Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

24/ Spine will be interesting with Muney, Brooks, Moses and Api.
Is it affordable?
Are we then hoping our young forward pack will be enough to get over the line?
Is this why Laurie is being trained as a backup half?
I wonder how Brooks feels about being demoted to 5/8 again, again. And even Marshall whom suggested after the parramatta game that Brooks should move back to Halfback hmmm.
Could Sheens do a Val Holmes on Adam Doueihi and convince him that he will become a rep quality centre if allows himself to believe that he can be more involved in a game if he is playing a position other than 5/8.

That's only adding Klemmer, Frizzell, Munster and Moses to a team we already have. Surely we can get that under the cap!

Live the dream ….. but when reality bites I think we might be happy if we just jag one of those.

Kinda think fir next year at best we’ll end up with players like Brown, Fifita, Doorey and couple of players from either NZ rugby or ESL.
But I’m here to be surprised …. please.
 
Regardless of what happens

Love the fact Sheens, Marshall and Farah aren’t settling for nuffies and throwing there hats in for the big fishes - very refreshing

Worst we can do is make other clubs sweat around Moses and Munster
 
If we are serious about Munster, Brown or Moses etc... I would be having a good crack at Burton.
He is a star in the making and already played SOO and we all know the dogs cap must be close to been filled.. Even if it only makes Dogs increase offer that would be a win as them getting him for 800k is a bargain IMO. Give Gus some of his own medicine

Don't be. He's been a broke-down shell of himself since he returned from Canberra. That shoulder surgery did him in. Maybe the same surgeon who ruined Sammy's shoulder. The guy you should be looking at is Jack Welsby. This kid is something special. 6'2/6'3 - plays fullback but with the ferocity of a backrow forward. Quick. Explosive. Ferocious competitor. Best of all - off-the-charts rugby IQ. Scores. Huge number of assists. 20 - 21 years old? Generational talent. He's definitely going to the NRL and the club that gets him will be lucky to have him.

We've had this argument many times over. It's always been someone else's fault. He didn't have the spine apparently, but he had a spine with Moses, Teddy and Farah.

Then he didn't have the pack, but he had Galloway, Woods, Taupau, Gavet.

Then he didn't have the coach. Couldn't do it under Potter, Taylor, Cleary or Madge.

There's always an excuse with him. Other players and coaches have all taken the bullet when they've underperformed (I include Madge in this as well, before you try to go the apologist route on me,) it's Brooks turn.

The forwards you’ve named as his pack are quite ploddish . When has he had a good pack?

Welcome to the forum. He gets my vote over Bateman.

Facts don’t come into the Brooks argument mate, only wins and losses and worn out blinkers. Funny how the other halves can’t win here either. 😂

I'm past that point now, after Cleary bailing and waltzing into Penrith and experiencing immediate success and Madge somehow managing to send this club further down the shitter after building Souths into a powerhouse club I can't help but feel like there's zero reason to be happy with the direction of the club until they actually start showing that there will be a reason to be optimistic.
