Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[larry2005]

Jack Bird is genuinely a terrific player but when we are still rebuilding and looking to spend our money on top quality players he is too much of a risk

Would you take him at $300k?

depends what our priorities are. If you need a ball playing 13..... yes

Madge uses a 13 as a prop - so he’s out of luck

Anyone want Jack Bird for 500 000 a year? Broncs have officially said he is free to go and they will pay half.

He would be a massive upgrade on Lawry / Chee Kam...a utility forward we could throw in at center when needed.

Injuries a big worry though....

That's in Pesos yeah

No way. He's a broken biscuit. His knees were already shot before he went to the Broncos and did two ACLs. He'll never be the same footballer again.

I don't agree at all
Broken biscuits are still just as good as a full biscuit

I think so. Still a risk but at 300k probably worth it

I would too. Players like Foran and Bird are worth a risk at $300k because when playing (and fit) their quality far exceeds that amount.

How many games has bird played this year ?
$300,000 for nothing

Put that $300,000 towards a marquee signing with legs

Exactly, played 17 games in 3 years at the Bronco's, and is on $800k a year with chronic arthritis, the sharks will take him

Don’t see us landing a marquee signing, who’s available? JAC will be tough to get. CHN seems keen on going to Canberra. I don’t see many options, hopefully Madge can find some more guys like Luciano and Doueihi

 

[TigerSJ]

If we were looking for a ball playing lock I'd be chasing Adam Elliott in front of Jack Bird. In an ideal world, in order for us to be a top 4 side, we also need a quality edge player to improve our depth. As for backs - clearly we need a couple of fast outside backs hopefully one who is also an 80% goal kicker. Finally depending on how AD and Billy Walters finish up we may need fullback or 5/8.

I don’t think there will be any marquee signings for next year hopefully th year after we land a few but

When’s the last time we had a marquee signing? Was it Lote?

 

[finnzo]

I would consider josh Reynolds to have been 1 at the time

Yikes. Thanks for reminding me.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

maybe if we lose Harry we look at signing Cameron MacGuiness from st george to play hooker

 

[2041]

good young backs - Walsh, Staggs, Isaako

One of these things is not like the others.
