Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Halbrowne61]

Let go of Brooks, Seyfart AKA King plodder, Peachey and Gildfart as they contribute little to nothing. Hopefully their fanboys piss off with them and we can get the average forum IQ up.

Laurie gets a year to show if he has anything resembling a work ethic, keep Tuki for depth and an opportunity to develop as he has all the physical tools.

Re-signing Hastings and AD is a no brainer unless we’re getting Munster or Brown.

Don’t disagree with your sentiments but feel that Brooks will survive.
Everything that’s happened so far points to him having at least one more season with us.
Not sure about 24 onwards ?

Matterson confirming he loves a dollar

Parramatta forward Ryan Matterson has knocked back a $4000 fine offered for the crusher tackle he made in the NRL grand final and will instead miss the first three games of the 2023 season.

Eels' Matterson chooses ban over fine

Hahahahaha that can’t be true 😂😂😂

A-D and Hastings are critical for this club.

Yeah maybe but I hope they don't want too dollar. Douhie needs to work on his game before he goes on about wanting positions and more money.

It's crazy to think the likes of Brooks and Moses don't have long left.

Didn’t Sheens mention he was heading back to England when he retires from the job at Wests Tigers. Is he going their for personal or business reasons.

Personal

As Cronk said,

Work ethic & dedicated > talent

Laurie is a show pony and imo, Edwards is a class act - looks to take his game seriously and puts a lot into his prep.

Haven't seen any of that from DL.

Once we sort out our forward pack, I'm hoping we work out our permanent spine one way or other, we need to sort out who our full-time halves are and release who ever isn't in the plans for the future and use those funds to top up an offer for a new fullback. Laurie is the smallest battering ram on the planet. Hodgeson was small but had a passing and kicking game and a turn of speed. Maybe with a new coach it will free Laurie up more but if he doesn't improve we need to go shopping.

Just as long as he’s back for the start of pre season training.

Laurie is quick, has a great passing game, is great under the bomb and is tough.

He will be.

Hopefully Sheens can bring more of it out of him, all I saw him do last year was ruck it up from the back

Agree - It can’t be real 🤣🤣

I believe there is more than one player who will look forward to Sheens' coaching rather than Maguire's.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Now did Sunday prove that Nathan Brown is not the answer to our forward prayers. It looked to me like a political decision by Arthur that yielded nothing.
Hope we haven’t wasted too much time in that direction.

I agree 100 percent with u there, they couldn't be more robotic than they were under maguire.

Well we certainly didn’t break any line break records which is where he you should shine.

He was worse than horrible.
You wouldn't feed him.
He is a fraud.
If Tigers sign him it will be a worse outcome than Ryan O'hara.

 

[tiger05premier]

Pene just released from the Warriors?
Maybe he is heading our way mmmmm

Is he any good?

Position?

 

[Demps]

Came through Melbourne system.
Prop

Pretty sure he started at Parra....
He's local there I think.

He's getting on 27-28....
Only debuted recently, Dunno if he's worth any bother....
Hasn't done much up until now.

You nailed it mate

I said in another post I'd rather Jordan Rankin than him

He is hopeless
