Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[murraymob]

There is no doubt if he goes to the tigers we have major problems as he is no hope of being fullback there.Bulla is a fullback for many years .Can no see them paying him overs as he will be a winger

 

[WestyLife]

I thought Bula was the FB future for the Tigers?
Edit. Just read the story they view him as a centre.

Why would he do that? I'm genuinely confused.

 

[betcats]

I love Tito his energy is great and he is rock solid its rare to get a rookie who is so safe but overall im not to fussed. I think Alamoti is bigger talent over all and a much better attacking weapon, from his 1 FG game and his cup games ive seen he is fit and has been in everything in cup, always working. He'll slot straight in.

 

[betcats]

Also I dont think anyone his offering him fullback money, I do think some clubs would be offering more than what we reportedly offered. We just locked up May and Tago and extended Alamoti. I think we want to keep him but only at our budget.

Agreed just weird he'd go to play centre.

Extra money and play with Cousin Api is the only reasons I can think of.

Centre wing doesnt really matter, if he does go to tigers its for more money.

 

[murraymob]

I

Agreed just weird he'd go to play centre.

I would love our centers playing him he would get carved up

What major problems do you mean?

 

[Iamback]

Jett is probably 4 years off first grade from what I've seen

If that. He is well behind Nathan and crew at the same age.

I remember people losing their shit when we lost Puru etc.

We are in a window to win now, If he goes there and becomes good then we just buy him back.

 

[murraymob]

What major problems do you mean?

He is leaving when he has the same first grade spot here money will not be a big difference

 

[Chins get the wins]

He is leaving when he has the same first grade spot here money will not be a big difference

Of course the money will be a big difference. We'll have 4 or 5 replacements ready to go by next year

which is good. Just because Fish is leaving doesn't mean we should blow it over paying for a winger

Yep exactly. We have depth in that position. Fish money needs to be spent on the pack

 

[betcats]

Haven’t seen enough of Jett to judge but he’s 19 and I don’t think he has played a flegg game yet?

The best of our 19yo olds are playing flegg and cup pretty quickly. Cole, iongi, Tago, probably quite a few others were into the cup side at 19

 

[Munky]

Nathan was NSW halfback at 20.

If his name was Jett Plane would this signing even be reported?

 

[WestyLife]

He is leaving when he has the same first grade spot here money will not be a big difference

No chance he gets equal money here with Alamoti amd the McLean brothers coming through and fish leaving ad well leaves the forwards needing $$$ spent.

 

[WestyLife]

Wouldn't happen but it's a nice thought.

 

[mxlegend99]

I hope we dont go for a player swap. Stefano isnt worth the money he wants. Dont see how we get any player who isn’t overpaid on potential though.

Fish really seems like a bargain looking around at what other elite (or potentially elite) front rowers want.

 

[Iamback]

Yep exactly. We have depth in that position. Fish money needs to be spent on the pack

As I said. I am happy to get a backrower and move Sorro or Martin but we need a quality forward in the prime for the next 2-3 years to not go backwards.

Alamoti, McLean x 2. Hell even Cole centre and Taylan on the wing would do a job.

That allows us to put the $350k he was offered with the $700-$800k fish was on to get that forward.
