Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No point in crying over spilled milk. Any player is an improvement on Brooks because it's not Brooks! No, seriously, there must be someone we can sign who is, at least, serviceable and not an absolute liability like Brooks.

This is the part I am strongly against.

We can't go into the market thinking like that, because we'll end up back in the market after failing with whoever we take a gamble on - JUST because it's not Brooks.

'Meh, whatever, as long as it's not Brooks' is not a recruitment decision.
 
What are peoples thoughts on trying to lure Luke Metcalf back to Australia ?
I realise he has picked up a hamstring injury , but will now be stuck behind Johnson, Walker and Martin when he returns at the Warriors.
He has been behind DCE at Manly and Chad Townsend at the Sharks for a few years now, but has been pretty consistent in that time in the KOE for Newtown especially.

He'd be our best half. Beggars can't be choosers.
Many clubs have 3-4 genuine NRL half options, we don't even have one in our top 50 players. Such incredibly abysmal recruitment over past several years.

He'd be great but injury prone.

We had Jock and Jacko,2 great depth players to step up in to the NRL side when needed,BUT the NEPOTISTIC old guard thought Brooks will be our saviour after 10 dismal years...aahh well it is the WTs Sheens Benji Farah ,you know 18 years ago we won a gf....
Different game,rules and plays,but lets stick to the glory days .....absolutely pathetic from the Heads of the club down to the coaching...
I also see that the Warriors played a fantastic game against the Storm with Webster at the helm...we had him but chose Benji as an up and coming coach with NO PRIOR COACHING EXPERIENCE AT ANY LEVEL...therein lies the problem of this club....

You didn't notice my, 'No, seriously', bit? I was actually joking.

South's is the premier indigenous club.

Wighton made the logical choice.
Playing with his best mates - Cody and Latrell.

Will be the team to watch next year.
Might even be able to beat Penrith during the regular season games.

Already have.

Absolutely!
 
We say we need to look for players wanting a first grade chance...

There's a few lads in cup who are showing they're too good for it every week.

1 Connor Tracey
6 Jayden Sullivan
7 Ronald Volkman

There's your 2024 spine.
They will only get better - playing first grade.

I'm guessing you can get that spine, on overs - totalling 1.5m a year - that's less than Brooks & AD combined salaries.

Get it done, Tigers. ✔️

I'd trade Papalii for Volkman, Curran and Rocco Berry.

Lesgoo.

Yeah I don’t like this crazy idea of trading Papa, we have only just got ourselves a decent pack let’s build around it, not start to dismantle it.
What sucker is going to trade 3 players for 1 unless they are average? I’d rather keep the one good one than 3 shite ones.
And weren’t you the bloke that sold me on Adam douhie? I’m still paying for that one.
Just poking fun 🤩.
 
Flanagan is in a similar situation as Brooks. Mentally cooked.

We need new halves without mental baggage.

The only existing player I see as a potential halves option is Laurie, but only as a 6. Partly because he is casual. This rubs some people the wrong way, but he doesn't seem fazed when he makes mistakes. When this happens to Brooks and AD they go into a shell.
