Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think you have correctly identified what we lack. I'd add a middle forward that can pass effectively/selectively at the line to get themselves and those around him 1 on 1 into contact.
I'm hopeful of a fit Hunt being that explosive runner but given he's never maintained his output for any duration in a long career im very much doubtful. Pole is the guy we really need to be that guy. 2 years ago I was confident he would be. At times, when at his best, he has been but again these performances aren't sustained. He is another who's defence is holding him back and unfortunately it just hasn't improved. For him though it rarely seems a lack of effort or positioning but he just isn't very good at actually tackling. I thought by now this would have been worked on and improved and I haven't yet given up hope. But every year I think surely this is the year only to be disappointed.
Unfortunately I don't see anyone in the squad that can effectively ball play. Someone will no doubt tell me May can. He can pass at the line fine but it rarely is selective. It seems more premeditated without any consideration to what is in front of him or the bloke he is passing to. Almost like he has only ever trained his passing against witches hats rather than proper opposed sessions.

What is instagram and tiktok?

They are things people use to waste their time and brain cells. Basically crack for the current generation, same sort of effect on the brain.

The thing I like about coming here is that there are lots of differing opinions not fueled by algorithms, even if some of those opinions are misguided or even just nutty. Not me though, I'm a big fan of the HBG board - they have always had the club's best interest at heart, and have the runs off the board to take us into the future. Daddy Denny knows what a winning team looks like.

His point is valid.
One guy leaving, who by reports wasn’t well liked at the club, should have freed the playing group up to take over and get things moving. At the very least to prove him wrong. They had no problem doing that when we played the Dogs, but didn’t apply that same commitment against their peers at the base of the ladder.
It’s an excuse and a fairly weak one at that.

That’s where the maths doesn’t math. On one hand he an unlikable little twat who was a black sheep in the playing squad. On the other hand, it took the team months to get over it when he left.

Twal is pushing 10 years as a staple of our pack and you don’t consider him a 1st grader? Good luck getting away with that.

I wouldn’t have to go back too far to see all those that thought signing Royce Hint was going to revolutionise the pack - and an upgrade on Stefano.
probably could still find some hangers on at that.

Well, Roycey is training the house down apparently. You’d think last year, coming to a new club would have been his year, but he was flat out playing 20 mins a game. But it’s this year when he’ll finally find his mojo. At 30 years of age.

Elliott aint coming .. he's signing a 1 year deal with the Bunnies.

Only my opinion .. both Alex's give us nothing .. both too slow .. no post contact meters .. both dont off load .. give us nothing in attack .. time to offload them both.

You know you need another club willing to take them right? Given the way you have described them both, I’m sure you won’t be shocked to find clubs aren’t banging down their agents doors.

Curious why?

To be honest I don't remember him as a player, but he played in the Easts vs Manly grand final.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Moa I find that more unbelieveable...

Heck, international sides then vs now are very different. Andrew Fifita to his credit raised the importance a fair bit.

Someone called Sam-Moa playing for Tonga and not Samoa - get it.

Come on, yuk it up a little. 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
There’s no need to spam Social Media with pointless drivel. There’s very little to talk about in December/January. They are both winding down for Christmas and gearing up again after the New Year. No need to give off the clingy bf/gf vibes wanting to know the club’s every movement during the slowest period of the year.

Haha Look harder, I'm not a Facebook Twitter Instagram user but you can still search Google and find what ever you believe you are missing out on

Missing the point.

The website should always be the anchor ⚓️ of the media comes and then link out to the peripheral streams.

It therefore increases the importance and value of the home website.

Shouldn't have to search.

I've heard pretty reliably that we were close to getting Elliott but he was "very relieved" when the Bunnies came in late for him...
