Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yep pretty sure his off field issues stemmed from getting on the grog

@balmain boy likes it on the bog, so we’d be like-for-like

Huh?

 

[TieDye]

Huh?

Just saying, hire Paul Carter or myself and the difference is negligible. Much like grog bogs and bog rolls, one will have you sorted and the other will have you running. Neither good for the club

Jesus wept, if we are discussing signing Carter, Siro and Sita we might as well give up. What a pack of useless bastards, I would rather give young kids a go over these bludgers sucking up cap money.

I’d rather give my kids a go, they’d have one. Desperate times equals… yep you guessed it

My understanding is, the review will be completed by 12th June. No idea when, if any, public statements will follow.

How can there not be any public statements? Supporters have the right to know what is going on. Not in regards to recruitment, but who the coach is need to be addressed.

I agree, I’m just saying I have not heard anything and usually when the chair talks about the review and it’s schedule you’d expect to hear something relative to that.
I don’t think this review is quite the witch-hunt as reported by journalists. It’s obviously more like the previous review, which revealed road blocks in recruitment, and with the signings of Api and Papi it appears those issues are sorted.

If we look to sign any Sirro... I'd look at Bayley first always rated his workrate higher than Curtis'

Great idea 👍🏽 Surley the club is looking at this

Bayley would be far better. would be trying to get him out of his deal for 2023 on compassionate grounds. he's basically an upgrade on Seyfarth in terms of what he offers off the bench.

Thoughts?

I'm on the fence. Has speed & finishing ability but in games I have seen is prone to the odd missed tackle on opposition winger & handling error.

But in saying that, would give us 3 viable options on the wing in Maumalo, Nofoaluma & him, as well as fullback depth.

"He (Staines) remains best friends with Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton, who is a free agent on November 1 and can then negotiate with rival clubs for the 2024 season."

I'd be happy with this double signing with Brooks to go to Bulldogs for a fresh start.

If we could off load Nofo he would be a handy pickup but that would be the only reason for me.. We have more issue in the forwards to address IMO

Staines is a nuffie

I've read b4 McDonnell is a fan.

The Wests Tigers have opened negotiations with Daine Laurie about an extension after meeting with his manager on Monday. Laurie is on a bargain-basement deal with the club for less than $200,000 this year.

That increases to about $350,000 next year for the final season of his three-year deal with the club. The Tigers are willing to upgrade and extend his deal.

How much he could earn will depend on how well he finishes the season.

Question mark over Staines’ future at Penrith

Mitchell was hoping to get two games under his belt before Fittler names his team for game two, however the Rabbitohs are leaning on the side of caution.

No thanks to shite staines.

 

[jrtiger]

would rather us promote a winger from within as opposed to going after Staines. Scolari, Bula, Peni and Tupou would all be worth a look.
