Sam Kasiano

[Cult]

He has declared his allegiance to the Kiwis and has played 6 tests for them, sorry but you've missed out on him.

He was born in Auckland but moved to Brisbane as a teenager. That's what Fourex meant.

They're talking about returning here (SEQ) where he grew up to play for the Broncos, not Qld...

Lol all roosterman thinks about is origin... Move on

So apparently Merge are chasing Kasianos signature.

This guy is on the market and we aren't throwing 500k his way?

 

[Kimlo]

Well there's only so many front rowers you can fit in a team. Hala, Kennedy, McGuire, Garbutt, Hannant, Wallace. Between them we have 4 quality front rowers. I actually think we don't really need to recruit anyone.

$500K for Kasiano?? Are you mad? He is an overweight prop who will succumb to injuries sooner rather than later.

You really think Kasiano is going to join a club that has Ben Barba in it?

 

[Mitch06]

I would sign him, his ball skills and offloads had a fair bit to do with ben barba's breakout year, he would go great guns with us and would be amazing off the bench - just make him lose some kilos in the pre-season!

8. Josh Mcguire
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Ben Hannant
11. Matt Gillett
12. Sam Thaiday
13. Corey Parker
14. Alex Glenn/Garbutt
15. Martin Kennedy

17. Oates

If we sign another prop we have to lose Hannant. He doesn't make the metres he once did and makes too many errors.

And I left out Oates. This is impossible!!

 

[Unbreakable]

The only situation in which we'd consider signing Kasiano is if Hannant leaves in the off-season. It's a reasonable trade for us, considering they'd be on similar coin and Sam is much younger.

Sah gooooodddd

 

[noisetheory]

kasiano aint comin to a club with barba in it.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We don't need the fat turd.

 

[Ari Gold]

Yep. Can't believe how many people think that this might even be a remote possibility.

Well, I spose WB might flick Barba, but other than that, it's a no go.

 

[broncos4life]

**** no!

 

[gordjw]

No thanks.

My in-laws are massive dogs supporters, and I can tell you that none of them rate Kasiano. They all think he's lazy and overweight.

I have to agree with them.

 

[Rally Towel]

Think this has been overplayed? It's been talked up but they've seemed pretty affable on the field.

Assuming the above isn't a factor, I don't see why we shouldn't at least sit down with him. He's big and has skills. I'd rather the club at least look at every genuine option that comes onto the market. If there's any one Dog I'd like it's Eastwood though.

 

[jarro65]

He'd be a great pickup for us ..... huge man that always bends the line and almost always manages to pop an offload as well.

We'd never be able to afford him though with the side we already have, unless, as stated, we lose an already signed prop.
