 

[Ausguy]

We now need to almost start to look beyond gals years. He should no longer have a strangle hold on recruitment.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Asotasi..

yeah thats good. non origin. kiwi..misses one game maybe a season through reps.

if we lose ross, bakuya, peachey, tafua this year we need forwards.

signed dave fifita and roy wouldnt be too bad.

SKD..yeah whatever. Lafai the same. can we get both?

 

[Card Shark]

We now need to almost start to look beyond gals years. He should no longer have a strangle hold on recruitment.

Yes, Gal is past his peak.

So if Asotasi is 31, Gal would be similar?

 

[Ausguy]

Yep. I'm not saying Roy is a must get. Bu we need some big boppers.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

lets get one of them burgess.

 

[carinashark]

2 x Fafitas, plus Gibbs that's enough . Im shure we can find others with that weight but its the more mobile back rowers and centers that's the trend now. Now here's an idea 'Pom' as a front rower, stack on the kilos ( could look a bit weird with that pin head) and start him in the back row!

 

[Ausguy]

Fifi 2 has proven nothing yet.

 

[shaggs]

Why is everyone putting hope on fifita 2.

Like aus has said he hasn't proven anything. He hasn't even played a game for reggies yet.

The bloke has been drinking wine and eating cheese while playing Jim beam cup standard football. I can't see him being anywhere near first grade for at least a dozen games, and he would want to dominate those.

Asotasi fills the senior front rower role that Ross is now. The past month Ross has looked a bit slow and worn. Sure he does what is needed, but ...
Whether Roy does that better, perhaps. He prob looks a bit fitter, younger. His years off with injury helpedore than Ross's did.

I actually don't really care who stays or comes, I just want a decent dummy half.

 

[Card Shark]

Fifi 2 has proven nothing yet.

He will need a full offseason & then there is no guarantee.

 

[cb4]

An International compared to a French div 2 player.

I want to pull my eyes out when I read some of this crap.

 

[shaggs]

Haha

^this times 50

 

[Ausguy]

As I said.

 

[carcharias]

so I am not the only one cool with Asotasi

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Asotasi good move covers Ross, Tafau is going as well how about Jon Green contract up.

The one interested in was Rodney Coates he is only 21, contract up year end how is he travelling

 

[THE MESSIAH !!!]

Former QLD origin player Neville Costigan do not be surprised if he is linked to the club soon, our love for backrowers is known and now another is available

 

[shaggs]

And he is reserve grade quality.

5 year deal with option in his favour!!

 

[Don Tweddle]

so I am not the only one cool with Asotasi

Asotasi would be a good pickup. Assuming Ross retires, a front row rotation of Asotasi/Gibbs/Taga/Gal? would be pretty handy.

Would like Trav Robinson back as well. Are we talking to him?
