Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Fish88]

That explains Toa’s sudden increase in effort and form. He will just drift off again at manly, no big loss at all. For that money we’ve done well.

Just identifying ways to improve our top 30

De Councey over Skelton? Whats the thinking there Demps?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

playing the Dolphins and the Drags are two different things

Like when Penrith play tigers vs titans?

Geez Demps, you must rate Bunty highly.

You've had to use 2 players to replace Bunty's output. (Blore and Taateo.) 🤣

Hang on …. Are you honestly trying to put forward an argument to me that the Dolphins and Drags shoild be considered as similar level teams ?

 

[Demps]

Just business.
Not sure Skelton gets re-signed.
Just brainstorming really

My point is that the best side in the comp can flog a bottom feeder with a full strength side yet lose to a similar level side when they have their origin players out.

We are so down on troops with poor depth it’s not worth comparing atm.

 

[tigertragic]

from what i understand we arent paying anything for starford at manly , parra wanted us to tip in we said no , deal eventuated at manly big win 450k off the books

Did you hear if it was Starford (got a better deal) or Benji (needed to change the roster) who drove this outcome
Or both

And my point is that the bloke I was originally debating with thinks that we have no chance of winning 1 of 2 games against the bottom of the table Dragons because our starting backrowers are out… to me that’s nonsense …based a lot on how they played on the weekend with them absent, and also taking into account other players coming back into the team

 

[clokan]

Pliskin?

We'd probably play him at Right wing

 

[crazycat]

I remember he did it towards Lomax a few years ago, when playing for us.
Cameras caught it and all, everyone could tell what he was saying.

Didn't make the news back then.

You sound sad at that?

Meh, kick it out of the game. If you have to insult someone use your fists not your lips.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

What do we think the club will do with Toa’s 450k contract

That’s a horrendous signing from Manly by the way, they already have gun wingers and centres and just added a shit one for half a mil

I doubt Manly are paying full freight.

 

[Tom Shines]

Old mate Kade reckons they are and Parra was chasing him too..

Saukuru is Skelton , but more versatile , and younger .

 

[GNR4LIFE]

That seems like stupid business considering he had two years remaining on his contract. Idk of any clubs who would take on the entirety of a players existing contract.

Straight swap with Josh Feledy,

Kade knows all

Saukuru needs to lose the puppy fat…
Fast

Yes and no mate - how many centres for sale that are capable of an 8/10?
clubs are getting desperate, and there will be a void of players leaving to new clubs…

Feel that’s why we’re suring up our roster for a few years.
