Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[mtd#2]

Ok so let's go through this.

Bateman is going to be less effective because he's only coming back for the $$$. So why complain if he doesn't come back? Tier 1 international in name only. Doesn't play that way anymore.

Stef is not an origin player. Played a few minutes off the bench in a dead rubber.

Papalii is probably a 50/50 loss, but considering he was going to be on 750k, I think we get more out of other options.

Let's be honest, these mugs were hardly having a go for us. What have we lost exactly?

Glad someone else sees is. Ice is potentially the only loss, but given the $ and the ROI I am not too worried.

Why does everyone want million dollar signings in the forwards? What we need to do is get blokes that are at that stage of their careers where they are ready to kick on and take their game to the next level and become those players... value for money aka Hetherington.

Firstly,no one is " complaining "about anything..simply stating the raw facts that our forwards atm are weaker than this year
I've attempted to explain why
If yr unwilling or unable to see that. losing 3 big names will make us worse next year replaced by a cple of benchies,gr8..yr fully entitled to have yr own opinion.yr very welcome
But the maths aren't complex..or are they?

The problem is the equation you are using.

You are looking at names and not their performances.

If anyone is struggling with the equation, I think it's you.

Do you think there might be some early departures announced on the night?

At least that is what I am hoping. 🤞

I don’t see why the departures cant be announced before the awards night … it’s not the Academy Awards …

There arent many million dollar forwards …and I doubt any of them will be playing here in 2025

Why is there so much hate for Anasta? I get it about his time here, but that aside I think he is quite fair in everything he says, even if I do disagree with some things. I like him.

Because he has hate toward the tigers. I don't mind the guy either, but I get sick of his attitude toward us.

Bateman and Bird on the right is underrated

If they both live up to potential, I agree.

Like the guy. Sticks up for us. And spends time on us.

I still say tigers fans are imagining it. Well not imagining it, but exaggerating it.

And count

Kids today can't count cos their AI does it for them. Not like back in the day when Jethro Bodine was doing Gazintas - "Uncle Jed, Two Gazinta Four, Two times"

Sezer?

Can’t help myself, as I’m in Fiji. Benji did a few days here not 3 weeks and was roasted like a duck. Also came up with a duck though 😂

Ok let me phrase, highly paid international and state of origin forwards.
