Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think we we still do need another prop .. with Woods and Ava gone, I see Anthony Cherrrington is still available from Souths. I believe the guy carries a few off field suitcases filled with luggage .. but hey unless we get a prop out of the World Cup teams, there ain't too many big guys left. Papers have us looking at the pommy back up front rower Alex Walmsley .. any thoughts on him .. he's big, clummsy, but is he any good .. ??

hes a unit. would be a great addition to our pack

Matulino, Packer, Twal, Sue, Grant, Eisenhuth, Rochow, Felise…we don't particularly need another prop. If we were going to go after one what we are lacking is impact props. Walmsley plays as a big minute metre-eater and doesn't really fill that role well.

Sign TKO!

He is getting jipped if he’s only on $150k per year. Great player

But that's just it President Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon, the Chooks have the paper work to prove he's only only $150K, but how much $$ is in the BPB ?? TPP's are not included in the salary cap, so he could be getting an extra Mil for all we know. Can u in your best Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon voice, go and fire Uncle Nick for every1 he's undermining the game .. !!!

I think Ivan may well head into this coming season with who we have now , he may wait and see how the guys perform through the pre season and early trials before deciding if we need to spend more , we may be able to compete with what we have , we were going ok towards the end of last season and we are a better team on paper so maybe it's a wait and see game .

While we may be solid, it is obvious we lack genuine pace and height on the wings. This needs to be addressed asap.

Wing is the last position which will be addressed. We have a stack of players in this position. We are with them, like it or not, for at least a couple of years.

We need a top 30 so, we'll see 2 more signings. Wether that's just 2 ISP players getting promoted or 2 completely new signings is something we'll have to wait and see.

I think we really need to wait.
Roosters are offloading props, Canterbury still have cap issues. We seem to have hired a lot of backrowers too see who will step up. We have a lot of front rowers, we even have a little depth in the halves. Probably lacking in the fullback stakes with only Tui, but that's fine.

What we have seen is that when a rush of players enter the market, we can get a good deal. Reynolds is an awesome 5/8 and his price is good. But I am sorely regretting not signing Cronk, Pearce, Maloney or one of the great halves that are on the market now.

Cronk in particular would be the one player we should have gone for. Our season would rest on him, but he would impart that positional organisation from Melbourne. It would mean Brooks accepts a bench spot.

We should save our pennies and wait.

We have Nofo and Fonua, after that who are all these players

Off the top of my head, naiqama, Thompson, MWZ, Suli, Milne all have first grade experience on the wing. I’d love to have addo-Carr and vunivalu on the wing over them, but we have decent depth on the wing.

Well there's also MWZ & Thompson and I suppose Milne and Kev could play there if need be. I guess we're a bit more covered there than in previous years, but I certainly would still like to see someone with height and speed on our flanks. I reckon we should go hard to get Corey Oates for 2019\. Can be difficult to get players to leave Brisbane, but worth a try, especially if we still have some coin to spend.

And I don't think you could call either of them superstars.

Milne would have to be a serious option for the wing position with his showings in the world cup.
