Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tim Sheens]

Don't know mate, things could change but twitter saying, despite Saturday, he signs based on fulton and future signings.

Twitter?

 

[tony soprano]

You mean we will actually have future signings?

Probably not

 

[BalmainJnr]

Another one down.

He got released over the weekend, so did Manaia Cherrington, they were replaced by............

You have been banging on about lack of replacements for released players for months.

Joffa in particular, you would have mentioned in nothing short of 20 comments, all the same, along the lines of 'we let Joffa go and replaced him with ______'

Surely you know that is not the way that these things work. A new signing is not contingent on a release and a release is not contingent on a new signing. The two have nothing to do with each other.

How often does a like for like replacement happen across the league?

People have spelled out, extremely clearly, that this release wasn't designed as a replacement, it was designed as cap relief for a bench player.

Ad nauseum.

Whether or not you agree with the decision is irrelevant, it was never designed as a replacement type signing, so why do you keep mentioning the same, tired, old copy and paste?

You made your incorrect point 6 weeks ago, let it go.

Our new recruitment guru must have decided that he was not worth pursuing. Or has a better option up his sleeve ?

Or Sexton rejected our advances or wasn’t prepared to “fall from the trees”

Well done WestsTigers Management for finally getting a 7 we desperately need.
Oh Sh#t this is the Dogs who understand what they need and go get it unlike us who sleep in the offices and collect pay cheques. FFS this club is pushing fans away and don't even care

Do they cap?

Reeks of desperation

 

[watersider]

Yep, I question a lot of Gould's signings but you can see he's trying. And people listen to him.

You would hope there is a plan but it is hard to have any confidence in WT.

 

[weststigerman]

Did the Dogs just sign Toby Sexton from now ?
If so, how did we not look into this considering how terrible we are in the halves. Its like the light are on with no one inside working

Bulldogs might be struggling but at least they are trying to improve. We’re just happy to be in the NRL.

Dunno.
Apparently he is joining the dogs immediately though.
Wouldn’t have been my first (of those seemingly available) for WT, but we could use a half immediately, Fainu would be a decent start.

Or it didn’t fall out of the tree into our lap.

I wonder if we’re aiming so high that what’s left odds not appealing us. Thing is w we have zilch. Maybe Will Smith and even he’s not played grade this year. At some point you have to eat a little humble pie and get a lower ranked player in their position and bide your time until something comes on the market.

Well I kinda that Smith was brought in as a potential no 7 back up but rarely mentioned. Surely with his experience he couldn’t be that bad. Would just like to see him have a game or two to see if can add something. Couldn’t be any slower than Brandon.

Hopefully they get their shit together soon

Absolutely. Just not confident they can get it done.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

So when do we get an answer on the Manly whizz kids ? Or is that going to drag on for months as well.

Set a deadline and move on. Sick of players using us to get more $$$ else where

 

[Kelce68]

He made a very valid point around the same time we went on a month long losing streak, culminating in a loss by seventy four points. How any nuffies can think otherwise amazes me. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me when a pair of Nuffies managed to get to a point where they are running a professional football club.

No.

He has continued to argue for six weeks that Ofahengaue should've been replaced when the very goal of releasing him wasn't to find a replacement.

So it's a moot point.

Criticising the club for not achieving an outcome that they weren't trying to achieve is redundant.

And a buried issue.

Move on.
