Rumoured Targets 3

[Spot On]

Thank f**k we missed out on Blair.

Can not argue with that.

The rest of the recruits looked pretty good.

 

[Spot On]

Guerra's looked good playing on the right edge. Be interesting to see what our first choice forward pack looks like next year.

Yeah Fitzy finished strong there didn't he.

Wonder what will happen with Sione? Can't keep getting knocked out every second week.

Honestly i'd be giving Sione a massive off season, and hope he can transition to centre, in the moga mould, might save his career.

Because at this rate he will unfortunately be retired by his 23rd birthday.

Also Moga led Metres tonight, and almost single handily won the game for them in the last few minutes, and Guerra racked up 150 metres for the game.

I think Sione could go back to centre without too much hassle. It's looking like it'll be the best for the team, too.

We are exactly that away from being competitive - a marquee and a forward leader.

We are pretty much going to have to manufacture them, as we can't attract them it seems.

The problem with manufacturing them, especially the forward leader... is that I feel like you need a leader or two around to produce more of them.

The marquee could come from a number of places, though... Ponga the most likely.

Sione's defense was the biggest worry in centers, not fast enough and got beat on outside a lot from memory. I can see him coming off bench next year. Learning a few things from senior forwards.

Honestly think that is where he is at. And if that doesn't work ..... well.......

He rightly copped it for his dumb penalties but yeah he made plenty of good runs.

That's a possibility, too. I don't think his speed is as much a problem as his decision making in defense, either. I feel like there a lot of of slower but successful centres in the game. Not that Sione is lightning, especially in his current physical condition.

 

[mozza91]

Sione was very poor defensively in the centres at first but towards the end of his time there he'd improved a fair bit.

I'd have no issue with him going back, we need a right centre.
Just get him to lose a few KG's and work on his speed during preseason.

 

[BuderusIsaBeast]

I would like to see Sione move back to the centers. His head knocks are a big concern and im not sure he has the size for the second row. He is still only 21 and things like his decision making in the centers can be improved. Fills a need for the team aswell

 

[macavity]

Sione couldn't be worse than Wardle in attack or Gagai in defence

 

[Spot On]

Definitely not.

Keen on a 33 year old prop? 34 start of next season.

Lillyman is pretty straight up and down. Will hit it up and make tackles. I hope he is cheap. Unfortunately we can't say no it would seem.

I hope we have more in our sights. A lot more.

Lillyman averaged 125m a game this season which was actually more than James Graham, he's a noted powerhouse in the gym everywhere he's gone and seems pretty disciplined

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

If we can get lillyman Dan and Herman all consistently getting 100m+ a game each we will definitely rack up some wins next season.

I think Daniel could easily be a 140m prop next year and I'd like to see Jacob add attacking c factor on the back of that go forward

 

[Bartwah]

Reports that Peta Hiku is heading home for compassionate reasons. Warriors are the favourites to sign him, but would we be interested?

Don't think we need anymore backs, I'd love to see Sione given another shot in the centres as the concussions suffered over the past 2 seasons are a massive concern plus Nick Meaney and Tom Hughes could easily push for a wing spot next season

Sure would rather Lillyman than Starling. No brainer.

We still need more though.
