Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hodgo]

its more about the quality than signing players every day or week. we splash a so called $700,000 on Reynolds yet dugan goes for same amount and we really need a fullback, maybe we did make a offer, but it would be nice to see some thing come thru sooner rather than latter.
i will put this to all on this forum, for the last couple of years or there abouts we have had in theory a pretty decent backline and a a-grade pack. now we have signed some starch to the pack for next year, but unless we get some decent backs, we will be in a reverse situation.

You can see Cleary is trying to build a culture and some players don't fit that I doubt Dugan is the culture builder he wants

Something doesn't add up with Dugan… all along he wanted "fullback" money yet supposedly he took $700k to play centre for sharks... surely the dragqueens offered $700 k or close to it???

Dragons offered 750k i believe.

I read somewhere on here weeks ago that quoted "The Tigers were not at all interested in Dugan."

I was happy with that - they obviously had reasons.

Honestly stuffed if i know why the obsession around Dugan. He plays 12 games a year. No thanks, Sharks can have him.

Read a stat…he's played something like 2 from 5 full years in the past 5 seasons.

We'll we needed a playmaker more so. I'm not sure what the Reynolds signing has to do with Dugan. Our backline capable of brilliance in attack but inconsistent and poor defensively.

I pointed that out the other day. 75 games in the last 5 years. That equates to almost half that time on the sidelines. You'd be crazy signing a guy with that record for 350k, let alone 700.

That's right, I don't think he was ever on our radar and thankfully not - overrated by many (including himself) and injury prone. Would rather Gordon.

Sharks will get the best of him though. Think it's a good signing for them.

Tedesco would have roughly the same % of overall games missed wouldn't he? Or very close to it. Roosters have somehow managed to find $1.2 or $1.4 million per season (going by figures quoted) in the lolly jar to put Tedesco on their books.

Sharkies will pump Dugan up full o' peptides and he probably will gain 20 kilo's of muscle and never miss a game for the rest of his career. It worked for Gallen.

 

[Tacky]

Where's SG? We could use some more signing news.

 

[taner_m8]

i know Liddle is a very a good dummy half, but i think we should get a new one. i think put Liddle on the bench to give us strike power later on in the game. MM lets in too many penalties and i know he can tackle but he hasn't been 100% this year. Kaysa Pritchard, Michael Lichaa, there only 2 we could get.

You think we have problems at hooker and your solution is to target the two worst hookers in the competition?

I Regret saying lichaa but Kaysa Pritchard 2017:
473 Tackles 4th this year)
334 Running Metres
1 Try
45 Hit Ups
Average 43 Tackles A Game
2 Try Assists
1 Line Breaks:

Pretty good for a little dummy half

He has the 4th most tackles because he's one of the only hookers that is meant to be playing 80 minutes. He has a higher missed tackle % than McIlwrick. He has played a lot more minutes than McIlwrick and yet he has made less running metres at a lower average and has made less linebreaks and scored less tries. He has also made 7 errors whereas McIlwrick has made 1.

Statistics do not make a compelling case for going to market in order to buy Kaysa Pritchard off the Eels.

 

[HabboTiger]

No. Eels fans dump on him often, big no from me.

 

[Tacky]

If we were going to get a new hooker, Mitch Rein would be top of the list. But, we don't need one, Mcilwrick and Liddle are doing a good job. No need to fix something that isn't broken.
