Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigahhh]

Interestingly I wonder if either of them, particularly Geyer being the older player could transition from an edge forward to a middle ?
Size is not an issue and extra leg speed in the middle is much needed.

yeah that’s where i was going with it

 

[Tom Shines]

It could if we have a new recruit charging onto the ball through the middle at speed and making 10 plus metres per hit up.

you want big Nelson as well ?

. reminds me of us when it all started to go bad

Considering we’ve only made the finals 3 times in 25 seasons, that’s a very broad time frame to say “When it all started to go bad”.

true, to clarify i mean pre spoon era

I think our top 30 could use 2 more middles, an established hard man and a young up and coming bull, that would round off the roster nicely for 26.

Nelson from the storm... Id take him on a 2 year contract in a heart beat

This guy is a walking suspension nowadays & can't even crack the 17 for Melbourne.... remember the last player we took on like that? No thanks.

I would be happy to have him at the right price, but he won’t come to us at the right price.
He adds intimidation factor that we need, but he does not provide value for money on a high value contract to play limited minutes and missing many games through suspension and injury.

He's certainly on the nose with bellyache that's for sure, read somewhere that they were trying to unload him and willing to pay a large chunk of his money to move him on.

Could a change of surroundings from being punted provide the brain jolt that he needs for a reset, jury's out but if you could get his head right the guy's an enforcer.

Nelson has reportedly signed a letter of intent to go to Rugby 360. Not an option.

I wouldn't take any player from the Storm who has seen a lot of NRL action. I believe they have been worked hard under Bellamy.

 

[Flippedy]

I’ve commented on Murray …how is that “most of the players “?

I know, nothing personal, it’s probably just the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve read the same thing so many times on here about our players.

Fair enough .. to be honest ..the squad is much improved this year and we see the results now on the field … Just hope they keep it going a bit further to get us in the finals …. The fans that have hung on this long deserve it

The Olam experience cut deep that's for sure, but some ex-forwards took form to other teams, not all ended up busted.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

Listening to these blokes talk about their Father a couple of times he seems like a massive knobhead & a bully.

Provided R360 gets off the ground …

My gut feeling is that even if he is available I think Richo says no …

That makes 7 on development deals... Someone must have an upgrade or paid out?

Finucane comes to mind!

Or does it mean 2026 starts as a development deals then into a top 30 spot?

I just looked up Broderlow, clearly says on WT website a development deal for 2026.

Roberts & Murray announced recently.

Goodinet, Haywood & Taupua-Moors says they have extended to 2027, 2028 & 2028 respectively. But fail to to say when development. Haywood states top 30 for 27 & 28.

Anyone know for sure?

Pretty much how you have it - that makes 7 on development contracts (out of 6 spots available).

Yep Godinet & CTP are development next season too.
