Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

if we can sign Thompson with the dogs chipping in around $350k I think that's good business. but again, do we need another front rower?

centre, back row, lock, backup fullback, winger. those have to be the targets.

agree if the dogs can chip in 350k it is worth it not essential but adds experience to the pack.
Centre woukd be number one priority

Surely if Thompson was that good they would find a way to keep him.

When you spend like drunken sailors as they have been, this no longer applies.

Drunken sailors? Or roster priorities? Either way, they’re headed for cap trouble and it’s clear they don’t think Thompson is working for them.

Egan Butcher has re-signed with the Roosters. 2 year deal. NEXT!

Lol we can’t even resign Mikaele and Seyfarth

With the emergence of Blore and Tuilagi, do we really need another second rower? Unless they’re origin players I think it would be a waste.

All other areas I agree. I also think we lack a big minute front rower to partner Stefano. Tamou hasn’t done the job and Twal is better off the bench IMO.

If true there is another one to add a massive list of players who have said no thanks. The last few are happy to stay where they are and remain in the que for a first grade job.

Back to the drawing boards for the 100th time

We seriously might as well recruit from the UK. No one wants to come to us. Our management needs a clean out

I can't recall a team ever going after so many players and landing none of them. It must be some kind of record.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed in our recruitment efforts.

May as well start recruiting forum members at this rate.

this is getting silly now
we miss Egan butcher

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Signing Thompson we could have an international front rower and a state of origin front rower for next year good signing with a player like twal from the bench becomes a good pack


Definitely have the money $$ Reynolds, McQueen, Packer, Mbye, Leilua etc.

Depressing, seeing those names.
?


The grub was a favourite haha
Same scenario not his fault severely overpaid

How has the Grub performed in the UK?

What we need to realise is we are not a top 8 side. We need to pay slight overs to jag the top talent. Money talks sometimes. We will forever be stuck on the bottom end of the ladder with the way we recruit.

We are no chance of Hellum Luki. Forget about it. Probably made a tight offer for him too

We’re heading into the 9th inning and on the wrong end of a no hitter.

We won't be the only ones at the bottom of the ladder. The bottom 8 are only recruiting leftovers most of the time. Same teams in the top 4 every year. Not enough depth of players and coaching staff to be honest.

We haven't had a a decent top line recruit on ten years. Doubt much will change.

So disappointing. Would have been a great signing had we got him.

Bulldogs have zero continuity and no spine, Trent Barrett will be on the centreline line by mid May

They’ve signed Dufty and Burton? Their spine will be better than ours.

Dufty is dreadful. Sure he produces the odd attacking masterpiece however defensively he's like Nofo from Wish.
