Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

Most players that could work out don't want to come to this destination (frustration) club eg. Luke Lewis.

They know that they would have to work their guts out to even have a remote chance of any sort of success at this club, so either they pass up on coming or if they do come, treat it as an early retirement and just go through the motions knowing that this is their last contract, why knock yourself out.

One would have hoped that Api and Papali'i signing would have opened the door for others to come, but while we are not winning games and copping crap in the media I just don't see this being something that is going to happen in a hurry and having new teams coming into the competition certainly doesn't make things any easier.

Doesn’t help the bloke charged with creating our vision for a better future currently has his feet up. Papali’i and Api have taken note. Time to chill.

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

Still better than Gildart and a more realistic signing than May.

Penrith boy for life ud think

Maybe not, they quickly shafted his brother.

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

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.

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
