Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

We need better than Hastings….And Brooks of course. Can’t forget him otherwise some will think you love the guy.

Halves dont grow on trees mate. They will go okay behind a decent pack. Just need a decent pack.

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

Spotted Luke Garner working with the What Ability young adults at Concord -great guy who takes his ambassadorial role seriously.

Pity he can't play.

 

[Don Kershane]

What do you do on your day off, presuming you are employed?

Thoughts ?

Looks better than what we have, will do better than us next year that's for sure.

I very rarely suggest a new signing, however, today is different.
Joey Manu
Give him what he wants in his contract
Play him in his preferred position
The job is made harder without Madge, but surely this is the perfect fit marquee signing we’ve been waiting for?

Very good question.

Agree mate both halves have been underwhelming.

Not sure in time if a change of coach will help that or not. Time will tell.

Hastings will be fine with better players around him.

Not next year with Hastings and Koroisau steering the ship and Papali'i leading the pack. We'll be better than that dross. They may yet get some marquee signings though, I'd imagine they'd have plenty of cap space left from the look of that lineup...

Still don’t have decent front rowers

He's amazing.

Such a talent.

No way Roosters would lose him.

They should throw the keys to the kingdom at him....no way he would come anywhere near us.

 

[twentyforty]

Play him where?

1 or 6. I prefer him at 1.
The Burtons and Manus eventually fall from the tree if the cap works.

Things aren’t going to plan lately at the chooks.

Bit of a risk with cooks playing him in centre all his career

Interesting to see if he'll last a 6

But agree he needs move and challenge himself somewhere

Play him where?

I am in if he can play, fullback , centre, 5/8 , all at once , because that’s what we need

Most clubs would be prepared to give him wants. We’re zero chance with or without Madge.

There was talk a while back, before the Warriors signed Walsh, that they offered him $1M to be their fullback. Instead he signed with the Rorters for $400K. At least that's how I remember it. Was probably a DT or Fox Sports article, with figures bound to be made up, but anyway, even if the numbers were off on both sides of the offers, still shows what the "also rans" footy teams are up against.

(Edit: found one article about this - https://www.sportingnews.com/au/lea...mes off-contract at,to move across the Tasman.)

What makes you say we’re zero chance to land Manu?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Where do you start. On field results, front office, the fact rookie coaches turn us down, it doesn’t bode well for chasing marquee players. When has a Rooster ever left Bondi to come to the demountable‘s at Concord?
