Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Playing in such a high impact sport you would take a big four year deal over a big short term deal everyday of the week. A career ending injury is always a chance

My reputation will be in tatters if that’s the case 🤡

I stick by what I’ve heard

Who knows? Luai probably does I guess

Feels like the Penrith notional increase leak is pushing this to a quick conclusion so hopefully we know soon

Riccio reckons he will stay. Who knows, prob a lot to play out.

 

[tigerman 0]

yep. give the kid a break ,seems you wrote him off quick smart

You related to him?
Since he left he’s done nothing

Riccio’s ahead of me, his reputation is already in tatters 😁

Do you think that he isn't getting coached on how to play at fullback ? Do you know any quality NRL players who haven't received any coaching on how to play ? Do you think some players get good coaching and don't make it ?

I've got a lot of question marks about the coaching, our results over the last 2 seasons especially would have to have you asking questions. I am sure that some players fail to make it despite good coaching.

The club will announce the highest paid player in the NRL. The timing fits. Maybe it’s planned 🤔

Raiders sign Kaeo Weekes.

Cowboys promote 7 pathways players to top 30 but not included is Kulikefu Finefeuiaki.

Cowboys promote seven from Pathways program to NRL squad for 2024

Seven players from the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys Pathways program will graduate to the NRL squad in 2024.

He is contracted there on a Development deal for next season but I would have thought he would have been the first promoted to top 30.

Hmmmm we can only hope his management is serious about shopping him!

Do you think all clubs coaching is the same level?

I'd say no but proving that or maybe better put backing that up with some good reasons for your opinion is a different thing.

I think it's rare that players aren't performing and it's the coaches fault unless they are playing when they aren't fit but team tactics can at times make a difference. A good example is Ivan Clearly moving Crichton from the right to the left side last year to counter Reese Walsh.

A signing would be nice but I doubt it.

Smoking Gun and the POM are planning on revealing their true identities as Bryce Gibbs & Justin Pascoe respectively

I wonder where Xavier Savage will end up considering Raiders have just signed weekes, pretty much a like for like type player. Would come cheap…

I’d say Weekes will be Canberra’s starting #6 in 2024, don’t think it has too much bearing on Savage.

They have got Chevy Stewart coming through the grades at fullback though who’s very highly touted.

Not with us but @teddy23 mentioned we were monitoring his situation very closely along with a few other clubs.

"SHOOSH ... which Dolphins player wants out of the Sunshine state and has reportedly held discussions with Wests Tigers about a shock switch"

If there is any substance to this, I would think it's only likely Euan Aitken or Jack Bostock.

Aitken - as a bench utility if AJ Kepaoa departs the only way this could possibly happen.

Bostock - would be our best result if the kid has massive home sickness but we'd have to trade someone of good value I'd suspect.
