Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

I know. You were talking about Luai. A marquee player.

I’m glad the penny finally dropped … I won’t hold my breath awaiting you to provide an answer to the question I did though

 

[mikey]

Piss weak, Mike.

No need to be upset. Only saying the reality.

 

[batboy]

Some conveniently ignore this

Works both ways it would seem?
Seen individual Players single handedly blamed for us being a shitty team / organisation.
Chicken or the Egg,
Players can't get good Stats cos we're a shit team,
Can't be a good team because we have shit players.

I still think it's in the Walls of the place.
Next year is another opportunity to prove me wrong...

The penny dropped when I read you the first time, and I said marquee players won’t see the attraction of going to Perth. Players like…Jarome Luai.

We need a back up 9/utility that can come off the bench.

Preferably someone with speed that can create line breaks.

I would take Liddle back he just turned 29.

I don’t think it did because you made some irrelevant comment about what the Dolphins did three years ago

And he also just re-signed for 3 years. Solid player.

Hopefully Latu gets his body right and contributes alot to the 2026 season I think he could slot into hooker quite easily and he's a good defender

I was using the Dolphins as an example, cos they only came into the comp 3 years ago, and barely attracted anyone of note the first year. Just a mix of seasoned first graders and young guys looking for a start. That’s why I said the Bears would struggle, cos they have it even worse.

They got The Hammer … I would rather have him to be honest

believe if brown is signed the club will be actively shopping royce, brown on nothing, bird has no suitors

 

[balmain boy]

Elite players would not be interested if we offer more than anyone else ?
People are quick to forget Luai only signed with us because we offered him more than anyone else.
You can say and think what you like, but neither player is putting the club first if they do not sign to extend with us by the end of this week.

I'm not sure you understand the situation here. Luai is contracted for another 4 years. Nothing has to happen for that to be official. He's already signed the contract.
He has one get out clause which he's already publicly said numerous times he has no intention of activating, so long as we don't totally screw him over.
Bula has another 1-2 years contracted with us too and has also strongly indicated he wants to stay, negotiations on money are all that remain

Apparently Brown signing was a since deleted media article

He was not a marquee player when they signed him.

can a 9/13 that can ball-play fall through the trees please.

We at least have an excellent youngster coming through words exactly like that in Lanyon, training with the NRL squad in the off season will help him a lot too

Hunt will have even less suitors. We’re stuck with him.

More depth which can only be a good thing.

Can’t have too much depth Sir …

Although the Top 30 spots are diminishing… hope we aren’t letting a spot there go
