Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WswWt]

Dogs recruiting better than us.

They are just recruiting players with little upside and for high prices.

The three origin backs have little upside?

Maybe cotric is the only signing with plenty of upside, even then they are apparently playing him at cr tee

This has nothing to do with our signings and rumours!

Just heard that Souths have made Noffa an offer, was on Sunrise this morning.

I will have one input to this thread atm....everyone wetting their pants over JAC,should really understand the game and how different systems and coaching work at this level..

1...JAC has done really well in the Melb system and coaching from Bellamy...
2...The whole team works as a unit and therefore they have won numerous premierships with the core team..
3...JAC finishes well, AFTER the forwards and backs put him in the position to score and they have done their work,his speed is needed to finish off the movement...
4...He is a winger,thats all he has played...huge punt paying him big money to play FB ...unknown commodity....even as a winger $650k is outrageous especially in a team like the Dogs who are rebuilding with a non proven NRL coach....

Just my opinion...because I dont let emotions get in the way of reality,either does Hartigan...

Maybe we should give you a job.

We are not far behind being a very good side in 2022.Somone like Crichton at fullback and Luai at 5/8 along with Laurie would transform the backline.These type of players and a few upgrades from our lower ranks , are what we need and we have the money I,m not suggesting we would be that lucky to get those two. Just 2 quality players and a goalkicker is well within our reach.

I agree we need two high profile recruits who will bring a winning edge and flip the perception. That’s the great challenge facing WT as there arent any available and when they do become available they turn their nose at the club.

Doesn’t make sense? They didn’t go after Fox because they were top heavy with outside backs, but they make an offer for a slower, older player?

Yeah that would be great,but I dont play favourites just skilled ,hardworking players,very similar to Madge,admin could be the place for me....I have excellent people skills and business acumen...you never know really...

Corey Allan has gone to the dogs...

Allan was a winger who they played at FB because he was considered too short to be a flanker. He’s 4cm taller than Nofa. It’s a bogus offer imo.

TT, apologies butting in on your job interview mate, but didn’t dogs sign fox to play wing? Isn’t Allen their new FB?
I’ll just close the door on my way out. ?

Just thinking back to recent history, and thinking what a mess Madge inherited.The signing of McQueen injured and hardly played,Reynolds,the same,Packer played for a short time only,then mostly injured.The loss of Teddy our most promising star,Woodsy our captain and leader,Moses ,still a very good player.Then we have Mbye who never lived up to his price tag.With little money in the cap and lacking talent,we then bought some average players.And some people think Madge could have done more!

 

[The-moP]

We will not let Nofoaluma go to easily .. we have to do what the Storm have done when releasing players .. not releasing them unless we get someone of equal talent in return .. !! So who does the Bunnies have .. that we want .. !!

Neither does your post officer.

I think the rot set in a long time before that. They were the bandaids which didn’t stick.

Hey BAGS, have a look at players off contract in 2022,there are plenty.And i don't believe that crap that we are less chance then others.Titans,Dogs,and others recruited well and they were not favourable locations not long ago.

I know mate, but look at Xavier Coates as an example. Storm, Titans and Brisbane are in the market, not us. And we’re no given to keep our best winger. For the really elite guys, they just brush us.

Yea , you’d almost think these guys knew how screwed we were so instead of just getting any players that could play nrl , like the dogs, they decided to concentrate on elite juniors. You’d almost call it a strategy. Nah not our club apparently all the people working there are muppets, and the guys who run the water for Eagle vale know way more .... apparently .

Somewhat agree,but Mybe $900,000,Mc Queen $500,000 ?Packer and JR, $700,000 ? each.Thats a lot of money invested with little return,thats not easy to recover from.

Maybe he has said Sydney isn't an option ....I just looked at the clubs you mentioned

But I agree with your post ..when you continually miss the top talent questions need to be asked and answered ...especially if we miss the finals again

Could be true but I don’t have time to list all the other stars that have decided against WT, you cannot deny it’s a trend.
