Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jimmy]

Radley hasn’t been in the greatest form recently but back to his best he was a legitimate ball playing lock that would still hit and run hard. Would be a true replacement on club favourite Elijah Taylor.

The way he creates space for his halves is a great asset and you can’t forget his aggression and toughness. 10/10 signing if he becomes available.

Ray Stone is simply Victor Radley-lite.

Think we would look much stronger if Radley was first man up at 13 with Doueihi providing depth coverage as the ball-playing 13.

Unfortunately he has issues to confront for now and his head knock count has almost reached the point where he would be a major risk unless on a very club friendly contract

Of course it was for the group.

But there is zero chance they’ll sack Tedesco.

The details from the text messages in the Chammas article are damaging.... plus you can see why May didn't totally fit in there, his English was too advanced.

If uncle Nick is a man of his word...

I think you’ll find he is.

 

[mtd#2]

If I'm the tigers, I take the line (no pun intended) that we will give players a second chance, because we understand you are human and can make mistakes - but if you don't make an effort, and mess up again, then you are out.

Call uncle Nick and make sure radley is here to start training November 3

I think it’s an excuse to sack Radley. He hasn’t been great on the field and his concussions are an issue.

 

[coivtny]

Yep, Twal has had heaps too

Nowhere near as many as VR unless my memory is way off.

Agree.

I would be interested to know if he would be eligible for medical retirement after a few more concussions if he was to sign a contract with a new club. I guess his issues with concussion are existing therefore excluding him from medical retirement?

 

[supercoach]

It will disappear under the carpet. Cheeses court case will probably drag on and by that time everyone would have moved on. Also if Radley is signaled out what about the others in the group. Uncle Nick did not seem to concerned about these issues a few years back

Both have had 7 in the last 3 years according to Google

 

[crazycat]

Concussions and all?

Yea, that's why I would say no to Victor Radley. ...

Particularly if he was being released. Easts wouldn't do it unless he was done.

I think these smaller forwards have a shorter shelf life.

But then again a smaller middle forward has its advantages as discussed here:

There isn't much risk with the HIAs imo...
If he has too many just medically retire him, nothing lost.

pre existing condition at time of signing - wouldn't that disqualify that possibility?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

A few clubs will have a dip if he becomes available. The usual suspects like us, the Dragons, maybe Parra.

 

[jadtiger]

I doubt they will end up sacking anyone …

The ball boy and the tea lady are the most likely to get sacked.

bet parra wish they didn’t jump on de belin so fast.

Forgot about JDB. That might rule them out. Dragons will definitely have a good at him.
