Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

For me on the offa situation, I’m beginning to really trust the process we are going through. Maybe sheens benj and Robbie see something in a younger kid than what we do. Wasn’t long ago people were adamant jahream wasn’t ready and we would be dumb to throw him in now and look how that turned out junior was the same. Some players step up when thrown in the deep end others don’t maybe they see James or someone else as ready to fill that hole that offa will leave

I don't like the idea of us strengthening another teams roster. Joffa was one of our best players last year and still is only 27 years of age, entering his prime years. Parra obviously see something in him and I think we are stupid for letting him go.

Does anyone think we can win the comp if we play like that? That last try especially through the middle was shades of smith, Cronk and Slater.

We have a spine!

Or Benji Robbie Timmy

What’s this all about?

@WesternSuburbsBoy said the story

The reason we got Bula is cos his mate, lower grader Trey Peni brought him along....

Wonder if the lads know any other good players around they can bring on board?

Gold Coast saw something in Maumalo but he hasn’t been out of reggies.

Why would we release Joffa immediately to sign Frizell for 2024?

Obviously there's issues there, he's talented but he clearly doesnt give a stuff. Whether or not he's kicking stones ala Moses and Matterson who knows. Sometimes a change of club does wonders for a player i dunno if we are that club though.

It’s an interesting time for the club. We’ve played some very good footy over the last month. We have roster spots and salary cap. Where are we looking to upgrade? It may well be we have most of the players we need in our best 17 and in the juniors coming through. In the starting 17 I believe left centre could be strengthened (Naden, Talau, AJ, Feledy coming through). I’d also like an impact prop off the bench (Spencer Leniu like). Possibly an upgrade in the halves as well. Judging from reserve grade, roster spots 18 to 30 need to be strengthened but I wonder if it’s just a matter of the juniors progressing over the next 12 to 24 months.

Also reckon Seibold is another Trent Barrett. Great assistant but way out of his depth as a head coach.

Was a misread in D but has 2 try assists 😆

Watching the first 25mins of his game today 100% his defence and attitude to it need improvement. He did demonstrate his talent at ball playing in the red zone with their 2 tries though.

Yeah could well be just like Sheens and co moved on a lot of the Madge buys, this could be similar. Not the type of player they want but need to be seen as using him cause he's on 800k bit of the Brooks syndrome.

I get it but watch Manly’s 2nd try. I guess the question is if you had to pick defense or attack on your half’s and could only have one or the other what would you pick

Now 3 try assists in the red zone. Not bad

Just read on google that frizzle has just brought a house next to Newcastles stadium, I think that says he ain’t coming to Sydney, so why the hell we moving joffa on 🙄🤔💩

the supposed 600k can be better spent in other positions is probably why joffa is being moved on.

I think this is definitely the case.

We would be nuts not to go after Schuster if it was an option. Put Bateman beside him and 100% his defensive work rate improves and he would solve a massive weakness for us in attack.
