Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Is this where we see Isaac Moses starting to agitate for Phoenix Godinet to leave because "his pathway is blocked"?

He better not. Pheonix will develop further next sesson in Flegg & Cup whilst his body continues to grow & develop. Then he’s top 30 in ‘27 basically replacing Geyer.

Don’t think Ian Roberts will have a biological son any time soon.

Can you confirm that he is shooting blanks?

 

[Kelce68]

I wouldn’t rule Roberts or Geyer out. The way Benji rewards standout performers in preseason. Sam Fainu and Galvin (amongst other examples) come to mind.
I’d say Sam Fainu and KPP will be favourites for the starting 2nd Row positions.

Unbackable favourites I think mate. They're both paying $1.01 I'd say.

Can you confirm that he is shooting blanks?

No but perhaps shooting at the wrong target.

I’m going to stop there before I get myself in trouble.

 

[Sully]

Can either of them put in a big physical tackle? That's what the side needs from forward signings.

Roberts is a big boy at 195cm and 105kg

Only 20 years old so plenty of time to develop

 

[Magpies1969]

Lock up AD, sign a prop and lock and hope both Hunt and Bird retire and 2026 is looking very good.

By who? Where did you read this or see this?

@Vicious has been asked about this several times now and has ignored it

 

[Spartan117]

He kicked the winning goal in golden point vs Sharks, kicked the winning field goal against Titans and was best on ground yesterday.

He's been our best player for the last 6 weeks and I think some are blinded by their hate.

He deserves to get the best deal he can. Just like Luai did.

Adam deserves a better deal than that on offer allegedly.

An established first grade that is in our top 17.

I'd say there is a nonzero chance Samuela becomes a middle in the Tino mold and takes the 13 jersey. But only if someone like Roberts jumps out of the ground and demands selection.

It’s a non zero chance …I’d say about 3 percent….

Roberts hasn’t played a first grade game yet …fingers crossed he turns into something..anything ….

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Any young player we sign should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[rusted-on]

it means we effed you. the finger indicates an appendage....he was doing it after one of the tries. The sign is a pass...just, but he didn't need to say anything after...it's like he had beef with some at the Bulldogs...anyway...glad they used whatever it was constructively for 80 mins.

No not quite. Who told you that?

Roosters prodigy to turn back on rival's advances

A keen neighbour is expected to miss out on the teenager's services.

Roberts had some raps on him a couple of years ago, looks like his trajectory faltered.

Mavrik Geyer.

Panthers young gun signs with Sydney rivals

The off-contract forward has struggled to find regular NRL game time at the Panthers.

Chance, Mac. For sure.

Depends on the lock role we're looking at. I don't think a 3rd prop is what Benji is wanting fulltime. He's moved somewhat away from the Pole or Twal at lock-type selections.

it's more that there's a logjam at the Chooks for backrowers. Crichton, Radley, Wong, Egan and Nat, Foketi and McCathie are all ahead of him.

this is a little like us signing Blore in 2020.

Richo knows how to manage a cap and roster. You don’t want 20plus guys on bigger money. Top heavy is the move filled out with players with potential and cheaper(good deals) ones. There is room for another key gun signing no doubt!

there's a stack of money in the cap ready to go. they've barely dipped into the mill they had set aside for Galvin and obviously TDS has left, but guys like Feledy and Tumeth were on much more money than people probably think.

it's just a matter of finding the right player.

How profound.

Egan Butcher is the one I really would like to get. Foketi as well, but he’s way too good to be let go by them.
