Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

Just to cheer up the panel, the ex nrl junior at work ( lives the game) was talking up Laurie today and thinks he’s possibly future marquee.

No, I didn’t prompt him.

understandable letting Madden go,but will miss him,the kid has it,just needs a leg up

This.

 

[Merlot]

This.

May to score to clinche the GF-opinions-lol

 

[Tiger_claws]

We should sign Jakob Arthur

Its not often we could say a certain player wouldn’t make our 17 but he is one that wouldn’t cut it, even with us.

I watch a bit of super league and I am hoping one of the supposed guys we are talking to is Mikolaj Oledzski (spelling could be wrong.) He is a prop from Leeds. He is Big, mobile, good footwork and can tackle. I know NRL is a step up from SL but this bloke looks the goods. Really keen to see how he goes at the World cup.

Umm... concerning it looks like your autocorrect has "women's wear" Hal! 🤣

Yeah, apologies, obviously meant to be womens World Cup.

Just watched him play against Catalans. He looks good. Only 23.

There hasn't been a great deal of announcements made by any club. Mainly resignings. Think that'll be all we'll see until Nov 1.

I’m expecting a backlog clearing mid November.

No more talk about Jason Bateman - can't see him leaving Hollywood and don't know what position he would play.

He's an actor, he would be able to handle most roles.

Some said he's contracted for ages do we ignore that?

The autocorrect mangles every post I make, that’s my excuse

The odd error or whatever, it’s no big deal.

Life is too short and ye olde footy forum is not life or death.

Looking at my shortcomings this year, I backed the late season player loans which ended in utter disaster. Just have to put my hand up for the stupid call. Life moves on son.

 

[coivtny]

Xerri family?

They're wealthy, aren't they?

Older bro is in prison.
Killed some one in a car crash.

I believe they have links with a bikie club....?

Would not be surprised. Sadly, they just appear to be the dregs of society.

There’s a bit of that getting around - players do one thing and the media hangs on about them like they’re an immortal.

Could be a good move for Jock, may very well get a reasonable amount of NRL game time with Reynolds doing time on the sideline with injuries.

Would not be surprised at all if he ends up a very good half like Dearden in a couple of seasons with some good players around him.

I think he would be worth paying the transfer to get him, especially as it would not be part of the salary cap. He runs hard and his defence is good. He certainly would be a significant upgrade on Musgrove.

Madden to Donkeys is a surprise

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Strange move going to the Broncos but good luck to the kid.

Yes, but he’s otherwise brutal about our forwards and has been a long time critic of Brooks.

He’s massive on Hastings and Naden.

We were discussing the staggering wages of the European soccer players last night, compared to our ugly lot who give so much more of themselves physically and spend the rest of their lives injured in some way.

If you’re a young person with the ability, by rights you’d be crazy to choose rugby league.

I’m glad they do, our game is amazing,but you get my drift.

Completely understand your argument but to make it to the level of elite soccer player is about 6386282 times more difficult than to make it as an elite rugby league player

Also, have to disagree about Jock Madden. Ive seen nothing to suggest he is of First Grade standard
