Gus on 7 News - 8-9 signings in coming weeks

[diddly]

I hope one is Stefano Utoikamanu I heard he wants out of the Tigers and could be at Belmore looking at out facilitates in the coming days he has a get out clause there and wanting out

I read that the get out clause depends on what happens next year - was media so could be made up

The sad part is how the tigers have a kick ass fullback and a awesome young prop. They also have a couple backrowers coming through and we have no one.

Stop treating supporters as fools would be a good start. Can convey a positive outlook without the shitetalk no one believes this rubbish and any GM in their right mind would not be happy where we currently are.

It’s better than airing our dirty laundry publically. I don’t need Gus publically telling everyone we’re in a shit spot, and giving News Ltd more ammunition, cause I can work that out for myself.

Kurt Mann (Knights - likely)
Poasa Faamausili (Dolphins)

At least Faamausili is a middle, another utility or a centre would do my head in. Here’s hoping Jordan Maclean agreed to terms and maybe someone like Eddie Blacker…. The biggest signings will come in 2025

Not exactly a signing to pop the champagne for haha.

that’s very young. props don’t retire till they are 34 or 35 mate.

Some - he is probably at the age where he should be at his best

Looked him up has had big wraps on him in the past but seems to struggle to play consistently in the NRL, maybe had a few injuries in a few vids has heavy strapping on his knees. Could be a Max king type signing and we get him as he comes good over his injuries. Bennet had big wraps on him.

i asked couple people they reckon he is decent depth forward, why not he probably isn't gonna be on more then 200/250k tbh

 

[OldDogFan]

Unless I start faboiing about Burton

Nope.. your real objective should be Mahoney. Dissolve the negatives and embrace Reed.

I have no control over all the negative stuff Reed does, lafam.

Why should i get behind him when he was so terrible this year?

Look at his qcup stats as that's where he has spent most of this year. They are solid numbers but nothing crazy. Surprisingly made alot of regular kick return metres which is strange for a prop.. maybe he's our rockstar fullback.. or another utility

And going by stats alone, I'd much rather we sign JJ Colins..off contract 27 year old prop (dolphins) whose qcup stats are far more impressive.

 

[D.O.W.]

One thing about Gus is he plays his cards close to his chest…. He has gone public. I think he will surprise us. But expect a couple to be re-signings. Obviously SST and Mann as they haven’t been announced yet

We know the identity of at least 3 out of the 8-9, bear in mind these are new signings apparently not re-signings.

Mann
SST
Faamausili

5-6 more….

Peak age for a prop

Kick returns from the kick off

I recall him playing very well during Covid on loan to the Warriors. Scored a contract with the Dragons shortly after and struggled to get game time there.

Yeah of course.. didn't even realise they separated them but makes sense
