2013 Official Thread + Signing news

[storm boy !]

The two players that have caught my eye in the feeder teams are martin taupa from the bulldogs and leon Panapa from easts.. I think we should pick up one of these young fowards. Very good players that arnt getting much 1st grade .

And for our boys, lock up tohu, kenny, garbutt, fonua, vave ect. They will all be future stars in time ..

yes yes and yes! would be a massive signing, des is treating him like tony williams when he first got him, start off slow and then he will burst onto the scene in a big way. i would throw good $$ at him 150k to 200k a year for 3-4. he will be a superstar by the end of next year

[storm boy !]

I hope melbourne sign or bellamy atleast looks at some of these players:

Sam kasiano- would be a big signing, imo bellamy could turn him in to the best foward in the game. Him and bromwich would be great go foward up front!

MARTIN TAUPAU- would aslo be a massive signing for the club.. Will soon be t-rex number 2 if a club picks him up! i hope bellamy makes a play for This guy.

Leon Panapa- looking very good in QLD cup for easts, has been there best so far this year.

george rose- not getting any game time at manly, and under bellamy could prove to be a good buy. (if he gets fit and looses some weight)

Theres more but those 4 would do great in a purple jersey i think, expecially marty taupau and sam kasiano! Doubt bellamy would offer sam any money, lots of clubs would be after him and we probally wont be able to afford him.
But panapa and taupau would be cheap and very good buys!

Personally i'd love too see:

1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Duffie
3. DANE NEILSEN (Really looking the goods this year, the best centre option on the market)
4. Will Chambers
5. JUSTIN O'NEILL (Rate him highly, got to keep this kid)
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Jesse Bromwich
9. Cameron Smith (c)
10. RUSSELL PACKER (Big mean and strong, a massive motor and still young, would go great with Jesse)
11. Kevin Proctor
12. TONY WILLIAMS (Imagine this guy as Cronks option with Slater out the back.. *Drools*)
13. Ryan Hoffman

14. Ryan Hinchcliffe
15. SIKA MANU (Would love to keep big Sika, he was our best forward in 2011)
16. MARTIN TAUPAU (Another kid with a huge future, would love to see him in purple)
17. MOSE MASOE (Gee the Roosters are quick to forget, was great last year and seems to be on the outer)

So there you have it, whilst highly unlikely too happen due to salary cap pressure, i would be so excited to run out with this 17 in round 1 2013! Thoughts?

Personally I`m hoping that we concentrate on re-signing most of our current squad rather than looking at out side but if we are going into the market I would love to see us have a crack at Russell Packer or Matt Scott ( I thought he was off contract this year but I cant see his name there so maybe not). If Ryles does retire maybe looking at another older tank like Evarn Tuimavave or Richie Fa'aoso might be worth looking at to help Noz add some experience while we bring the young guys through

Maybe even sign up Luke Burt as well, probably one of my favourite players from another club over the last decade.

[storm boy !]

We have fonua, oneil that are gunna be future stars in another season or 2.
Why would we need colin best and quinn in the backline! There getting old and there good days are coming to an end.
Fonua, oneil are young, got lots of speed and strength and are just gunna get
better and better!

Geddes? i dont think so. Could sign someone for alot cheaper (marty taupau) and would give us alot more impact and size!
My opinion anyway..
