Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hopefully we can build a team who can win the comp. Not interested in nice guys who are soft. Not interested in someone because he is acceptable but cheap. We get what we pay for. ATM with the team we have…lots of nice guys, cost effective only problem is won’t win you a comp only maybe the wooden spoon. Get some mongrel!!! Is truly needed for 80 mins a week. We have a better roster next year. This year you could have engaged all the coaches in the NRL and probably wouldn’t much better off than we are now. Missing Mongrel & Magic!
 
Okay we have identified the players we need, now how in hell do we get them to sign with us. Money doesn’t seem to be enough, geographically we are not in great demand and we are not a club with a winning culture.

Got a feeling it’s back to the nearly out of date shelve again and the clearance shelve.

Size is needed WT.

- Klemmer is getting on… long in the tooth
- Tapine is the perfect starting prop
- Bench rotations have been extremely poor
- Brandon Smith might push Crichton out
- Blore has the right defensive attitude

I’d get Sheens overseeing everything until seasons’ end and have Noddy/Gardiner coaching a lot behind the scenes, see if the change in clubs direction/harbouring a positive workplace culture has a causative effect on any of the aforementioned players signing?

I think we are 2 'gettable' elite players short of having a team to take us into the future next season.

Those 2 are ... Joseph Tapine (front row leader, metre eater, good ball skills, high tackle efficiency) + Matt Burton (5/8, game breaker, huge kicking game, goal kicker).

Then we just add a solid back rower and put a focus on developing speed & power in outside backs through our pathways. Doueihi to play either Centre or Lock. Hastings extended. Brooks & Madden may have to be expendable.

We need a Prop, Backrower, Center and Fullback.

I like Laurie but just don't see him being a long term fullback, he looks more like another fullback who will turn into a 5/8th Mbye style to me.

Tapine or Klemmer would take either + we are a bench impact prop short.

Backrower is a big problem, not many ideas on how we fix this hole - we have Blore & Papa next year that's it we have massive risk this year in the backrower and next year the gap gets bigger.

Center we are all sorts. JTJ who knows how he will come good, Burton could fill the void but would be on half money, AD could fill the void but depends on if he slots into 5/8th or not & doubt he would stay on as a center when he wants to play in the halves - lets be real how long do we give Brooks to get us wins & compete.

Seems like Dykes bailed. Scratch fullback

I agree with ur picks , but get real there is no hope we get them , we can’t get cheaper options, I would love to know who is in charge of negotiations and why the hell we are missing out on all these players
