Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Make no mistake. No player, other then those who are completely desperate, will sign with us now.

It is clear there is no strategy. No game plan. Benji's entire plan for the future of the club is like his playing style. Off the cuff chaos, no foresigor planning just constant improvisation.

That's a losing formula. Blatantly obvious to everyone.


I hate to say it but I honestly don't know what he is trying to do with this week's team

The only thing I can think of is wether he is unsure to offer a few of the guys contracts for next year one last crack before letting them go
 
I'd settle for a decent actual half-back instead of a plethora of left-sided 5/8s. Latu & Javon are not right-sided half-backs. Even I know that and I've got two left feet.
Well unfortunately mate one of them is going to have to learn, the forecast is bleak, the chance of signing any quality half after this last installment of the Tigers monkey enclosure episode.

The owner's drama, from equal 1st to 2nd last quicker than throwing the anchor out and now the Doueihi self-entitlement, what a season.

For any player looking for a new club that's scarier than the new remake of The Mummy horror movie I watched last night.
 
Maybe Kade7 has some news on who we maybe looking at or who is close to coming as it’s been pretty quiet on signings , I mean not leaks but no signing but plenty leaving , we need prop , back row , centre / wing and a back up proper 7 , so far we have missed Smithers and Paulo and Nikorima , missed or didn’t even have a crack , I just hope we are not waiting till things fall out of trees in the off season , that is just wasting an off season to have your whole team together and prepping , any word would be nice to hear
 
After today's presser, the next 2 ways the club can hit the media right between the eyes & make up to fans are ...

1 Win for Api's 250th
2 Announce an extension for Samuela & Latu early next week (bye week)
After @kade7 cryptic post about big Sam's extension, feeling a bit nervous, can't believe I'm going to say this but would feel more confident if Manase landed a T&T and I was a big critic.

Apparently Manese won’t be playing next year as he has to wear an ankle bracelet when he is on parole …

Media starting to say that Sam will be testing his value on the open market Nov 1 ,,,

Mmm, that's giving me an uneasy feeling in the guts Tom, guess they could still say that there's a T&T there for when the ankle bracelet comes off, looking after family incentive to extend.

We have all read the PNG murmurs, not enjoyable reading at all.
 
well..he has had the clubs offer for his consideration for some time … I guess we can all make the leap to the open market …
Yeah I know, doesn't mean the club isn't holding onto an announcement. Who knows, maybe waiting for bye week & no point announcing during the heat of this saga. I'm confident both will be announced prior to Nov 1.

Why do they need a stage to release some good news ? They should be gagging to do it as soon as it becomes available… it’s the least they could do for us fans

Sam has so much leverage in this negotation its not funny.

We basically came out and said that we are letting Luai go to resign him. His manager would not be dumb and sign right away. He can easily get the same offer elsewhere like Perth, so why not wait a bit to drive the price up even more.

Yep, with this latest disruption and recent poor form, it would be hard to imagine anyone wanting to come here. But then I realised that Footy players are basically neanderthals and any dangly bits on offer will be attractive to some. So there's hope for 9th next season after all.

I doubt the bracelet would be a problem, IF the nrl gave manese the right to play , Iam sure he would get a pass to where it during games , take it of and back on when leaving the dressing room
