Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[diedpretty]

My Signing Hopefuls:

1. The Cheese, 3 year deal for 600k a year. But I doubt Storm would release with out a player swap. Put the Dogs front runners who might swap Napa

2. Widdop, I know his age and injuries. Can cover Fullback and 5/8. I would play him at Fullback, doesn’t really have to defend which is good for his shoulders. Great kicking game and can kick goals. Also if Douhei fails at 5/8(I hope he doesn’t) we have options. Mbye back to 1 and Widdop 6. Only offer a 1 year deal for 300k

3. Scott Sorensen, depth back rower who could nearly get a starting position depending on how Garner goes. 2 year deal for 200k

Aim higher? Angus Crichton? Leniu?

He’s probably talking about 2021. At the moment we won’t be able to sign anyone like that unless they request a release. For 2022 there’s heaps of big name targets to chase after and I’m sure the club will be looking at them

Anyone who is off contract at the end of 2021 is up for grabs now.

1. The Cheese, 3 year deal for 600k a year. But I doubt Storm would release with out a player swap. Put the Dogs front runners who might swap Napa

2. Widdop, I know his age and injuries. Can cover Fullback and 5/8. I would play him at Fullback, doesn’t really have to defend which is good for his shoulders. Great kicking game and can kick goals. Also if Douhei fails at 5/8(I hope he doesn’t) we have options. Mbye back to 1 and Widdop 6. Only offer a 1 year deal for 300k

3. Scott Sorensen, depth back rower who could nearly get a starting position depending on how Garner goes. 2 year deal for 200k

You think the Storm would want Napa? lol They want a quality replacement. Same thing rules us out, we don't have anyone they'd want.

Heard on SEN that STORM want the big second rower back( can't think of his name) that signed for the TITANS if the CHEESE is going to the TITANS

Why want him back? lol

Titans signed him heaps early in the season when he was barely rated. Melbourne probably gutted in the end losing him seeing him carve up towards the back end lol

He was highly rated early in the season and has been for some time, the Titans just threw money at him that the Storm couldn't (or wouldn't) match. Barely rated forwards don't get contracts worth north of $600K per season.

Tino got a 750k a year contract after playing 5 or 6 games the year before. Titans took a punt and looks like it’s paid off. Still think they’d be a bit worried he follows the trend of players that leave Melbourne and go on to be average.

Adam Blair rings a bell. Gun while at Melb, comes to Tigers and was terrible.

Friend who goes for bulldogs reckons burton to bulldogs in 2021 is a done deal. If true, wonder what that means for Laurie??

Not what I’ve been told. Unless Dogs take others Panthers won’t release due to them having to replace said player for same price. That was 24 hrs ago, so obviously things can change.

Maybe potential wise. But in terms of proven, he had only played a handful of games. A gamble that has now seemingly paid off

Sheens was as much at fault as Blair was,Tim tried to change the way Blair played and it wasnt using his strengths

Sheens was as much at fault as Blair was,Tim tried to change the way Blair played and it wasnt using his strengths

Exactly, I have said it many times, Blair was good at Brisbane and the Warriors too. He wasn’t as bad here as a lot of people made out, but he was poorly used by Sheens, but he missed no games whilst here

Come on Sleeve, the club has made all the right moves to date this off season, gotta have faith they know what they are doing.

I don’t know a lot about Mansour, except he was injured last season, though he did play in the GF, but prior to that he was a gun, if we get a year or 2 from him, may turn out a good deal?

If he earns a spot, it will work out it self.

 

[Newtown]

One thing about Mansour is that he never sits on his laurels. He tries to give 100% every time.

He definitely wasn’t good at either of those teams. Maybe one decent year at Brisbane but that’s it. Every Brisbane and warriors supporter I know and I know a few, couldn’t wait to see the back of him

Ive been impressed with all of the recruitment.,but this does not fit the pattern.You guys are probably right,i need to take a pill'.

 

[JC99]

One of my mates talked to Mansour in person and asked if he’d join the tigers. Obviously Mansour might not be open to fully discussing his plans but he said he won’t be coming to tigers, at this point more likely to stay at Penrith

As with everything in footy, things could change in the matter of 24 hours so don’t take it as gospel 😂
