Rumoured Signings and General Dribble XIII

[hineyrulz]

Is this kid a chance for first grade this year?? If he is it is a good signing because let's face it our wing depth is pretty gash. But I suppose we could always put him in the 2nd row if needed.

with the other international back rower, Redrada

 

[Jake the snake]

Correct....

Good signing imo.

Do you reckon Tuitahi will get a crack at first grade this year? He's injury prone but he shits all over Toutai and Sio.

 

[Gary Gutful]

so it's all sorted ...

ben "indigenous ranga" jones
hoppa
fabio

Is Ben officially known as the "indigenous ranga"?

Interesting is that we have recruited 4 players from that list - Nolan looks like he is doing his job

Nolan is one of the best in the business.

I really hope Santi ends up being as good as I think he can be...this year.

Is this the one

It's a fantastic feeling that this kid had many offers and wanted to come home. It's an equally great feeling that Brad Arthur wanted him to come home.

 

[Stagger eel]

I think you're going to have to give him longer than this year, I spoke to someone at the club about him I detail and they believe that 2015 is the year he'll likely to show some improvement..

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Absolutely. The guy has never played first grade. It's a bit much to expect a 20 year old to come in play at NRL standard on a week-to-week basis. It happens, but it's rare, even for the kids that are physically superior (size, speed). And this one isn't.

Fair enough Staggs, but I just get the feeling that he is not that far off.

Even more so, if the player is a forward

I have a mate who played with the tigers this yr n I was speaking with him last week n I asked him about Brendan santi and he said he cant believe the tigers let him go.He said he is a mix between a dallas Johnson n a young Nathan hindmarsh.will be a great buy and is a work horse.

 

[Utey]

Yeah, a 20 year old should dominate the NRL weekly. FMD, dribble.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nobody said he should dominate; they said he might be able to play consistently at NRL standard. And he might; it's just unlikely.

Also, he's 21 next year, not 20.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Maroubra is going to freak when he hears this bloke got moved fr the second row to the wing.

I bet he'd be able to fight too with a name like Fabian.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

There's a running back in College Football by the name of Gurley. I reckon that helped out his junior development.

 

[Avenger]

Santi will play NRL this year. He is a gun.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Santi will play NRL this year. He is a gun.

If he's top 25, then he's a certainty to play a couple of games. Given enough injuries he could play close to a whole season, like Lasalo in 2011.
