Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Fangs]

I’m not sure if it has been said before, but I think Illias is moving on from the Rabbits. I would look at him as a back up 7/ smokey for 6 if Schneider does go to the Dragons.

Yeah he is a forgotten man.

Few players around like that around. Jock Madden hasn't had a happy time filling in at Brisbane. I wonder where Brodie Croft is at now?

I like Jock too.

Low key imagine Addo Carr on the wing for us with the way we set up our wingers to score all the time and Cleary kicking across for him to run after....pfff all teams would just give up by that point

Imagine him getting slammed back 5 meters on tackle 2 every set.

We couldn’t sign JAC(da Foxx) for financial and team culture reasons. However I think he could do well at Panthers JAC’s best years were at Melb under Bellamy. Bellyache runs a highly disciplined, motivated and focused group using tactics not dissimilar to Clearyball. I appreciate that we want small front rowers on the wing but I’m just riffing.

The Dane Laurie failure has confirmed we need big wingers

Charlie ended up doing well for us but he did have Critter next to him

That was short term. The 2022 GF he plays cause May got hurt

I don't believe in a god or karma but Charlie getting a ring over that scumf**k is the closest I've come to second guessing myself. Wonderful stuff

Still like Tom Jekins from Knights to return.

Nah no need as Laurie on a wing is still a better option.. Even Cole to centre pushing Alamoti to a wing or Garner to centre. We don't need a plod winger, we need an impact aggressive bench prop.

It's wild to me that Taylan May was part of our Top 30 squad for 4 seasons (albeit part seasons in 2021 & 2024), and hasn't sniffed a grand final. You're right, there has to be some kind of cosmic intervention at play.

 

[GowersDallyM]

Looks like we're playing the sharks... I'd rather play them then the cowboys anyway. Sharks you know what you're getting with them. They play the same style every single game. We just need to shut down Trindle and their edgers. Nicho won't carry them. We win by 30.

 

[IcemanCleary]

I might be wrong but I feel like krystian Mapapalangi would be a good by from the knights

Always good to see junior’s return but I think he will end up in England looking for a starting spot.

Ivan never played Jenkins so no point bringing him back. Not a good fit for us

 

[CCJohnC]

What about Peter Hola from Raiders 25yo Prop 6'4" 110K as back up?

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Would anyone here consider Valance Te Whare and/or Tesi Niu as purely depth squad players?

I think outside backs are covered in 2025 with To’o, Alamoti, Tago, McLean x2, Kepaoa, Fale & Amituanai.

However one of those Phins guys cheap wouldn’t look out of place in the cup side. Both have the potential to play Panther-ball with their size and strength.

Thoughts?

Te Whare could be a very interesting punt. No idea why he was played at centre, way too big for that. Shape him up a bit, put him in the backrow and run him at halfbacks.

Niu I see no use for.

Te Whare could be that bench role that Ivan likes Mav or Garner in.

Just leave him big and give him 10 minutes in the middle.
