Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Hamstring awareness]

 

[Iamback]

Well once they get rid of Taylan that is.

 

[Iamback]

Royce Hunt has been given permission to talk! Common Management get your cheque book out!

I think he is an Isaac Moses player. So zero chance if he is

 

[MrBlack]

This guy has a huge ceiling. Hopefully we can lock him up a bit longer than that.

We can offer a starting centre spot in an elite team. From where he was 12 months ago it should be a no brainer to have 3 years here. That has him coming off contract at 24 and still young enough to cash in

 

[GowersDallyM]

Marty Taupau could be a handy cheap pick up. Take home for 250k a year over two years and use him as a Leniu style bench prop. Say Marty run it as hard as you can for 15mins each half

 

[GowersDallyM]

Oh and BTW gang I did mention on here before the season kicked off that Alo would take Mays spot....I didn't expect May to have gone through this situation I was more looking at Alo having a bigger ceiling. Kinda thought May would have moved to a wing with Alo at centre but ay got it right in a way.

He was over the hill 2 years ago. No thanks

 

[Chins get the wins]

Agree here. He's the "type" of signing we need but definitely not him

 

[GowersDallyM]

I

He was over the hill 2 years ago. No thanks

Thought he was only 30...not 34

 

[maple_69]

DCE is killing it at 35 and Marty sucked at 29. Age catches up with everyone differently and it has definitively caught up with Marty. He is awful.

 

[maple_69]

Nathan Brown, Jordan McLean, Tepai Moeroa and Jazz Tevaga would be my targets for a 1-2 year experienced depth middle deal.

 

[The Realist]

Alamoti still has significant defensive issues. Yes, the team was highly disrupted against the Dragons but watch him closely if you can look at replays. He had more than 1 shocker in that 2nd half.

I know most of the NRL fandom when discussing a player, judge them 90% on their offensive capability and I have been extremely guilty of it in the past myself, but this 2020's Panthers side has got me looking far more at defensive ability and structure. Alo still needs to improve his Defense A LOT before I'd be ready to ink his name in our starting 13.

Hopefully the Coaching staff think the same. In his favour is his youth and lack of experience. He is far from a finished product and as everyone has already mentioned, he has a high ceiling.

He is still young and came from Dogs old system. Next year he will improve 10 fold. Do you know if he is samoan or Tongan?

And yet still our best defensive centre.....

yep. Easy to forget he is still eligible for Jersey Flegg NEXT year as well.

I'd rather 2 of him instead of 2 tagos at this stage

The thing is. He is holding his own, Likely get him for $500k moving forward which is a decent number.

Not sure we get anyone better, Certainly not with as much upside. Another off season along with building a partnership with the team will help

 

[WestyLife]

So Galvin and Stefano want out.
