Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[guywolf]

You could use that comment to EVERT PLAYER at EVERY CLUB not in the NRL side.
Negative in every comment, can't help yourself.

I don't think he's being negative here, it's a very real possibility if he reaches his potential. We won't be able to keep all of our talent.

Sport Confidential: Zac Lomax push to exit the Dragons intensifies​

St George Illawarra have drawn up their wishlist of Zac Lomax replacement targets and top of the list are a Parramatta excitement machine and a Melbourne man mountain

The Dragons could be enticed to let Lomax go immediately should a rival club propose a player swap. They wouldn’t hesitate if the Eels would be prepared to part with emerging young gun Blaize Talagi but that would be at long odds from occurring.

St George Illawarra are also aware of growing unrest regarding Nelson Asofa-Solomona at the Storm.

Hmmmm

I can pretty much guarantee we'll be in the mix.... time will tell.

I agree. It's the $$$ that Lomax will want that concerns me especially with decent $$$ tied up with another centre in Olam. And we need to be mindful that a Makasini & Onitoni Large could be pushing for a centre spot within 2 years.

Options?

Simpkin, Sullivan??? Add the both up = Lomax's salary

Olam will be 31 this year - doubt he'll be getting in the way of Maksini & Large as they're still a couple years away.

Lomax will be signing of the year if he somehow came to us this year.... that's my prediction if it was to be pulled off. People also turn a blind eye to him as an aerial threat, him and Seizer could do some special things as a combination. Along with his goal kicking abilities which is always a benefit.

so who would you suggest the Tigers are trading ?

The Dragons collecting Tigers reserve grade hookers ?

Simpkin but I think Flannagan will want TDS..... the club will laugh it off however don't get it twisted.

If it was me I'd offer them Junior Tupou on a season loan as they'll need some depth in the backline. Flannagan doesn't want the spoon, he wants success THIS season.

Because if Lomax gets this release....... what do you think Ben Hunt will do end of the year if they finish last.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Dude he played super rugby for the chiefs and got player of the year.

Brother be for real, he got rookie of the year not player the year and hasn't played for the chiefs in 5 years.

I would have agreed Topou… but I’m inclined to keep him now after last week for the rest of the season ,,,

it really depends on how much Lomax is screaming to get out ( seems a lot) and what other clubs are offerin…. Maybe they take Simpkin .. would be convenient for us wouldnt it…

It's a little out there because we just brought him in, but what about trading them bud? You think they'd have any interest in that?

 

[Tom Shines]

Has anyone got access to the Tele article and can tell us who the trade “ targets“ are for Lomax from Storm and Parra?

Im going to go out on a limb and predict they would be a bigger name than Simpkin

I think I read somewhere Lomax supported the Tigers growing up or favourite player was Benji, one or the other too.

Tupou for rest of season would be good for them or potentially Lomax is just released to free up more cap space & they secure a player from another club (Corey Oates, Bailey Simonsen, Nick Cotric, Nelson Asofa Solomona etc).

 

[jrtiger]

even if we don’t end up with Lomax, I’m happy our name has been kept out of the press throughout this whole saga. I’m hoping for a Cronulla / AFB type situation, but I do think Parramatta would be the frontrunner for his services.

as for who we offer up, I think @teddy23 is right with Simpkin, but they may ask for more. I reckon Flanno would back himself to get the best out of Matamua. those two for Lomax is what I’d be looking at.

They want NAS from Storm or Tulagi from eels.

 

[The Chad]

When you take into account the players coming through that are expected to step into the squad, available positions start to quickly dry up.

For example- losing Tupou we all assume we need a winger. But everything you read about Makasini- the Tigers expect him to be playing 1st grade with 18 months. So there's the Tupou replacement, in house.

Someone talked about Staines & his 'classy speed' or something.

Question- who is the lightning fast winger that got Penrith the last 3 GF wins? Yes, there is 'fast'. And there is also 'fast enough'. Staines is the upgradable spot.

Big Nelson ..😂

Good luck with that Dragons …

 

[Kaito]

A friend of a friend told me Caleb Clarke is talking
to Benji, what about I haven't the foggiest. Like all
things - take this with a grain of salt. Anyone that
knows me I'm not the one to gossip. Probably won't
happen but I'm putting it out there in the universe

 

[Kaito]

Don't get on my neck, I think benji is just mates.
