Which forwards do we sign?

[TrottingToBelmore]

I'm excited about our outside backs.. but it means nothing if we have no go forward. Realistically, who should we sign to give us abit of grunt.

Here's the off-contract forwards, I bolded who I think we could utilise quite well, who would you pick? :

PROP
Bunty Afoa,
Leeson Ah Mau
Tom Ale,
Tom Amone,
Morgan Boyle,
Jackson Frei,
Wiremu Greig,
Samuel Hughes,
Josh King,
Isaac Liu,
Dunamis Lui,
Patrick Mago,
Thomas Mikaele,
Dylan Napa,
Ofahiki Ogden,
Russell Packer,
Aaron Pene,
Darryn Schonig,
Ava Seumanufagai, (Has been in great form for us and should sign at around 250-300k).
Aiden Tolman,
Jai Whitbread,
Aaron Woods a.ka flop

SECOND-ROW
John Asiata,
Fletcher Baker,
Dean Britt,
Egan Butcher,
Kurt Capewell, (QLD rep, has relationship with Barrett, Naden and Burton).
Bryce Cartwright,
Michael Chee-Kam,
Angus Crichton, ( former NSW rep but wouldn't pay overs)
Josh Curran,
Darius Farmer
, Lachlan Fitzgibbon,
Brock Gardner,
Alex Glenn
, Jack Gosiewski,
Brodie Jones
, Billy Magoulias,
Sam McIntyre,
Mark Nicholls,
Keenan Palasia,
Tyrone Peachey, (Would be great No.14).
Alex Seyfarth,
Iosia Soliola
Scott Sorensen,
Jaydn Su'a,
Ben Te'o,
Shane Wright

LOCK
Kaide Ellis,
Dale Finucane, (No-brainer at the right price, Bulldogs at heart and would be great leader for young fellas).
Corey Jensen,
Max King,
James Roumanos, (Re-sign him)
Chris Smith,
Ray Stone,
Sam Stone

 

[bradyk]

Finucane and Capewell. There isn't a lot. I think we're relying on contracted players to pop up. I'd take Tapine in the second row if he's "available".

 

[capt obvious]

Capewell
Asiata
Dunamis lui
Hodgson- no chance of cheese

 

[KLil]

Dangle Papali, Tapine and Hodgson a carrot..

Offload RFM, Elliot and Flanno.

 

[D.O.W.]

1 gun + any 2 or more of the below would be good for our rebuild:
Bunty Afoa
Isaac Liu
Thomas Mikaele
Aaron Pene
Kurt Capewell (Gun)
Scott Sorenson
Keenan Palasia
Jayden Su’a (Gun)
Ray Stone

Nasheed here,
i say we sniff out contracted players.

In recruitment, you want the wanted.

Finucane and Capewell are salary cap victims tho. Both of their respective clubs want to re-sign them.

good point.

 

[Nasheed]

If it were me,
Id get the muslim crew onto Haas.
Psyche him out.
'Why arent you here with your muslim brothers? why are you only ok with 500 a year when you can be 800 here? man youre a weird dude. Dont you want to look after your mum? Hoe serious are you about Islam?' etc.

That kind of mental peeling, layer by layer will start to wear, then break him down over the next few months and will be ours by November.

 

[Rassayri]

Dangle Papali, Tapine and Hodgson a carrot..

Offload RFM, Elliot and Flanno.

You got to be crazy to offload RFM he is by far our best forward

Thompson's our best forward. After that you could make a case for RFM (going off last years form) but he would need to work his way back to that level due to his injury (which is a common occurrence - being injured). I'd be using RFM as a trade for Brandon Smith myself.

I wouldn’t be offering out one of our best forwards to be honest but if it comes down to it you could be right

Prop is one of our toughest gets from what’s on offer.

 

[Rockdog]

Need TPJ to get home sick and come back to NSW. And to the New Dogs of War.

 

[cookieman909]

RFM is overhyped. He’s been here 5 years and I still get nervous every time he hits it up waiting for a stupid offload or dropped ball.

 

[Rassayri]

I would rather Hass over TPJ but that would also be an ultimate signing also

 

[fooch]

James Segeyaro should be looked at if we cant land a decent dh

 

[Spoonman84]

RFM is overhyped. He’s been here 5 years and I still get nervous every time he hits it up waiting for a stupid offload or dropped ball.

Plus has legs made of glass. He’s been a potential player since he arrived and isn’t any closer to achieving it.
