Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Krammy]

True,

Hodgo won't coach us an army of Hodgo's. I do see him imparting skills that he picked up as a player, but you are right Brett will run the training sessions that He/Benji/Morris develop.

He will see a stack in Bula's game and refine it.

Ultimately he is the wrong person to be running our training sessions. If we have to pick an old timer to do it (not saying we should), Liam Fulton. I reckon he could out-train everyone in our squad bar Api.

One of Hodgo's strengths was his back up play through the ruck. Todd Payten Lafranchi, Galea only had to get their arms free and he was there for the offload. If he can get Bula to do this more and not just rely on sweeping plays, Bula will add so much more to our attack.

Is this an example of the salary cap effect?​

Warriors last week move on a vet a year early (most likely at full freight)
Following that resign a up and comer in Ali Lauitii
And now resign DWZ before Nov 1.
Maybe all 3 were manageable until retaining and upgrades were required to both Lauitii and DWZ..

DWZ signs bumper new Warriors deal after etching his name into the history books: Transfer Centre​

Mate the warriors should have won 3 premierships by now . The nrl needs them to be a juggernaut , and the players you’re talking about are thier juniors . I have zero issues with a club keeping thier own juniors . I do however have real issues with clubs like Melbourne and the roosters who offer 14 year olds 75k to switch teams . Or thier parents happen to get a new car etc .

News next week?

My guesses - Sullivan, Naden, Faagutu, Tumeth, Saukuru out and then Rudolph, Fainu, a winger and one spot left free for now.

I’d be happy to keep Faagutu.

Foxleague reporting Bulldogs are favourites to sign Leo Thompson

Yeah, he'd look the part behind a bar when he retires from footy, could even do a bit of bouncing.

RCG refused our approach though didn’t he?

He refused 2 year offer , Des done a 3 year deal

 

[426Tlgerland]

I've got a feeling RCG would not come here due to Luai already coming. No proof just opinion

We offered 2 years , he wanted and got 3 from Des

 

[hank37w]

The damage done to our brand mainly amongst players is the worst part. You see players like Munster laugh when our club is mentioned to him as a destination. Api was cracking jokes about us before arriving. That is not a challenge Richo would have seen before.

The Luai signing gives me hope that could change at some point.

It probably equates to a 25-30% subsidy we’re forced to pay when signing talent.

It's not just the damage to the players, half the people on here laugh about this club and more often than not it can be justified, the place is not only a challenge for Richo, at least he gets paid to do what he is doing, which is more than the long suffering and challenged supporters get.

We have trouble signing players and I am really struggling when it comes to signing up for a membership which I allowed to lapse this last season after being a member for many years.

 

[hank37w]

Who are the four players?
Does this include retentions?

They're looking to sign Teddy, Woods, Brooks and Moses. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Gun 😂

Yeah, that's correct, the guy is shot. 🤣

Gold Coast retirement.

 

[hank37w]

Sadly some of them stick like shit to a blanket!

Well, they are shit so what do you expect.

 

[hank37w]

how do we struggle so much to move players on, however gus can basically turn over a whole roster over in 2 years???

Maybe movement incentives paid by the Laundy's.

Only having a stab in the dark of course.

How do you sign players when there are no vacant spots for them?

Did the above suggestion apply to Ivan when he was at the tigers.
Ie did he experience this toxic culture they speak of?

It was nothing about a toxic culture. It was all about Ivan wanting to coach his son. Ivan had to decide where he would coach and decided it would be Penrith even though he was legally attached to the Tigers.

He’ll go well under Des, both are loonies 😂
