Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Kotoni Staggs high on my shopping list. We need
to sit tight. Plenty of players 2 b squeezed out soon

Now this is a possible player recruit that I can 100 percent get behind …

They have to be prepared to over spend on him like Luai…it’s the only way they can get him…

Unlike Luai,,,, he hasn’t won three premierships already though … 👎

Ciraldo saw it clear as day when choosing between the Tigers and the Dogs.

Yep
Phil Gould and his amazing book work was the clincher 😀

I see Staggs being the Broncos major signing as he is a specialist centre where the others are probably better wingers than centres. He is playing very good football this year.

Would we consider $800-$850k for Staggs? He is now at the peak of his powers. Amazing tackle-busting ability, acceleration off the mark & brings massive intensity & effort!

I’d say an 850k per season offer for 3 seasons from 2026 probably gets his signature.
Also taking into account he’s quite a good goal kicker.

it will need to be higher …. They will need to make him the highest paid Center in the game to get him to come here

It would have been a good signing if Cobbo hadn’t got into trouble but now they will probably just use that money to extend staggs

Abley aided by his major sponsor, Laundy.

Which centre is getting more than 850k ?

Mate I have no Intel, but I have a feeling richo and
benji will want to get their hands on Cobbo and out
of QLD. The sort of circuit breaker Inglis signing Richo
has been talking about. Something is up at Red Hill

 

[Kaito]

There must be a question mark over Cobbo at least in the short term. This would make it almost impossible to recruit Staggs from the Broncos or even ahead of other Qld clubs.

He might be the guy we are after paws...

I would like to believe we can recruit him. He's a fine player.

They say defence is about attitude. Sounds like the Dogs have it in spades ♠️

Well their coach certainly does ! And it shows.

It's a bit of a worry that the media has gone quiet on Cobbo ever since his form dipped, the Origin rumours about his relationship with Billy & now the police situation. Maybe concerns for his mental health?

Isn't Holmes??

 

[Tom Shines]

Which centre is getting more than 850k ?

None… thats why he will be the highest paid center if he takes $950k to come here

 

[innsaneink]

I’m out all.

I can’t watch these pricks anymore.

adios

 

[Tom Shines]

$850k

Staines and AD show heart but have some serious downsides.

Man - you’ll perish on that Rock…
I’d AD’s darting into space of the opposition to avoid contact is the definition of heart - the rest of the world has it wrong…

Staines, shows some grit bringing the ball back for an undersized, under strength outside back - but I don’t think he’s backed himself once in space in 2 years…

Even when he does score - he unnecessarily runs it into the corner and dives over the sideline, like he’s in a contest….

These blokes are reserve grade level of good clubs - both shown up yesterday by a reserve grade kid who doesn’t get a run in a crap side when they’re full strength

Lets be honest, the entire squad has checked out for 2024... The most obvious sign of this is that there is zero urgency in defense, but everyone is quick to show what they have in attack when there is a half chance.

The next few months should be about reshaping the roster, moving on the players that need to are not up to standard and bringing in players that have the attitude and mental fortitude to bring the club forward.

Pole or Sione Fainu re-singing would be a positive start, followed by some solid external signings over the next few months.

Seyfarth showed urgency in defence, made a try saver kicking the ball in the ingoal before it was grounded. He is taking hit ups harder and does everything at 110% man I love big red.

Precisely this. How he's been managed etc. There
are some issues there at Red Hill not just with him.
Peter Badel has been very quite too, who knows...
