Seriously, do we need to recruit yet another NSW Cup star?

Done deal according to the daily telegraph. Great guy to have around the club.

Is he any good?

He’s a fantastic guy to have on the bench as you can throw him in the forwards or the centres at a pinch. Previous coach Bellamy loved having him at the Storm and we beat the Panthers to the punch in getting his signature so you must be doing something right if you’re held in high regard by those two clubs.

Hope he does well but 2 things.

1. Is he better on the bench than Bird?
2. Bellamy might love him to death but just not at Melbourne.

As for Penrith, I guess he figured he had little chance of playing first grade. And maybe we offered him more money.

It depends how you view it. With Bird, you don’t know what you’re going to get, you’re either getting a standout game or you get a shocker. Whereas with Tommy you know you’re getting a battler that’s going to turn up each week. You probably won’t get a 10/10 game with him but you’ll get no less then a 7/10.

Either way it brings more competition into the squad which can’t hurt.

That sounds ok when you put it like that.

 

[RedVictory]

According to SEN radio our current top 3 targets for 2025 are Dearden, Connor Tracey and Heilum Luki.

Heilum Luki is a prop, isn't he?

I guess there is something to be said for having too many young, unproven players in the top 30.

Backrower, He was the Nanai before Nanai

Is he the one who did his knee against the Dragons at the end of 2022? Because I remember that game mainly because I was very impressed by him before he did his knee in that game. I thought he was better than Nanai.

Straight swap for Su'a?

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Agree. His stats dont exactly say sign me. Still he must have something if the Panthers wanted him.

Not AFB? Who is Heilum Luki when he's at home. Will look up his profile.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Luki is 22, a second rower with the Cowboys, at 103 kilos I suppose he could be a prop. Flanagan will want to get more than 78 RM out of him each game.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

I haven't seen any confirmation from the club. Only media speculation.

Mate we are only the fans, the last to know. Seriously, this prolonged rumor mill is doing in my head. FFS R&R pull out the finger before all the remaining good produce is gone.

The rumour Su'a wants out has been going around for a while. So will need two backrowers. Egan must be one from 2025 if not next year. So who is going to be the other?

Couchman brothers, so why do we wanna go and import a bloke that is not a regular first grader.

Egan must be one from 2025 if not next year.

Development contract I read. For '25, Latu and Halangahu who have been upgraded from DC to Top 30. They will be given some game time I expect, then ready to go full season in '26.
