Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Buttface]

He's on 800k this year

How does a bloke who has consistently gotten worse at his job get more money, he’s having a laugh.
AD is my least fav player at the moment.
But then we did have that blow-up doll called Anasta.

 

[Needaname]

Don’t know if they are always a cut above talent wise as some of our young guys, just think they are given the chance and guidance to thrive more in a good/successful culture.

They recruit players that are good humans before they are good footballers. By that they recruit guys that have the attitude to put the work in and build themselves up.
Bronson Garlick an underrated example but Josh King is probably the most high profile example.

I think we need to sack Pascoe he’s had his chance and failed time after time then work towards getting benji the best assist coaches in the game next to him to help him get success in 25. Then work on getting the best halfback money can buy. Then promote bula to a top 30 spot and play him the remainder of the year to give him experience

 

[The Ladies Man]

He'll be on above 600k. I can't see any club picking him up. I can't see him making it in the NRL at this point. I was hopeful he could become a marquee 6 for us.

I honestly haven't seen a player regress so badly in his career from promising up and comer to dud player.

Wayne would take him at the Dolphins and prob turn him into a star.
Why we chop and change is beyond me. If you're in the team to play 6 and you're shit, either you go back to reserves and earn redemption or you get moved on.
We don't owe AD anything. His mum doesn't own the club. No point in being here

Noone, on fox Mal Meninga was laughing literally about how poor he was at fullback. Maybe he could get a gig in the Super League. He won't be getting 900k though 🤣

Slater, one of the smartest minds around the game today - suggested AD to lock.

Cmon now... he can't tackle, he's scared of contract (so is Laurie) he can't hang in the pack until he toughens up.

AD has proved he's a myth, I can't see a position in the team for him going forward.

When discussing Signing suggestions, its important to note that after releasing Ken, we are $1m under the Cap THIS SEASON. Awesome Recruitment team!!!
The Club has forfeited 2023 just like they did 2022.

You do realize Ken already was paid a portion of his salary right, the only reason he moved on was to free up a roster spot.

To put it in context …he said AD is not a fullback… and then got asked if he should move to a center… he didn’t want to say no.. so he said move him to lock…

I agree that would be a disaster…so would him playing center…

The only place fir him is 6 big you can’t have him and Brooks as the two halves

On another note… who is the lady in the box with the coaches at 2.07 of that Channel 9 video?

If that figure is accurate it is as bad a contract as what Packer was on

Kassidy Grant, analyst.
She helps Simon Dwyer with his role...


AD is a 6 and a 6 ONLY.
But yes, as you said.... our spine is so below standard.

Pretty sure she's an analyst

 

[Tom Shines]

Pretty sure she's an analyst

What is she analysing?

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Found our plan F...

That makes me irrationally angry.

 

[Needaname]

Realistically we are a couple of signings away from being good, look at panthers it was only a few years ago they got the spoon broncos are the same. Sheens may not be the answer now Benji and Farah, but Kevin walters is a worse coach then sheens he’s players have said so themselves. Im as over it as the next bloke/woman and I know it seems harder for us to attract players but if we can jag a half a full back and maybe a centre everything will turn around. The back up half from Penrith could be worth a shout

2007 is more than a few years ago.
Best example is probably Parramatta besides the Broncos. You need to look at what happened at Parramatta between 2015 to 2016.
They won back to back spoons in 2012 and 2013. And didn’t look out of it until 2016.

 

[izotope]

We are searching for a half for 2023 right? thats the M Pearce play?
AD probably a 14 at best at the moment.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

What is she analysing?

You, pervert.

 

[Tom Shines]

oh ok… missed that ..,thanks ..

 

[Tom Shines]

You, pervert.

I might have been doing some analysing of my own

Sheens sacked 14 Madge players and has since moved on Ken, and probably Daine and Noff. He knows it’s a weak squad. The big question now is can he overcome the fact that the club stinks in the eyes of elite players? A clean out in head office and some real footy IQ alongside Sheens would help.

Yet Brooks is still there, and still getting picked, tells me Sheens has no idea, or is too stubborn to admit he was wrong, either way he is screwing us

Out of interest, who is your spine next week?
