Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If he signs with us for what we have offered, the only way you could consider it a successful signing is if he took us to a GF.
The pressure will be on him and the coaching staff from day one.

For that price its 5yrs of finals with at least 2 prelims & a GF included.

I’d rather give Teddy that 1.5 mil but that’s just me

Does anyone know if we have any younger halves coming through with potential?

I don’t think anyone would prefer Moses over Tedesco so I think that’s a safe bet.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Conti and Large but they are years off.

When you look at their age they are a good 4-5yrs away from cracking it let alone being top flight within the NRL. Alot can happen to kids over that time and have seen more top prospects disappear than make it. Body changes, injuries, interests, dedication, Drugs/Alcohol/party/groups, life and other players always pop up.

Logic around getting Moses would be more a go strong in Benjis early years and mentor mode if he came.

Haven't seen much nrl360 this year, but I have found Hooper speaks about WT as though he is a jilted ex 15 year old girl. Just seems to sink the boot in at every slightest opportunity.

Again, only see and read, and don't know him, but he comes across as a complete tool.

I never watch 360 anymore..Kent,Hooper and Buzz are just amateurish. They seem like they got this big ego for being on TV now and come up with dumb analysis. Rather players on there.

I am expecting Moses at the tigers next year.

Yeh, that wouldn’t surprise me, not expecting it though. I remember THE_POM posting after we had been chasing that the club were trying to get him for 23. This may have given the impression that he was penciled in for 24?
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds so that we can finally dissect and analyse it chronologically? 😜

Who was it saying Smith Shields from Canberra is good. Looking very lame.

First game back from an ACL. Ridiculously harsh

Good point. Very few star players at SG ball make it to elite level in the NRL.

We should be developing as many juniors as we can, but you don’t bank on them and let it impact your decisions on signing proven class players.

Here’s an idea when get mosses here and coach him on how to finish games and play off the back foot. It is possible for players to improve there game

At 29 all good at 750k for 5 years. At 1-4 mill you would expect that's what you are paying for wouldn't you

Yeh, although I hate saying it he would improve us and be our best half, but he is nowhere near the best. Seriously, if Joey Johns was still playing this contract is the type of deal he would get.

Could you imagine Moses and Nofo in the same team ?



"That's your fault !!"
"No, it's your fault !"

That could also be Benji and Sheens if the season doesnt go well.

It is more likely those 2 would be blaming Farah not each other,however let's hope for a good season

Brooks will be last man standing...

He would make WTs an infinitely better team. No doubt our players would also like him at WTs.

Don’t think either of them would have the you know what’s to even even confront each other, simply slip the knife into the back, or badmouth rumours to all and sundry.
Anyway, not worth worrying about at this stage, although I have been thinking if we kept JH what it would have been like with him and JB on the bench !!

I just wish that something either way was announced…..soon !

Yeah, you might be right, I am on the fence about the signing. Announcement will be held back though I expect.

Which is exactly the Roosters philosophy. Let other clubs develop the juniors and we will cherry pick them when they have proven themselves. Don’t like that philosophy as clubs have an obligation to develop the game. It works for the Roosters though, but I still don’t like it.

He broke his ankle and was told that he would never be the same again so WT let him go.

pretty simple,
Easy when you have cody Walker latrell cam Murray Cook all in the side as a 7 they give plenty of options

People talking up Ilias everywhere as
if he were the 2nd coming. He had a
very average year in '22 with weapons
all around him. One good game to start
the season. Not saying he could go
good, but one good game to start '23
means diddly squat in the RL world
