Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tucker]

At least we know we won't have to worry about Mitch coming back as he's signed with the Eels till '29.

Thank god. It doesnt snow enough for him to be useful.

I wonder if Richardson can work his magic to free up Deine Mariner and Brendan Piakura from the Broncos.

Mariner for what? We have skelton and turuva, staines and lualii for depth, no need. Piakura would be a good get though

Mariner imo is one of the best young centres in the game.

So you do agree with this pipeline dream?

 

[Tucker]

DennisSpicer. Tucker is on the money. But on paper - the ATO - you are also on the money.

The intangible benefits were worth a lot more than the strictly tangible ones we offered.

Doesn’t he play wing?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Both. But when you have centres like Brisbane someone has to make way. In weaker teams. Definately can be a great centre. Dane Gagai like.

He has played on the wing for the Broncs but is a specialist centre (someone can confirm).

 

[cone]

Yeah true, doubt he leaves tho, Cobbo will be the one pushed out and I don’t want him there would be too many issues

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

The most useful outside backs excel at both wing and centre, much better for team versatility.

Yes was a centre in QLD Cup. Kevvy used him mostly on the wing but he is a gun centre.

We were told Teddy went to East for less money,
Does anyone really believe that was the truth.
Cause I'm one of many that can't believe anyone that is mentally sound would throw all that money away to possibly win a ring worth $20k.

It could have been for less money,
The difference between Wests and the Roosters is how they can set him.
If you do the right thing by Uncle Nic he will set you up on a path for life and $ after football.
Unfortunately not something that seems to happen at our club.

 

[Needaname]

Turuva confirmed to be the one with the appendix surgery.

Can someone inform Vossy?

That would be nice

Think about it. For a second. Would you like your personal life being being divulged in public. Your health record? 4pm Email. We gotta say something. Keep the fans happy. Throw some bread and water at em. Like in the Gladiator film. Who cares if he plays or not. Its only the first game. Its a long season.

It's all about the club being professional in all areas of the business AHX including communication to members & fans. I follow other professional sports like the AFL & NFL and injury reports are standard to keep members/fans engaged & invested. Sure the high performance dept may not want certain info divulged but at the very least should inform which players are injured, what the injury is & an approx return-to-play timeframe.

I get it dude - I’m not an idiot lol. (All fun meant in that)

I’m simply asking kade what’s latest is

I get info from a mate who talks with galvins inner sanctum every month or so

But I wanted to hear if he was hearing what I was bc I’m not sure if I’m being fed BS either … good to fact check everything

What have you heard

Keeps the opposition guessing

If the Penrith/ Australian Lock Forward isn’t on big dollars I’d be shocked.
I don’t understand when people say someone isn’t worth the money because he’s not a fullback, Half,Hooker or Prop.
It’s all about Roster management and for the first time in a long time we seem to be getting our Roster into a good position, I can see us looking for 2nd rower’s & Centres at the end of this year to further improve our squad going forward.
IMO
Richo has been our best signing for a very long time.

I get that, my point being if we pay big money to our lock, what position do we have to take the money from, it's cap management like you said, it's all going to depend on what value Benji and Richo place on specific positions, they might value a good lock at 1 million, they might not and think we only need a reliable lock and use the rest of the money on other positions, we can only really have 3 big earners in one club. If the N.R.L get a bigger t.v deal then with a bigger grant we could have more, it's just a matter of what positions the guys running the joint value the most will determine where the cap is spent.

Has been asked already I think…
Weird he’s looking for info while holding out at the same time
