Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Man there is an absolute abundance of fullbacks in the nrl , and just below . Straight off the top of my head , we could offer Paps 2 years , allowing Brooke’s and oitman time to mature . We could go to market and snatch Brimson from the titans , Purdue from the cowboys , Faalago from the storm. Thats without much thought , and consideration of what’s out there . If thr young fullback who’s playing halves at Newcastle can’t make the switch I’m sure he’ll be available as well .
Bula is a great fullback , and we should do whatever we can to keep him , but if he’s got one foot out the door , there is literally heaps of options Available , both internally and externally.
It is simply nothing like the Teddy situation where we lost him and the guy who should have replaced him in Papenhuyzen.

Pretty much agreed.

I don't think we have a lot of options internally though. Juniors coming up, Mason who hasn't been very good.. We could replace internally, but we would loose a dynamic player who can cross the line.

We would pay top freight for Paps I think. Warbrick though could be interesting, doubt the storm would part with him, but could be interesting.

Plenty of options and plenty of clubs that kinda want to move on their fullbacks. Bula does seem like a player I want to keep, but not for crazy money.

One would hope that type of behavior was when he was single .. now he is married with a kid .. here's hoping his behavior has improved. Also remember it takes two to tango ..so Mrs Lichha (to be then) was pretty much gutter trash. Plus i dont think the current Mrs Elliott would take that sort of behavior from her husband .. she would rip his left testicle out with her front teeth in a heartbeat .. !!

"Absolute dog act that shouldn't be taken lightly. Who ever does that, isn't a team player" .. another certain former Bulldog / Cowboy player had this behavior he's whole career .. and still does .. !!

Yea ah...

Something that stuck with me "past behaviour is the best determinate of future behaviour".
If AE has slept around, he will probably keep sleeping around. Not saying certainly, I am saying give the guy an opportunity and he will dive on it.

Look I like the guy, he has attitude. But he doesn't seem to add value to what we are doing. I would be looking at NZ though. someone with Bunty may be a good idea.

Not a good sign when the manager asks.

Isn’t that what the manager is for?
I get players like JL say I’m going to market they have ten calls by 8am, but surely players like our Baby Giraffe was not extended then his manager would make ten calls by the end of the next day?
I didn’t think much of that bit.
What I have noticed is Elliot is a bit inconsistent and a bit of a goose, and has now been not extended at 2 clubs and is currently injured, and 30, that’s exactly the long term signing we used to make.
Personally, I think I’d rather a baby giraffe than a goose. 🦒 / 🪿

Well either this guy has insane inside knowledge or rugby league journalism has taken a fall off yet another cliff.

God… how?

Well CK, when a man has special feelings for a woman…

Gus Gould has already said Bula could be anything in a stronger team - if he wants him bad enough he will make sure he is remunerated and then it will be up to WTs to decide whether we believe the same and are prepared to back him.

He also said Bryce Cartwright was going to develop into the best forward the game had seem when bringing him to Penrith. He is in his managers ear 100%

Haha, looks like he and the missus might be heading to England. No time for him after what he did. He kept playing and got married. Leichia got divorced and had to retire and he did nothing wrong.

His missus would be earning more money than he is moving forward, playing at the Roosters and with the Channel 9 gig… not much on offer for her in the UK… he’ll find a team here …

True. I don't believe he would fit the culture Marshall wants at WTs plus he is in the twilight of his career and unwanted by the Knights.

Speed is all relative to the situation - 70 metres out maybe but 5 meters out not so. I have ever seen him use his "speed" to catch a runaway winger.

AD has that speed, just needs a 20m warm up.

Who can we replace Bula with?

It's the off season boys & girls have a break from the doom & gloom and leave that till when the season starts... I mean seriously all this carry on about Bula & it's just Chammas & Mole throwing darts hoping it sticks.

It’s almost November. Off season amnesia is only weeks away from kicking in.

Heath Mason

Forgot we had him

Maybe it isn’t such a bad thing Bula goes

 

[1eyedmel]

Tyrell Sloan i thought was in the outer at the dragons would be a goid pickup to play at fullback ,got goid speed and less coin.

You must have also forgot how shit Mason is at fullback

And people here want to suggest Bula's defence is questionable?

Sloan is a non-tackler!
