Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Buttface]

they didnt care about losing Addo-Carr either at the time

Comparing JH to an origin and international rep star?
And yes I know he played some reggie’s reps for some other country that his dad did not play for.

Madge got the big two signings.
Staines was stuck in reserve grade at Penrith and was looking for a chance, Klemmer was reportedly unhappy and wanted out of Newcastle and Bateman was looking for $$$ and has an Aussie wife.
Great to get them but we had the money … and money talks.

Here I was naively believing football matters came under the umbrella of football operations.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

are you sure on that? Klemmer Bateman and hopeful sure. Api and iPap may be bending the truth a little

I understood football matters come under the umbrella of football operations?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

yes they brought us those players - but what were the terms?

You provided facts without specifics or detail.

Would you be happy to pay $1m a year for Nathan Brown? I assume not.

So the terms of the deal are important not necessarily the signing which is what makes a good negotiator.

If we did sign Bateman for 4 yrs that’s a joke - like re-signing Naden for 3 yrs when he had no other options (same mistakes we made with Reynolds’s and Mbye for 4 yrs)… even Klemmer should’ve been a 2yr + 1yr option for the money we are paying but hey Justin, Lee and Sheens are gods.

But in the end - hope you’re right and I’m wrong.

Proof will be in the Xmas pudding next year.

The club has done well to get these players when a new team has entered the comp. Terms are confidential like any employment contract. You only need to ask yourself is the roster stronger than last season. The answer is a big yes!

I provided facts. You provided your opinion,

You distorted the facts and added them to your argument as you also named arguably the best 2 players who were signed by Madge and put them at the front of the new players for next year to make your opinions about Sheens Benji and Robbie look stronger.Merry xmas

The signings have given WT much credibility which can only benefit the club with future signings.

Full back and Centres should be the next targets. Chrighton, Fairnsworth, Ramian, Best. Landed one of them would be incredible.

So Sheens got us Gildart and Peachey?That i will believe

I don't believe Sheens would care if you attribute those players to him. The club has done extremely well to recruit the players it has to date with the possibility of more to come.

Maguire is gone and rightfully so. That is the past and it is time to move on.

Peach was Madge’s desperate rotten fruit signature. I still remember seeing the stupid grin and him trying to tell everyone what a great signing it was. I knew then Madge was not gunna gets us anyone descent.
I reckon Sheens would have had some input on Dilfart coz he was in England. Also I reckon Sheens would have had input on the others. That’s just what I reckon though.

Just remember one thing that justifies Madge getting the sack ,
1) every year our defence got worse , we conceded more points every year he was there .
2) I think i am correct our attack also got worse every year as well .
So really how could u keep a coach who can’t sure up ur defence and can’t get ur team to score .
For me his major problem was his constant one out football, one off the ruck made it very easy for the defence to close us down .

And moved them on when they didn't perform.

Those guys barely saw the year out.

Hope they learn from these mistake like signings.

Onward and upwards.

We are on a much better trajectory with our recruitment.

Without a doubt.

Best signings we've had in years.

Madge got the sack because he didn't win enough games with a dud roster. You can hold him accountable for his part, but the biggest problem for this club and the reason why we are like a revolving door for players and coaches is the lack of quality with the roster compared to other teams.
The representative season has demonstrated that for ages - we are regularly close to full strength aside from injury while other teams are testing their depth.
On paper we have recruited well with one out standing buy, but plenty also bought into the Packerlino and Reynolds turning around our fortunes too. If some are reserving judgement till they start performing it's for good reason.
