Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bones]

Don’t feed into the the rubbish being portrayed about Hastings being a question mark due to his injury.

It’s a similar injury to what Laurie did last year and he’ll miss 1 less game than Luke Brooks given he played on the weekend.

It’s taken Daine Laurie 12 months to get back to playing his best footy.

While you may technically be right about the number of games you really can’t compare a torn calf to a broken leg that requires surgery.

The fact Hastings isn’t a player who relies on his speed or agility probably makes it a little bit easier to come back from but he’s going to miss the majority of the off-season which is less than ideal.

This makes no sense, he would be in the same position with all them teams as he is here , these rumours are put out by his manager to get him a upgraded contract here .

Maybe, maybe not, though the fact that Madden is unsigned with less than a month of the regular season left remains.

As I have stated a while back, don't have a problem with him being re-signed as a backup half, and seems obvious that the whole NRL club wise sees things similarly.

if Newcastle do not get a 7 next year they finish last
if they want to ride out 2023 with a 10 game first grader like Madden go for it.
do not give them Brooks
2023 needs to be
7. Brooks
6. douhie
13. Hastings

Journalists might read the forum but there are plenty on this forum who will continue posting about this nonsensical "swap".

People please take note. Journos lurk around.

Just read that 4 other clubs are interested in signing Madden. Penrith, Newcastle, titans and cronulla. We need to get this sorted urgently, being reported he will make a decision in the next week or so on his playing future.

not as starting halfback they are not except Newcastle and Gold Coast.
Penrith and cronulla he would be back up like he will be here if he signs for 2023

We can share the bottom of the table with them, persisting with Brooks.

don't think so

They read the forum and write shit in the paper example below -
Tigers knock back Klemmer trade
17:09
Wests Tigers deny they are in trade negotiations with Newcastle over axed prop David Klemmer.
Klemmer has been dropped by the Knights this week, who said it was punishment for yelling at a trainer, but rumours are circulating the Hunter club is trying to offload the former Origin star.
One suggestion was Klemmer could go to the Tigers, in exchange for halfback Luke Brooks.
But Sydney Morning Herald journalist Christian Nicolussi tweeted incoming Tigers coach Tim Sheens denied that was an option.

I was waiting for a fish here. You sure pulled it in, good catch.

Might finish the year with more wins than Brooks... see what happens.

Daine Laurie did his knee in the early rounds. It wasn't the broken leg that stopped him.

If hastings was a fullback or a centre his injury would be concerning but he's not, he's a lock yo, who cares if he loses a bit of mobility, that's not why he's in our team. Hastings and Doueihi are our future captains!

Hope so. Even without looking at who our WT are to play, and the players missing, still reckon we are a better chance than under our previous coach.

Within reason, each and every week, the further that we get away from the stifling past few years, the further we should progress.

I hope so too.

Isn't the easiest of draws.

We've got sharks, roosters, raiders.
Always harsh games for us.

I'm over discussing Brooks.
Just want us to win more games and push for finals, moving forward.

All teams above us on the ladder, but that's not hard when there is only the Titans below.

I don't want the spoon, so a win or two would be nice, as would a signing or two to finish off the year.

In the perfect world,
We extend Madden & release Brooks.

Really, as you wrote this recently just above?

A professional would likely call it an obsession.

I've never said i hate him....

Just seen enough to know he isn't what this club needs.
