Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It feels like all the Laurie bandwagoners didn't watch him in KOE and are rewriting history.
Sheens mentioned giving him a go at 6 before he was out with injury only to return having a huge sulk session in reserves. He made himself unselectable.
When I look at his performances in NRL at 6 I see a guy who still makes careless mistakes that lead to opposition points.
That offside penalty that led to a Dolphins try was unforgiveable and he does that sort of thing regularly.

People said the same of Bula. Very average in Reggie’s and when he was announced for top grade more than a few said he’ll be a disaster. Sometimes you never know until you try them in the top grade.
Laurie has been our attack the last few weeks.
He looks like a natural running ball player and we’ll miss him.

For anyone who watched the Canberra game yesterday, Cotric looked pretty good - I know we did enquire about him but unsure how discussions progressed. He'd be an excellent signing.

Bit slow getting into gear -a bit like one of our wingers.

Question apparently, we have spoken with Jeral skelton from the Bulldogs is this correct or a false rumor ??

Signed until end of 24

Isn't he currently on about $650k and we would have to pay more to get him here, in which case I don't think he produces enough, often enough, to justify that sort of money playing on the wing.

Just my thoughts on him.

False the poster said he made it up

he's been really really good these last couple of weeks. been bending the line at will and finishing off their backline moves in the corners. I'd love him but the question remains as to whether we can get him out of Canberra and what they'd be willing to chip in.

But that's unacceptable.
FYI the players' aim for this season was a top 4 finish.

I agree. But it seems the club doesn't.

As it always should be.

Always enjoy your posts teddy but have to disagree on this one

I think we should be aiming much higher than Cotric

They obviously have a very inflated opinions of themselves.

Glass half full and all that, but geez that was optimistic.

I think as outsiders we can judge them as not having that level of talent,,,but if you are playing then you got to have belief…

Did you have the Warriors as a top 4 team at the start of the season? They were ordinary last year…

He has looked bog ordinary at the Raiders to the extent in some games has made Nofa look great.

He actually has looked over weight and sluggish most of the season the weekend gone aside.

Not at $650k p.a....I'd take him in a straight swap for Nofo

It's a pretty dud signing to me but it's for one season so I don't see any downside.

Playing with an actual halfback....
Nothing dud about it.

Great news.
