Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No to Jarrod Croker. He's another one running on busted knees and too old.
He would struggle in a side like ours.

5 years ago maybe but not now.

Agree. Gotta stay away from these players very obviously in decline . Cough cough JTJ, cough, Tamou. cough cough Peach.

I don’t expect this to popular, but idk why we don’t enquire about Jarrod Croker. Clearly out of favour, and may not play first grade at the Raiders again. He could plug a hole for a year or two in a position we are ridiculously weak in. Plus he’s a gun goal kicker, another plus.

You truly hate this club don't you... 😂

Staines will most likely go back to reggies. But there is a opening for other clubs May doesnt have a contract in 23 and Staines does.

Right now clubs would have to offer him ridiculous cash to sign him good chance he’ll stay at Panthers I would be shocked if he left

Maybe not, they quickly shafted his brother.

He’s not playing like someone whose unhappy.

The guy was a complete tool, he shafted himself.

I think 350K two years good deal he is defensive strong smart Player just has an error or two in his game but better than what we have

Don't think this will happen imo to many moving parts. Drinkwater for Lucy is more imaginable unless you have good oil?

I’m not so sure. It all depends on Cap and team vibrations I guess you could call it.
When the Hammer returns, do you put him straight back to fullback? He is an origin centre, does he go there?
Val may end up being offered up in a swap it’s a position we have no strike in.
You have to ask yourself if the Cowboys are enquiring about getting Lucy early surely they’ve discussed who they would be willing to bring to the negotiation table.

Miles better. And pretty realistic if we wanted to pursue it.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I know everyone goes on about the back row and I whole heartedly agree. But our centres stocks are a wasteland.

Says a lot when we're yearning for the return of Talau and Kepaoa.

I swear some people watch a different game - congrats on being the first person in his NRL career to call him a strong defender.

He's an over achiever.

He's done. Retirement awaits.

Haha remember the semi final against ud that he choked in and missed the goal funniest shit ever.

He’s last few games I’ve seen, he couldn’t tackle kids at a birthday party

Yeah, he's not for us.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think May is a realistic chance, as when To o comes back from injury its back to regies for May. Now that he has got a taste of first grade the realisation of being stuck behind To o might have him thinking of going elsewhere. Make him a good offer,as I don't know if we are resigning Tommy Talau for next year.

would May not get a spit ahead of Charlie Staines?

 

[king_sirro]

Staines was obviously overrated after his debut game, and showed very little last year. But I've been surprised at how physical he is playing this year. Every run and every tackle has a real physical intent to it.

Wouldn't surprise me if he turns into a pretty effective first grader. At the moment he is concentrating on getting physical, but eventually his timing and will come with everything else and he will be a dangerous player.

Last year I was happy we missed out on him, but this year I see a future for him. Wouldn't mind picking him up at a reasonable rate. He will be a better fullback then Laurie.

He seemed to coast last year. Cleary probably told him over the off season that he needed to do more grunt work and he responded, because he knows he’s easily replaceable. Unfortunately for him To’o got injured, which unleashed May. Now he’s turned into the placeholder.
