Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Mossman]

I know it all seems like Doom at the moment but I think we need to appreciate what the club is doing considering what salary cap problems we have. In the past we have been focusing on trying to buy old players on big money E.g. Reynolds, Packer, etc .
Now we are investing into youth and not just our youth , we are getting them from all over the place E,g, Blore, Simpkins, Hoffman, Anu, Stefo, etc.. Also looks like the club is putting a lot of focus on our juniors in the local area and locking them up before other clubs poach.
Its very smart as they are not big money investments straight away and if they turn out well, we will have the money to keep them.
Once we finally get JR, Moses, Packer of the books we can start putting that kind of money on real top line players that will build nicely with the juniors we have.

I truly believe Madge is the right coach for us moving forward and we should only be judging him once we turn over these high priced duds that he DIDN"T buy..

Sorry but who is Anu

TPJ third party deal is interesting he has gone to the nrl disputing no payment. This could be big trouble for broncos 🙂

For us it would be a CEO suspension and cap hit.

The Broncs? It will be ignored.

Forgive my cynicism...but they have done it for years.

Christian Welch last 2 games against Roosters and Parramatta combined:
37 runs for 356m, 63 tackles

Russell Packer last 2 games against Bulldogs & Roosters combined:
40 tackles, 12 runs for 93m

Christian Welch needs to be a priority BUY imo! Tough as old boots, great offload and takes anyone on without fear! Arguably the best fwd in QLD.Then get Staines and Burton as value buys instead of JAC.

Gladstone boy as well ...Brothers Jr ......

Time to work your magic Happy
Put your Heads together and get it done
As they say
Two Heads are better than one

I’ve just spent the last hour catching up on this thread. Haha - the speculating has started early this year!
Every year we are linked to every player on (or not on) the market. Then we start assembling forward packs and back lines the likes of which are only ever contemplated down Bondi way. Then we wait for the signings...and wait ... and wait....
Then we sign Pita Godinet 😂

Everyone including myself are hoping for some great Penrith juniors. What’s the bet we somehow get MWZ back after it’s all said and done, a classic tigers manoeuvre.

Met him a couple times and he’s a quality bloke, especially compared to some of his panther mates, so nothing personal against him. But he's off contract end of this year and can just see it...”MAL CHANGES STRIPES...AGAIN; how Madge convinced Penrith flyer to turn back on premiers”.

This headline followed by lots of “culture “ references with the occasional “what we are building here” with maybe a smattering of Madge has the “kiwi connection and unsuccessfully tried to lure DWZ during the 2019 season”

We beat Melbourne and roosters with Godinet as our starting 9, lolohea at fullback and Rochow at second row. In fact we were 5-1. How Ivan managed that I’ll never know

We infringed and held down every play the ball at the time I called us the West’s Stiflers. Rules have changed talent is showing through average teams are no longer able to hang in there. Score lines and also the teams with the best rosters are all at the top. Cleary could coach he just had no morals.

They weren’t above us on the ladder at the time

The new rules certainly favour the stronger teams and it’s been pretty obvious in the score lines and ladder

He could coach but he’s the last person on earth I’d use as my accountant

Why weren’t the rules around in 2010/11. We would have been unstoppable!
