Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger Tail]

Uncle Nik immediately fires up the grill.

Nik texts: Hey Jack it’s me mate, come over for dinner and I’ll tell you how we’re rigging the competition to win a few premierships over the next few years and how you can be a part of the “famed tri-colours”

Jack: sounds good mate but you can’t afford me.

Nik: Under the salary cap, no you’re right we can't. Under the Sombrero though you bet we can. I’ll tell you more over a steak. See you at 6.

Nik: Do you play golf Jack?

On another matter I see Nofa injured last week and is out for a few weeks. Sounds like a very convenient injury to me, so he won’t have to front up.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Please cut brooks next year and offer Jack Wighton 3millon over 3 years to play 6 and then we need a good controlling 7 with a good kicking game….UK super league?

 

[Wests🐅]

I’m sure brooks is a nice dude and deserves better.
But…. How he has managed to stay in the starting side the entire time….is beyond me.

Perhaps he knows something he shouldn’t about the club?

Yeah agreed

end of 2024

So 2 more spoons until we offer him $2M and he laughs at us?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Purely a thought, Benji Marshall is managed by Aria so I'm sure he is talking to his manager on potential recruits from that stable ( https://www.ariamanagementgroup.com.au/ ). The one I'd be going for is Jayden Campbell.

Another thought is that Crown Sports / Mario Tartak ( https://www.crownsports.com.au/ ) has a number of our young guns in their stable, the Laulilli brothers & Tallyn Da Silva, so I'm sure Benji is trying to maintain a very good relationship there. Talatau Amone is one (police record aside) I'd be discussing as a fresh start.

Both under contract but we have some bargaining chips (Doeuihi, Twal etc).

 

[Demps]

mate I get your opinion, just saying what I am hearing re Brooks that's all
As for wighton that is more hopeful than anything else

Club will be a laughing stock if they do that.

Will be an embarrassment.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

On present form, Brooks is worth 200k a year or whatever Wakeham is receiving. If we signed an organising half of George Williams' calibre or better, you would consider retaining Brooks on a bargain deal and instructing him to run like Forrest Gump, his only strength. But Doueihi could also play the role of running 6 and he has slightly more bows to his game than Brooks. But they're both limited.

We are already an embarrassment unfortunately

 

[Demps]

And so it'll continue.

Establish a half decent pack and persist with a proven failure that cannot deliver.

Dark Times.
Fans will walk away by the 1000s.

Our supporters deserve a lot better from Brooks as well.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Brooks is like a gambling addiction ..
The club thinks the next spin will be a jackpot so keep putting the money in when we all know it won't happen..

The club needs to learn how to take your loses and move on or others get brought into the dramas and get hurt.

And there comes a point where you must change machines !

I know mate we are flogging a dead horse

If true they say that Dodd from st Helen’s is looking to come down under , we need to throw some of that money we were going to throw at Moses , towards him , even if we got to give him $900,000 to $1,000,000 per season, give him 4 years and a year in the club’s favour, this should be down ASAP like a week ago

Aaron Woods signs with Manly OFFICIAL.

He once told me that he could never play for Manly. Just saying.

 

[supercoach]

Simple Jack Whighton in Sydney,you would need ten minders to keep him out of trouble. Soon as he hits the turps, he starts throwing punches at who ever is near him. Also good hard footballer but zero organisation skills

 

[Feline Carrier]

Anyone thinking we are a realistic chance of George Williams is dreaming.

Sheens will have a TIA during negotiations and we'll wind up signing Sam Williams.

Hey mate don't go against the herd mentality

 

[Feline Carrier]

Hey mate don't go against the herd mentality

Why would he come under fire for that? There's nothing wrong with what he said. Wighton is demonstrably a mental and would have issues up here.

It's not as though he's backing a 200 game, 10 season halfback in the worst form of his well below average career. That's demonstrably mental as well... 👀

Wait, are you Jack Wighton?!
