Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tucker]

You asked - I answered.....
It's hardly insider knowledge, He was divisive with the fans in the UK as well.
it's common knowledge there.

Much like Brooks or Twal or Nofoaluma here....
Some rate them, some don't rate them....

Your generalisations are not answering anything.
Its all conjecture and rumour so far.
You stated its fact.

Thanks mate, just wanted to share the info, didn't expect all the hate.

They hate on our supporters too, so don't feel like it's just you

 

[Tucker]

the good news is, with the 2023 draw we are just 3 wins shy from having a better year than in 2022

and one loss away from a worse? lol

 

[SeanT]

Woods will work leading the younger fellows like Pole, Matamua, Webster Mansfield, Kautoga etc with Klemmer, Bateman, Ofahengaue, Papali'i', Koroisau with him.

No he won't.

He said that’s what he’s heard and doesn’t want to say his source… it’s a signings, suggestions and RUMOURS thread, so just take it as a rumour?

Don’t understand this need for people to hound everyone who posts a bit of inside info they’ve heard to publicly reveal their sources.

Ruins the forum at times.

 

[Demps]

I believe you owe me a kebab Demps you said Brooks would be gone to Newcastle 😉
Just joking mate, does show you the media literally have nfi when it comes to signings or salaries

Oh that's true... 😂😂

Facts however I would add... Brooks was all but gone.. till he wasn't... now Hastings gone.

Things can happen quick and unexpectedly.

it does seem to move pretty quick for sure mate

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Does anyone think we would be a shot at getting Stephen Crichton for fullback in 2024 ?

 

[Tucker]

No he won't.

100% he wont.
He will linger 6 meters behind the play, forcing these guys to share his workload, before jogging off and having a big gulp of water

 

[851]

So why would they target Hastings?
Doesn't add up

Maybe they want a Hastings Brooks halves combo

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Would Newcastle make a play for douhie and have Hastings and douhie as the halves in 2024that would keep ponga at fullback ?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Not before the dogs - But Kiraz might make some moving there himself....
But he's an athlete, And would offer us plenty.

I might be crazy, But I'd still think we should be trying for Teddy....
Roosters have a problem to solve in the next 18-24 months, And might entertain an early jump.

agree Roosters have a log jam with suali and Manu to fit in, maybe it is possible

 

[KingRobbie]

I keep hearing Dogs have got him.

A free Kebab is a free kebab demps.....
#facts

Tastes better when it's free.

I don't hate Brooks, I just think it's way past time he and the club went their seperate ways, it would benefit both parties having a clean break. There is something there in Brooks, but for whatever reason it has never developed here, I wish him well, but feel it best he leaves and maybe kicks on somewhere else

I think that Brooks is too slow between the ears.
Just my personal opinion.
He’s very quick, really good defender and tough.

 

[Demps]

I keep hearing Dogs have got him.

That seems to be the oil.

 

[happy_tiger]

So who should we replace these 4 men with?

All off contract in 2024

Matt Burton
Dylan Browne
Sam Walker
Kurt Falls

I could live with even 2 of those 4 ....I could add Mitch Moses but I can't see that happening from either side of the fence ....I am a realist

 

[Magpies1969]

Sheens building an impressive pack. Packs lay the platform to win games.
I liked the look of Volderman who was at Easts now at Warriors. He seemed a lively half back with all the skills. Played against WT in a pre season trial and was impressive.
Good luck to AD and Brooks as WT halves in 2023.
Will Staines come in for Ken on the wing?

 

[earl]

Then get rid of recruitment and the 4 halves in question .....I'm even happier with that ......but the infighting on here is wasted ......if you want to win a premiership do you line up with any of the 4 mentioned ...not a chance in hell ......we need to stop aiming for the scraps of the top sides tables and start looking at this comp as something we need to win

Stumbling into 8th in 5 years time and then getting belted week 1 doesn't appease me ......I want to be a constant contender ...and these pretenders aren't going to make us year in year out contenders

I agree with you but the only way this will happen is if we develop those players and I don't think we have them coming through. The good thing is that atm if we lose players it's not a big issue.

No. You are so off base its laughable.
What ruins a forum like this is people claiming to have some inside info that is merely opinion.
I never asked for sources.
I never tried to out the poster to draw possible punishment.
He stated its FACT not RUMOUR.
Put up or shut up is always the best policy.
