Player Re-signings

Posted by Glenn Lifetime Eel on October 28, 2015 at 11:08am

I found this article in DT

New deal: John Folau (2 years), Brad Takairangi (2 years), Bureta Faraimo (1 year), Danny Wicks (1 year), Pauli Pauli (2 years), Peni Terepo (2 years), David Gower (2 years), Kaysa Pritchard (1 year), Vai Toutai (1 year), Joseph Ualesi (1 year), Luke Kelly (1 year), Daniel Alvaro (1 year), Ryan Morgan (2 years), Brad Arthur (end of 2017)

Surely Falou and Terepo weren't signed for 2 years and Toutai signed for another year? The first two should have been signed on 1 year only and Toutai, why!!!

What is wrong with this club, oh that's right they signed Kelly for 1 year WTF!!! Sorry retention is all ballsed up.

Mate all this stuff happened like a good 3 months plus ago have you been living under a rock? Or did you just want to add a bit of negativity back to the site after all the positive blogs lately.

Out of the three players you highlighted not one will be in first grade unless of big injuries or amazing form in wenty.

  Yes but why sign them, Toutai has never performed in fg, Falou has a lot to prove and surely doesn't need 2 years to prove that and Terepo has poor hands and frankly makes little impact when on the field and for 2 more years of this!
  
  Sorry 93 I must live under a rock and not in the know like yourself.

I'm happy with the Falou and Terepo signings, strong depth for two years at a cheap price. As for Kelly and Toutai, a one year deal makes sense considering our lack of depth in those positions and the juniors coming through who can hopefully fill those roles in 2017. The signings that confuses me are Ryan Morgan and Kaysa Pritchard. One weighs less than a wet mop and offers just about as much on the field, the other reminds me of a mannequin at the pharmacy covered in compression garments from head to toe.

All said and done...................................

I'M VERY HAPPY NOT TO SEE JOSEPH PAULO ON THAT LIST!!!

How dare the club sign depth players, what an absolute farce.

Why to the following:

Bureta
Vai
Luke
Morgan

Would be more than happy to see them leave and free up some cap space
