Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Black Panther]

I see him as the other way around but it is a couple of years away anyway

Well he is a Hooker 1, Lock 2. That’s how it is.

 

[Black Panther]

At this stage anyway, subject too change.

Yet in the SG Ball GF. Whilist chasing points we bring Ryley Smith back on for a forward and run Scott at lock

How did it work out for Ryley Smith at Penrith? Never quite made it as a Hooker/Half or Lock wherever they played him, didn’t kick on. Hence the reason they signed Scott long term.

Glad he isn't going to the Dogs, but he could have done a job here for a couple of years https://x.com/9_Moley/status/1828941694341132655?t=cRYeNyPUJvHbQFZIeiEE-A&s=19

Assuming Papalii plays second row we'd be
8. Leota
10. Smith
16. Sorenson
17. Henry
in terms of prop rotation. We do we drop from that? All of those guys deserve their spot. A guy who's played as much first grade as Hunt wouldn't come here if he wasn't in the first 17.

If Soro has another year like this one we'll be in trouble

As in injury? Sure we need someone else as depth but my point is you can't just get a guy who regularly plays first grade and go hey join us and you can sometimes play when there's injuries. They're obviously going to say no and probably be offended over being offered a deal like they're a reggies player. You'd get a wierdo reputation among players for doing that type of stupid thing.

Ideally we get a guy in the type of situation Sorensen or Hosking used to be in for depth. But that's easier said than done.

Yeah injury. His ability to play second and front row at rep level is amazing really. Him being fit along with Garner makes our side so much stronger and more flexible

Just another Prop I think we need in case of injury and suspension

Yes exactly. We have young props coming through Patea and Letoi, but nothing IMO between them.

I.E I don't rate Grant or Riki.

Could Jack Cole make a 13 one day? Similar style to Kurt Mann who I highly rate. The games turning into a small man game as is shown by the bulldogs. You want quick feet in the middle these days especially with the 6 again rule.

You could even move Yeo into a middle throughout the game and have a smaller bench. We can't be using players like Eisenuth who is a plodder.
