Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Just read the Roosters still have 7 spots open for 2025 ......it just shows you how far off other clubs our recruitment and retention is .....

I totally agree.

We need to stamp this out now and going forward.

One comment that really sticks with me from Bateman "Benji is treating the Senior players like Juniors and Juniors like Seniors".

If we allow our Junior stars to become Big heads and start writing their own contract demands, even before they are the "next big thing" then were doing it 100% wrong. Large hasn't played first grade.

I dont think that's what Bateman was referring to though. Although he just said it and didn't explain anything then ran off to England.

The more I read these forums, the more I’m convinced 90% of you are deluded! A consecutive three time wooden spooner with the lowest membership of Sydney clubs signing a sponsorship deal double the norm?

The Hunt thread was an eye opener too. A 29yo bloke has played no more than 25-30 mins a game in his career, was considering retirement, and he’s suddenly going to come to WT to get fitter, and play the biggest minutes of the prop rotation? 😂

And others here thinking WT have a better roster right now than any of the last 3-4 years, with Saukuru, Faagatu, Sukkar, Kit and Luke Laulilii, Miller, Matamua, Tumeth, Feledy in the top 30. Then there are the guys everyone wants out in Sullivan, Naden, Bateman in there too. Geez, I hope the remaining 18 in the roster are injury free all season and top class! You know, those guys like Staines, To’a, Twal, Klemmer, Hunt, Bird, Doueihi, Seyfarth, etc. who need to play each week given there are 12 spuds, or unwanted other players in the roster. 🤣

I don’t care if boys like Miller, Faagatu, Matamua, Saukuru, etc will get $150-200k a pop in a payout. Sheens and McDonnell [This word has been automatically removed]ed up and that’s on Lee and HBG bringing them back in important positions to only dump them 2 years later. Take the hit and move out those kids who were signed by them and look out of their depth. No club will take them off WT, and they won’t be NRL players. Just fat roster cloggers taking the spot of players who might be something.

A few people have said we signed a sponsorship deal with a Chinese car manufacturer. I'll assume its BYD. Didn't hear anything about double the norm though. But at least we've got one.

He’s probably more likely to want to play at a club who are in a position to challenge for a premiership

Yeah no kidding, but we don’t have that chip to play, and I was replying to old mate who asked what chance we had of keeping Gal. The only thing I could come up with was Luai, and who wouldn’t wanna play with a gun player like him?

Where are people even gathering this from? WT haven’t mentioned it (from what I’ve heard), doubt BYD has said anything and highly unlikely we have any who works for BYD here, I might’ve just missed something tho

I have done work with BYD, but that wouldn't get me that type of info lol
