Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

You've got to remember Mansour is on about 600k next season. There's a reason Panthers want him gone. I would only offer him max one year at 150k, and have him as backup in CC. But even that's a complete and utter waste of a precious squad position.
We don't need Mansour. He offers nothing that we need or want. And he goes in the exact opposite direction of everything Madge and Hartigan are trying to build.
If we sign Mansour we will definitely lose one of our youngsters, likely immediately too. It's just not worth it when he's just a crappier version of Nof, whom we also have limited value for. But Nof Mansour

he is not a crappier version than nofo and he has played origina nd semi final football

David Riccio reporting that we're now going to fast track our pursuit for Mansour with JAC no longer in the picture. I hope he's wrong, would be a poor signing imo.

Gross. Don’t see why we need him really, sure we could use a winger but not a 30 year old who will block junior development.

I'd much rather play Kepaoa there. Mansour isn't fast and isn't very good. Would be a big mistake. Let Penrith hang on to Laurie for another year, no rush.

I don’t know why people think they’d give us Laurie earlier if we took Mansour. In fact taking Mansour probably makes it more likely they keep Laurie as extra depth, possibly upgrade him to top 30 for a year.

it depends how desperate penrith are maybe we ask for less freight for Mansour on the condition we get Laurie released early

I’d prefer to wait a year for Laurie than take Mansour off them.

Lets be honest Momo and Doeihi were panick buys.Both are too slow for the backline.Nice guys but unless sprint training adds a couple of yards i can;t see a long term future in 1st grade.

Crap the Roosters were glad for us to take Matterson off their hands, but they didn’t want to let Momo go.

I don’t think we’ll be getting Laurie early even if we signed Mansour. Let’s just stick with our current team and we can get Laurie next year without having Mansour at the club

Agreed,Mansour would be a bad decision for us quite possibly as bad as Jennings was

 

[Aceshigh]

As bad as Jennings my butt mate Mansour runs hard at the defence , that is something the Tiges have been lacking

Do you mean that they would prefer Momo over the Morris boys,I don;t think so.

Well done Lee on have a comment re JAC and being quoted like that. We have cash, we want the best and we want the right type of players in our club. We are showing clear intent to improve our roster.

Re Mansour if we get him cheap and Laurie comes a year early then I’m for it. The Panthers will pay some frieght for 21.

Based on recent moves it’s clear we won’t pay overs and would be confident Mansour wouldn’t be on overs. With our young kids he also would provide some great experience which we saw this year at the Panthers.

It’s very clear we lack a true winger as well which he eliminates a problem for us. It’s not the Fox but he isn’t terrible and would improve us.

That's just the wrong mindset. Mansour is not cheap as he will block the path of our juniors and we have many good young ones. The opportunity cost of Mansour is one or two of our good juniors who'll leave, as Stefano did at the Eels due to RCG and. Paulo being purchased. We are not a retirement home and we already have a slow winger who can't defend.

Para have done well with RCG and Paulo though.

The game has edge forwards that are bigger and in some cases faster then the backs,this is one of the reason our defence is found wanting,.

The Morris boys were not at the Roosters when Momo was there.

If a bug keeps biting you on the arse and you don't squash it you are a fool. JAC is that bug.

What if its a Ladybug

The Eels can attract these players while we're building mainly from within. We don't need more players at the end of their careers blocking progression.

They are trying to get rid of Mansour so have offered him as a package with Laurie's early release.

Hey Spud, I think Jimmy is a great buy at the money,at his worst he is better then our slow backline.

by the sounds of things it seems as if we're going to throw some of the money that was given to us by Manly for Aloiai at Penrith for Laurie, as opposed to taking Mansour off their books?

While I'm not overly excited by Mansour, he is still light years ahead of Jennings.
