Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

To be honest has there been a rumour in the past 2 months that has come to fruition? Think Sheens being back has stopped the leaks. I haven't heard anyone with a player rumour to be right yet.

Maybe we stop with continuous rumours and just state our personal preferences.

Aitken and Crichton most recently
 
I like the signing rumours and it is up to the discerning supporter to determine the fodder from the chaff. Just remember they are all rumours until confirmed by the club no matter how juicy.

As for the other, players have feelings and they also have parents, wifes, girlfriends, partners and friends so keep away from personal matters. Demonstrate respect.
 
If we have 1 roster spot to fill by 30 June, who could it be? Here is some speculation based on recent rumours & availability & likelihood.

Me thinks it will be a middle forward since it was Mikaele's departure who has created this spot and we now need to sure up our depth in this position for the remainder of the season (as I don't think T&T option Austin Dias is up to NRL standard, which leaves us Seyfarth, Pole & Tuki Simpkin).

- Matt Lodge (as much as he could add, I don't think we would from a PR standpoint & he would want to come straight into Top 17 so would have to knock out Tamou, Uto, Musgrove or Twal - could upset the applecart).
- Franklin Pele (strangely not named in any of Sharks teams last weekend & has been previously rumoured as a target, I see him as ideal as no qualms starting in NSW Cup and has ingredients we lack in the middle, would sit behind Seyfarth in the pecking order).
- Kade Dykes (based on previous rumours & would would provide that backup fullback option so T'oa can concentrate on centre/wing, has plenty of development potential & x-factor we need in the spine).
- Luke Thompson (if Bulldogs take Lodge & release Thompson. They would have to pay 50% of his salary for this season & a portion into the future. A chance if Tamou has committed to retire at season's end as provides that experience/leadership in pack).
- Jack Hetherington (not likely to return before Round 19 so we gain little for this season except it might be tempting for Jack. Gives us sureity & a backrow option into next season & time to gel with the boys).

So my top 3 likelihoods at this stage are 1 - Pele, 2 - Hetherington, 3 - Thompson.

Any others to throw into the mix that could advantage other clubs if released from their contracts?

Remember when we had willie Mason , and some fans had a sook , so they reneged on the deal . For me , that was the “never listen to bay 39” lesson learnt . Because that was short sighted at best .

I would like a real fullback.
Not a centre, 5/8 or winger trying to impersonate one coz they want more money, or the coaches are trying to manufacture one.
A fullback that's played fullback all their life, knows how to direct defence, when to chime in, can pas left and bloody right, and most importantly catches the ball on the full.
Is this Kade Dykes?

I dunno what your talking about ? I went on there , and still do . There’s good blokes there , and good blokes/ women here (not you) .
I joined because I disliked the way you guys went about it . And I still do .
And look , your still up to the same pathetic stuff you were always up to .
Why do guys like you get to make something so shit , that you have to leave to get a decent conversation that isn’t marred in agendas and childish behaviour.
So no. I will continue to call you out , and hopefully it will give others reason to do the same .
Its laughable really . Because there’s no way you would have this much to say to me straight up if this was in person . Not because of me , but more because I just know guys like you would never .
