Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[ElleryHanley]

Just re watched Hastings highlights looks unreal but he’s up against terrible defence but what took my attention was his kicking game it looked far better than Luke brooks (there not going to put his bad kicks in the highlights but haha)

A lot of things are debatable re Hastings...but one thing he is great at is kicking. He would instantly give us a great kicking game. He would also give us an absolute top class goal kicker.

Hastings to 7 Brooks to 6 and Doueihi to centre do we reckon that’s how it would roll if we got him or would we be trying to shift Brooks?

Scott sAttler reporting that b.smith has signed with the bulldogs for next year.

If true, I honestly can’t fathom how a bottom 4 team like the Dogs can just attract these sort of players, while we still scratch around in the dirt looking for someone half decent - it beggars belief really.

Facilities - i know it's not the entire reason, but it sure does help when you have state of the art facilities at your disposal.

That's why i can't wait for the COE to finish and open up. If you want to play like a professional team you gotta train like one

Dogs train out of Belmore?....State of the art?

See who performs. I wouldn't be moving Doueihi. Let's see if he can handle the spot. His first game last week was a shocker but I think you stick with him for a while yet.

Triple M have just broke on air that Sea Eagles have told Marty T to look elsewhere...

Exactly. Even IF (capital IF) its true that we are chasing Hastings for this year, there is no way he will be playing for at least 6 weeks which is plenty of time to work out who gets shafted.

He can look elsewhere as far as I'm concerned, didn't want to stay with us so go suck eggs somewhere else.

Yes Manly got his best years and they are in the past. Wouldnt drop Joe O, Stef, Musgrove or Tamou for him.

If we get Hastings then Brooks will be playing reggies. That's my take on it.

i cant think of an nrl club that needs him,

Hastings appears seemly a formality, discussions for 2022 have been on going but as it’s been broken all around it’s now clear 2021 is the aim.
This will move very fast, they want him here ASAP so he can do his 2 week quarantine & get straight into the system.

Any idea what the coaching are staff are doing to get this mob to play with some heart and have a go for 80 minutes a week?

Desperately searching for an outside back, specifically a specialist winger.
Trying to get the Billy Walters swap done but went cold last couple weeks but new dialogue opened up yesterday. Isaako less likely with him taking the fullback spot, Corey Oates touted as the new target.

In the event nothing happens with the Broncos & Hastings is gained early Walters may still be released to open a spot for Gebbie who’s settling in well.

What's the go with Brooks? not necessarily contractually but his form and the concerns around that.

Would be a case for $$ fee.
Not sure on amount but $100,000 or there abouts wouldn’t shock me.

Million Dollar question, he showed some great leadership in the pre-season & actually had some great input in attack/plays to execute in game plans but last 2 games he seemed lost/ no confidence.

Yeah, have heard similar, that he was one of the main voices in team meetings etc.

To me he has failed to implement any gameplan at all during the 1st 2 games.
