Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Speaking with a roosters friend who is in the know Joseph Suaalii is all but out the door this year uncle Nick wants him gone ASAP so maybe a few weeks left but the other bit of information I have is that Brandon Smith is off side with the whole Rooster's squad and he has a few weeks to fix everything he has done off field wrong or bye bye they want to bash the you know what out of him for what he has done to other players in the squad they are refusing to play with him

He has been a very naught boy

this sounds a lot like that fake whatsapp message that’s been going around

I heard he has issues with gambling and the Columbian marching powder, has borrowed money from a fre players and owes quite a bit. Not sure how much truth there is to it, but that it what I have heard.

It sounds like your mate has just repeated almost word for word what was written in that WhatsApp message that went around last week.

I can see Brooks being a gin drinker.

If he does he has good taste.

Yes mate it's very similar I saw him today he told me a few of the players he has borrowed off and a few of the amounts so sad he was doing the same thing in Melbourne but the players wised up to it

Also the Melbourne party boy who the Tigers chased hard has the same problems

It makes you wonder why they signed him up

What has he done. Sorry I'm not up with the media.

I hope he sorts out his issues, addiction can lead you to a really dark place. There is no excuse for how he has treated his mates but addiction is not rational. It's better learning from your mistakes earlier in life otherwise you will never learn.

If he was a used car I’d be going to ACA.

Why they signed him to play hooker when he's a 60min player at best.

No way he's a top 4 hooker.. Roosters usually don't get it wrong but lately they make the Tigers look like the All Blacks.

Which one are you?

More importantly, which one are you?

I'm really perplexed as to where this Metcalf talk comes from....
Reaching at it's best!!

The kid can play, But any calls for him are based off less than a dozen games in the NRL - total!!
And like, 2 games in the last 18 months....
He might replace a Wakeman type,
But he's not getting a gig as a starting (certainly senior) half at any club in the immediate future.

Te Maire would be the best bet - He's got that class about him.....
But even he struggles to stay on the park (We already have AD for that)

Look, TMM would have been a good recruit, 5 years ago. He was a Tigers Junior we punted and I don't see that experience or lift in bringing him back.

If he came back on massive Unders, sure. Brisbane is doing much better without him and we don't need him.

It's sad, but I guess the temptations that go hand in hand with fame and fortune always claims a few scalps

I thought so thanks for that mate appreciate it

Nacho hoe no mo

 

[stevied]

Can someone please tell me about the attributes/ playing style of Ronald Volkman as I've never actually seen him play.
Secondly, I really like the idea of Te Maire Martin returning. I think he's the ideal creative, steadying player we need in the halves.

 

[Goldust]

I’ve stupidly convinced myself that we don’t need to recruit anyone if we can perform like we did against the cowboys.
