kurt capewell

the cupboard is a bit bare though

If we had to buy one more back .
Would you buy a Centre or Winger ?

I would buy a wing who is capeable of filling in at full back. Beale, bird, luetele, capewell and even Feki are either centres or can can all easily play centre

Manly seem to think they are getting Gerard Beale and this Parcell release is making way for some 3-way fancy trade or some crap.

 

[Proud Shark]

Mamo gone to huddersfield, douchebag but would have been great depth if he could pull his head in at a new club.

 

[BurgoShark]

I'm surprised Parcell has gone to England. I thought he had to the goods to stick as an NRL player. Maybe the dollars were too good to knock back.

If we lose Beale, sign Segyaro and find a half-decent depth winger on the open market it will be considered a net gain.

 

[Gumby]

need props and backs.

 

[Sutty]

I think we have enough mid-forward depth now tbh. Latimore and maybe even Paulo not being in the first 17 is nice depth, having Gal not playing Origin will help as well.

I wonder if we are leaving a spot in our 25 for a possible Origin-time Barba return.

Id consider it a huge net gain considering who our possible 9's are.

Of course assuming we get Barba back mid season and Val moves back to the wing.

To secure a decent 9, get your main FB back and just lose half of the comp with a depth winger... would be a big win.

i forgot about paulo.

fifita
prior
taga
latimore
paulo
heighno

then still have bukuya & williams if need be. just need backs then after looking into that.

Welp it might be the season for Jordan Drew I guess; Weird to think that he debuted in 2013 in a Broncos team with Scott Prince as halfback and marking Daniel Vidot who was playing for the Dragons. Seems so long ago.

 

[Gumby]

what are our chances of getting seggy? 50/50 ? higher? lower?

 

[snowman]

50/50 mate

we either get him or we dont

walked into that one didn't i aha

 

[samshark]

Seems like the club has signed James Tuitahi. Former Eels and Eagles lower grades winger.
Anyone know what he's like.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I tried to find some stuff on him as I've seen him on a few training pics but not much out there. I think he was highly rated when he was younger

 

[Super Impose]

Wondering if Capewell as right wing is worth looking at.

His pace would probably be similar to Beale and Feki from what I have seen.

And very useful bringing the ball out of our end.

No

 

[Gumby]

No

well said

 

[CrazyMatt]

Also lets not forget that whoever gets that wing spot will only be a temporary solution if all goes to plan and Barba rejoins the club mid year. So if Beale goes to Manly then it might be worth blooding Drew or another youngster for the first half of the year.

 

[snowman]

Played wing before. Played centre before. Not a bad shout.
