Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

just not in our system

He's fine in our system. Learned to get quick PTB on 80%+ of his runs. Only thing you can say is we might need some more centre cover with may out and C.McLean being so young.

We need a centre but if we were going for a winger. It needs to be a big one that makes plenty of metres

He's not a metre eater so much but is great at finding his front and setting up the next play even if against big forwards. A skill he learned here. His defensive decision making is top tier for a winger.

 

[Whino]

He can only play wing. Ideally someone that can play wing and centre

Listed to play centre this week.

I would take him back. But I agree centre should be the first priority.

 

[Whino]

Averillo anyone?

 

[WestyLife]

Averillo anyone?

Funny I really haven't noticed him. Kinda blends into the scenery. Probably makes him an alright option wouldn't be expensive and obviously doesn't make terrible errors a lot.

 

[betcats]

Averillo would be good and we need depth, but really I want to see alamoti next year. Physically he’s a beast he’s score tries defensively he looks ok, had some errors there to go along with some good plays.

I think a staines type signing is more realistic. Jesse looks good for the wing next year. Casey no doubt has plenty to learn but physically he looks like another young freak if he has a good offseason I think he’ll be a serious depth option for the wing.

Hopefully he gets a few games in centre before the year is out. Then becomes a real option

Averillo if he leaves will want to start.

We sort of need someone who is on the way out. Looking to use their time here to get a gig somewhere else.

The backline seems set. It is just filling out the squad. If we can strengthen positions 18-21 with experience, We don't need to rush the kids

Averillo is signed to the Dolphins for two seasons beyond this one. Has he expressed any desire to leave the Dolphins, I’m not sure why he is figuring in discussions. I know contracts don’t mean a lot these days but are there suggestions he wants to return to Sydney.

There was one article which suggested he'd been put on a list at the Dragons, but that was entirely from the clubs perspective, no suggestion the player was interested in leaving. Pretty sure its all dreamwork.

There was a rumour he wanted to come back to Sydney next year. I don't know the validity of it.

 

[Kilkenny]

The game against Warriors was kind of a warning sign, great win against the Sharks but this loss to the dragons at home, leading at half time and blown away in the second half it sort of confirms the warning signs. There comes a point where when you lose the quality that we have for a number of seasons now, it has to catch up with you at some point.

He's playing centre this week........

Named there. Lets see if he plays centre and how he plays yet

Isaiah Tass is a guy I think could be quite a good fit. Not signed for next year, Bunnies are no shot, likely back from his injury after Origin. Wouldn't hurt having him as experienced, dependable, unspectacular depth through end of next year. He's not a guy that would expect to be a walk up start either and is young enough that he might appreciate the opportunity to kick start his career.

That is the sort of guy. Sits as depth and hopes for 3-4 games to impress another club

Yep me likey

Why wouldn't we go for a starter? Tago needs competition on him. Tago might even be a good 14.

because they see Casey McLean as a starter long term and money. Dropping $500-$600k on a roadblock to him makes no sense
