Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

With Zac Lomax out of the equation, looks like we'll all be talking about Matt Moylan for the next wee while. Enjoy. lol.

If Moylan turns us down we’ll be talking Alex Johnston and Matt Dufty

Matt Moylan looking like Graeme Langlands compared to those two.

So we miss another target, this is getting to be a major issue

It’s been an issue for years. And there’s no sign it’s changing. Despite all the talk and bluster. Our current top 17 is very very average.

Despite the claims of the bagdad bobs on here, something is very wrong with the club. They need to address it.

How's Ben Hunt working out for them..

Mary 1st coach goooorne...

 

[balmain boy]

That's a ridiculous contract for the kid to sign. Obviously he doesn't back himself to succeed. That's barely more than Nof and Marsters got here. For a player that's supposed to be the next big thing and a fullback, he's selling himself incredibly short

He turned us down already this offseason ?

Johnson on the wing with JAC on the other provides a nice boost in pace, Dufty at a bargain price is streets ahead of the entitled princess from the Shire. If Maguire is speaking with Moylan he deserves to go.

I’ve been one of Thommo’s biggest critics as I think he’s a really poor fullback, but I think Dufty is worse. The guy just can’t tackle.

Frustrating we can never land a big fish, we need a big name and have the cash just can't get it done. Surely we have more sense then helping the sharks with Moylan.

Dufty No
Lomax -overated
Moylan - not great but better than first two and can play 5/8 in 2021 if need to. Jope sharks kick in some coin
Milford - could be great back at fullback if he runs the ball and doesnr ball play

Yeah we do seem to have a bit of a problem. We’ve got more cash than anyone but we’ve only been able to sign Leilua. You would think a premiership winning coach would be an attraction but it’s certainly not looking that way. We identified Drinkwater, Mitchell, Lomax, Milford, Brimson as potential fullback options and we’ve missed out on all of them.

Dufty has had McGregor as his coach. I believe he is a like to LL in terms of his potential. I did see the great tackle where he put a big winger over the touchline right near the try line. He didn't seem to have concern for his own well being. Moylan wouldn't have made the tackle because he is another very slow player we could add to our already very pedestrian backline.

Is it just me or am i going nuts.....The Eels must be hiding some books under the table or something.
***2020*** ***GAINS***
***Waqa Blake*** - Big Money
***Reagan Campbell-Gillard*** - Big Money
hys Davies (2020),
Haze Dunster (2020),
Samuel Hughes (2020),
***Ryan Matterson*** - Big Money

****2020 LOSSES**** - All smaller salaries
Bevan French
Manu Ma'u
Tim Mannah
Matt McIlwrick
Tepai Moeroa
Kaysa Pritchard

Plus they have
Nathan Brown - Big Money
M Moses - Big money
Dylan Brown - Resigned for like 700k
C Gutherson - Big Money
B Ferguson - Big Money
J Paulo - Big Money

Plus a heap of good first grade players... Adding like 3 rep players and losing some fringe 1st graders..

Something is suss to me ... Yet they won't even release the young kid to us a year early..

We must be the scum of the NRL and with all out money free we sign Walters and Leilua :thinking_face: :thinking_face:

Please give us some good signing news soon or maybe lift LM offer as its better to spend on him than NO ONE ..

Corey Thompson has a good kick return but he doesn't offer much else.

Does anyone rate Logan Dillon?

Sadly there’s nothing to refute that claim. It’s just disappointment after missed opportunity after stuff up. Geez I’d love to be proven wrong.

Josh Dugan enters the chat 😭

 

[avocadoontoast]

Wonder if Tui Lolohea is available. Can also cover prop which is handy.

 

[Cairnstigers]

Keep on Signing the best youth
At least they have opportunity here
If we can't sign top line players for 2020 then front load some players so we have even more cap money for 2021
That's when our COE will be ready and more enticing for players to come
I am quietly confident in our forwards
We obviously need speed
I only see Addo Carr and or Xerri helping here if they become available now and we are able to sign them
Money talks we have it so let's use it

Whilst I agree the squad is average, Zac also knocked back the Raiders not just us.

Good job getting one of our competitors to go high fora bloke we were looking at. Squeezes their salary cap
