Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What a strange thing to say.

I'm sorry I thought directing the attack was the primary role of a halfback... Unless the role of a halfback has changed after 125 years?

The same way they sat back when Tedesco was off contract and signed with the Raiders. Word at the time was uncle Nick wanted to wait one more contract.

They sign young players - Don't get me wrong...
But they're very measured on it.
All the hype on Galvin, He'll cost them and he's unproven...
They're smarter than that.

For someone who derides and chides others for wild speculation you don't mind dabbling in it yourself...

 

[crazycat]

Wow two players over 70 years?

Zac Cini, Reece Hoffman, Oliver Clarke, JJ Felise, Jack Littlejohn, Jordan Rankin, Nathan Milone, Deloiuse Hoeter, Brenden Santi, Asipeli Fine, Jy Hitchcox, Joel Luaini....etc etc etc wave back.

man it's like a wall of shame.

Roosters aren't chasing Galvin yet...
They'll wait until he's proven.

They've also got Walker they might not be fully sold on yet...
They're not looking to have 2 kids with not enough miles on them...
That's not how they role.

Sandon Smith is the other one they will give a go in the halves, but with Manu potentially leaving there are certainly some holes in that back line after this season.
Teddy and Tupou are both a year older, Sualii goes to union, plus Manu, they will be looking for established outside backs. They are stacked in the backrow for the next few years, I don't think Galvin is really what they need.

You consider that wild speculation?

No different to any of the other nonsense that gets peddled that you thumb your nose at.

It was common knowledge at the time. Was talked about at length on here. There was even a thread about it

And rumours, fringe opinions and general shit talk aren't regularly spoken of here? It's no different to any other nonsense on here.

We have three years to work out if he has the goods or not , by the middle of 2025 we will know I guess then we can give him a long contract, so don’t sweat give people

 

[Kaito]

But we're still no good and won't score enough points
- But it was all the halfbacks fault...

Just wait & see buddy haha. You'll rue this comment

Injury hit him pretty bad.
11 games in 2022 and only 6 in 2023.
In 2021 we only won 8 games yet he was among the leading point scorers in the comp.
Worth taking a chance on at a reduced contract... if he goes down injured again he'll be medically retired.

Yes, a modest contract would be beneficial to
both parties, he is valuable despite what most
pundits on here seem to think. His 2 recos have
been with us, we could retire him God forbid...

He seems like a David Gower/Ray Cashmere kind of guy. Tries hard, good reserve grader, probably not a regular first grader. Kind of guy that Gus gets hard thinking about...

With Richo's links with Easts Tigers in Brisbane, I wonder whether we could see a couple of their players on our radar for '25.

Looking at their roster, possibly the Storm players Joe Chan (young backrower) & Jordan Grant (to provide depth & experience at prop, NSW Cup contract only), not much else to consider.
