Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Folks have been throwing Haywood's name around to make them feel better about the club letting Da Silva go. Haywood is in the Mozer realm of defensive liability. He has a lot of ground to make up before he's an NRL #9.

Da Silva is a back up at Parra and is on $650k a year. No thanks

Scored 12 try’s this year. Impressive return for a 9.

Yeah I agree, I think TDS is quality and a real lose to the Tigers, he's very highly rated by many and still young. He's quicker then some of our wingers for starters.

Let’s hope Haywood can come on like TDS has.

“His faster than some of our wingers”
We had Liddle who was faster than some of our wingers
I’d prefer Haywood to be faster between the ears like Harry Grant or Cameron Smith

Moses sure had some issues with his service. Hindmarsh is equally as critical.

He did but he improved and I think we let one go there, he's a quality footballer and going very well for a young guy and has enormous potential.

Were all in with Haywood and he has plenty of upside, so lets hope.

Players are never truly gone. We can always getting him back. Granted, always a bit tougher, but thats why it was important to leave on the right terms.

TDS has plenty of upside, but a choice needed to be made.
We also signed Taylan after releasing Tallyn - maybe that doesn’t happen without the spot opening up.

I’m comfortable in the wash up,
Api as 1st choice hooker, Haywood coming through in a year or 2 and May signed long term.
Taylan is probably our best attacking player.

Good summation of that whole TDS situation and who can blame him for taking the money that was on offer, we did not stand in the way of an opportunity he was offered and we were never going to match the dollars that the Parra-sites were offering.

Horrific decision by Richardson to let TDS go when he was already contracted through until yesterday, which left our team clinging to nothing but Hope.

Add him and anywhere near those dozen tries in our side this season and I reckon that alone would have been enough to keep us in reasonable contention when Api was out, plus winning a good few more matches when rotating.

This from left field , if Harry grant wants to leave the storm , would the club tap api on the shoulder to move on so we could offer grant $1.3 million or more ?????????

I doubt it. Benji rates Api highly. And why would Grant want to come here?

How is he a backup when he started the back half of the season?

Ryley Smith was in reserve grade for half of the year

Gold coast would be his next stop 🛑

Weirdly
- I thought Harry played better Footy with us… seems to get lost down there a bit?
Dunno, maybe I don’t see enough of him.

Also think Tedesco had a better style of Footy here than he has over there…
He’s a bit like Paul Gallen at fullback over there.

Bit of that probably mate,
I also think those systems stifle those players.
The Roosters GF win was as boring as it gets outside Big Mark.
Tedesco is basically a middle
Forward there - it’s punishing to watch.

 

[davey_farrell]

Isn't mason unsigned for 2027?

Yes, however word is he is in discussions with us for a new contract

Mate you are kidding if you think either of those two played their best footy here.

Watching fitzell playing for Tonga , he is going to be a great buy for us , he has just put in 28 minutes, and didn’t look like he was in his 30’s

The risk with Frizell is that he has put everything into season 2026…chasing a premiership and World Cup.
Will he arrive at Concord a bit flat? What will be his motivation?
