Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Got to say i know we are saddled with Nofo contract for apparently another 2 seasons but if he continues to provide less than stellar performance this season to shop him around and take the $$$ hit. I'd rather gave a fully effective winger on the roster than someone who just hasn't been able to get the errors out his game. Give up on him and give a newbie a chance. Whilst we are in a financially healthy position, that surely is the time to get rid of under performers.

Lol

Benji looked nervous as hell in my opinion

Didn’t speak any where near as confident as I thought he would

Asked the media to go east on him, mouth twitched, had a nervous smile etc

If that’s what players are getting in the sheds they I can see why we suck

He wasn’t the calm, strong, voice he was on NRL360.

Maybe first interview nerves but still very nervous

Whilst you’re correct on all points I’ll put it down to first time nerves. As I previously said it will be interesting to see how many of these interviews he does from now on.

Do you reckon that impacts Sullivan in anyway, or is it purely adding the depth we were desperately lacking this year. They mentioned on 360 Sullivan having a look at the knights is an option if they don't get Cogger.

Has 0 impact at all, Sullivan is being looked at for top 30. If someone agrees to a train and trial they normally don't really have another option elsewhere.

Coaching Insider , Benji
thought he spoke well and controlled his interview well , I like him shut down the reporters when they ask about Sullivan , said he will not discuss recruitment until a deal is done , very direct , very well done , he is ready to stand up to these knobs who report shit everyday about our club , I say let Benji loose

The reporters were holding his hands through it though, didn't ask any real questions like if there's any truth to the rumours you and Fulton are struggling to work togeather.

Maybe they were told beforehand he would not address these rumours. I also think Benji is generally well regarded by the media.
 
What is the latest information on Charlie Staines. Re Signed are off to the Eels.

Will Jake Simpkin be let go after this season.

WT really need quality Centres, 5/8 and Half back from 2024 to get out of this hole.

I think landing Sezar, Latu and Sullivan has us covered for the halves.

But 100% we need to upgrade the outside backs.
Keen to see how Toopz handles centre tonight.
 
I'd like to think that we can offer to cover more/all of Sullivan's contract, compared to Newcastle. We should also offer a clearer path to first grade. If you were Sullivan you'd have to fancy your chances of starting, surely? If we get Sullivan as well as Sezer and Fainu comes on quicker than expected, even playing just a few cameos, I think I'll throw a cheeky fiver on us making the 8......I'll be doing that anyway 🙂

Simpkins is being heavily shopped around - club is trying to get a trade deal done however it’s looking like it might just be a straight up release.
