Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

DCE ranks #114 Trindall #111

I would take those rankings with a grain of salt

It’s literally just fan voted

AD - imo - plays like the best player in school boy footy team - tries to do it all when things are going well and when its not goes missing and or gets dirty at every one around him without owning his own failings. Im not convinced that attitude is easily changed for him at this club, unless the team consistently begins to fire.

Jamal Fogarty is a specialist 7.

That’s what we need

No,we need a good 7. Fogarty is not a good 7

This might be a fair observation if he had only started playing selfish footy on his current contract. A few years back he was reportedly on about $650k and still playing the same selfish footy.

If I had to make up a reason why (other than him being a selfish player generally), I'd say it comes back to his high school days. He is one of the few regular first graders that didn't come through one of the top school programs. He didn't have the quality around him that most did, so he often would of had to go himself. This play has been ingrained in him to the point we still see it today (though I think more likely just a selfish footballer, rather than anything to do with junior days).

I actually think he is like that because he cant ball play. Its unnatural to him. Most natural ball players get off on putting someone through a hole rather than themselves making the break because its what comes so naturally to them. AD's ball playing is forced. What feels naturally to him is to run, so thats what he does. It blows my mind that the guy won't accept playing a position that plays to his strength.

Doueihi is in our starting 13 every week because he is one of our better players. There are few players in our team that can create or seize attacking opportunity as well as Doueihi does.

True just not as a halfback. Can’t tell him that though 🙄

I’m usually against signing 32-33 year olds. But Fogarty is a near must. We don’t have a pot to piss in with halves as it stands. Fogarty would give us desperately needed experience and leadership. And he’s a goal kicker. Two year deal would be ideal. Then try and lure a big fish.

Wouldnt you rather Cleary? He hasnt said no ?

 

[upthetigers]

We're not the roosters and Fogarty is not DCE. Wake up.

You seriously don't think Fogarty would improve our squad. We need a 7 and we are not going to land a big fish.

 

[You Know Who]

Mess with you. Are you threatening me?

LMAO you really are soft as baby shit.

You remind me of @voice_of_reason

Paseka is a big enough fish for me mate we should post this all on social media

I prefer to live in reality.

Hudson signs with PNG

Great waste of the best years in your life as a single man
He will be climbing up the walls,although they cld be electified!
It wont last

I

I apologise for butting into your conversation with kjng_sirro, but it’s a very good argument t and I am of the opinion that a largely no frills Jock Madden would look quite good at NRL level if he had the right amount of attacking flair around him.
We are 1 or 2 genuine attacking weapons away from having a genuine NRL quality attacking line up and that could be solved with natural improvement from some players we already have on our books, but until they show it, we are not quite there.

Jock is a good organiser who straightens the attack,and has a good short kicking game...but cant defend..cant kick long...
Cant fix the first one,but AD or others can help the long kicking issue
But hes heavily targeted in defence, and makes us very vulnerable against the better teams
So for me,hes just a backup

 

[clontarfkid]

Massive potential, I’d be trying very hard to lock him up for a few more years.
I believe Ryan Carr is extremely good at identifying and working with players who have massive potential, but need improvement with their attitude and/or confidence.
I reckon RC will quickly identify that Ethan Roberts is a potential superstar if he works hard and commits to start playing with more energy, more intent and more aggression.

Roosters discard...never quite fulfilled his potential with us.
Im ambivalent

 

[clontarfkid]

Agree he’d be good if you were paying $500k with Manly subsidising the rest but no room for Royce then

Read somewhere that Paseka is looking for $900k...
Hes like May in just below SOO level.who is on same sort of $$$
Not sure thats where we need to invest
Rather have some hard running young blokes tbh

How long will they actually spend over there? Probably 7 or 8 months of the year if you include travelling for games, off season, leave etc. Think he will be fine

I remember when I was that age,and....7 or 8 months in purgatory felt like a lifetime!!!
In fact ..7 or 8 days was abstinence!
Not so much these days!!

 

[westielife]

I'd rather we have too many forwards then too many backs. As NRL standard forwards are more rare.
