Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Ponyo]

You guys don't know what you're on about!
The kid is an athlete he'll take a spot watch


I can see him being decent also.from what I’ve seen he has natural talent.
I recall some people (including myself)who thought Corey Thompson was a dud signing.He goes alright ✌?

He's had some personal issues & injury is never easy to overcome. At the Raiders he had Nicoll-Klokstad, Cotric and Simonsson in front of him. He's yet to bloom that's for sure.

Brad Abbey if fit could be a good fullback


Brad Abbey has the ability to be 2020’s version of Charnze Nicoll-klokstad


Wow....how about we let him get past his rehab first?


Hence me saying “has the ability”.....


if his knee doesnt come good, he "has a disability".


Positive forum member you are lol


Im as positive as the next guy and I hope Brad makes it but the guy is coming back from his second reconstruction, on minimum salary, still isnt running fully, strapped up. Suggesting he could be the next CNK is simply ridiculous and unrealistic.

I'd be ecstatic if he made it into first grade and challenged for a wing spot. To do so he will be pushing out a decent player such as Thommo, Jennings etc. Even that is optimistic.

Ask Tedesco if it’s possible to come back from knee injuries, I’m not saying he’ll be CHK I’m just saying if he rehabs well and is fit he has the capability to be the CHK version of 2020 the kid has talent just need to get healthy

Abbey is a special. Worth a contract %100

special players generally arent on a train and trial contract at 22

I think that's more to do with bad luck with injuries than a lack of talent.

And then last more than a few games in CC.

Same as Liddle really, only I am more confident of Abbey getting some games under his belt than Liddle

Anyone know who this bloke has signed for?

"Catalans Dragons centre Brayden Wiliame has left the club with immediate effect and will move back to Australia to join a NRL club.

The Fiji international arrived in 2017 making 72 appearances and scoring 30 tries for the Dragons.

Wiliame also helped Catalans win the 2018 Challenge Cup, scoring a try in the final at Wembley.

He told the club website: "It's been an experience I'll cherish forever. I wish you all nothing but the best."

I seem to remember us signing a half back in 2003 with a long list of leg injuries. Ended up being a pretty good signing.
To right him off seems crazy. Teddy came back good. People also forget about Benji and his injuries. Farah has his knee done in 03/04 from memory too

Basically we need 3 more players on the books for round 1...we've got a couple of guys on train and trial deals and the Latrell Mitchell saga will sort itself out one way or another soon enough.

Anyone know who else are on the train and trial deals...

Waita Setu and Abbey are two..

Musgrove, Mitchell, ?

 

[Leck]

Anyone know what Billy Brittain's status is? His Wiki page says -

'Billy Brittain is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who last played as a hooker for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL'

Did Madge’s grand plan come through like you thought, you mention we could expect some things but not much eventuated. Still in play or not happening?

Yeah most of it. Latrell is still the missing piece but again, with all the whoo-ha that's gone on, I haven't been bothered by it in the slightest - we have the money he wants - it really comes back to Latrell not being distracted by the circus media that has so many people up in arms, and likewise his peanut manager which The POM alluded to. We've played this one coolly the whole way through.

Willow with all the circus thats followed if Latrell did come is everything pointing to his heart being in it. I think he could be a great signing just worried he is doing it for the right reason. Not because he had nowhere else to go.

I think if he comes, as long as it's for more than 1 year, his pride as an athlete will kick in and he will be incredible. I "think", as I have no inside information.

 

[Harvey]

We can’t afford to fill those remaining roster spots with train and trial players.

We are already carrying 3-4 upgraded development players that are a long way off first grade standard. More “depth “ players will leave us with a squad of 20 first grade players at best.

there is a signing to be announced possibly this week - Source Pascoe
