Some real positive news coming out of tonight. Of course I am really wrapped about Rob but I think Joey is really important of the re-signings.
Great work for the a VRU born & bread coach to get a crack within the coaching ranks.

Good signings, do we have confirmation of Carter Gordon staying?

I was under the impression Gordon signed a multi-year deal

Nothing from tonights announcement has filled me with any confidence for anything more then another below par season in 2022.
Really needed a big player signing to replace Koroibete, the signing of 3 squad players. None who would really be pushing the starting 15 is disappointing. Needed at least one for fans to be excited about.

Stiles as GM assuages me about Foote as HC. Sorovi was underrated at the Reds.
I'm sad about Koroibete and Naisarani leaving too but it's not like their miracle plays saved our season. We need to get the rest right before the fireworks.

Yes they are indeed squad players. Ioanne been in brumby academy but does not seem to have ever cracked match day 23. His youtube highlights real for Gungahlin was also so so. Sorovi is probably the bench 23 half while not sure about Joe Pincue as watch a bit of 7's but bit of unknown for me.

Who said they aren’t going to have a big player signing? This isn’t the last of the signings.

Absolutely hope not. Especially as they don't have a Fullback on the roster with DHP and Worth gone.

According to the gospel of Wikipedia - we have 24 players signed for the new season, and there were were 35+ signed for last - logic would say there will be a fair few more signings in the next few weeks.

Moses will be capped by Fiji soon, which makes it hard to have a bench spot taking up the international quota. Same thing happened with Scott Maloua last year.

I thought Sorovi was Torres Strait Islander - is he part Fijian as well? Good player, very good recruit for Rebels I would say.
His mum's TI, his dad is a former Fijian Heavy Weight boxer I believe
Does it count if they weren't capped when signed? At this point he is still eligible for the Wallabies.
I wonder if that changes if he gets capped between signing and actually playing?
