Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

There is no way Tedesco is coming. Someone gave an update recently and said he had made it clear he was too good for the club.

I really hope we don't get Woods back.

You sure? Chooks have joey manu and suali’i to play fullback.

We should bring Paps back!

Its worked OK for nearly 20 odd years....now it needs fixing

Too much structure and telling people what to post where...seems like a bit of overkill, authority going to some heads

My god we have to wait now until ''the official'' game discussion thread is created by staff an hour before kick off....what if someone wants to start the discussion at lunchtime and we kick off at 4?

Treated like kids

Because the team announcement thread still runs right up to that point. Just like walking into game with your mates and a program stuck in you back pocket.
Have a look at last year, the team announcement thread contained banter right up to game time.
The reason we chose an hour before is because last season sometimes the thread wouldn't go up till just before the game and we'd get reminders to put it up.
Next year the team list, and live game thread will have more of an appetizer to start the thread off, comments from the WT site and other important statements.
We haven't even got that far, give it a chance.
I sure you'll be happy once we get used to it.
If people don't like it and want to go back to slap hazard stuff so be it.
It's got nothing to do with control Ink, it's all about ensuring EVERYBODY has the best game day experience they can get.
Give it ago mate.
PM me if you still have concerns, anybody in fact, I'm all ears.

He’s on more than 850k - he left in 2017 for 750k… 2 salary caps ago.
No way he’s only gone up 100k in 5 years.

No that is the number that was quoted by several media outlets during the finals, he is on $800k with a chance to rise $900K if they won the premiership, which they didn't
 
Depending on how AD or Laurie handle 5/8 and i don,t think either will be better then this years effort, who can we play? I like Smith, at least he looks like a half/5/8, but he's not in the 30. Our year i think will be better, but to me it could be so much better if we did not have a fabricated 5/8'.
I'm sure the coaches will be working their butts off, but the fact that neither player has a contract for the following year, shows they are not to confident also. This is my biggest concern for 2023.

Fair enough.

It just seems to me it's going the same way as it did when club websites went from individual to pretty much all the same controlled by the NRL.
I want individuals starting threads... Not 'staff'... But I'll.give it a go 👍

Yep I agree.
I cant think of any other situations where this happens other than the fixed area topics in main menu.
The thread is not a spontaneous thing, it happens every week during the season so it's not taking away anything from members.
Anyway see how we go. If at the end of the season it needs tweeking or even scrubbed we'll look at it. So far it's been positive feedback but that can change like sand through the hour glass 👍

You're not sure about AD or Laurie at 5/8, but someone who's played more games in reserve grade every year than he has in first grade is the answer?

He's a new cup player, if he plays more than 2 first grade games all season we're in massive trouble

hopefully, you will be correct, and to play the devil's advocate, what if Brooks is gone as well, as many on this forum want?
Do we have a plan for that scenario?

Mitchell will only sign if Brooks is here-Brooks wanting to sign with Newcastle the last 2 and for next year.Bateman jetting off and unsigned,but yes we could cruel the kids if we blink at the table with our 1/2s,,good 2 c the club wants better than what has being dished up
