Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BlackWhiteGold]

we missed Corey H
so hetherington I guess

It looks like Hetherington will be our next target. Unless from his earlier trip to UK, Richo sounded out Morgan Knowles &/or Kaide Ellis.

Kobe Hetherington won’t leave the Broncos either, wait and see.
It doesn’t hurt to try, but better to jump on the players who are either off contract or definitely available to sign,

I'd go for Bunty Aofoa....he bends the line more

Behind a paywall by Corey has chosen to stay with Canberra which looked fairly obvious after the scenes on the weekend. Decision made after starting the last 3, effectively dead rubber games.
Oh well all eggs to the hethrinton basket, should try get that done as soon as possible

Or Bunty Ofoa!

I think he's good as gone imo. Lock is his position and he won't be unseating Carrigan and looks as though the Donkeys want to bring in some more middle experience (i.e. Christian Welsh) so he may feel vulnerable.

It'll be whether he wants to buy in to the Tigers like Hunt & Bird.

His manager only came out less than a week ago saying they had been given permission to look elsewhere because he wants to be a starting player. He won’t start for Brisbane for next season so I’d say he’s as good as gone

Have to have a crack at Williams now

It'll be whether the Sharks can fit him in. He sounds pretty committed to them being a local junior and happy to be an interchange player. Could the lure of a starting lock or backrow position & more $$$ get him across?

Off-contract Shark speaks on future, reflects on past injuries

He is one of the most underrated forwards in the competition.

Nope, as soon as you put AD at centre you made it bottom 8

 

[Milky]

Well you really are a bad judge

I could do 8 runs for 60m and i would do it for free

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Hastings on 800k at Newcastle next year lol good luck with that

Kobe is definitely good enough to be a starting 13 and I don’t think he would have an issue signing with us if the money is right, but the Broncos have no depth whatsoever in the back row, they would be crazy to let him go.
To me Carrigan is getting very close to a permanent move to prop which would essentially free up the lock spot for Kobe.
Williams although a couple of years older, is just as good as Kobe and is currently off contract. I have a feeling he’s not entirely happy coming off the bench and will be very open to being a starting 13.

Haha, why?

Personally, I think it's better to jump on the best players, whether they're 'available' or not.

I don't care whether they're free agents now, off contract for next year or being shopped on the DL.

Also, Kobe has been given explicit permission to explore his options by the Broncos, so that makes him 'definitely able to sign'.

Surely you are taking the piss or smoking some strong stuff?

 

[weststigerman]

We'd be one of the few teams who could offer Hetherington a starting 13 spot. I think he adds something different, brings energy and is a much more consistent player than Horsburgh.

Sad but unfortunately true

Sad but unfortunately true

Don’t underestimate what the pressure of keeping your position can do to improve players performance.
If someone like Doueihi knows he will be playing reserve grade if his defence is not rock solid, I reckon it will quickly improve.

 

[Betterdays22]

Horsburgh is a good player, but missing him is not the end of the world. Same for Hetherington.

There is no doubt we need to replace 3 first grade quality forwards but I think patience in the current player market is needed. Players will become available between now and the end of the year.
