Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We all get suspicious of Gus when he starts to clear the decks of unwanted and under performing players, but when Shifty starts doing the same everyone’s up in arms about it.
There’s got to be a reason behind it, I suspect that it’s about creating a spot in our top 30.
We can bring up anyone from KOE if we want to now.
I said earlier in the year that I thought that Joe O would struggle to make our top17.

Yeh, if we go down three props suddenly to injury after transferring him out, then that'll suck. I like joffa. He's just being outplayed and is now, and for the next two years too, overpaid for his contribution.

But I guess that's the (albeit small) risk you take with any player movement discussion and if there's a position that we can fill best in that situation across our squad, it's probably prop.

Stef, Klemmer, papali'i, Blore, twal, pole, seyfarth can all play in the middle if needs be, not to mention possible reserves options. But you don't make these kinds of decisions based upon possible catastrophic injury tolls in the future.

You keep banging on about him being a prop.
All of his best footy last year was played at 13.
We are weak in this position.
 
Scott Fulton would have a plan
we sign Koula for 2025 season and start agitating for a release for 2024
Manly let Koula go a year early if we take Schuster

We then have a 6 in Schuster for 2023 to partner brooks.
2024 we go for Johnson to partner Schuster and if he doesn't sign you can still sign Brooks as the 7 if you need to

I agree I reckon he will be the marquee signing the Dolphins have been trying to sign for ages

We are the last club he would consider imo.
It’s no fun experiencing the team’s morale anchored to a low point, by a board continually fighting over positional authority and undermining the coach.
Hunt deserves a lot of credit the way he rose above the internal politics and continually inspired the team.

same reason Brooks salary is 1 million dollars... lol media.
rough figures of course but that is what media are saying 650k 2024 and 2025.
As an example we are paying Papali 650k a season, Papali is lengths a better player than Joffa

How do you know this?

He pops up in the middle on both sides of the
ball a lot too. I don't think it's a bad idea Jedi.
Adds another dimension to our poor attack also

Or we could have used the guy who was one of the NRLs best players last year. Might have been worth a shot before trading him off.
 
For that $ for the next 2 years, good riddance.
Wasn't long ago he was plodding, only looked
good last year playing with a bunch of rookies
and Musgrove with Twal & Utoikamanu out and
not having Klemmer in the team at that point.
He's secured the bag too, I'm not upset by this
