Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You seem to be saying that both my statements are correct but that there is no connection between them . Fair enough that's your point of view . I think we have offered a number of players good coin .

So let me get this straight. You believe players are knocking us back because of what our lower grades are called.

Yeah I rarely watched NYC games ...but when I did Milone looked a superstar in the making and his build reminded of Renouf ...a bloke who I had seen close up in 1986 being in the same Qld schoolboy side ..had shocking hands for a few years ...but when he grabbed it ..watch out

Just for you Happy, I found this photo circa 2015 with young superstars Matt Lodge and Nathan Milone. I have blacked out the good looking bloke that was in the middle to protect my identity.Lodge & Milone.JPG

hardly a dinosaur. I'd say you are referring to Mick Lubinskas who played with both Wests and Balmain. people on here always whingeing about no football nous on the board. And yes from reports he did resign over naming issues and has put his talents totally to Wests Ashfield and the Magpies.

People complain that there's no football nous on the Board, because the Board has never overseen success.

Welcome to WT, Napa 🔥
L’Independant reported: “(Catalans) management told Dylan Napa and Josh Drinkwater that they would not be retained despite a year of contract, which brings the number of departures to twelve pending the recruitment of three to four additional players.”

Please no.

That's baloney and I'll repeat the sequence of events again, for about the 10th time.

Jason Taylor was head coach in 2015 when Tigers scouted JAC from Sharks Toyota Cup. You are trying to argue that the head coach who oversaw a junior signing wanted to keep him in reserve grade? Baloney.

JAC played 4 FG games prior to signing with Melbourne, and they announced him the day after his 4th appearance. He played rounds 7, then 11-13 before signing with Melbourne. JAC went on to play another 9 matches, which again is fairly considerable for a guy that apparently the head coach thought was a reserve-grader.

Furthermore Rankin played in 7/9 matches that JAC played, including the first 3 (i.e. JAC was not a Rankin injury replacement).

So your recount of events is custard.

The way I read the JAC signing with the Storm was: Frank Ponissi came to Sydney earlier in the week that we played the Storm and signed JAC before he made his debut against them.
 
I was friends with his daughter
She attended MLC college.
Sensational, thanks for the msg
How good. Storied career, Wayne

I don’t know our juniors as well as @pawsandclaws1 but if they are worth their salt, they will welcome the challenge as, of yet they are unproven. Pretty sure they would take the same view.

Promising players with this attitude are the type we need to get back to the top.

Prima donnas that often think they have been hard done by, quite often don’t make it.

Pretty sure they won't as they want to play 1sts if they back themselves, so this is a rubbish response at best. We have probably 10-15 or so kids for 1 or 2 spots if Dom Young is as good as everyone believes. we lose kids from centre, fullback and wing by signing young (sorry about the pun) wingers. My question is real unless no one believes the kids are good enough. Nofo already has a wing locked up.

Clubs will come knocking as they do for the panthers kids. If they dont we have the wrong kids, if they do we need to sign the right ones. Life of a club that signed many kids.

I ask a real question and your response is they should stay "because"? Other clubs will show them a first grade spot like we did for Staine, Laurie, Blore... the list is long. You are in a dream world if you believe they will all stay

I saw plenty of Garry Jack. I can honestly say that when the opposition made a break, I was always confident that he could stop them as the last line of defence. His defensive game was second to none and he was great under the high ball too. Had speed off the mark and could hit a hole.

Great all round player.
