Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Wiz]

If Stef leaves Pole will be in such a strong negotiating position if we want him to stay (which we will). We will get reamed with the threat of Pole testing the market come 1 November.

Why , they are 1-2 years away from been 1st grade players , we needed those spots for some mongrel forwards , thus club just never seems to get it right , no wonder we are at the bottom

Both are small

Kit & Luke upgraded to Top 30

Not Kit just Luke

Not Kit just Luke

Luke's good.
Happy with that...

Hopefully Pole extension up next.

Not Kit just Luke

Kit was already top 30 wasn’t he?

I believe there both were in the top 30 for 25/26 anyway. So just added the last 8 rounds

Just wanted to see a few opinions. What’s your 1-5 look like for next year? All fully fit.

I get it. And I dont. Are footballers that dumb?

Next time you see one, talk to them about anything other than football.

Yes, but hoping Lobb keeps improving and takes one wing.

Hopefully at least one of our wingers finishes the year off strongly and puts their hand up to play firsts next year. Most disappointing aspect of our season for mine.

I've been critical of Charlie Staines most weeks, but I have to admit, he is playing pretty well this season. If he is the #2 winger, he's a decent option.

Turuva is the new winger next season. The re-emergence of Doueihi pretty much seals that for mine.

You are entitled to your opinion. I’d rather not start another season with the worst outside backs in the comp.

Staines needs to bulk up and AD, I don’t think he knows what he is.

Our outside backs are better with better organisation & movement.

What I'm really looking for is better early sets from our wingers (enter Turuva & more from Doueihi). If we can get some momentum generated from the back 5 prior to our forwards getting slugged in the middle, we are in a better position.

Turuva's 150-160m per game are exactly what we miss.

Sign the man up! Rather let UTE of LDV reliability fame go then big Pole.

Time for a return to the Orange?

Gordon Tallis reckons it should be Magpie jerseys at Campbo, Balmain jerseys at Leichhardt and Wests Tigers jerseys at away games.
I can run with that, particularly if we stop playing at Leichhardt.

He's saying the same things Stef said earlier this year.
