Tapine on the move

[roostermcgregor]

This is never going to happen in a million years.
We have a list of FG front rowers and backrowers as long as your arm, plus some great forward talents playing for Norths.
If we signed Tapine, where does the money come from to resign Angus?
And we have potential holes in the backline with BMoz gone and JMoz not there forever - I'd say that's our priority.

Billy Smith, Joseph Sualli cover the outside back slots moving forwards

You make it sound like we only ever sign players. Friend, Bmoz, and possibly Cordner retired.

And before someone wheels out the "all that money will go to upgrades". A big chunk of Cronk and Mitchell's money has gone into upgrades. We had $400k leftover last year to sign SBW, and despite still paying $180k(?) for Flanno this year we have money left over to chase TJ Perenara.

A goal kicking center/winger wouldn’t go astray.

I can definitely see this happening, and I'd be absolutely stoked if it comes off. Having Radley, Cordner, Crichton, Tupouniua and Tapine at our disposal would be absolutely lethal, and I have no doubt he'd thrive under Robbo. The only things that might make me uncomfortable is the fact that this would heavily point to Cordner retiring either at the end of this year or possibly next, and would also concern me in regards to our chances of retaining Crichton.

With that being said, I'd be thrilled if he comes on board. He could be a very serious weapon.

Big mobile prop/backrower/ Lock very valuable player! Being kiwi No Origin!!!!

Billy smith kicks goals an that fiji player Vuate can kick goals from half way

[Vasco]

Pretty sure we are covered for Backrower's I call BS!

Second row is our weakest position.

Second row is our weakest position.

It is? Angus and Sitili go ok. Plus Cords is back soon.

Please explain.

Lime milk. Yuck

[Johnny Tobin]

He murdered us last season.

We haven't used the $350k compensation for Cordner being injured in a rep match yet which must be used on a like for like basis (player at the same position as the injured player), signing Tapine for the remainder of the season would allow us to use that $350k

Has the $350K compensation been granted yet?

Was granted before the season started just haven't used it yet.

Personally I can't see it happening especially for this year.

But if we were to get TJ and Tapine for this year grab your popcorn and get on Twitter for hours of enjoyment.

And there it is. The moaning from the Faiders fans would be worth the price of admission anyway. Money well spent!

The place is imploding by the second down here. Players want out and the fans want Sticky gone as well.

This has been coming for a while and if you remember, I did tip them to miss the eight before the season started.

On another point, I know Joe and he is a lovely bloke and would fit our culture quite well however we do have coverage in those spots already but if Cords is done, then that's another story all together!
