Sironen a done deal...Matagi gone?

[bringbackbeaver]

We could be a huge chance for two or so of those names, personally I reckon we should get either Whare, DWZ or bird then go for a forward with a similar physique to hargreaves, perhaps try get paasi. It'll be a very good off season, much better then the one anyone's got this year

We also don't know how Hoppa and Meehan are going to go in first grade next year. If they go good, we may not need to go to market for another forward. If AFB/Lussick continue to go good.... there seems to be a lot of forwards out there who can get the job done for not much cash. I would say save on forwards (a classy lock we already have) and spend on young backs. Especially if we could get a Jack Bird type player.

We're told Curtis Sironen move from @WestsTigers to @SeaEagles is a done deal. Two years. Also interest from @storm. #NRL @7NewsSydney

Yep I'm excited about those two, they have huge potential. They will be getting more game time i believe so more reason to look forward to next season.

Jack Bird is the best talent in the NRL...my opinion only

Totally Agree. It's his mental toughness as well. His arm looked cactus in the gf. You could see by his face how determined he was just to not leave the field, no matter how injured he was. I wish we got Tom cheaper, may be then we could throw Turbo type money at the bird.

Bird is class, has arthritis as well I believe.

That's my 2018 side so far. Bird is a must IMO. He can play 2018 in the centres than in 2019 move to 5/8. Or we drop Green for Bird which I'm fine with but we have to get Bird. Next up we should throw some cash at Taumalolo, I don't think he will leave but we can try. But more realistically we should target some of these blokes so they can play in 2018 for us.

CENTRE/WING
- J Bird (6 in 2018)
- D Watene-Zelezniak
- D Whare
- J Roberts
- J Kahu
- C Gutherson
PROP/SECOND-ROW
- J Waerea-Hargreaves
- A Woods
- B Matulino
- A Glenn
- A Paasi

What about 2019 Turbo? Can you give us a FART so we can get an idea of how that's shaping up?

I think we are short a running, ball playing second rower.....Sirronen.

And a front line prop ( assuming Lawrence might take some time to get back to strength again)......Matagi.

Also pending the retirement of Skivvy we are short a quality centre.......Whare.

I'd suggest all 3 might come , especially if the Skivvy / Snake retirements happen.

But like everyone the ****ing suspense is killing me!!

So if we get those three or similar (eg DWZ) Mark, what's your prediction for where we finish?

Subject to injury top 8 for sure

Sironen is a smoke screen for a play at Woods. Remember where you heard it first. And how do I know? Coz I just made it up.

I heard we were getting coach Taylor.
I read it inmy post just now.

 

[Jethro]

I read that somewhere too. Must be something in it then.

Yeah, I think that you are right. I'm sure I read that somewhere too. 🙂
