Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I cannot believe that we are looking for improved recruitment yet in the last 4 pages I have seen names tossed up like Jesse Arthurs, Morgan Harper and Jack Wighton.

How about we not recruit from struggling sides and focus on the rated juniors from Penrith, Storm and Roosters that cannot get a gig due to the volume of talent these clubs have.

I have a lot or time for Tapine and believe Aitken has merit too - but again if true we are recruiting from teams already struggling.

Even the clubs down the bottom have skilled individuals who are playing a team sport. Jack Wighton is a good player who has mixed it with the best in origin and grand finals. Not the sharpest but he’d add to our club.

Every team needs a back up half I spose. Haven’t seen anything to make me think he’s more than that.

Interesting nonetheless.

On the books we have:
Brooks
Hastings
King Adam

& Madden wants to extend... to what, play back up? 4th string.

I can honestly see young Zane becoming a more well rounded player and surpassing young Jock in the future.

I doubt madden wants to extend. I think it’s more a lack of options. May have earned a SL contract.
 
I like the idea of us signing the brother duo of Terrell & Taylan.

Terrell has looked solid in cup and could push for a top 30 contract and his brother walks straight into our backline.

Taylan seems the likeliest of the Penrith backs to drop out.... a fair contract, package deal for em and they could be ours.
 
Some options, since we love dealing with Ayoub Management.

Trey Mooney- lock, Canberra Raiders.
Isaiaha Tass - centre/wing, Rabbitohs.
Hudson Young - 2RF, Canberra Raiders.
Marika Koroibete- wing, welcome home, son.

Improve our roster massively.

I've always loved the idea of Picking in numbers....
Especially when we're trying to sign quality players from other teams

eg only - If the Tigers were trying to sign, Say.... Harry Grant....
I'd have looked to go for Harry, Cooper Johns & Nicho.
They've already got a super tight relationship and for young fellas coming up - That's the thing they'd be more worried to lose.
Harry and Nicho you can certainly use - And you'll pay for...
Cooper won't cost much and handy to have around (Especially if he helps you land the other big fish)

Same with getting blokes from England over - You've got more chance of getting a couple at the same time than getting them singularly...
Just adds a little re-assurance on top of the move.

I remember when Beau Ryan went to Cronulla - Because he didn't want to not play with Heighno...

Parra did it with Watmough - Signed a bloke who'd played almost 300 club games on the wrong side of 30 for 4 years!!
- Was never going to see out the contract, But they got Foran on the back of Watmough
- And on the Back of Forans name, They started to re-build the squad.

It certainly works - You've just gotta fight the right angle with the right fish.

Yep, smart...

We did it with Jake Simpkin... signed his best friend, Reece Hoffman.

Makes it an easier transition moving to a new state when you're doing it with your best friend.

Nicho, Grant and Johns would be great business... you'd get two super star spine players and their best mate to play backup/cup.

There's many examples of this we could do with the May brothers being another.

Also we did it with the Leiluas.
