The Rumours Thread

I saw him in the club video, nothing is a lock, but he is the starting winger if he stays..

Ahh ok nice , I would hope that he will stay , but it seems Flanno has got a few targets but not enough spots

Surely no longer necessary?

Unless we are moving on another winger but I’m interested to let Flanno inact his plans for the squad

Sure but after signing Lawson and the number of spots available, another winger has to be way down the pecking order now.

Half or two, prop or two are surely the priority moving forward.

Plus I also think JAC is a massive gamble on a guy on a downhill slide we just don't need to take...

Interesting that so far I haven’t seen any pics or vids of Sione Finau training with the rest of the young crop

There's plenty on Instagram

Sorry to disagree, but Lawrie has Never been our best forward. He can't tie Debellin's or Sua's boot laces. I am still in shock how he was awarded player of the year in 2023.

Well, he was. It may not necessarily be a reflection of him, but rather the squad at the time.

Su’a was ordinary in his first year and wanted to leave, De Belin wasn’t fantastic (not a dig at him) in his first 18 months & Molo produced zilch in his first year. Lawrie was our most consistent forward at the time & we could not afford to lose him.

The desperation then has obviously cost us now, but again, I don’t blame the saints for resigning a local junior, who at the time was our most consistent forward and rumoured to he wanted by Wayne Bennett at the Phins.

Regardless of it all, if we go into the season with De Belin, Molo & Sele as our front rowers and T Couchman and Cook (when Liddle is on) as our locks then Lawrie will be playing a lot of first grade in 25. We have no depth in the front row.

Lawrie has to be moved on just the same way Roosters did with May . Other nrl clubs are good on moving players on to superleague
