Looks like Sione Katoa is on his way back.

Why is a half back being signed to replace a half back weird??? It makes perfect sense.

We have some in the lower grade waiting for an opportunity, e.g Jack Cole.

He doesn't play halfback

Is the forward that's wanting to come back Jack Hetherington?

 

[age.s]

A bit late, but my take on the Alamoti signing is that teams like the Dogs are where they are because they don't get the best out of their players, with teams like us being the inverse. Add his age and talent profile and I think it's a move with a huge amount of potential. I can't imagine he looks as bad here as he did at the Dogs, and there is of course very little risk even if he doesn't kick on.

Great bit of business.

No it’s Billy Burns.

It will be interesting to see how Almoti and Critter go.
Who will have the better season?
The average player going to a good team, or the good player going to an average team.

Critta is a massive talent. I don't expect he will be anywhere near effective at the Dogs. He will still have his moments though. Sad to see him go.

May at the roosters has said his dream is to play with his brothers still lives in ST Mary’s might be worth penrith having a look at as for burns he would be a backwards step

I'd be extremely happy with him, but I feel it's BMM that will come

Your example doesn’t play half back. He’s a ball running 5/8 or a centre. He’s not a back up for Nathan.

I realise my error

 

[Pomoz]

No need to get snide if you have a different opinion. I haven’t forgotten how good Taylan was for us last year. Living in another country and seeing the lower grades only very rarely when they are played on Facebook, I’ve only ever seen Taylan play wing. I’ve seen nothing from Taylan to suggest he has the hands that Alamoti has.

Look it is win/win; they both have a lot of potential.

No snide intended CWP. No sarcasm, nothing. We all have bad days, all good

Who is BMM?

 

[Sime_11]

BMM = Ben Murdoch-Masila

Terrell May would be a good pickup - fair to say he would get more game time here than he would at the Chooks with Spencer going there and JWH extending another year.

what do we need more of? prop or 2nd row?

BMM made his debut at W/T.
Are the Dogs paying any of Alamoti contract?

Edit: removed.
Incorrectly thought Alamoti was off-contract. Apparently just given permission to negotiate.

 

[chrisD]

And sell off To'o as he would never get the ball anyway.

Momo couldn't pass, Critta could and Staines is a superstar. Tales from the LU forums of Neverland.

Be good to see someone push Cleary for that halfback spot.
