RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

I'm getting confused. With the canberra young gun and these Newcastle signings and Roy a is the sky falling in next year or not? I don't know if I can support the tahs for a whole season.

Has any of these actually signed or just still rumoured?

Chee kee from Canberra has signed, the others are maybes, but it seems players want to come over to Brookvale.

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

Never heard of him,but going of last few pages in this thread he is highly rated.
Perry seems to be going ok for a p-plater hey Rothscum!

Kyle O'Donnell was touted as another gun player at the beginning of the year along with Totau Moga and Konrad Hurrel. Might be worth offering O'Donnell minimum rugby league wage.

Oldfield to the Roosters, most likely in the next few days

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

Great replacement for Lussick (massive upgrade in fact imo), and not TOO old at 28.

I'd actually be pumped at this signing. I'd have him starting in the 2nd row in T-Rex spot next year.

08. Jason King
09. Matt Ballin
10. Roy Asotasi
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Richard Fa'aoso
13. Glenn Stewart

14. Jamie Buhrer
15. George Rose
16. Brent Kite
17. Daniel Harrison

with Galuvao, Cunningham & Mauro in the event of injury.
Lots of attitude and mongrel in that pack.

Agree with your opinion re Fa'oso mate, but Galuvao gets picked in the top 17 IMO.

If true that means we only got 3 wingers and the most experienced of the lot is STILL injured.Hope Snake,Jorge and Whare stay fit

"Oldfield to the Roosters, most likely in the next few days"...but definitely within three-and-a-half months.

Yes that would appear to be an odd gamble for a club with serious aspirations of another title this year. An inexperienced winger in a big game could be a terminal liability. Which means either a) it won't happen or b) there must be some very good reason the club would do that...

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

Has anybody else heard that we are going for Dene Halatau - why

I thought he had recently re-signed with the Dogs.

 

[SeaEagle007]

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

Id welcome Dene Halatau, He has been playing like a machine this year under Des. So he has a good insight of how he trained the boys here, Im sure Tooves would keep that aggression going. If he comes at the right price then why not.

BTW the dogs have got to be over the cap by now.. seriously even if they are releasing players next year, they must be over by alot this year

 

[Rambo1987]

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

We have plenty of backrowers

 

[bennyeagle]

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

We need a prop ! Or 2

Agreed, at the right price he'd provide good cover over a few positions.

I doubt we'd release him but if the talk on Guthgerson ( ?? ) is on the money there may be a fast track thought there - and hey, wasn't T-REX a winger?

RE: Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

Gutherosn is good, but even as a winger he isn't readyh for the NRL it's a huge ask and i doubt Toovey is even contemplating it this year.

Why would they do that? Releasing a winger when others are injured or inexperienced to help out the poor old Roosters. What's in it for Manly?
