Ramien to sharks and api to bulldogs

[Dogna88]

From what I understand he is a family man and did not agree with Newcastle drinking culture, refused to party with them.but rather spend time with his daughter.
Why is he a ticking time bomb? As he had any priors? Off the field? A bad reputation?.

I call bullshit

 

[Rockford]

Wasn't Nathan Brown bragging about that exactly, that he got rid of the drinking culture at the club over the years?

He's father was negotiating with the sharks and bulldogs for more money,while he was still contracted,to the knights,he must been aware of that or is he totally stupid,by the way that was news before he was dismissed,and also missed training,and late to training,that was news,not something I'm making up

 

[Cosmo24]

Moses Suli missed plenty of training sessions and got the punt from two clubs. Now he’s going pretty well in a top 4 team. Wouldn’t call it a deal breaker when it comes to signing a player. Just need to get them in the right environment with the right people supporting them

 

[dogsdogs]

ramien has his ambitions and capabilities mixed up with his worth, hes not good enough to be demanding any deal, especially when hes without a club, good luck sharkies i think you may have taken a bullet for us

Is Api really an upgrade on JMK? We might be better to stick with what we have.

Fair point about where JMK's at but we need 2 decent hookers in the squad (till we can get an elite one for 2020) so I'd go for Api - but prefer a 2 year deal on $450, maybe $500g, at most. JMK has improved and it's very impressive for him to play 80 for weeks on a row and tackle strong throughout. But I reckon his service (his whole attacking game really) is still a second off the pace and Api would help with that, plus Api would bring some talk and leadership.

If we sign Api, either him or JMK would be the best options at the club for bench utility IMO - maybe play JMK for the first 25-30 like Lichaa was playing, then get the quicker bloke on. We need something(s) to help us score points and unfortunately can't rely on Foran being fit.

We might get Duges instead if Sharks are freeing up cap space?

Just jokes...

No joke
Dugan or josh Morris will have to leave

Api was done deal ages ago
Unless warriors double or triple there offer
That’s the only way he isn’t coming to the dogs

 

[finchie]

My mates dad works on the board, they gave ramien a deadline by Friday, he rejected the three year deal. They can only sign 2 out of the three so now Herman ease and api Koroisau are now on track

They were signed weeks ago
Both completed Medicals at belmore with tony Ayoub and co

Fark Herman ain't an upgrade on what we currently have. Better off sitting tight and using the cash for 2021

So how is it a done deal if you’re concerned the warriors may increase their offer?

Totally agree even ogden was awesome until pay started fucking him around

We had discussions with Lomax management earlier in the year that’s why he was dropped round 1... and now aitken has been told to leave Mary still playing Lomax on wing... lol, wouldn’t surprise me if we revisit... I heard Curtis Scott name being thrown around too..

Agreeing verbally these days and signing on the dotted line are 2 diff things

Player managers these days aren’t what they used to

Sorry for the confusion

I wouldn’t take Dugan even if he played for us for free. That signing would undo so much good work from the past 6 weeks. Not sure how useful Herman will be if Renouf and RFM continue to fire in the middle. Plus Ogden waiting in the wings. Happy with Api. All we need now is a marquee centre

Lomax would make a gun centre
Horrible winger
My opinion only
Aitken can’t pass for shit and major hog

I like Herman but not on overs
I’d love to save up one more year to have a massive crack at Dave Fifita and Jai arrow

Imo Jai arrow and a half are priorities

I think xerri has outshone him this year, but I guess it comes down to the coach playing him in his preferred position...

Fifita would be priority 1 for me, that bloke is 3 levels above anything we have and the footy show tonight said the Bronc's have done all of their cash. Can't afford him so will be available.

I think Herman will be starting to reach his peak. Left the big smoke , played under Bennett. Played for his country. Went to newy and learned what it means to languish in Reggie’s. Returning home now. He has size, aggression, and a good work rate. An upgrade on Sue and Danny F, maybe Ogden as well. On par with Napa.
