If ever a club needed some mid year signings it's us

Posted by Bup on May 11, 2015 at 5:41pm
Time to move the furniture. Without knowing the ins and outs of our cap surely we could move on a player or two midseason .we desperately need some outside backs with speed. Glen Fisiiahi is a must buy. Had some nerve damage in his shoulder but is back firing in reserve grade for the Warriors. He's quick and elusive. Solid under the high ball and would fix our problems at fullback. Unsigned for next year and I'm sure with the Warriors signings lately would be welcome cap relief.

    I'd have a crack at Kirisome Auva'a. Not sure about his suspension with the NRL .hed come cheap has pace and very handy.Mahe Fonua would be brilliant on the other wing.Is anyone out there in the know to at least who we're targeting. AJ's not coming. So who else you got.

    Bup have a look at story I just posted about Michael Gordon

  • Bup May 11, 2015 at 5:50pm
    I spoke about him early this year but that's stop gap. He hasn't got long left in the game. I'd rather us be a younger energised team with a quality couple of hard heads than a dead set retirement home.

      Yes but it says in the story they see Bevan French from the 20's as eventual fullback

    What we need to do is stop picking players who are injured in first grade. While it was great to see Semi back it was a 3 try turn around due to injury. Kick by Sandow should have been taken by Semi on the full, ankle tap by Slater would not have happened if he had been able to accelerate. Also simultaneous try would not have happened if he was able to bend with his knee. Same with Brad Taka coming back a few weeks too early. We should be bringing the players back first through the reserve grade. First Grade should be the best 17 fit available players.

      An injured Semi and Taka were way better than what else we have.

    Both good players and Taka is ready now but he was poor a couple of games back and this cost us the match. Semi needed a 40 min reserve grade run building up over a few weeks. Medial tear normally needs 8 weeks. Brave playing but would hate to see him out for the year

    Yes, the worst team could always do with some new players ;)
