Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[CloudyGlock]

His last two performances and his demeanour suggested he wasn't happy and the logical conclusion for us was to part ways and that's what we've done,” Cleary said at the time.

Moses hit back: “You can't put the results down to one player. That's what hurt me the most. I have a lot of respect for Ivan but to come out and say that, I was pretty filthy.”

That and he had already agreed to terms with Parra. Cleary knew

 

[Merlot]

Cleary put them all on notice-agents manager uncle moses extracted them all-those players sold out,cant begrudge him for that

Ok so most on here want LENUI , so we have the cap to make him a offer that he can’t say no , he’s no super star but he will want to look after him self , so decent offer over 3-4 years , u would think it gets him , BUT wait the drag queens or the knights or titans will sign him on a lesser amount because we seem to just sit on our arse . Sorry for the rant but getting really pissed with no signings

Moses had the offer sitting in front of him for over 6 months if he wanted to sign it he could have

gossip on monday said Lenui can/will be released early-but snag seemed to be they take Stains also-?

I get the frustration, but the Api and Papi signings really came out of nowhere…

It’s obvious we are looking for talent and I’m sure he’s on the list.

Penrith have a grand final to play this Sunday….we won’t hear anything until after that game.

The board at the time also committed to Taylor - until they were not. Too little too late.

Maybe that’s where all this talk of Staines coming here stems from?

“Most people” here were asking why we didn’t make a play for Hynes.

There’s always one or two that go against the grain, but I think your assessment is not how it went down.

In fairness to the club, we already had Hastings, Brooks and Doueihi + Laurie at fullback.

In the context of our squad and the positions we needed to fill, we looked at other options.

In fact, I think we were offering Mitchell and Addo-Carr at the time.

Actually no, most people said he was a 'Storm system' player, wouldn't be able to replicate the same form once he had to be the main man with a new coach and tactics.

Gebbie went well against PM’s XIII.

Sad the deal fell over during COVID.

It didn't. He joined us, albeit late. Wasn't fit enough and then left a couple of months after joining

there is really not much on the market this year,we are sitting prime for 24,good value if ,whats Lenui worth?peach 4 a stain

 

[balmain boy]

I hope that we keep HO'K, I think that he has plenty to offer.
He was injued a lot of this year, looks like he has a big body that with a huge off season could end up another Simon Dwyer.
Here hoping.

He's like 10kgs smaller than Dwyer was at the same age. Very different builds. O'Kane is more Murray than Dwyer

He was good in lower grades at Manly

Yeah…probably a deal you’d do to get Leniu on the books.

No idea what he’s asking though.

Any other news mate?

I usually get info on juniors if anything mate.

The two that will make their Harold Matt’s debuts next year for Wests that I’ve seen a lot of are Onitoni Large and Ali Karnib.

Onitoni better from what I’ve seen but Ali’s a great prospect too.

Still kids though.

I think we’re playing semantics now. Yes he signed on a train and trial deal, but left soon after. Because he didn’t see out any real time at the club, I’d call that a deal that fell over.

There is little information about why he went back to PNG.

If you can find me an article that states we let him go because of fitness, I’d love to read it because I always wondered why it didn’t work out with him. Would have been a great player based on his recent performance at least.

Honestly, I think the overall sentiment was positive, but we all view things in our own way.

You should do a poll!

Not only that most people said his a utility player who isn’t very quick so not likely to add much impact.

I thought he never made it into the country because of COVID.
I don’t recall any news about Gebbie actually joining the team for training.
