Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[CarltonDry]

Just read Luke Metcalf is unsigned for next year. Wouldn't mind picking him up for cheap and giving him the chance to earn the fullback spot over preseason.
Other players (apparently) unsigned that I think could do a job at the right price:
Tom Amone, Jack Johns, Tyrone Roberts-Davis, Dean Blore, Jaemon Salmon, Joe Lovodua.
Anyone keen on any of them?

Does anyone know if Dean Blore is related to our bloke Shawn Blore?

Older brother of Shawn. Was a gun 6 in juniors

is he worth a look?

Roberts-Davis is related to James Roberts, Amos Roberts and I think Paul Davis. He is a former Aust Schools centre or winger. He was tall and fast when I last watched him.

We should take a leaf out of the dogs book to land signings. The way they landed Luke Thompson they flew over there to get the contract signed.

The player himself has been a bit of a flop so far but half the NRL was trying to sign him but they got it done.

I wish we could do that with anyone decent.

Our CEO and chairman travelled 500kms to try and lure LM. Should have bought some firearms with them to close the deal

A covid testing kit would've got him over the line

We did... We got their head of recruitment Warren "Big Mac" McDonell 🤦‍♂️🤣😂

Why would we take a leaf out of the book of a team that has finished below us on the ladder 3 years straight?

Because they'll finish above us next year.

Will they??

As the rosters currently stand they'll finish above us. If they get Burton and Leniu as reported, they'll finish well ahead of us.

You think the bulldogs roster is better than ours? They won 3 games last year and have not improved all that much. Clearly we haven’t improved much either that’s a different point but on paper we are better than them for sure.

We won 2 of our last 10, conceding on average over 30 points per game. Our best player (Grant) is gone, McIntyre is gone, Eisenhuth is gone (and whilst a plodder was defensively very good and made consistent metres) and Taylor is gone. We've gotten Tamou (good signing) and Stefano (who didn't look ready for first grade).

They have bought Flanagan, Hetherington and Cotric. Last time we played we won 29-28 and were lucky to win.

Yes, I think as it currently stands they'll finish above us. The way the rosters are as of today we'll be fortunate not to come last.

Yep, we're headed for a rough year unless something magically changes.

Last years results don’t directly affect this years results, most of those losses were against top 8 teams too we had a horror finish to the season it’s really impossible to know how both teams will improve

Grant is the only real loss. The others are solid players but have been replaced bar McIntyre (at this point) their roster is still garbage and worse than ours

Not that many it’ll be another 9th-12th finish. I don’t think it’ll be a good year for us ?

If you have us at 9th that is 7 teams .....personally a 9th finish would have the footy Gods smiling down on us based on the current roster

On paper we might just edge out the Dragons. Hard to see us doing much better without any recruits.
