Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[851]

This forum cares way too much about players personalities... as long as they work hard at training and work hard on the field let's take them. We can't afford to run background checks on players and only sign charity workers.... McGuire is a grub but he would be a solid pickup and footy is what matters

I'm very proud of the fact our club hasn't ever been seen as purveyers of grubby play.
To the point that even the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Finger" or Tim Simona stuff never left a stigma upon our great clubs name in the same way Storm cheated the cap or Easts Rorters continually seem so flushed for choice or Sharks being found over the cap every year either side of their premiership.
Our integrity is intact.
We are proud.
We signed bone-heads before, the most recent having been dropped last week.
Was it last year McGuire got done for eye-gouging?
Let us not even entertain the thought of having someone of so little repute at our club.
If we limp... we limp like men!


Other big teams (especially forwards) dont respect us
we play nice
we don't play finals

Im sick of limping out of finals contention

I think most teams do respect us, we are quite known for producing the unexpected

Havn't been in contention for a while sure but we make most teams sweat regardless

Incorrect. No one respects us at all. We're generally considered a laughing stock to most clubs and players.

RCG said on radio yesterday after the game, "We can't afford to play like that against the good sides, we will get flogged."
That is what players think of us, nothing will change if we don't

Jeez i liked Amone in CC, he's got that agression that we need in the pack.

Yes he just needs a few weeks in CC for fitness but will make the team soon.
Looked good yesterday considering coming off knee for 1st game

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I could forsee in the future Tuilagi coming off the interchange to give one or both of our second row forwards a break. I like the way he is developing as are Simpkins and Seyfarth. With the shortage of good props, Seyfarth could be in demand from other clubs.

This upsets me.
No respect.
(all the years missing the semis - can't dispute our failures!)
So, one thing to do.
Flog them all.

A shame Cooper in CC side is not eligible he is a good centre, good hands, good defence, and can attack. Far better then TT, Kepoa, and rocks and diamonds JL.

Well if it doesn't, we have the wrong players, and we need to act on that now

Well we really arnt one of the good teams so we can't be too offended. We know who he was referring to

 

[WeststigsRdaBest]

I am a huge brooks fan boy but I’m affraid if he doesn’t improve he’s time here is done...I’d be giving Milford a low one year deal....with doueihi our main long kicker I feel Milford could really strive ball playing around the middle and his attacking kicks close the line would be a real asset..he’s still not old and done like Reynolds but would be a risk still as he’s been woeful the last couple of years...a risk yes but we really aren’t going anywhere with brooks

That quote should be pinned up in the locker room and all our players read it. It should fire them all up massively.

Likely none are even bothered by it though and we have a week from Tiger's own media about our 'improved effort'.

 

[Cairnstigers]

I’d target the following underrated players.

Hymel Hunt
Phoenix Crossland
Harley Smith Shields
Siosifa Talaki
Isaac Lumelume
Paul Turner
Keenan Palasia
Brandon Trindall

The only bigger name players available which make sense but won’t happen are.
Xavier Coates, Jayden Sua, Lachlan Fitzgibbon.

Souths may look at offloading a player in order to keep Reynolds
So don't rule out Jayden Sua
Souths wouldn't have to pay a cent to release him
Souths hierarchy may buckle under pressure from its own supporters
They would rather keep Reynolds then Sua if push came to shove

Certainly hope so, we have enough moneyball signings. We need to overpay for some strike

I'm not sure if Souths have to release a player but a supporter has used the name of a very highly regarded club official stating that Reynolds will stay. I have no doubt he will if that name is involved.

I have no doubt he will, souths are as dodgy as easts, Reynolds will now sign for a reduced fee to get the extra year/s, and the NRL will sign off on it

We've had Milford, Hastings and Townshend all suggested as possible replacements. They"re all over the place. Can one of you suggest a viable option?
