Recruiting both woods and taupau would be silly IMO. We'd be spending to much money on middle forwards when it could be of better use else where. Its one or the other and preferably it's taupau
You also need go consider we are probably short one middle forward on our roster this year. Then need one go replace Gallen
I know I’ll get shot down for this & it will be unpopular & hope my post doesn’t get taken out of context but is Katoa that damn good?
If he ends up half as good as the hype we’ll have a hell of a player on our hands, look, I’m not bagging him, I understand he’s a young guy with only a handful of games in FG under his belt so I’ll give him some slack & time but I hardly think it should be a given he’s a definite wing spot for us in 2019 or st this stage or based off what he has shown thus far.
I like anyone of you guys want him to be a gun but geez, let’s see what he can do before making him a lock for one of our wing spots.
No chance manly end up chipping in anything, theres enough demand for him. Tapau will be worth 900k+ also IMO. If we end up with him and fifita we'd be sinking close to 2 mil into two forwards.
also put a halt to aggressively chasing barba
In one of the Woods articles Flano was quoted as saying that they are trying to re-sign Jack Williams, and extend Katoa and Nikora.
Taupau wont get 900imo.
that's 450-500k we could spend on a centre. Its about balancing the squad which flanno is massive on and has stated beforeNot if we get Woods for the 450-500k reported.

imo he's a lock for one of those wing spots. He absolutely killed it in NYC, destroyed every key winger stat and other stats wingers shouldn't necessarily dominate like tackle busts etc.
I've watched alot of NYC prior to it not being televised and he was as dominant as Holmes but from the wing. He's going to be a gun imo, it's just a matter of when not if.
Of course he's not going to come out of the blocks straight away, might not see the best of him till next year but he's going to be a gun. If you dominate NYC like that its a good bet you're going to make it in first grade.
Bang on. Haven’t seen flanno this excited about a young kid before. He rates him, I’ll trust the process
This is 100% not true. I never question your posts but whether its aggressively or not aggressively we are still negotiating Barba to sharks for 2019.
No we arent. We are putting more effort in keeping holmes in the 1. Barba will stay at st helens or go the gold coast
no,no,no no no. Sydney is the best place for him away from his dead**** mates and family. His brother is being sentenced atm for a serious assault against an opponent. Guy was celebrating a teammates try running in clapping and Barba unprovoked just lays into the bloke. Everytime Ben comes to town he leaves qith rumours of him and his family running amok. With role models like that....Maybe townsville would be a good home for barba

If I was him I would stay in the UK.
Can’t be Marmin. He played last weekend and nothing like that happened. He’s also not living up in FNQ.Marmin or a different brother
Was Aaron. Happened at a Union game late last year. Could of been better than Ben if he didnt **** up so much.Marmin or a different brother
