Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not looking good in the Hunter thats
for sure. Lackluster recruitment for '23
I don't think O'Brien lasts the spell tbh.
At risk of losing Dom Young too I think

agree I think he will be punted before end of 2023

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

There's no Henny Penny in New Lambton

He was spotted at Henny Penny Adamstown though.

damn that was it, with the removalist truck trailing behind apparently

This would be like a great early Christmas present to sign Klemmer and Bateman and the icing on the cake Brooks leaving.

Remember it is the duds we reject or move on that makes WT a better club.

Papalii

Koroisua

Staines

Klemmer

Bateman

You have to say Blore and Utoikamanu feel like new signings given they missed a lot or most of 2022 season.

A big offseason and our pack looks much better for 2023.

With these signings and Pole developing could Twal miss out in the top 17? Good honest player but needs to break the line and gain a passing game. It is 2022 dude.

Yeah twal will be backup. Like him but needs speed and to work on his one dimensional attack.

Need big aggressive forwards

Barry Toohey has come out and said

"Klem looking at longer term options elsewhere but Frizell not being shopped"
contradicts the Mole article this morning

Twal first bench forward picked. All teams need an Alex.

For sure bro. Super handy to tighten
Up the middle when holding onto
A slim lead, or periods before the half
And full-time when teams conceed

I’ve changed it 3 times already lol

One thing is for sure, all the options I’ve come up with are 1,000 times better than we could throw together this year.
Much happier now 👍🏼

I'm in the pro-Bateman camp.

.. I think.

[Coastie_Tiger]

why make Newcastle stronger in 2023 though.
Take klemmer leave them frizell
2024 can sort itself out

From the outside looking in seems like Brooks wants out by hook or by crook, I would take Frizell if we didnt get Bateman which seems as though we are so Frizell stays i guess.
Im guessing we only go for Brown if Brooks goes also which Brown would play lock and Hastings to 7. Lots to play out in the next 7-10 😉

Barry toohey just reported frizell not being shopped

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Anyone able to confirm, Hastings and Douhie previously had the same manager ? I think this is correct and now douhie is going it alone
Is Hastings closer to a deal than Douhie perhaps

Think both were via Ultra Management Sports which is Sam Ayoub management company

Edit - just checked and also have same manager as Farah but also Nofa, Gildart, Tamou.
