Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I just love watching the supercoach in action picking his team.

Damien Cook, Get out of here! punts the only real rival to Api in the NSW team.

Then suddenly realises that he needs a hooker. "hey Cheese, get over here!". Pays out easts to get him...
Both the Chooks and the Bunnies old boys would be looking at him going "what on earth are you doing!".

No way does anyone choose Brandon ahead of DC. No one, no way, no how. They are in a total mess and it's weird seeing this miss-step from the master coach.

I used to be a critic, “has a one town team that has all the money, juniors, and tv games every week, blah blah, coaching the donkeys is the easiest job on the planet”.
There’s a reason he is the Supercoach.
Watch him cut all the mouldy bits off the cheese and serve him up on a platter. I’d bet he gets the best out of cheese before I’d bet against the Supercoach.
And Cook had one asset; speed. Good asset, but he was always gunna decline faster than he could run, once his speed ran out.

I thought Sullivan played well at 5/8. Did some great defensive work.
Hopefully gets even better under Bennett's coaching?
Good options for WT, as a player or an offload.

I reckon 5/8 is his spot, he doesn’t have the nouse for 7, but he seems a pretty good player off the cuff. If he could fix his discipline and errors a bit, and get himself next to a game manager type 7 he could go all right.
Actually I reckon he and someone like Chad Townsend could win a comp in reggies.

Geez Mick Potter and Jason Taylor had no eye for Talent

as a assistant JT is pretty decent, he just has no people skills for the head coaching role

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Brisbane have gone backwards under Madge IMO. They still looked a better team with something of a game plan in attack under Kevvy.

all madge can do is bash and barge

Mentioning JasonTaylor and head in the same sentence reminds me of this from 2009:

Richo and Benji have not put a foot wrong identifying talent so I'll trust them to get it right, but KPP and Young don't appear to be players that would improve us

 

[Kelce68]

Yep...
And we'd have to continue to pay Bud to play elsewhere on top of him and his wages.

Like signing 3 Fainus to get a little something out of 1-2 of them.

🤣

KPP is a much better player then Seyfarth

 

[Telltails]

Broncos still have players that read there own hype. If Patty Carrigan and Haas wasn't in that team they would be belted every week.

What about Cobbo? Looks like he's on a diet of big Mac's..

So much attack on the side.amdaguire continues to do the 6 hit ups one play and then a kick. Use the ball.

Same Broncos as last year crap themselves when under pressure and all start playing one out with zero direction. If ever a club could benefit from DCE it's them

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

KPP from what Ive seen is NO...he would want $600+ and I dont see him much better than Seyfarth who would be on half that salary

Absolutely. Our team is competitive, and we've had some excellent recruitment wins. A few more good buys which I'm sure we will hear about will improve our performances even more.

KPP is a much better player then Seyfarth

This. KPP averages around 110m a game with 92% tackling efficiency. He beats out Seyfarth in nearly every category on a total (DESPITE PLAYING LESS GAMES THIS SEASON) and per game basis. I don’t think Seyfarth has even crossed 100m in a single game this season and has had sub 50m games despite playing 80minutes. That’s not even getting into his piss poor discipline that has cost us dearly many times. It’s a joke he’s even in the team.

Seyfarth has a delusional cult following on here the same way Brooks did despite clearly not having the talent or achievements to justify it. When one of your starting second rowers is averaging 66m a game and hasn’t crossed 100m once, your team is going to have limits.

Richardson is an experienced operator and will obtain the best deal in consultation with Marshall. The Knights have to clear the roster to fit in Brown for next season so we have a good chance to recruit Kai Pearce-Paul at reasonable price.

Seyfarth plays a role in our team. It is a role that obviously the coaching team value. If KPP is recruited, he will offer ball playing and attack as well as good mobility in defence. But it is not a Seyfarth or KPP question in our squad, both will have a role if KPP is recruited.

100 percent agree. Coach has nothing to do with it; squad is damaged goods after GF loss.
Walters couldn't get them going again and it looks like Macguire will have same issues.
Love to see the Ponies in such a situation.

If we did sign kpp I think that he or one of fainu or seyfarth will fill the lock role with twally moving back into the prop rotation

I would not be shocked if we signed KPP and Seyfarth went to reserve grade. He's excellent depth but who do you displace from our bench?

He's not versatile enough like Bird to take his spot. Obviously he won't take Tallyns spot, and he has no where near the impact of Fainu or Hunt

Valuable squad player for sure. Wouldn't be starting for any other NRL team

Symptoms of being such a poor footy team for so long

People hang on to players like Seyfarth because of "effort and commitment" when realistically, he's a good depth player

He’s not Fifita circa 2022 or Olakuatu playing against us … so he’s shit ! That’s the bar .
Never mind the current edge forward is doing a really good job, so much so any team in The nrl would have him in thier 17 right right now , and many people around the game actively speak about this .
But he’s not dynamic and not huge, so he’s shit as well!
Just people with unrealistic standards , and confirmation bias . I mean we all have it … but anyways . With the way the fans talk about KPP I hope he doesn’t come here . He’s on a hiding to nothing . Unless he plays at the level I just mentioned people will bag the shit out of him . He’s already “shit” and “we need to look for better”, so everything he does will be viewed through the lenses of “alright do something , impress me “ .

Fist thumping and expletive laden instructions from O'Brien. Compare that to Cleary sitting with his players at half time speaking with them.
