Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Val Holmes is on over 900k a season. Fair to say his next contract will be much less.

Players reach that point in their career where there game drops off. I think this is the case with Holmes and the Cowboys recognise this and want to move him on.

Im sure your imagination can do better than that.

Sign him as a winger not center that’s his position. Zero chance Cowboys won’t be tipping in for his salary as well. He hands down would instantly be our best back by a mile and would solve a major issue meter wise from the back.

If Olam could get his knee right that would be our left side sorted. If rumours are true that his knee can be fixed with surgery then he has to do it.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

What if it can be fixed but he dont want to due to cultural convictions?

Ice: second rower of the year. Klemmer: getting back to SOO form. Bula: Rookie of the year. Stef: Most promising prop in NRL. Bateman: Missing piece of the puzzle. Galvin: Potential superstar. Sezer: The half we always wanted.

All going backwards at WT.

The despised Brooks and Talau, playing finals with Manly. Reject Blore, top of the ladder.

Don't blame the roster.

This is what we have to stop. We have to know where who is responsible and remove the rot

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But aren't all 3 of them killing it. Talau, Brooks and Blore. Did I miss anyone?

Tbh I’d rather JAC for $500k for 2 years if he came available. Offers just as much as Val if not more. Then go hard for Kotoni Staggs come Nov 1.

If the Broncos shithousery continues, I can see a few of their off contract players exploring options like Staggs & Cobbo.

Love to get Staggs… the bloke always has a go.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Seyfarth has a go. Staggs is good. Very good.

With Holmes, we have to at least set up a meeting and have a conversation with him. People will complain about our roster and then when an Origin level rep player becomes available will say no thanks. Val isn't a washed up player and would be first picked in our outside backs. We have heard of this supposed "war chest" we have and we are obviously front loading some players with Bateman/Simpkin money etc to help us with the cap for '25. Richo should be picking up that phone and making a call.

I would go all in on Staggs over Cobbo based on what some suggested was the plan.

Agree. Richo has said things move and players will pop up. Someone like Val you get a call going.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Dragons are favourites

 

[Buttface]

Well.
Which is it? Spend it all or know how to spend it? You seem to be all over the shop brother.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive X.
Why not both?
Smart organisations recognise this and bring out both soft and crunchy tacos. 🌮

Just heard a rumour connecting Daniel Saifiti to WT for next year.

Yikes. We do love a non performer.

Where did you hear it?

 

[Buttface]

Why would you move Galvin from 5/8? He is playing the role perfectly, just lacking the runners outside him and people hitting holes. If we want him to leave at the end of his current contract, then push him to lock.

Bcoz there is someone better, or just as good and you need to fit them all in, or, you reckon he’ll play better in another position. Take your pick.
I reckon he is gone to the highest bidder or top four team next contract anyway, so play him where the team needs him.

Perfectly….Jesus wept.

His cultural convictions should be I will get this fixed for the Great Wests Tigers to show how honourable I am to the very favourable contract and opportunity they gave me.
His culture is Rugby League yeah?

From what I heard, the Cowboys want to keep him and are trying to gauge the market values of Holmes, so they don't give out a bad contract.

So don't get your hopes up too high.
