Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

I do think Sheens/Benji will go all out to sign Pearce as that experienced half for one season for his experience & leadership to a young backline. If Pearce declines, then Townsend or Sezer to fit that profile.

This person will also be part of the sell for a young half to join for a season as 5/8 or as a lower grade halfback then to take over as half in '25.

I think the target list could be (in order):

Priority 1 - 1 of Ronald Volkman, Jayden Sullivan or Lewis Dodd (if we can somehow jag them from their contracts)
Priority 2 - Ethan Sanders or similar gun Jersey Flegg halfback

If we go down the path of Priority 2, then we look to a 'culture' player as 5/8 in '24 and beyond - Connor Tracey or Blake Taafe type.

That'd be alright hey

7 Pearce / Sezar
6 Volk / Sulla / Metcalf / Tracey / Taaf

Farewell Brooks
Would be a perfect outcome

They're calling the kid the next Cameron Smith...

He's been ordinary from what I've seen.

Yeah nothing flash so far in Qcup from what ive seen , bit suprised really from the hype thats been around him coming through

Sadly we desperately need a no7 who has at least 150 games under his belt at NRL level who is a dominant playmaker with a great kicking game. At present that sort of player is not even on the horizon. The talk of all these other sevens like Volkman, Taffle and Hawkins will struggle big time trying to organise our mob.

Wasn’t Sharon the captain too?

Actually, to match Sharon's act of treachery, Api would have to secretly negotiate with a club to take himself, Bula and Junior Tupou as a package deal.

If wighton goes to souths and Campbell graham is subsequently on the outer, we 100% need to be going after him very very hard… not that we have much chance.

 

[Demps]

Wighton, news breaking at half time?

Old news , but just watching the roooters playing , can not believe that they are under the cap , it just makes u wonder why the NRL let this happen , and to think they got the panthers forward the knights winger and a pommy winger joining the club , and they will let 2 under twenty players leave to justify there signings , makes me sick

Have a close look at souths, starting to look the same as East these days, and add another $900.000 for Wighton.

Is that confirmed

Is that confirmed

They said confirmed in coming days

The sooner we ship Noffa off, the sooner we will have more coin left and a spot in top 30 to make a play for the next bloke.
I don’t care if will smith gets an upgrade so we can play Brooks in Reggie’s.
Right now our real issue is no controlling half and no back up to try.

Tass is not a difference maker. Solid but not worth investing big money in. Prefer Graham but there's no way we get him. The priority must be a half decent, organising half.

More likely the other centre that will go.

 

[weststigerman]

The team with Latrell and Walker sign an origin and international player in their back line. Meanwhile at WT, our best back Is either Naden or Tupou.

Not hard to see why the comp is so uneven.

 

[boonboon]

Braydon Trindall or Jayden Sullivan or St a stretch Jake Arthurc

You'd think benji is sniffing around southa players who want a pay day.

I think players wanting to play for Benji is a myth.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

I don’t get this club. We don’t have any halves in the club worth a top 30 spot next year. Why don’t we have a couple of young halves signed up on potential, than hopefully jag a decent 7 latter this year for next year.

We're also $1m under the Cap for 2023, 2023 is another year forfeited by WT. You can thank Sheenile,Fiasco and Gadget for this shit show.
