Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Was a big fan of Sezer before he left to the uk, apparently his form has dipped but the same was with batemen and he’s been fine.

I think sezer is an avg half at this point in his career but he’s always been able to create and get the ball where it needs to be. Great passing game and his underrated asset is his left boot.

Sezer will be a good replacement for brooks in the short term and will be a stop gap for our left half.

Fainu should be the 6 on the right but it looks like that deal is very messy atm, I have faith in benji pulling it through tho.

Wakeham should be retained with sanders coming in also to partner him in cup and be ready to overtake sezer within the next two years.

Out of all the backline players on the market Tass would be my pick for left centre with stains being retained on right wing. We’ve missed stains badly and he’ll be like a new signing for us. Our poor year may stop him from staying on however.

Sezer 7 Taafe 6 And I would also chase Croft , Pass on the Brothers From manly. , :a ly letting them go speaks volumes
 
I think we are now at the point that we will take anyone who says yes
Munster ,Moses , Pearce ,Johnson , Brooks , Croft ,and now Sezer
We are working our way down the list of whos available
Don't see anything strategic in it ! Just what you can get .
But please The CEO ,The Recruitment manager and The Coach must be in agreement
 
Look, is Hastings a limited heavy half yes, could we have used him this year yes! Brooks did a lot of kicking towards the end of last year as Hastings had a foot issue. I hate him as much as the next guy but let’s not be silly here.

Regarding taafe hes incredibly similar to Laurie in terms of ability. We need better than the likes of Laurie/taafe/croft aka brooks 2.0 as our starting halves next year, otherwise it’ll be much the same as the past few years.

The winger Kirk and centre Feledy have scored many tries on the left in Flegg. Feledy has the hands of a good centre, being able to put his fast winger into space. It's reflected in their try tally. It is a skill lacking in Talau's game despite being a former Aust Schools 5/8.

That also shows:
The difference between first grade and Flegg
AND
sides that defend may not leave the space to put the ball through.

However you are right Talau isn't cutting it in our side.
 
There was talk of Billy Smith earlier this year .anyone know what happened. Would b a handy pick up for a centre

We have two sides to this:
1. we have Brooks and Doueihi injured. If the Storm had Munster and Hugues injured they would struggle to make the 8, if Manly had DCE and turbo out they would contest us for the spoon. We have two halves injured and that means we suck a lemon.

2. Our planning for those halves SUCKS! Brooks has basically walked out on us because we did not have the Kahuna's to move him on. Doueihi isn't a 5/8 and hasn't settled into a position.

It's so bad people are mentioning sezer like that's a solution to Anything. It's not.
