Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If I had the choice of Mann or Frizzell I'd take Frizzell personally

Take both

 

[Tito Santana]

Getting Tyson Frizzell

Is that 100%?

 

[diedpretty]

To those who continually bang on about Bevan French - completely nullified by Wakefield through up in your face defence. Made so many mistakes and looked completely lost without the freedom to run. Would cop defence like that every week in NRL.

If we had to choose id probably agree...but as the lil mexican girl says why not both?

That’s why he left the NRL.
Who’s still banging that drum?
He’d be older than me by now.

Had far worse signings.. gives us a bit of go forward off the bench

Another Jack Bird type signing ....too small for forwards

I’ve never gotten the hype. ESL is reserve grade level.

And Frizell. A 34 and a 35 year old. Seriously? 2020 Frizell would have been nice. 7 years too late. On brand for us.

Best individual footballer, not the best footballer for the team.

If you aren't the latter the former doesn't count. You certainly can't get away with the BS he pulled this year .....

He is the footballer on our squad who can positively affect the outcome of a game.
There were certain parts of the season where no one else was trying at the same level, can’t remember which game it was, but he chased a grubber and scored a try that no one else in the vicinity even bothered to attempt.
That level of dedication is what this squad needs to harness…because to be frank, the majority don’t possess it.
Does he have flaws in his game? You bet he does. Can they be worked on? Yes - with good coaching. Therein lies the problem.

I think a few ppl are missing whats happening here

Brailey, Mann and Frizell are all depth/experience signings

None of these guys start. They prop up our bench. All probably on low $$

I would have preferred calling on Frizell & Brailey instead of Charlie Murray or Hope this year when we had injuries

 

[supercoach]

I wonder who we beat to get the massive signing of Kurt Mann. My guess both Orange CYMS and Wakefield Trinity will be gutted. The bookmakers will be slashing our odds now. Just what every club needs , a very old under sized forward, but hey he has experience

Exactly... and thats all these guys are.. and hopefully to help with culture and standards behind the scenes

Bird seemed to be chronically injured...how is Mann fitness wise, history etc?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Take both

Frizell if I had the choice

 

[supercoach]

Frizell if I had the choice

Yep although verging on a candidate for a retirement village, he is a proven warrior that will do a job . There is certainly room in our roster for him

Don't disagree with alot you have said but for AD to have a positive impact on the team he needs to put the team before himself .....I can't see him doing that....

He is also injured often and not minor injuries, don't have the exact figures but he would have to be close to spending more time off the field than on it while he has been here for his 6 or 7 years here ....

 

[Roar_Power]

These are depth signings. Much better than we had this year.

Gotta love those mad trainers!

They always seem to be at the end of their careers too
