Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

To be fair in 2020 as defence coach the Knights finished 7th on the ladder and let in 374 points in 20 rounds. This year they are 14th and let in 522 points by Round 20 the worst in the comp at that point and on 624 from 23 games.

Dogs were at 504 points and last in 2020 for defence (20 rounds) and this year after 20 rounds and only 427 points let in (11th in defence). His record as defensive coach seems to be one of improvement. He was also assistant at Cowboys when they won the comp in 2015.

I’m actually ok with him coming we need experience around Benji & Robbie.

Watched the interview with Adam on Tigers site , they ask him about his contract and I don’t think he was happy about it , said he’s got nothing to do with it leaving It to his manager , I think he will sign else where and head for early depart in Off-season , need another player signed I think as he won’t stay

if douhie goes it might be Schuster

Sua is a massive Bennett fanboy. Was never coming here.

Wasnt it mentioned on here by someone that sua,s management offered him to us?

AD's body language of late tells me he's going. Tigers desperate attempt to keep him was to give him the captaincy for the last two games.
Still my gut feeling is he wont accept any position other than ⅝.
I must be immune to all this... I don't really care atm, as long as we are better next year.

Just re-signed with them. Very big wraps on him.

It is fast looking like we will be in a worse situation next year than we have ever been in before.

Chinese?

Schuster is giving up the world cup to focus on Manly.

Yep think so, probably to pump up his price a bit.

Can't handle losing by the looks of it.

Can't fix it either

They need more than just Sheens to learn the ropes in the next 2yrs. Furner will come in and focus on defensive side which we need.

Furner has been successful & just as unsuccessful as well. Been assistant for ages but also head coach stint. Think he is a good fit and one that actually makes sense.

AD reckons he is a 5/8, wants good $$$. We signed him on good $$$ for 4 years. He was to slow for fullback, he isn’t a centre, his kicking game, passing and tackling for a 6 is very questionable. It takes him half a game to finally start injecting himself on the game.

Looks like the club is waiting to get lucky again for an api /Papalli type Signing

I doubt we would let him go a season early unless it was to our advantage.

24 is different but alot of halfs are on the market so lets see what comes of it.

I don’t see him being a starting 5/8 anywhere else to be truthful and to get big $ I doubt ,he better off here

(Arguably) our best player.
If he leaves....

It'll be much like what we have come to expect, any of our good juniors or players in general getting released to better clubs whilst we progressively get worse.

Outrageous.

AD will come in good after a pre season.

Was it part of his contract when signing with WT that he was to play 5/8..I don't think so. Play where the coaching staff (right or wrong) think that you can benefit the team best. Hope the new coaching regime take charge.."AD this is where we think you fit into this team, don't like it please close the door on your way out".

He'd have options. Could see storm picking him up
