2011 / 2012 Player Movements + Rumour Mill

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

Matt King > SouFFS

as usual they will have good players, just need a number 1 halve to lead them.

Should've tried to sign Maloney before he re-signed with the Warriors for 2012. He'd be a pretty good acquisition for Souths I reckon.

there was a rumour last week that they were looking at this half back from the newcastle u20s

Tim Moltzen might be heading to the Bunnies next season

 

[Shermy]

Souths just announced King has signed for 2 years. The Deal was sealed last week.
Moltzen's manager and Maguire had an interview via skype on Monday.
Souths did chase Maloney but the Warriors wouldnt release him on the compassionate grounds he was applying for. He wanted to come to Australia and Souths.

 

[Book]

I believe Maloney's contract ended in 2011 had an option for 2012, but I'm not sure who has the choice over that option. I take it it's the Warriors who did?

I reckon Souths should play:

1. Inglis
2. Merritt
3. Farrell
4. King
5. Whoever it is they play on the left wing.

 

[Shermy]

The plan is to move Inglis into the 6 and Sutton into the pack.
I'm personally not a fan of it but that is what Maguire will be running with it seems.
Option was in Warriors favour.

 

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

would be good if maguire was able to bring thomas leuluai back to the nrl

 

[TJW]

Esi Tonga to the Eels

David Williams to the Storm

wolfman to the storm? i haven't heard that anywhere!

Where would you have GI mate?

Sutton back to the pack is probably the only positive to that move imo.

 

[Shermy]

I really do have a great deal of confidence in Maguire getting the best out of Sutton. Sutton prefers to play on the right and was very dominant down the right edge under Taylor. Since then he has been moved to the left and struggled somewhat. I think Sutton can make it as a 5/8 but at the moment Lang's style doesn't suit Sutton but it suits Sandow, hence why Sandow is excelling and Sutton is plodding about. In regards to go GI, I think in the 6, we would suffer the same problems as we have with Sutton. I think GI in the 1 or in the centres is the best bet. Contrary to reports, GI is fit enough to play fullback this week if he had too. He is actually the lightest he has been since about 2008. He is playing at 106kgs.

Yeah GI looks just about ripe to erupt for a big game.

I've always thought Sutton to be a quality player and yeah maybe under a Maguire he'll get back on track. The worry I have with him is that he mentally seems to drift a bit and next year especially without a dominant half that could spell trouble if the team is relying even more on him for direction.

 

[Shermy]

I think Sandow is part of his problem. Sandow is quite erratic and doesn't provide much direction. Sandow himself doesn't know what he is doing next let alone the team. I think under Maguire you will see a really structured game one similar to Melbourne, in both attack and defence. We have a young kid Adam Reynolds who we are hoping will step up and he is your traditional half really, kicks well, tackles well and is a loud talker and his biggest asset is probably control of play and pinpoint kicking game. They are banking on him to 'free up' Sutton. Sutton's main strengths are when he takes it to the line and looks for the offload. He doesn't have that opportunity now because if he does that, people howl him down for not giving it to Taylor and Inglis, then if he gives it to them 2 people say he isnt doing enough.

Titans continuing stacking up for next year signing Beau Falloon for 2 years
