Rumoured Targets 3

[Knight Vision]

How far away from first grade is Pasami Saulo ? Never seen him play but heard he is a good prospect.

Herman, Dsaf, Jsaf, TPJ and Saulo ? sounds like a good prop rotation.

On that note, how has Josh King been going in reserve grade? He showed some real progress last year imo and I don't think he'd be out of place as a first grader down the track.

I'd say Saulo is at least another year away from being a valuable contributor, apparently he put on quite abit of muscle in the offseason, if he can replicate that next off season he can definitely be a full time first grader. Right now he'd be someone that I'd look at blooding for 1 or 2 games off the bench just to see where he's at exactly

The Reserve Grade game was on Channel 9 last weekend. King was pretty good- he will gets some first grade games this year for sure. Pasami Saulo was OK. The standout for us actually was Junior Roqica, but he's on a second tier deal I think.

Word getting out we are looking at papali!I think this would be a great buy . Perfect big forward that can break the line with ease.i know he a bit off form but he is in his mid 20's and his best years are ahead of him.

 

[Spot On]

Papalii - get him fit, lose a heap of weight, get him off the grog and take his keys off him.

Lol.

Are his days on the edge over??? Into the middle for him?

He is only 110 kg ,d safiti is about that! But yeah you are probably right.wondering what forwards are off contract in 2019 that are worth a look at besides the obvious with tevita pangai junior.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Esan Marsters is off contract as well.

Let, Rhino, Lillyman, Jamie B all walk after the season, Sign Pangai Jnr, Josh Pap, Marsters.

Papalli seems overweight and lazy these days to me, but then so do most of the Raiders players so his fitness/attitude might change away from Canberra.

 

[slotmachine]

He is only 110 kg

If pappali is 110kg I'm the Easter Bunny

Exactly.

Apparently Shannon Boyd is only just over 120 kg. Another set of scales that are broken there.

King won MoM or players award went well last week, Saulo is down to u/20 this week so might be a problem adjusting to game after full pre season training.

Roqica went well but might be his shock of hair that gets him noticed, looks strong, might be why Saulo dropped back to u/20 at this stage he is better playing and Saulo doesn't miss game time and he will develop into a v/good forward, given a year or so.

 

[Old dog]

Esan Marsters is off contract as well.

Let, Rhino, Lillyman, Jamie B all walk after the season, Sign Pangai Jnr, Josh Pap, Marsters.

Can see first two walking, age alone, but would like to keep Buhrer, think his 1st grade games will be very limited, need experienced forwards/mentors and he still has a couple of years left and is a handy backup if we get some injuries, which will happen but we could certainly do with some big boys in the team.

Yeah i thought he was more,but wikepedia says that but maybe needs a update.

 

[Joel-22]

Of the players who are off-contract i'd look at:

Tevita Pangai Junior
Shannon Boyd
Josh Papalli
Junior Paulo
Leeson Ah Mau
Blake Ferguson
Esan Marsters

And I'd re-sign Lamb, Sione, Sio, King and Meaney.

Ideally:

1.Kalyn Ponga
2.Nathan Ross
3.Sione Mata'utia
4.Tautau Moga
5.Shaun Kenny Dowell
6.Brock Lamb
7.Mitchell Pearce
8.Herman Ese'ese
9.Slade Griffin
10.Shannon Boyd
11.Lachlan Fitzgibbon
12.Aiden Guerra
13.Mitch Barnett

14.Connor Watson
15.Daniel Saifiti
16.Tevita Pangai Junior
17.Jacob Saifiti

That's a big, aggressive, skilful pack.

I like it, thats a side capable of challenging for the title

We signed that gun u20s centre, surely he gets a go.

 

[Burwood]

We signed that gun u20s centre, surely he gets a go.

We’ll get to watch him play tonight.

 

[Old dog]

I think that gun sharks centre needs to prove he is a gun,mill wait and see, hope he is as it will give us more choices in the back 5.
