Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Nutz]

I think guidance doesn't have to be position specific. That said I wasn't a huge fan of signing bird.

He's got more chance of guiding a young fella in KOE Cup than in NRL. I just find it a perplexing statement.
Looking at Galvin this year, he did play too laterally and having Bird outside him getting into his ear may make him run more direct if it's required.
I wonder where To'a fits in all this?

If it happens, I wonder where he will end up, not here I hope.

Before we signed Skelton we would have been a big chance. With our lack of top 30 spots you would think we wouldn’t use another one on a winger

Did you see him play against Manly yesterday? I'm rapt we signed him.

He was great wasn't he. He was a threat.

Oh yeah. Getting a beast on his way up is awesome. Would much rather Skelton over fox for probably half the salary

Have you seen his huge brother play, he was massive.
There is a trend to have solid quick wingers these days to bring the ball out from our red zone. Look at Penrith's To'o and Taruva, they do it so well.
Next year we'll have Taruva and Skelton. I like it. Throw in Hunt and Pole too. We won't have too much trouble getting down the other end.

 

[Tiger05]

Next year we'll have Taruva and Skelton.

I wonder where they play Turuva though. There were rumours he was signed to play in the centres. I don't know if that is true.

We need outside backs that can have an impact. I like the way our team is looking for next season but I'm worried we need to get rid of a couple of players and hopefully get another signing or two.

More than anything we need tough tackling brutal middle forwards who constantly bend the line & a nasty defensive coach.Without rapid improvement in these 2 specific areas nothing will change

Just chill mate. It happens every year, this period of uncertainty. The upside is Luai, anything on top of that is a bonus.
Even the Bateman thing can be seen as a positive, like Ned said, it's a new signing He may just come back with renewed vigor, and having a better team around him and a full off season it may be enough to get him going. If he can reproduce his world cup form then he will be an asset. He could really work with Luai too.
Have faith in Richo.

Turuva is a good signing because apparently he's a good fullback and can play centre as well. Great utility.

Second row would be nice lol.

Arghhh, Na

So Bateman has told the club he is staying for the next 2 years. I'm going to pretend it is a new signing and my memory has been erased.
He was sensational playing for Great Britain. Having a stint back on England after leaving the NRL could really freshen up his resolve.
Great signing.

I guess, we can only hope that with our new squad, it will change his attitude and play like we know he can.

He certainly has talent, just not showing much of it for us.

Exactly. Baby steps start with things that one can control. In his case it's discipline.

Whispers of Lodge.

I think he’s exactly what we need.

He couldn’t have done more to make good and these days, his character is better than excellent.

 

[Tiger05]

I wonder where To'a fits in all this?

I think To'a could be the right centre. I think it's out of him and Bird but Bird might be better as an edge backrower.

It will all be revealed grasshopper.

We just have to wait until next season but there are a lot of changes in the team. It'll be an interesting off-season.
