Rumoured Targets 3

[Old dog]

He’s already better than every other player in the club at that position and is keeping out a test player from the position at his current club. After only a few games in firsts too.

If that player is Dugan then he is out injured, agree he is a better prospect than Sione and maybe Moga but I will wait to see how he fits in, nice to have him signed up

What I mean is they’re looking at bringing Dugan back at FB because Ramien is playing so well.

 

[Spot On]

Ramien looks the goods at the moment and shits on what we have. He brings that form and he'll be a fantastic get.

92kg Victor Radley has continued to make our pack look soft. The bloke just smashes opposition ball carriers week after week after week.

We just don't have any players like that.

Yates?

 

[Spot On]

We don't pick him Fred.

We don't pick him Fred.

Well yeah, that's a sticking point.

 

[Old dog]

We need aggressive forwards, not going to get until next season so for this season bring in some young aggressive types like Yates and King, might mean leaving out say Lillyman and Heighinton but at least try something. Lillyman and Heighinton have been good/ok but not great, done the job, helped to develop etc won't be here next season so let's bite the bullet, they can come back in if changes fail or injuries occur.

Lilly man hasn't set the world alight, but Heighington has been great. Plenty of purpose in his runs and reliable in defense. Honestly I'd drop Jaifiti and Buhrer before him

Only picked them as they are unlikely to be with us next season and looking to the future, agreed, Heighinton better than Lillyman but thinking Yates deserves a spot and more likely to replace Heighinton so it's King for Lillyman. Would add aggression IMO.

 

[Haffa]

Can’t leave Heigno out of the team if you want aggression. He’s providing more impact than either of the brothers.

Manly need to drop salary... worth having a flyer at Tapau, exactly what we are missing...

 

[Spot On]

Agreed.

 

[PhilGould]

Taupau would be perfect. No chance Manly let him go though.

If they need to get cap compliant might not be left with many options. Who else of theirs would someone take off their hands? Easier to move him than DCE, Walker or a Trebojevic and no one else would be on big coin?

 

[Frank Facer]

Nope. Do you wish he never played for Saints.

And btw picking the egg off my face after Kennys 5 minutes of horror last night!

No I don't wish that Nightingale never played for Saints, I just wish that Mary tapped him on the shoulder last year and told him that he wouldn't be picked this year.

 

[Frank Facer]

Taupau would be perfect. No chance Manly let him go though.

James Hooper said on Foxsports that there are rumours of Taupau going to Easts this year, to help Manly manage their salary cap. I would like Saints to buy him. He would be a great pick up for you guys too.

There are rumours of Walker going back to Souths this season.

Someone said on our forum that he heard on Sunday that Newcastle have signed Ah Mau for 1.9 mil over 3 years.
