Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I know who needs Spec Savers.
It was clear tonight that a part time NRL player such as Tom Eisenhuth ran the ball and tackled like he was going to battle with a machine gun, John Bateman in comparison had an impact like he was going to battle with a water pistol.
I am not a sheep that just follows what others think.

So you used one game from the season to make the claim that Bateman is overrated whilst ignoring the other 10 or so games where he has been one of our best. You also claimed he had only ran for over 100m once (which is lie btw) and yet he averages over 110m per game. Not to mention he’s one of our best defenders but please, keep talking out your ass while supporting nuffies like Seyfarth and Brooks
So instead you’re just a fool who blatantly ignores reality? Got it.

I agree but I feel like injuries are playing a factor, our team as a whole next year looks like this:

1. Jahreem Bula
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Stafford To’a
4. Adam Doeuihi (personal opinion)
5. Junior Tupou
6.
7.
8. Stefano Utoikmano
9. Api Korisau
10. David Klemmer
11. Isaiah Papalili
12. Shawn Blore
13. John Bateman

14. TDS
15. Alex Twal
16. Justin Matamua
17. Fonua Pole

Depth: Charlie Staines, Asu, Naden, Feledy, Atasi James, Rua, Simpkins, Christian Ma’anaimo (recall him having big wraps) and Saukuru


Our squad looks good, but there’s a reason I left out the 6 and 7 they’re the make or break for our club to do something productive and make a statement

I doubt if AD will be in the side as he would be very tentative i would think after his 3rd ACL on the one knee and will probably miss at least the first half of the season
 
I think we have to face facts
We are struggling to put an NRL level quality team on the park atm
Looking at what we have who are Quality 1st grade footballers
Bula , Noffa , Toa ( not at 6 ) Tupou ( needs a class left center inside him)
Pole ,Klemm, Steph ,Paps , Bateman ,Twal , and of course Api
Naden is a big maybe and can't count Brooks ( he doesn't even want to be there) Da Silva maybe one day
Douehi won't be back even next year ( Sheens hinted at that at Presser)
Weve got about a dozen quality 1st graders and we need at least 18
In the meantime give Daino another go as for all his faults he does have instincts
We either need to do some serious recruiting or sit back enjoy a Dynasty of Spoons . Our Pathways are not going to solve this !

Hunt lives in the shire… I’d give him $1.25 mil over 3 years if that’s what will get him done

We’re legitimately one position away from being something and he’s everything we need

We need the Scotty Prince replacement.
Even though last night was disappointing in some respects we turned up with good attitude. ATM a lack of halves and execution are our enemies.

Sheens mentioning in the press conference today we’re looking at some super league halves

Could he be referring to Welsby or Dodd?

Didn’t Dodd just sign with some NRL leading agent

Which means they let Jofa go without a contingency to fill that Roster Spot. The negligence by Management to give Members and Fans a side that can challenge to get to 8th place is disgusting. Constantly playing under the Cap destines you to the Spoon.
We will never succeed while Lee,Pascoe and this Board remain. In the sporting landscape, they're losers.

Lee, Pascoe and SHEENS (as he has scuttled two seasons releasing players and under the cap, in the hope of future opportunities)

We need to buy A 7. And use Brooks as 6 And also aback up like Watson and piss Wakeman off , Also a centre
Toa on side new guys the other or Bring Reilly in now and give him a go season is shot , also Give James a crack off the bench , piss Sayfarts off and keep Blore

Still miles better than Brooks as a half.

Wait, back up.
This is the same argument with Hastings. ..
34 year old Hunt, yes better then Brooks.
Do we offer him 1 mil a year for 2 years to come here?
Considering the Dragons were ready to punt him at 700k?

The Dragons are where we are, yes Hunt is bringing the goods but WT, please. STOP TRYING TO DRAG PLAYERS HERE. Moses, offered overs. Johnson, we tried pulling him out of NZ, Hunt, wants to go to QLD.
STOP.

Hastings was a decent signing at 500-600k. If no top shelf halfbacks want to come here then lets get people who can do the job and keep signing a Monster pack. Spend the money on Frizzel or a Panther Or heck get Manu/Olam in our centers and have a backline that can defend.

Average halfbacks do well in a pack that can hold their own. See Chad Townsend.
