Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Kilkenny]

Nah that bloke just chases cash and good on him. He'll end up elsewhere

No doubt he will but I just don’t see any 110-118kg wide running back rowers either at our club or who are potentially available? It is slim pickings from the established players, unless the club can find a gem from the junior ranks of other clubs?

Ivan was old enough to blood Soni Luke. Perhaps he needs to be bold enough to debut Riki in place of Salmon for a game or two to see whether he is up to NRL. Not that I think Jaemon is doing @ bad job, he has been good, but just to see how Riki might measure up. Maverick Geyer certainly needs more time in NSW Cup he is a year off NRL.

I am happy for Luke's spot to rotate. You can't carry 2 specialist hookers.

The guys they are looking to the future with if that is Riki then agreed

Could be a smokey during Origin to backfill Martin. He's on a development deal though, so needs to wait until later in the year anyway.

Sorensen in doubt for Friday night, could no doubt play if needled up, but I’m not sure it is worth the risk. If he is out it will be interesting to see whether Ivan takes the safe option or goes with a debutant. Personally, I think he will go with Chris Smith Which I can understand, he is a great kid and will never let us down. Chris Smith played in NSW Cup on Saturday so he must have flown home in advance of the NRL side who had there rehab/recovery on the GC before coming home. I assume that was case because there were no players or members of the coaching staff at the NSW Cup game.

Leota is back. He will replace Sorensen if fit.
If not it has to be Smith he is the only other backrower in the FT squad

Happy for Chris to get a crack. He won’t let us down.

Me too. Not sure where he sits moving forward but deserves a crack

Raiders will be having a big clean-out end of the year. Tapine being shopped around now. Tigers early favourites.

He would be a good replacement for kiks

Probably can't afford him.

 

[BossleyPanther]

We won't but worth a try.

 

[Iamback]

Yep. Someone like Tigers take the whole contract on

 

[Iamback]

We will go cheaper if we are going to pick at their scraps

 

[Whino]

Probably dumb enough to give him an upgrade too.

 

[BossleyPanther]

How's the Garner rumour going ?

 

[Iamback]

Probably dumb enough to give him an upgrade too.

Probably make him Captain number 6 to go with it

 

[Iamback]

How's the Garner rumour going ?

No offer from Tigers yet.

 

[Roosters rule]

How's the Garner rumour going ?

Between Penrith and the Dolphins atm. He told the Tigers pre-season he was going to Manly. That didn't happen. They haven't bothered to re-sign him and he still wants out.

 

[WestyLife]

We won't but worth a try.

Exactly. This is what the Storm do.

Find good players in lower ranked teams and offer them a chance to play finals for a cheaper contract. Those players then play at closer to their peak as they want to stay in the top 4 team or pick up big money from a desperate club.
