Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[supercoach]

The problem we have is 75% of our roster is made up of depth players. Players who should be playing about 4 top grade games a year covering injuries and suspensions.

They are also hard to move on because there is little demand for them. So roster spots become a big problem. Hence why we maybe forced to let players like Blore and Seyfarth go, because they are the only players we have that have some interest in the market place

Gamble is another one we could have kept and developed instead of throwing all our eggs in the Brooks basket

Let it go man, they weren’t even competing for the same position.

Seyfarth is a good worker, but also a plodder...hardly bends the line.. We can do better

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Seyfarth offers ball playing, a high work rate and the ability to play long minutes. He would be a good buy for most clubs looking for a good forward. He would be a better retention for WTs

Under Sheens/Furner/Marshall he and Twal developed into solid forwards, now they can make a significant post contact meters and get impressive offloads.
This was their main issue, at the time under Maguire we had Eisenhuth, Twal and Seyfarth, all of the same type and useless in the attack - embarrassing meters run, with no offloads.
With no offloads and weak running, our attacking kicks were at best from our 40m or at the centre at the best, as the opposition learned that they will never offload, and could be handled easily even one on one!

I wish they would update the teams listing they still have Laurie Brooks talau and wakeham listed and rua and there all gone .They even still have ofagenheau and kade hill listed in the koe team it's amateur hour as usual.

Don't the NRL control all of the websites?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Soon they will have their own fat chequers. I mean fact checkers

My recruitment focus would purely be numbers below 8. The forwards are good enough, our problems lay behind them but I’m not hopeful of much quick fix improvement
Halves have an aged bandaid and a couple of players we hope turn into first grade halves, one at least may even be later than 2024
Desperately need some experience and toughness, both physical and mental, in the outside backs and can someone let Douehi know he’s a centre from now but only if he fixes his defense

He is a squad depth roster player from everything including his good games show.

We haven’t seen anything to suggest he can play long minutes at nrl level.

He is dependable a Twal clone of sorts in that way but not as effective.

Sounds like a Bulldog signing.

The issue is you are supposed to replace someone leaving the top 30 roster with someone better.
Who are we replacing him with ?

Goes ok when he is in form , 100% better than a few we have , but would need to be a real good deal for say 2 years

Raymond Mariner

Thank You Newtown. You remind me a lot of Tommy Raudonikis.

 

[The Chad]

Raymond Mariner

Raymond Fatalistic Mariner, to be exact.

He sees the bad in nautalism.

 

[hammertime]

Sefarth would be a good retention if our forwards weren't stacked well already with more coming through. We need to sign backs.
