Rumoured and Confirmed Signings Part2

[mxlegend99]

Great signing, a Segeyaro / Korisau hooker rotation will keep us playing up temp footy for 80 minutes. Will be very hard to match that kind of energy.

If anything has been proven, it's that having a second hooker on the bench doesn't work - We need another bopper on the bench to handle the bigger forward packs

Kingston wasn't going to be with us next year imo.

What I had feared last week RE Moseley about him returning to Nth Qld now may eventuate.

Don't agree there. It has only been proved that it doesn't work with KK.
Api and Chicko could prove a very exciting rotation

The problem was that KK moved to Lock when Segs came on - I can't see a difference in moving Segs to lock when Api comes on - We'll once again sacrifice size up front

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Moving Kingston to lock when Segeyaro comes on is such a dumb move, I don't know Cleary loves doing it so much.

 

[betcats]

Another very good siging imo. This kid could push Seggy for the starting job next year.

In my opinion sacrificing a forward on the bench only works when you have a suitable player to warrant it. Think Craig Wing. If you have a bloke that's going to really add something when they come on then I'm all for it. You need to have a couple of second rowers who play basically 80 mins. Taylor, Brown fit into that category. A guy like Anderson in the prop rotation would also be handy.
He's a good player with a lot of potential in a spine position. Shame we'll likely lose Moseley but Api is further along and looks the goods.

 

[ashton]

Rumour was Api Koraisau which is why I had the feeling maybe Moseley is heading on.

But who knows. I don't know if they will be big names...maybe one big name.

Wouldn't be surprised by the following:
Sam Kasiano
Lloyd Perrett
Tariq Sims
Api Koraisau

No inside info at all just rumours I'd heard at one point or another. I'd imagine maybe one of them and a few young guys.

I also think Tariq Sims will be a panther in 2015.

 

[Big Mick]

I also think Tariq Sims will be a panther in 2015.

That was the only one where I heard from enough people to think it may happen.

But who knows aye. I've heard so many things from guys I trust in the past that another club swoops in and takes the guy last minute.

With Tariq he's had a number of clubs after him so don't know what is going on there. Same with Lloyd Perrett. Has multiple suitors.

If we do get him though does that mean for sure that Manu is going to play prop?

8. Kite, 9. Segeyaro, 10. Manu, 11. Sims, 12. Taylor, 13. Docker
14. Peachey, 15. Latimore, 16. McKendry, 17. Cartwright, 18. Brown, 19. Koraisau, 20. Plum

 

[Sime_11]

we bought Petero when he was in his thirties yeah?

Fui could be what we need, an intimidating Prop, no disrespect but kite mckendry grant etc don't exactly put fear in the other packs....

 

[umina panther]

Fui might go okay for a year but its been years since he scared anyone

 

[murraymob]

no to fui we have enough in the front row in the club and with the rumour getting stronger about Tariq simms coming we dont need fui

 

[Kilkenny]

It is surprising Fui Fui cannot at least get a spot on the Eels interchange bench given what we saw tonight.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Fui Fui doesn't scare anyone anymore, come on.

 

[chrisD]

Don't know what to make of the T.Sims talk. Unless the door has shut on any impact front rower and we intend to make a front rower out if him or move Manu there. Quality back rowers we do not lack.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

No to Fui Fui.

 

[Randy81]

The problem was that KK moved to Lock when Segs came on - I can't see a difference in moving Segs to lock when Api comes on - We'll once again sacrifice size up front

Yeah I hate the kk move to lock
The way I see it, is two very fast players keeping high intensity for the full 80.

Not suggesting either go to lock, pure rotation and impact.

The intensity would be relentless

 

[Kilkenny]

I haven't seen anything of our latest recruit as I rarely watch games other than our own featuring the Panthers.


What I have learnt reading the Souths forum is interesting in so much is Api can also play in the number seven apparently. So he has utility value if Wallace or Sowie are unavailable.

From what I am reading he is an amazing acquisition by Gus.

I think it is a product of the marketplace.

I think we are lacking one more impact forward and Tariq Sims could be that guy.

There isn't really any props out there to get unless Kasiano gets released.

There was talk of JWH for 2016 but not sure that's feasible given Proctor re-signed with Storm now.

Manu is big enough to play prop and has been quoted as saying it is his preferred position. So who knows.

We'll have to just seen what happens if we do sign him but he has about 4-5 clubs talking to him atm.
