Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Pele in for Tamou. Nikora in for Leilua. Plus Api and Papli'i and the youngens we already have. Great pack for 2023.

BUT...

We're still missing a strike centre. They seem to be instrumental for success in the modern game...

Strike centres are about as thin on the ground as ever. Even if you look at the rep side most are fullbacks who shift to the centres. Most of the top sides have steady centres rather than outstanding. The big money goes to fullbacks and that’s generally where the best outside backs end up.

Who’s got the good oil on any “done deals” for Pele or Niakoria? Been checking all day hoping for something!

Anyone have any idea what the go with Garner is? Injured? Out of favour?

Brooks could've left already but the club loves him.

I agree. Brooks has had long enough to make his mark.

Do people still listen to that show?

Tunks hates Wests.

Perhaps injury management from last year,

Just goes to show that you can always buy some expensive cattle .. but in the end they are still just cattle .. hehehe .. Barrett couldnt lead sheep to water .. useless .. !!

Yep Barrett is going to do the same job he did at Manly to the Bulldogs. He will be better then Jason Taylor but the team will have to play his way.

This is going to bruise ego's.
The TPJ, JAC, etc I cannot see staying their four years. Barrett's person skills will be fine but Phil Gould is a wrecking ball. I expect that expensive cattle will start to leave when they don't perform.

Madden has cold feet from media .do we put money into him or look elsewhere

Cold feet from media?
What's that mean?

 

[Spartan117]

WestsLife - go well on the podcasts, facebook, twitter, Insta ect. They do a couple of podcasts a week. They are very active on the socials and discord

I like this also. Good insight and the call Pascoe out for his inept performance.

Wish they would fix audio level issues.

Constantly having to adjust volume.

He is developing nicely and until the last game has gone mostly unnoticed. Good young halves are in short supply so the answer imo is invest in him. Aren't we about backing youth? Not long ago many thought very little of the playing ability of Seyfarth, but he was always a very good player. Madden is of similar quality.

The pascoe one was a good one.

I hear Nikora is pretty much over the line. Supposedly another Sydney team made a move and were told he’s going to the Tigers.

Madden played one good trial. I’m not saying he won’t kick on but I wouldn’t be offering crazy money for him. We may recall Luke Brooks having an outstanding NRL debut.

Rua I like and I’d be looking to get him on a sensible deal that reflects his current status.
