Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Should be offering Reynolds the deal he's looking for.

900k over 2 years would probably get him over the line and would change our game plan massively.

Even Pearce is off contract, not my first choice but we need someone who can kick the ball.

Shop Brooks around and chip in up to 25% should be enough. You'd think there'd be some interest at that.

Just offer him the same length as the rabbitohs deal for double the pay. We have the money. He can mentor Madden and play alongside either of Brooks or Mbye next year. While we are at it. Get Crichton across as a backrower to be his protector. Doeuihi can go back to the centre’s, it was as bad as watching Mark Gasnier at 5/8.

If we want sometime to kick the ball we definitely don't want Pearce. The bloke is just as bad at kicking as brooks, he rarely finds the grass

Disagree. He's not great, but he's a massive step up from Brooks. Sounds like he's signed a contract anyway so doesn't matter, but we'll see the difference next week.

I think he's a better player overall for sure but he's a pretty average kicker of the footy, especially long kicking. He's famous for kicking right at the fullback every single game

No. I want them to be able to recognise quality and make a player swap that advantages the club. It's called effective negotiation. We strengthened one position and dramatically weakened another. Momo shouldn't have been on the table under any circumstances.

Agree with this.

This is a really good comment,everybody can see the talent in Laurie,but both Joey L and Roberts were always going to have some risk involved

This is a really good comment,Joey L and Roberts were always going to be abit of a risk as starting centres,now after two rounds we can see Momirovski should of been a starter and should not of been let go.Poor decision making here by Madge.

Sam Williams would be decent cheap HB to get this season. At least he has a good kicking game and takes control. You would see a marked improvement in the direction of the side.

 

[Viking Warrior]

Get Volkman from the roosters of we miss out on Reynolds or Hastings

 

[Ultimate Warrior]

Adam Reynolds to 7
Brooks to 6
James Roberts centre
Adam Douhie centre
Corey Oates wing
Nofo wing
d Laurie fb

no brooks has to go toooooo many chances

Corey Oates? Yuck!

Madge under the pump, player under the pump, no mentions of Hartigan.

Players signed for 2023:
Brooks
Doueihi
Kepaoa
Musgrove
Nofa
Blore
Simpkins
Stefano
Laurie

Can you build a premiership winning side around that? We have signed a bunch of kids which means that we can't replace under performing players in our team. Meanwhile players on the fringe signed on cheap contracts (like Ryan James) look better than the garbage that we trot out week in week out.

Brooks the only real issue in that list. Willing to give kepaoa time as he's not even played 10 games. Rest of that list has a lot of young talent and Nofa who's at his peak currently.

Drown your sorrows BJ.

We really do need to have a chat to Adam Reynolds. Let's not sit around and let him make a deal with Souths, let's offer him a decent contract

Doubt he leaves but worth the try. Tom Dearden or Jackson Hastings good options too. We clearly lack an organising half

 

[JC99]

Also Kotoni Staggs. Surely we are talking to him!!!! We have the money!

 

[finnzo]

We desperately need a half brooks has no kicking game
