Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

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.

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.

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

So let me ask you this. If our roster stays the same, what teams do you think we'll finish ahead of?

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

Name the teams specifically who you think we'll finish ahead of.

Bulldogs. Dragons. Broncos. Cowboys. Possibly manly depending on how much Turbo plays. Like I said you can never tell, Penrith came 10th in 2019 and 1st in 2020 so ya never know but this is my guess.

As it stands now our roster is at the bottom of the heap with only the Cowboys and Dragons near us.
There is a lot of talk how we have been signing some real crack juniors, every club is doing the same and the conversion rate for these crack juniors to actually kick on is not great.

People also are down playing Big Sam’s ability, his ability has nothing to do with his contract stuff up. The fact remains the club once again stuffed up, very similar to the original JAC stuff up when he left us for the Storm.

The club is on the nose with plenty of people and we just keep giving them stuff to feed off. We need changes in the boardroom and a new CEO

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

If Mary was still coach I’d agree, but Griffin will get them travelling much better

Not many players available who are key signings. We’ll have to wait and see who fills those final spots.

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

Maybe he was chased off the farm with firearms

Just when many of us on here think we have hit rock bottom
If we finish last on the ladder and Bulldogs beat us, then we will be at rock bottom
But not before

Three of our strongest defenders are gone.

Our worst defender too...

Correct
And what is that saying
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

 

[hodgo]

bit of a blow up saying our 3 best defenders are gone. Our best middle defender is twal, we have added tamou who is also good in the middle. We have less pressure on our 2nds to cover benji. Everybody has been saying liddle is the next messiah so he shhould be fine. Grant was an effort defender for sure but i wouldnt say he was one of best defenders when it came to making a dominant tackle.

Also, the unrest would have led to less buy in so I'm willing to wait and see re defense. We were very good early then some injuries happen and some niggles. i think our defense will be heaps better this year

[Curaeus]

Let's see how our 2021 roster looks before we start slashing our wrists. McIntyre looks to have left us for slightly better money and life on the Gold Coast. Doubt he'll be used by Titans as anything but an occasional backup but good luck to the kid anyway

Looks exactly like he has grabbed a handful of extra money and by all reports Ive seen, not even a longer deal and will probably be a benchy at best. Might not have done his career any good. But his new manager bumped up his 7%.

 

[Guest]

All this angst over aa bloke who set a club record for most missed tackles by a forward in half a game of football and then played 14 minutes the next week without touching the ball.
Negative Nancys on here will moan about anything apparently.

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.

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.

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

So let me ask you this. If our roster stays the same, what teams do you think we'll finish ahead of?

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

Name the teams specifically who you think we'll finish ahead of.

Bulldogs. Dragons. Broncos. Cowboys. Possibly manly depending on how much Turbo plays. Like I said you can never tell, Penrith came 10th in 2019 and 1st in 2020 so ya never know but this is my guess.

Can’t see it happening. We need to make a couple of key signings otherwise I think we’ll finish last.

Not many players available who are key signings. We’ll have to wait and see who fills those final spots.

Surely titans r a chance next year

There squad is on point

Cavill Avenue will derail their season. The lure of Hollywood Showgirls will be too much for their new recruits. It's an inevitability...

Exactly, and that’s my point. We’ve let players go and haven’t thought to replace them.

We replaced Eiso and ET with better players. We need to replace McIntyre but there plenty of time to do that
