Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

None of us really know the details but from reading the tea leaves there was no need to swap anyone to get Klemmer. They Knights wanted him gone probably because they had too much money tied up in middle forwards.

We could have just let Brooks go and paid a premium but we had already backended his contract so we are paying that now anyway.

The reality is the club saw Brooks as being a better option than Hastings. So far that looks like a poor decision.

Let's see what happens over the course of the season.

Brooks won’t get better man. The club made a mistake in letting Hastings go. He’s not the greatest half to play, but he can do his job. He wouldn’t have got the club he’s playing for to a GF, but he would’ve made them threatening. Something Brooks can’t do.

Dude...the knights won't play finals this year either. Hastings might be better than brooks but he is not good enough a nrl level either...

They may not play finals, but he’s at least doing his job for them. What’s Brooks doing?

Gutho won’t leave eels , they want a fullback and he will move to wing or centre I think

Centre most likely. Unless the cap squeeze has to force him out.

He’s delusional if he thinks players want to come here.

Held accountable? in what way? the only time I have seen Pascoe be held accountable was when he screwed up the cap and the NRL punted him, not wests. That email is a template he has saved and will be sending out 100's over the next few months.

 

[Glenji95]

What’s Pascoe’s email? Would like to send him one to see if he’ll respond to me.

Give him more $ & the promise his favoured position is his. We need this guy!

Ethan Sanders is at least two seasons away from first grade, and has a massive question mark over him. We need a proven halfback like what the cowboys did with Townsend.

Sanders is not the answer fo our 2023-2024 seasons. But a player a year or two older might do the trick.

We don't need an experienced halfback (would be great but there are barely a dozen in the nrl right now). A youngster full of skills and the confidence to have a crack is much better than two losers who are incapable of even getting the basics right.

Been told this morning that part of Moses' requests from the Eels was that they do there best to replace Gutho at 1.

I’d honestly try and get George Williams. Long shot I know but he would be good I reckon.

Gutho for Noffa and Laurie and well throw in $100 k if it’s this year

I’d do it. But I don’t think Eels are stupid enough to take it.

He did personally respond, or someone did. This is what i wrote

Get in him in fullback now got nothing to loose.

Heighington mentioned he has an injury tho.

Needs to start on the wing - too big an ask to throw him in to FB role - I would seriously look at giving Tupou a go at FB and moving AD to the centres

Tupou too quiet apparently to play Fullback. But at this point I’d try anything to get that first win.

Knights won a game

Curious on the back of that logic

Gamble has won them the 2 games do we want him back as well?

Billy Walters is killing it at the Broncos who have won 4 games do we want him back?

Mbye has been apart of winning a game do we want him back?
