Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No one has a real problem with the situation I wouldn’t think (although the moral high horses would be out in force if they were all still at Manly)
Just the garble trotted out like he’s coming from the best part of a decade behind bars, to be our saviour at 9.
Pretty sure I’ve seen posts discussing him playing this year for us - it’s nonsense

If he could just play A grade footy somewhere it would be good for him but he has to be mental ready for the on field Sh!t the other clubs will give him

No way Bizza comes here with Jarome leaving. It will be a PNG announcement I reckon. Critta will probably follow at some stage too.

Maybe a one year deal with the Tigers before heading to the land of the tax free dollar along with Watson!!
We could fine tune the PNG side for a year before they start

Apparently the Knights think he plays better on the wing but he wants to play in the centres which is why he’s exploring his options

So if he comes here it’s for the opportunity to play in the centres

newcastle had big wraps.on him but geez he played bad that day against tigers.
Mind you that was the day herbert was struck up the backside with a rainbow and had a blinder of a game in attack
so who knows

From the Bulldogs coach..

"
Burton's one that gets tossed up a lot, doesn't he?" Ciraldo said.

"It's really disappointing when you're going through a losing streak and people decide to make up rumours about your players.

"It's hard for us to defend them and then some people are copping a lot of unfair criticism as well."

Well, sucks having the shoe on the other foot doesn't it?

What does he think the Galvin thing did?

I loosely remember Ciraldo as a player.
Did a lot of effort, got into everything.

He doesn't get it. He wasn't a halfback and got into his head that "try try harder" is the only way to win.

Doesn't know his limitations, which is bad as a coach. (same goes for Benji).

I doubt Bizza announces anything related to his future the day before origin. Probably a brand or sponsorship announcement.

If he doesn't want it blown out of all proportion like Luai then announcing it on SOO day is a good idea. It would be totally unexpected if the announcement was anything other than joining Luai at PNG.

Getting hot now so rather than making a thread for every random signing rumour let's talk here about rumoured signings.

So far we have rumoured to have actually been signed.

Chris McQueen
Kurt Capewell
Ben Matulino
Taane Milne

Rumoured approaches but no claims of being signed.

Shaun Johnson
Bodene Thompson
Albert Vete
Gareth Widdop
Russell Packer
Mystery Prop

Any I am missing?

Occasionally I run into this list again.

Shawn Johnson, I totally forgot that we approached him twice. Would have been the signing we needed. (either him or James Maloney, aka a proper halfback).

Likewise Kurt Capewell would have been a standout. Damn shame.

That spending promised so much, but it was a fart in an elevator. The fact that our best performer of the lot out of guys like Packer, Reynolds, Matulino and McQueen was Corey Thompson says all you need to know. Packer was unbelievable his first 8-10 games, got injured then was never the same again.
