Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

Taking their sweet time to announce anything can sew why fans are hesitant we will sign anyone.

Still haven't replaced some players released earlier in the season

Clearing out some shit. Pretty good effort so far but need to replace them with reasonable quality players though.

Honestly thought we would be stuck with Musgrove and Liddle until they lapsed. Hopefully Brooks not far behind if Newcastle will pick up most of the tab.

The key is who comes in right.

I think though they are making the right calls to date on the existing crop.

Peachy, Gildart to go and from POM Simpkin also might be out.

Klemmer & Leniu right chases
Munster, Moses & Brown also good choices
Staines is better than we have & upgrade squad wise on Peach.

Naden 3yr extension is probably the only questionable call to date.

Tim is still stuffing a few into his luggage yet

And centres, remember Danny Galea, Sheens team selections were diabolical near the end of his last stint here

Matt Utai in the secondrow Fifita not in the team.

As far as I’m concerned if Knights want Brooks in ‘23 they pay full freight, or he can meet the KOE coach.

Not a piss take

Thats unfortunate, but it is what it is...

 

[bathursttiger1]

7 DCE
8 Josh Papalii
9 Api
10 Haas
11 Isaiah Papallii
12 A Murray
13 Taumalo

14 Utakimanu
15 Blore
16 Ofahengaue

[Tiger Tarl]

By my count, with Musgrove and Dias officially released, we have 27 in our top 30 for next year (including Talau and also Peachey and Gildart who are assumed to be being moved on).

1. Blore
2. Brooks
3. Doueihi
4. Fainu
5. Gildart
6. Hastings
7. Kepaoa
8. Koroisau
9. Laurie
10. Maumalo
11. Naden
12. Ngatikaura
13. Nofoaluma
14. Ofahengaue
15. Papali'i
16. Pole
17. Peachey
18. Reilly
19. Seyfarth
20. Simpkin
21. Simpkins
22. Talau
23. To'a
24. Tumeth
25. Tupou
26. Twal
27. Utoikamanu

Even with Klemmer we still have a few spaces to be filled.

People need to understand we need to offload before we can bring in..
Only Dogs seem to be able to buy before they offload..

As a lot have said we have let quite a few gone and none signed but IMO Sheens is pretty smart and will have players lined up or even signed.

Exciting times ahead and a whole new team where they can set standards for moving forward.

 

[batboy]

Santi

Anyone know what he been up 2 look pretty good for Italy

Playing 3rds in UK I think…
Keiley maybe - or Rochdale…
One of them

 

[Telltails]

Sheens has to jag some soon. Not long till training starts and I would assume that all clubs would be aiming to have a full preseason especially with incoming players.

If peachey goes - Staines takes his spot and leaves us with 28….
2 spots.

I reckon we’re at least 2 props and 2 second rowers short - a strike centre maybe and a quick Outside back / Fullback….

Normally I'd agree, but with the World Cup happening, all World Cup participating players are able to filter back into NRL club training depending on when they last played - they have to have time off before they rejoin their clubs.

Sullivan?

 

[DJG]

How about we bring the Luke Thompson chat back.. purchase him on a $400K PY, with dogs chipping in the other bit.

 

[WT2K]

Sullivan?

🐬

 

[Stevec]

If rumours of further departures are true ( and the departure ones usually are its the arrivals ones that are not ) we lose Brooks , Gildardt , Peachy , Maumalo and Jake Simpkin out of a list of 27 which leaves 22 including the likes of Reilly ,Fainu and Tumeth who have never played at NRL level
Everyone happy saying we just sign Klemmer ,Spencer Leinu ,Staines and Dylan
Brown but apart from Klemmer I seriously doubt the rest .
Seems to me that a lot of blind faith is hoping for some great recruits in November.
Please no more over the hill aging forwards eg Woods

Santi

No very wrong type of signing.

He's cooked.

I don't disagree with any of that. Yeah Naden could have probably got a year or two tops, it could be worse though, he is probably better than most of our 3/4 line.
