Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SeanT]

There were a couple of beauties:-

1. We absolutely need to get Finucane. He is a forward leader who is worth whatever you pay him.
2. Pay Stef whatever he wants.
3. Hastings will be a dud.

We'd be screwed now if we were managing the team. Thank God for Tigers management. They're are doing so much better than us.

Since when? Since 2011?

This lot couldn't organise a.chook raffle.

Payne’s production has been unreal this year, but imo that’s partly because of Adam Reynolds.

Adam has changed how the Broncos play through the middle and how they shift their attack on both sides of the ruck. Payne looked sloppy last year, he now looks back to his best and is constantly dangerous.

Who would of thought that a gun half could do that and get the Broncs to 4th on the ladder...

Any thoughts on signing Vunivalu and/or Radradra. Jess Colquhoun from the Sharks is also worth a look.

I like the idea of Radradra, but he’s getting paid more coin playing rugby than league, same with Vunivalu.

Not sure about Jesse haven’t see enough to judge.

Radradra linking with the dolphins if rumours over the weekend are correct.

 

[tigerballs]

I reckon we are in a much better spot. The problem is we have Sheensy in charge and that guy was hopeless at managing critical situations like this that we had in the past.

Like when he won the comp?

Like when he won the comp?

That was one of the highlights of my sad life.

He did go to pieces though. The Brooks bashers would have a field day with Johnny Copper Cronk Morris.

 

[tigerballs]

I guess that’s a worthwhile call, Sheens felt it was time to break up the boys club. Happened to Manly also, sometimes tough calls need to be made.
In the scheme of things. That call was hardly a drop in the water to one the club made when they decided to reneg on Sheens contract 1 year into his 4 year deal.

Fafita was an accident waiting to happen and it was the right call to move him on.

Our CEO already did the cheating bit. He failed at that too.

we can't even cheat properly

what w I understand we need to get smi radradra probably too much ?

Yeah I’m not saying start throwing money around like a crypto investor in a strip club but if you want quality you have to pay for it. And when you are perennial underachievers you have to pay a bit more again.

There’s no point having a pile of gold if you’re just going to sit on it. We need to start singing players who go straight into the top 13, not filling spots 20-30.

like the bulldogs

I've said it before - There's been a gazillion "Cameron Ciraldos"
Remember Garth Brennan (Barely lasted a year)

The Titans and Knights coaches were the next Cameron Ciraldos - Both got better squads than us, How they doing?
Big complaint about Morris at the Sharks was they can't beat top 8 teams - Got Supercoach Fitzgibbon, How many top 8 teams they beaten this year? (Got Parra and Dragons early on) been ordinary since....

There's only so many coaches that go the distance - Maguire has proven he can go the Distance, With an ordinary roster.

so have sheen

I liked your suggestion of Kayal Iro

 

[batboy]

so have sheen

When?
Won the comp in his 3rd year, And sailed on it for the rest of his time...

He also failed spectacularly with a much better roster than we have now...
Didn't make finals for the next 4 years after winning the comp - That would have to be a record...

Nah parra took about a decade after 86

we should get burgess

 

[diedpretty]

Surely we are talking to the management of Kayal Iro at the Newtown Jets.

Up there with Lachlan Miller as the form player of the NSW Cup, young, junior Kiwi rep, can play Centre or 2nd Row. Would be down the pecking order at the Sharks & reportedly been offered to Super League clubs.

But no doubt we are in a holding pattern until the Board makes decisions on mid season review recommendations.

He certainly has the pedigree.

 

[gallagher]

we should get burgess

Lol, I read that as burgers...

 

[crazycat]

The only prop who is/was worth anywhere near that amount of money was Beetson and Haas is not even close to his ability.He is a good player and worth about 800k max

No Offense to Arthur Beetson, NRL legend.
Props now are worth a lot. Lets give some modern examples:
Shayne Webcke - just a really solid bookend. Took massive unders and told Wayne just give me what's left over. Huge hard hitter and a key reason the Broncos made the finals in 2005. Add Thaiday and you see a massive aggressive pack.
Sam Burgess, huge boost for the south front row. Sure they are half family but they were the muscle that gave Souths their finals appearance in 30 years.
Jason T. Moves 200m per game, plays better then two people!
David Fifita/TPJ these are seen as the new style of tryscoring forwards. Just massive units. They are on the 1m mark.

Payne Haas has huge consistency and has been a major front row force for NSW.
Do we forget that Aaron Woods and Andrew Fifita got us to our last semi Finals appearance?
If we don't have the guys up front, we won't make the top 4.
