Badel reckons we need to sign Smith, Tamou and Welch to lead our revival

Swap Papalii for Tamou and Smith for Hunt and we have a more realistic goal

Hasn’t both Welch and Tamou been all but confirmed to have signed new deals already.

Maybe we could try Papalii, Proctor, and Hunt.

probably ... it is Badel

FYI, he reported this 20 mins ago (according to the cm time stamp)

 

[Painin the Haas]

Welch said he isnt going to Dragons And had the intention to re-sign. I’m sure Kevie would have called and said wait and see what happens first

If he was interested and fit would Kieran Foran be a potential 1/2 's pairing for Tom Dearden , for the short term ?

he hasn't been fit in 5 years ... i don't see that changing any time soon

Hell no, Would rather Benji, atleast he will be there to play games.

On the forwards I really like the idea of Papalii imagine him and haas on the front row, I don't think we would need more forward signings then and can focus on Hooker and Fullback.

Well we do have plenty of sticky tape for Kahu so maybe we could squeeze out 5 games of the season from him?

Doubt Benji has any interest returning to the Broncos with Milford around.

Considering we are shopping Milford out I think he would.

 

[johnyE]

Ok it's a key position ,but getting a good experienced running 5/8 who isn't scared to tackle will bring Dearden's game on considerably.

This would be WONDERFUL!

Imagine getting a gun fullback falling into our laps from somewhere too!

1. ??
2. Coates
3. Farnworth
4. Isaako
5. Kennar
6. Staggs
7. Dearden
8. Haas
9. Hunt
10. Papalii
11. Glenn
12. TPJ
13. Carrigan

14. Paix/Turpin
15. Lodge
16. Flegler
17. Riki

It isn't going to win a premiership yet but it is a step in the right direction.

Think he got a fairly serious leg injury on the week end.
Pretty sure he is gone for the season and a good part of the off season as well.
Wouldn't risk him now.

I thought it was a pec?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Yes it was a pec, not a leg. The original point still stands though, Foran isn't far off Kahu in the injury department. He is a glass jaw.

 

[The Strapper]

Could be.
Whatever it was he will take a while to recover from it.
I say we pass on him we don't want another Bird.

Oh I don't want him either.

NRL.com saying Papalii is going to re-sign with Canberra, bummer.
