Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[magpies forever]

Why are WT always so quiet and late in the player market? I know Richo says things are done away from media and no leaks but man o man every single good player gets gobbled up by other clubs before we get a chance to bid. I know this is just impression and things are hopefully happening behind the scenes (shaking out the trees) but sheez, this has been a WT 'tactic' for such a long-time. Filling our squad with bargain basement leftovers.

just gotta trust richo is on top of it. it’s good we don’t leak anymore but sometimes they were helpful lol

I think he has a very punchable face

Sticky agrees, I reckon.

As well as big uplift in our nsw cup squad

You might not agree with all of them as the best option but no one should question that we haven't been active in the player market

But he's not acceptable at NRL level.

Subjective opinion. Many disagree.

Averaging 4 hit ups a game,

Yep, that'll happen when you're a junior, defensive based edge who isn't given much ball.

couldn't break a tackle if he tried.

He had 1 on the weekend. So.... false.

Tackles alright but still too small and weak

Define 'small and weak', because he's objectively neither.

He should be playing and developing in NSW cup, as a future retirement for twal.

Hahahahahahahaha.... you mean like I suggested two pages ago?

Our pack hard dominated every week, and that's because twal, seyfarth, Sukkar and doueihi

Hahahaha, Doueihi has started half a game there. Sukkar's been there for 5 mins and Seyfarth has been on the bench for the past month. Stop over-simplifying things incorrectly 😂

are not starting level forwards in the NRL. Simple as that. All too weak and get dominated

Stop pretending like I'm making the counter argument to this. I made a comment on Sukkar being well suited to the middle in a couple of years, who are you swinging at?

 

[stephen]

Ricky Stuart agrees 🤣

Beat me to it, BWG. I posted the same just now.🤣

 

[lathami]

I genuinely cannot fathom the pitchforks for Starford To'a.

he is injured. he is therefore going to make mistakes. blame the coach for playing him busted, and the admin of past and present for our horrendous depth in the outside backs.

at his best he is up there with the best centres in the competition. his stats from the beginning of the season indicate as such.

fingers crossed he gets the rest he so desperately needs this week.

I can’t believe these comments after Toa absolutely shockingly poor performance on the weekend! Them not only that game but toas poor month of football. Then picks him again, like I new he wood as bunji miss judges actually how inconsistent he is as a player. Hate to say it but I’d prefer Naden at this stage, and that’s saying something…

 

[Tito Santana]

Someone always wants to move a player somewhere. Next it will Makasini to the back row. Book mark it.

Agreed. Many a knob here request to sign players and play them out of position.

I deem these people knobs.

 

[poopy_diaper]

Benji is really missing a trick not playing Seyfarth at hooker.

 

[WhiTe Tiger]

Jonah Pezet is now available given Hughes has extended at the Storm.

 

[hodgo]

🚨 The Canberra Raiders have granted young duo Trey Mooney and Chevy Stewart permission to talk with rival clubs immediately.

surely

 

[Jolls]

Benji is really missing a trick not playing Seyfarth at hooker.

Haven't you heard the plan? He and AD will rotate with Api.

 

[hodgo]

According to Buzz (Triple M NRL podcast), Beau Fermor & Alofiana Khan-Pereira being shopped by their agents.

We'd be stupid not to investigate Fermor if this has legs.

these two wit mooney and stewart would be huge imo

 

[Bellend]

Best man for the job is all that matters. If you want to talk about kgs and impact direct the comments at Seyfarth. He's a lightweight

yes he is a lightweight with a big heart.

 

[Aceshigh]

yes he is a lightweight with a big heart.

A big heart doesn’t cut it he gets dominated

 

[oldschooltiger]

what odds he ends up at the roosters. Did the Bulldogs jump the gun with Galvin.

Balmain Boy at it again. You got NFI son! Stop stealing our oxygen. If you watched the game the edge forwards held them self well against Penrith the first half. You’re talking about a 4 time NRL grand final team who could not bust our line for 30min. Had Latu not shot out, no way they would have scored. I would have been embarrassed if I was a Penrith player and could not get through a rookie 21 year old edge forward for that long.

But since you hate Sukkar, Twal and Doueihi, it’s quite obvious where your minds at. BUT like the coward you are, you will never run it Str8.

Please change your name to keyboard warrior!

 

[innsaneink]

Didn't we have a big push the last couple of years with involvement of indigenous players and indigenous pathways???

I thought so too....seemed to be put into the too hard basket

 

[Needaname]

Bet you he sticks around for 26 maybe moves to Perth or a new club the following year.

 

[poopy_diaper]

I'd say Souths loom large in Pezet's future.
