Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[balmain boy]

I reckon we should make a play for Tabuai-Fidow. He has the pace and x factor we lack. Can play anywhere in the backline. Can speak to him from Nov, but make it known how much we'll offer and try get him next year.

That young backrower Heilum Luki looks decent too

Luki's length of the field effort to chase down Walsh was brilliant, he was very unlucky that Walsh scored anyway.

Went out to Lidcombe yesterday, young Fitzgibbon has improved out of sight from the start of the season. If he keeps improving at this rate he might be ready next season. Pace to burn and seems to be a real character

How was Simpkin ?

Mate the Flegg side was the one to get excited about, their structure in both defence and attack was top notch and everything they do is at speed. Ogedon..excuse my spelling if I got it wrong, is a class above this age group. Anyway they were clinical in their execution.

If you get a chance, it’s a great day out at Lidcombe. Beer is pub price or better, sausage sizzle and just a fun day. Madge was standing near me in the crowd along with most of the Dragon top grade who were cheering on De belin. It was just like going to a bush game.

What’s it cost to go in and watch mate? I might have to get the kids down to watch the next game there ?

Sorry for the delay getting back to you..been out, anyway 10 for a adult 5 for a pensioner and not sure about kids, guess it would be free or 5 bucks. Kids allowed on the field at half time. Worth doing if you get a chance

Just looking ahead..... we have 22 players now signed for next season (includes Gildart and the COs on JTJ and Joey).
Of those coming off contract this year I would look at re-signing only Liddle, Mikaele and Seyfarth. Let go of Walters, MCK, Cini, Amone, Packer.

Amone? Why?

Amone has played good games in reggies had one short stint against St George should get more game time over the coming weeks then we can form an opinion

I doubt Fidow would ever leave QLD.

Concord is in QLD ?

Expect us to sign an outside back that we missed out on the last time he hit the market.

Too be fair, if he is any good, that list will be long, we never nail the really good sought after ones

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

DWZ is too expensive.

I'm still hoping Allan Fitzgibbon is going to be a break out star.

He's improving scoring tries but will need to improve defensive aspect if his game to become a regular FG player his young and has time on his side.

Auburnon80, that you?

And if DWZ, not bad for the right price.

Obvs everyone could, but we need to find an X-factor in the backs. Perhaps Laurie or AD can turn into that guy. Maybe Simpkins in the forwards if he keeps growing.

Yes and yes. Trying for this year

Thanks. He's versatile at least, covers a few positions and frankly, we don't have much depth in the backs. Hoffman isn't banging down the door, AJ will be out for a long time and Ogden is young. It would signal that BJ is not going to be resigned.

What's he like off the field? Would he be a good person to have around the younger boys?

He would be great if you want someone to show them how to drop a high ball, knock-on, or offload to an opposition player.

Might be good in "C" Grade....for someone else.

Does Ogden have the potential ? Does fitzpatrick.? Can we keep them without a contract ? I'm not sure how it works, the same with others with potentials.

haha we won't keep them without a contract, no. Both certainly have potential, Ogden seems to have more experience playing the game and is a better shot at making it for mine. Both are excellent athletes and not afraid of contact.

Keep an eye on Franklin Pele for the sharks this afternoon. Contracted until 2022 but we’ve been chasing hard and offering big coin. I don’t know much about him but I suppose we get a chance to have a look at him this afternoon

he's been good every time Ive seen him, if that isn't the kiss of death, nothing is haha

 

[swag_tiger]

The NRL App has Pele as 0kg and 0cm. He's not big enough if that's the case.

Does he have approval from the Sharks to negotiate?

$5 per person for Flegg.

Story in the paper today we signed Brett Kimmorley for pathways and development, also to help with the halves, and signed Matt Betsey (head of cricket academy) to help him out.
Will help us out a lot I think, they also referenced former Campbelltown juniors, so maybe looking to do more out that way

They're about 120kg off he's a monster

Was former Magpie/Tiger Shannon Gallant employed in that role?

Brett Kimmorley was once our 20’s coach as well.nice appointment.
