Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This kid is as they say these days "OG" !!. If he keeps going on the trajectory path that he is currently on, I'd say the back end of 2024 season we might see him getting a few runs in the top grade. Very talent kid, great training ethics, a speedy, creative runner with ball in hand, good distribution out of half, gusty and effective defender. Definitely a star in the making, one to hold onto, if we can hold off all the clubs from pouching him.

So he’s the original gangster?

We need @THE_POM and an update haha

Common Pom! SOS 🆘!!!

Probably nothing to update tbh

Never saw Robbie play at the same age but Da Silva is a gun.

Will definitely be the Koroisau replacement when he retires.

He’s only 17, but is already training with NRL this pre-season.

Out of curiosity Is da Silva on a train and trial contract or is he in the top 30 as a 17 year old.

I started writing a spiel and it was all dribble.

We either recruit better players or we just have the 4 of them fight it out it for the 3 positions. Maybe you can try Doueihi at lock but I don't like the idea. He isn't a ball player like Hastings was. He is a runner with poor defense.

Maybe one of them will prove they are high caliber NRL players over the course of the season but I don't have much confidence in our spine for next season.

Recruiting Moses or Welsby would mean we have 4 players into two positions and at least that way there is more competition for those key roles but I'm not sure there is a huge difference between them.

Yes I agree. Strong forwards are important but try scorers abound in the backs. Some improved quality in the backs is a must before the season begins.

if tigers miss out on Moses than surely they should go for burton

Zero chance Burton is leaving but in saying that throw in a huge offer and make the Bulldogs pay big to keep him.

Ok today I have a feeling we will get mosses. I’m gonna play this game each day, changing my opinion each day. We’ll see where I land!

I am sure Nick's golf game will deteriorate enough to keep him at the rorters and it probably won't improve greatly when the NRL audit them

The NRL will probably bankroll the kids contract with the Chooks and give them salary cap relief to keep him in the NRL. Of course if it was us they would do Jack all

Right from the start of the Moses thing I thought it would turn out like all the others. I am now thinking maybe this will have a happy ending. Just think Issac Moses has three contracts all tired up in this deal, MM, Brooks and Bateman. So he has a lot to gain along with the players

I hope your right but as a manager doesn't matter where they sign as he still gets the money.

Guessing nothing happens until the New Year now

Many on airport watch for the moment

He possesses a reasonable amount of negotiating power with those three that could well derail all of those signings.

But if you can have them all coming off contract the same time you can get them and the player more money

Look what happened with Tedesco ....Brooks ...Woods ....Moses

I guess why would you sign batman and pay for him to go on holidays

Sheens must have lost at Golf in England in that case ......might have the integrity unit looking into your scenario .......

Why not just sign him after his holiday.

I sometimes think these prima donnas called footballers love the drama of dragging out a signing. Sets the social media scene alight, has media hacks second guessing each other and going for one upmanship, has fans arguing amongst themselves and with dropkicks from other forums. Who doesn't love the off season.

I doubt this very much especially something like contract negs, but I know some players love geeing up fans knowing some are starving for any sort of goss

Obviously ! 2024 is what its about, read the post again.

So first grade standard in 23 but not 24?

Your not worth the effort! the post is self exlplainitory, the fact that the club has not re-signed them, means what ? It means they are not convinced they are good enough for even the wooden spooners. That means in plain english, that they doubt they are first grade standard, and unless they perform with a better pack , they are gone.!

It’s a pretty big decision. Affects his whole family. His old man won’t be happy though if Mitch signs with 🐯 or 🐶

I wonder if his father will influence his decision to sign with the eels like in 2017…
