Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Something must be brewing at Concord. Releasing Joe, reduced contract for Brooks (reportedly), offered Moses $1.4M that we still have... That's what they colloquially call a war chest.

And now that the board have stopped the leaks, we have no idea what the big move may be. I guess we just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Yep...the Pom and CCTW have not posted here for months now....and ever since I didn't renew Pascoe has stopped "talking" to me....

Yes that's why I think next year they will look to upgrade and extend if he keeps going the way he is.
Doing this early will help retain him and show him some faith before clubs like Roosters come poaching.

100 percent, I reckon this kid on his trajectory will be the face of league for 10 - 15 years if he stays fit. He is a generational talent. Whoever it was who brought him to training should be given the key to Sydney.
 
I am quite proud of the Club / Management for locking down the chat around the inside workings and potential deals.

Very happy to know that we are finally truly getting things done professionally.

Looking forward to the next signing, Im sure that it will a Statement after letting fan favourite Joffa go.

From what I can gather, Trey Peni contacted Warren McDonnell and asked if Jahream could trial at the club and the rest is history.

Offa not having a great year and Parra really want him so fine but I'm sick of helping out other clubs and getting NOTHING in return would could really use a center and /or a playmaker so Mr Brad Arthur do a deal Penesini ? Simonson ? Dunster ? or your son ?
We don't give without getting

Oddly, Jake Arthur to sign with Manly?
Which is very surprising as I know many coaches want to coach their offspring. I guess Brad Arthur realises that Jake's development would be hampered at Parramatta if his exposure is Brad Arthur alone.

We need to be realistic. We are not playing finals this year. If we want to play finals next year or the year after we need to be putting Joffa’s $600k per year to better use. For comparison, I believe Spencer Leniu signed with the Roosters for $550k per year (on the books that is…). Joffa was way overpaid by that comparison. We brought Fulton in to do a job and now we’ve backed him with more salary cap to spend and an additional roster spot free. Let’s see how it turns out. There’s no guarantee it will work but at least we aren’t being half arsed about it.

I fully like Joffa, IMHO 600k he is worth that.
But Joffa isn't a match winner. He is good, but he collected the woodware with the rest of the team. People like Spencer Leniu, TPJ, etc can get us there. Joffa isn't what we need and we probably need to cull those that lost so many games with us and just get that period out of our system.

Lastly What is up with the Roosters getting Spencer for Unders? 550k is unders and we made offers of Overs for Moses, overs for several players and I am sick of it.
Time we start getting players on unders. having cap space really does help with this.

Trey Peni is a deadset legend, it's no coincidence our rise in form has coincided with his debut. Every week he is getting better. One or two off-seasons who knows how good he could become. As long as he keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground and his head down.and but up he could be anything.
One thing is certain though, Sheens might be a lot of things, one of which is great at finding great fullbacks, Bulas name hopefully will go down with the greats Sheens has uncovered in his time hopefully.

Agreed. But I'd argue we got Api and Papalii on unders. One or two more big signings (or young guns ready to be household names like Bula) and we will be a finely balanced squad poised to give the ladder a shake.
Of course, will help if Brook's contract is reduced which looks likely.

Nah, he's a caring dad and just wants the best for his son, so he would like him to be coached by a far better coach.

So he sent him off to Seibold. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
