Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[stephen]

Why are people saying players that changed clubs in 2025? It clearly says 2024 (last season).

My guess would be Herbie (back to Broncos), Leniu (back to Panthers) or Averillo (Dogs). Could be anyone, these junros use the word 'Star' for absolutely anyone!

Jack Wighton?

Weird....
Another rep level player not rating the coaching.

But It's all them - not us

Hopefully nowadays the washed up has beens keep getting moved on. As opposed to taking up big cap money in Reggie’s. Suits me.

 

[Modman]

Yes they could. Johns and Thurston made their careers doing so.
However this is my entire point to you.
You have put this kid on a pedestal he doesnt deserve to be on yet.

So has the rest of the Rugby league world but obviously you would know better you tosser. Mate just admit you dont like the player for whatever reason you constantly point out rubbish. The kid is a freak ask any Rugby League expert and i have spoken to a few but You always talking like an expert out of your ass from your living room. What Galvin did last year in that side was one of the finest rookie years seen doesnt matter what bullshit you constantly come up with.

Jack Wighton?

Luke Brooks 😂

Klemmer's pushed for the move himself, but the club will benefit immensely from getting his hefty contract off the books and being able to open up another spot.

if there's anything last week proved, it's that we desperately need a first grade-quality backrower. I'm not sure what's out there, but I'm hopeful that's where we turn our attention. we certainly have the cash.

Yes, but the market isn't there.

Were lucky to have May. There just isn't a lot on the open market. Klem wants to move, MOVE HIM!
He knows our team could use him and he wants to run away... BYE bye plodder.

I wonder if he will take unders and head back to the dogs... Ciraldo will kick his arse.

Luke in the bib on the right?

Pink bib means injured no contact.

Have forgot he let papa walk to the panthers , he also let Bateman go to cowboys , let blore walk to the storm , not sure if it was Richo who let big Joe go to the eels , AND QUESS WHAT, we didn’t bring in one player to replace them

Are you seriously criticising/questioning the recruitment that has occurred under Richo?

It’s been hit and miss. While signings like Luai and May have been great, it’s hard to defend releasing three players, possibly four and not signing a replacement for any of them.

Bird, Hunt, Turuva, Skelton?

As for Steph, Paps, Bateman they clearly didn't want to be at the club so in my opinion it's been great roster management to find them a home.

Yep, always the players fault. I suppose if any of these new signings show the same characteristics, it will be just another case of the player being a pea heart. Nothing at all to do with the environment. It’s not like there’s a pattern or anything 🤔

i can fully understand releasing Bateman - he clearly didn't get along with Benji and he's not bigger than the coach

Wish we could've kept Isaiah Papali'i. He really is a good player in a position we sorely lack - Seyfarth is okay but it highlights a lack of depth that he's our starter

Besides him not really sure who else needs replacing?

The only one that i would have kept in hindsight is Papali'i given our backrow depth issues. Unfortunately at the time we needed the long term cap space and there was zero interest in Bateman and Klemmer so Paps became the sacrificial lamb.

If Stef didn't leave then we wouldnt have signed May or Hunt.

Let's not forget Terrell May wasn't on the market until he suddenly was

We now have the money and roster space to move on ANY player who becomes available - if none do we upgrade some kids for the remainder of the year to keep them happy and keep looking to 2026

Everyone cross your fingers and pray a good second rower comes available

How about a centre?

I think the forward pack and bench named this week will be the same in round 1.

Ok. The club sucks. The club is at fault for everything.

What should we do? They have literally overhauled the place in just a year with more to do. What changes are you pushing for?

 

[upthetigers]

Idk about you guys but this forum really fills a void in my life. I have mates and family who watch the NRL but they're not fully invested in it and will only talk about the topic when I bring it up.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’d have had replacements lined up for a start. Unreasonable of me I know.
