Rumoured Signings and Even More Crap X

[Eelementary]

could always mutually terminate hock's deal with we can land tamou

Are you serious? Hock, as crazy as he is, would add a lot more to our team than Tamou IMO.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

And to add to this 5 props we've also got Junior Paulo, Fraser Musinumua and Daniel Alvaro who will move into the FT squad next year... That's 8 props already on the books plus Terapo who's played most of his career at prop.

So what are you saying, that we need another to make a round number?

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh definitely. We just don't need him imo.

Fair enough mate. Stags makes a good point at the 2 or 3 good young props coming through.

2,5 and 9 are our weakest points for next season AFAIK.

Make 'em live together. It would be like Trainspotting.

Sure, if they can slot on the wing...

 

[Eelementary]

He also has a tendency to turn his back on impact which is a strange trait for a front rower...

This! It really pissed me off that a guy that size spins and pusses out of the impact!

What was it Fifita said that Gallen said to him? "Look at me and look at you - with your size, all you have to do is run straight and hard and you'll kill it!" Lo and behold, Fifita is killing it. Tamou, on the other hand, seems to fancy himself a centre or something...

Really don't get the Tamou love tbh.

Lol

Well if Timmy Grant is fit bring him I to the squad we'll be a better team without him there.

Have you guys given up on Ken Sio?

 

[Delboy]

Still hearing from Panfers people that Grant is not happy, but he is also on silly money from the Elliott days, so looks like we need to get a few off our books before we look at any sort of rep player

Managers are also looking for double what players should be worth due to the new TV money, better to wait and let the market settle down, its all about resignings for current clubs currently

If we haven't we should be seriously looking too. It is hard for winger in a struggling side but he has 12 weeks to find something or i can see him getting the chop.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Some have, and to be fair he hasn't been great this season. But I'm unconvinced that wing is a huge problem for us. FFS Loko could end up there then it wouldn't matter that he is pretty one-sided.

except this one :?

See, now - the Tim Grant love, I understand. Runs straight and hard, and makes heaps of tackles. Quality player.

We've been waiting 2 years - you got an idea on when he's going to turn up defensively? Doesn't look likely in the slightest.

 

[Djay]

I agree we are going to have a heap of props next year but is the quality really there?

Once Mannah and Fui go off we lose so much go forward, Lussick run's it hard but I'm not sold on Allgood at all tbh. Depends on how good Mossop is gonna be really.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Our pack is as weak as piss.

I think we haven't got the rotations quite right. I really think Lussick should be starting with Mannah. Then Fui can come on with Allgood.

But Pauli Pauli and Junior Paulo are quality youngsters IMO. Daniel Alvaro works hard. Lee Mossop is still young.

Yup.

Would of been nice to get him the first time around though! :lol:

The thing you need to remember is that Mossop is an England international. Sure, he's an unknown, but the signs are positive, surely?

Then the "rest of the bunch" consist of
Allgood - a decent 5th prop at any club IMO. Plus props tend to 'mature' later in life - he's not old yet, might still turn into an above average prop forward at NRL level.
Paulo - NSW U20s rep this year [sure, that might not mean anything long term - but good sign early]
Pauli - looks like an engine of go forward at just 18 years of age.

the 2 young blokes could be anything. They're complementing an English forward, a damaging wrecking ball, a fringe NSW prop, and Lussick (couldn't think of a trendy term for him).

I think we're well served there. Hooker and 2 average wingers would make a massive difference.
