Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If Hastings is unsigned 1 November and Scott Woodward Analyst over at Dogs and Adam Hartigan running pathways at belmore you would think if they can move Flannagan then they will offer Hastings number 7
If Sheens is adamant about playing Hastings at 13 and he doesn't want to then he may well be belmore bound in 2024

Well after they paid massive parts out of Moylan, RCGs, Mansour, Cartwright, Latu , Merrin and Blake’s huge contracts he gave them. They have gone well.

If we'd have recruited most of those blokes instead of the ones we have, We might have played finals more recently...
Like they mostly have...

He also bought through and signed - 7-8 (Current origin players)

I'm no Gus fan, But he cops it just cos people don't like him....
I'd have him running my club in a heartbeat.

Not many know the game and have the gravitas that he does

Have a look at the fox league instagram

Fox sports article 3 has ago has a list of off c9ntracted players. In relation to Cricht9n he has a handshake deal with Roosters for a 2 year extension

Gould cops it a bit of tall poppy syndrome. Not his biggest fan but he did set up Penrith for success

The current Management appear to have finally learnt from their recruitment fails.

I hope you're right. I still have low confidence levels.

To be fair they are making good decisions atm regularly.

Gus sets up Gus for success. 😉

I read sheens is in UK looking to recruit halfbacks to shore up that area if we lose Brooks and he's targeting Jake Maizen and Josh Mansour ?
Both these guys are wingers not sure how that bolsters are half's stocks

i read that article as they have no idea who sheens is looking at... on a side not mansour and maizen played great footy rah rah rah
not linking the players with sheens at all and in fact mentioned newcastle and sharks are looking at maizen

I dunno about gravitas, but he certainly is doing his best to generate his own gravity of late.

Don't throw stones at Gus, they'll become satellites.

7 billion people in the world....
How's that make him different to anyone else?

Take Skando back before I took Woods back ....take Fifita before I took Woods back .....take Ava back before we bring back Woods

I raise you a nick Graham in todays condition before Woods I am selfish stuff the club belittle it in public and talk to current players at the time Tedesco and Moses about going to the dogs he played a big part in Teddy leaving

Michelle Bishop on SEN this morning said we’re linked to David Fifita now, and Luke Brooks is 100% gone before season 2023, clubs negotiating the swap/freight at the moment

The Gold Coast fafita?

Fox League are saying Angus Crichton is unsigned for next year, I thought he had struck a deal with the chooks earlier in the year

It was reported he did, like the Bulldogs I think a few clubs are waiting on the NRL to formally commit the salary cap for next year to then have contracts submitted.

 

[Muffstar]

The Gold Coast fafita?

She said Andrew Fafita not David.

The more successful his club is, then there will be a natural flow on to him.
But if the club fails then he fails.

 

[Roar_Power]

She said Andrew Fafita not David.

Lol, thats more like the Tigers.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Imagine the Wests Tigers "the development club" sign both Woods and A Fifita 🙄

Except they don't fail....

I love how he's not the victim, The media have been at him for 30 years and just don't get to him or past him.
Fantastic personality to have fronting a club, He knows more than most about the game, From admin to playing.... He's very rarely bested.
Solid back bone for any club.

I thought we were done signing the Dregs and in particular players that chose to leave us to play their best years somewhere else.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I hope you're right. I still have low confidence levels.

Like letting Madden go, then Brooks and possibly Jacko.
Whether is bad luck or bad planning we seem to be falling in a heap, subject to Brooks/ Jacko being true.
I would have thought if Brooks does go, then Jacko would automatically take over the 7 shirt, which, from what the Pom mentioned, is currently a hurdle in resigning.
I was amazed when I read Diaz was going to Manly, I thought we had developed him ready to move forward.
There are a few things happening at present that have me very concerned about whether they are making good decisions atm.

Great response.
Exactly, or is it back to the future!
