Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Not many clubs with a lot of dollars. Apparently he’s a fan of Madge too. Probably end up in Queensland though

From the DT article re Brandon Smith:

Canterbury, Wests Tigers, New Zealand and Newcastle have been touted as clubs that could show an interest in Smith. Strangely, no officials from Gold Coast – a club who would likely be interested in luring Smith to Robina - were on the list

Hey TieDYE ,fill me in on Tupounia,who is he ?Whats the gaf?

 

[Telltails]

If the Bulldogs go after BSmith it may mean that JAC will no longer be a priority. They desperately need a hooker. I would say he will become their main target.

Were WTs thrown in because the DT realises we have $ and the dart hit that spot on the board?

wasnt there something not that long ago , about the dogs
getting someone from melbourne. a hooker???

 

[JC99]

Storm have confirmed smith is allowed to talk to other clubs but he will be released for 2022, not 2021. Pretty much every club will be after him

 

[tony soprano]

Hopefully we don’t need him.

Most likely. But I hope our management meets with every player of that calibre on the open market.

We have to have confidence after all this time and committment with Liddle and a young rookie hooker rather then spend big bickies on a player like smith who is willing but hardly a super star. I always wait and save for a makita instead of just buying a orzito and hope it can do the job.

Brandon Smith would change our whole club and its perception INSTANTLY...

I don't care if you need to offer him 800 plus...and the captaincy...and tell the Storm they can pick anyone they want. That is a deal that would change our whole club. You do everything possible to get that done.

Josh Reynolds admits he was a dud buy for WTs on Ch9. It must have taken a lot of courage to admit it. He is looking forward to playing for Hull.

 

[carltonleach]

Branden smith too lock perhaps? Melbourne have granted him permission to negotiate with other clubs, what’s everyones thoughts? I know he wants to play hooker but if the moneys right surely he can’t say no!!

Sorry if it’s already been posted only just seen the notification

 

[JC99]

Manly, Bulldogs, Titans and Tigers are the most likely destination for The Cheese apparently. We would be silly not to try

Most likey. for those interested it says he's on 425k at the moment.

Nothing wrong with ozito, for the price and the warranty you can't beat them, if it breaks they'll give you a new one. They do the job as good as any

Brandon Smith may not be the right fit for us. We won't know if we need a hooker until Jake Simpkin has played at least 5-6 games. By then, it will likely be too late to sign Brandon Smith.

 

[hugh1954]

Wish the orzito' Ivan brought had warranty

Exactly. Look at the flow on impact at the Storm with Grant's arrival. Imagine losing Liddle or Simpkin
