Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

"The Panthers took advantage of the Tigers’ hesitance as they signed Laurie back on a one-year deal."

What a joke - why is this sentence even in that article. If it was such a coup for penriff to snare a reserve grade player how come they only signe him for 1 year.

Leeds interested in Lachie Miller. Floundering in reserves at the Knights. Contracted to end of 2025 but Newcastle willing to let him go. Might present an opportunity to cover Laurie’s departure.

I’d take him in a heart beat….he is fast and smart

How funny is it watching sheens every press conference say the same things

We don’t have douehi and brooks

And the refs always are against us

And that’s the reason we are 4 points clear of winning our second wooden spoon since he came back

Lol

How about Fcking play through the middle of the ruck and leave Api on and get rid of 3 out of 4 coaches who are our “attack” coaches

Play hard and fast and simple through the middle

Can’t wait to hear the excuses when it finally dawns on him we are going to win the spoon

The old bloke thinks we’re still a chance of making the 8!!!

And thanks for letting Hastings go… as much as people are polarized by him… he is a better 7 than brooks…(who is a 6)

Now we’ll end up with a battler from England who is no better and we have wasted another season.

We should all buy wooden spoons - and drop them at Wests Ashfield next board meeting !

Likely to do with him being managed by Tartak?

Fingers crossed!!!!

Reserve grade for the Knights you say?

Must be good … get him in here

 

[jadtiger]

So the consensus is we should definitely get him and we should definitely not get him with a few sitting on the fence. Got it.

That sounds as united as our board where it's everyone for themself

Thay would put all the wooden spoons in their trophy cabinet which already has 17 from the magpies and one from the JV

Anyone got any ideas on how we can manifest Pezet to WT? Witchcraft?

Mate it's an abomination he is not playing first grade. Melbourne attack looks like crap too

Mansfield will be in the Top 30 next year unless things change.

Was a part of his Development Contract that he automatically enters the 30 in 2024.

Same situation as Lomi Saukuru heading into this season.

I hate these development contracts....you are either good enough or you are not.
To have a development contract and then top 30 spot baked in is terrible. What if that player has not progressed enough?? That said player is then taking up a spot that could be used to recruit someone else.

Train and trial contracts are even worse. Just ranting.

Terrible recruitment

Looks like he is managed by Anasta. No amount of sorcery will get him to WT.

Im gonna melt down all the crap from my membership package and forge it into a spoon

 

[weststigerman]

I think Sullivan could surprise a few if he can be injury free.

Very good attacking player and only 21. Massive improvement on Wakeham and I personally think he’ll be an improvement on Brooks.

Hell no.. he’s a poser, doesn’t like to tackle at all

When Sheens SAYS “ well Douehi is out injured and we are missing Brooksy“ and it almost makes me vomit,,, and Rage.. we were going terrible with Brooks and Douehi… we only looked good last year when Hastings was playing.. how SHeens can actually rate Brooks and Douehi as vital first graders is beyond me… has he not watched them play at all? Seriously they looked HOPELESS, ABYSMAL, when they were the halves !

 

[Buttface]

He’s played union hasn’t he?

I think it came out after this statement that it will be something like 10 or 11 players next year are moses clients (including 2nd tier players) which is high but not ridiculous, however every single member of the coaching staff is managed by Moses. It might not backfire but Brisbane found themselves in the same position a few years ago and we all saw what happened there.

Yea, the 19 was fake news. Apparently it is more balanced "according to Manly".

I got tripped up by League skuttlebut. I truly wonder how often that has caused chaos at some clubs. Clearly the Farah interview with Tallis destroyed one season for us.
