Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Luke Bowden]

If we were to get say $300k salary dispensation it would be interesting to see what we could do with it.

Assuming that 4 months salary already paid for whoever comes accross it equates to a $450k winger.

Toupu you would thnk most likley, only if Young is released this year to the Roosters.

Others outside the box - I like that Jojo Fafita at the Titans. Titans would benefit greatly placing him on our system for a year.

Toupo would be a score, big body, good target for Nathan. Never gonna happen, but would be great.

 

[Hooked]

If we get dispensation I would wait till later in the year. In case we need it elsewhere.

 

[Hooked]

I’m a Momo fan, but I think Jenkins is as good if not better.

If we don’t get compensation, can we take T-May out of our 30 and free up a spot? Or does it all go hand in Hand?

I am pulling the piss on Moma.

I think if we get someone it gets put down as a 31st player. I don't think it is like for like.
May stays in the 30.

If Young goes to the Roosters now they may want to move Toupu on early. Its the only way it works

 

[BossleyPanther]

Just top up some deals within the squad. Martin needs longer than a year deal

Correct it goes down as a 31st. But it must be like for like.

@Blade23 Mcclean starting wing rumour is bullshit right? No way he can jump Turuva and Jenkins after one trial.

McLean is getting fast-tracked but not that early.
Unless it is a smokescreen I was told Turuva.

The stage is set for Turuva. It's up to him now. Good luck to the kid.

 

[Michael Matral]

Interesting that ESPN has Jesse Mclean as one of the wingers in our "best side"...

Im not a fan of moving 2 players to accomodate 1 position,but i would go left field and put jack cole to centre and move chrichton to wing especially for rd1.Brisbane will definetly bomb t'oo and turuva at every opportunity.Both cobbo and oates are at least 6 foot 3 each we dont want to give them soft tries.

I agree. Jack will get experience

Why doesn't this apply to To'o and May. Turuva's like 2cms shorter than May.

May is not there so we can rule him out.As for t'oo he is very strong and can leap quite high for a small guy.You can get away with 1 small winger because you will know where all the attention will come to what side.But both they have options left or right.

Critta has to play wing, its not a good idea to thriw in an inexperienced rookie onto a wing, centres sure, but not wing, reynolds will just pepper them all night

I'm saying May held his own and it's not like he towers over wingers. Same with To'o.

It was about the money, no doubt. I believe the Panthers came out on top. We have coverage.

That’s a concerning quote!

 

[panther.mike]

All about money, and his brother.

The way I see it he thinks he is better. We have too many good players even our NSW cup side would make the 8.
