New Winger - Christian Tuipulotu

[Brisbane Tragic]

Funny buying young players when our young juniors struggle to get selected

Need to blend them slowly but yes Schu and Gaucomle certainly should have more game time last year

 

[Supreme Leader]

Roosters now free up salary cap space to buy 5 internationals and the young souffs gun....all fair 🙂 🙂 🙂

After should have around $750K left to get players for next year or prepay some of the end of contract payouts.

 

[Ryan]

Brendan Elliott replacement, at best surely.

NRL Roosters and Auckland Super rugby teams chase schoolboy star Christian Tuipulotu

Not 100%, but think he was the NZ juniors Captain....probably 2 - 3 years ago

He has plenty of promise and is pretty highly thought of, it’s a good signing. I’d still be surprised not to see Saab here.

 

[Jigzkiller]

Great signing if true.

Wow love to see your reaction when we sign a first grader. Not knocking the kid he has potential but a little over the top to class it as a "great" signing.

Hey at least he’s under 30 y.o.and no problems with his shoulder, pec or big toe ...sounds great to me.
just sayin’

I think you may find that the Saab is being reconditioned!

 

[The better Robbo]

Hoppa for Tuipulotu
Metcalfe for Foz
AFB for Aloiai
Thommo for Davey
Elliott for Saab
T rex for Garner
Levi for .......
Waddell for Burbo

If we do get the signings we are after or at least "like for like" then our squad is looking miles better than last year. Other than AFB they are all upgrades. A Levi replacement is still a must, surely! Add to this guys like Keppie, Paseka, Gosiewski, Funa, Cust now ready to step up. Schuster and Olokauatu look stars in the making, you'd have to think its pretty exciting times ahead especially if we can stay relatively injury free.

 

[Eagle thru 'n' thru]

Never heard of him ?

What are you on about?? Everyone knows Taufua.

 

[winnyason]

Highly touted junior and dual rugby rep, started out as backrower and played centre. Debut on the flank for roosters he aleast keep a few of them honest.

Debut game

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Jorge was a wonderful winger and I will always remember his great try’s and great hits but all careers come to an end as has his.

Don’t bet on it

Those are some of the sweetest words you've uttered wheel.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm still a bit floored by the news of young Keith Titmuss.

I really don't think now is the time for Manly to be announcing any new signings. Not for some time. We all need some time to mourn.

I'm sure work never stops and things happen back stage. But there is a time and place for them to hit the media.

RIP#.

Saab
Surely we can't have 9 players in our squad to fill 4 positions. Yet still no sign of a 9.
My bet is we either missed Saab or another outside back will be released to accommodate Saab.
My wish is that Jorge is moving on!!!!

Maybe they are going to out a 4 in the 9?

 

[40 years an eagle]

Looks like a very good signing for mine.

 

[double hoops]

Walkz Talkz Feitz at 9.

 

[double hoops]

How quick is he?

Saab Funa Tuipolotu ... good to see some strike power on the rise!
