Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

He’s been out for awhile, but AD is one of our best players, and will probably relish the time and space he is going to receive from the new halves.

Unless the rot sets in, Madge won’t touch the halves and will tinker elsewhere.

I am still a bit mystified where we have found all this energy in recent games, so far as I can see, the resolution in the halves seems to have had significant positive flow on effects throughout most of the side.

Still a critical fullback issue without Laurie.

Moving up the table pretty rapidly has been nice. 97% completion. Amazing how that gives a side a fighting chance.

And there’s a long way to go in the season, but I definitely see threat from in our attack.

Having AD back and looking for a spot for him is a nice first world footy problem. So far as I recall, he’s a big asset and he must play as soon as he can stand up. His kicks in play are valuable. Each side genuine attacking options.

agree. hes odd one out

He’s not the odd one out he’s not even on the outer 😂😂

 

[wet tiger coloured bird]

we need drinkwater.

Not happening, we aren’t punting Doueihi and Drinkwater is unlikely

 

[TieDye]

This thread could do with a stint

 

[weststigerman]

2 wins and people want to get rid of one of our best players.

Glad you guys aren’t running the club.

Bird = No Thanks.

Has improved over last few weeks

Aqua would be a fullback option which we lack in

 

[tony soprano]

Bird good mate with Hastings or at least family friends.

 

[KH1988]

Bird did play 22 games last year - but he played 8 in 2018, 9 in 2019, and 0 in 2020.
He has done his left acl twice (2019 and 2020)
I don't think he is worth the risk when we have AD, AJ and Talau yet to play after long term injuries

He would only be depth for us and he would want a starting role, plus his defence is very poor, good in attack I’ll give him that but not a good defender, highly doubt we’ll sign him to be a starting fullback

Yeah his D has improved last few weeks. Heard him speak after last week's game spoke really well. Noted had a shoulder injury in preseason and behind the 8 ball. Took him a couple weeks to get back into it which fair enough but have seen improvement. Agree would still like to see how he goes against a top team tho

That’s a fair assessment if he plays when Cows are facing Panthers or Storm or Roosters I’ll see how he goes then

 

[Kelce68]

We aren’t moving Doueihi on he’ll be in the 17 each week when he returns, fans love him, players love him and the coaches and upstairs love him too, he will be kept

And I love 'im.

 

[weststigerman]

 

[SeanT]

And I love 'im.

He's the best centre at the club. Needs work on his defence but still the best.

Yeah I guess him and Laurie have similar ability Laurie prob a bit better in D.

But Laurie can find an injury so need a drinkwater calibre of player for cover.
