Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We are in desperate need of an another alpha prop with experience & voice in the James Fisher-Harris mould. Terrell May leads with his effort but we need someone who can stare down an opponent, puts fear in the opposition & can produce big PCMs at will.

At the moment Pole should be our 1st bench rotation until he further develops his game & experience.

Who could this be that could fall out of the tree?
Someone like Mitch Barnett was a bit of surprise signing at the Warriors. Long career with Newcastle as a young to mid age player with a hard edge but no standout but since he went to the Warriors he has completely transformed to a leader and enforcer.
Need to find someone similar we can build around either of the Newcastle Barnett or the Warriors Barnett versions would do.
 
Jeez May is a risk. We've got a pretty fragile truce in the dressing room, a 64-0 flogging, his brother is playing pretty unreasonable minutes and now will have to look after his fairly unwell younger brother on top of things. Hope im seeing it incorrectly but I am really not sure its worth the gamble.
Some say unreasonable minutes, but he's not being asked to play against his will. He's actively protested when he has been subbed off. But he's Benji needs to make it clear that to get the best out of him across the entire season and in future years, playing a bit less and having more impact is where it lies.
 
Look at the timing on that - just further evidence I think he’ll be here within the next month.

The question is…. would he play wing or centre?
Doesn't really matter he could slot in at both. He's got the ability it's just his mental space, if he is going ok mentally and really gets himself sorted, he is a weapon in either spot. Realistically we could use a centre more than a winger atm. If everyone's fit he offers more in the centres, Turuva and Skelton have the wings locked down.

I think he will play wing and Tito will play centre as turuva signed to get a go at centre, with ad dropping out I presume

I don't have a problem with his minutes so much,
I have a problem with playing him those minutes gives us an excuse not to use our bench properly,
Or to be looking at getting value from it / interchanges
- We're already small and light, Why do we have to be dumb as well.
This club seems to sit on it's hands forever waiting for 2005 to re-imagine itself!!
We're the idiots for believing in them.

If May has to play 80, for the love of god, Get a couple more decent middles and move him to Lock.

Seems like a diversion to me, Look at T May playing big minutes
- to draw attention that we're getting the least out of our bench / other middles in the comp.

Even the physics of it, The Opposition are out there tackling the same bloke,
that's the same shape that runs the exact same way - for the whole game.
On the Weekend we get 80 odd min from May, 20 odd From Pole, 20 odd From Hunt and 40 from Twal.
Storm fans running out of Popcorn watching them waltz through our middle...
 
Weedler on 100% footy raised the possibility of Adam Reynolds to the Tigers if he doesn’t come to an agreement with the Broncos .

Weidler is the kid they picked on in school for picking his nose and eating it.
I love Journos trying to run the game.

Even Woodsy invented a 3 way Trade between the Sharks, Dragons and Bulldogs today...
These blokes couldn't play checkers properly and are trying to mastermind
multi million dollar hypothetical 3 way player trades 😂😂😂
 
Which player said they couldnt win?

Mate the bulldogs got 42 put on them by the broncs
Melbourne got 42 put on them by the dolphins
wahs got 42 put on them
raiders got 40 on them

Thats your top 4. Todays game is a game of control every team has been on the back end of a smashing apart for the sharks. Yes we had a lot put on us but that's because we have a dozen or so first graders and most them only came recently. I hate we got that smashing but with our injuries and lack of compsure it was always going to come. NExt week is the real test now.
Whilst I agree with the sentiment of your post, I don’t think any club should allow a defeat like the one we had. At least those teams scored some points and put up some sort of fight.
