Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No - I haven't deleted any posts. That isn't what happened and if you look back you'll see what happened. You can read the posts. There are plenty still there.

There is no need to preach to me about racism. I'm not racist and I didn't state anything racist.

Using racism to attack you Earl is weak and unfounded, ignore this bullshit!

Thanks. That was weak sauce that. I should follow my own advice though and just put them on ignore.

My mate from Hull who often gets inside goss said Brooks is a racist.

I have mates that tell me melbourne cup winners every year, -straight from the owners mouth. Some people are so naive !

I thought he owns a few horses….

Actually yeah he might have said he was at the races. I thought he said racist. He's got a thick accent.

If Brooks wants to go we need to make it happen now - crazy to persist any further given our current position on the table, and how much money he is "reportedly" going to cost next year.
Newcastle want him - just don't have much faith in the club to negotiate a deal that benefits us. Just get it done and then sort out Douehi Hastings and Laurie deals if in fact they are in their plans at all.

If our offer to Klemmer offer is independent of Brooks' contract situation (as suggested) I think it would be crazy to release him. Simply because what would do between now and next year with that cap space?
If the only way to secure Klemmer is to release Brooks (which does not seem to be the case) then I believe there is a fair argument to be made. I would still be reluctant and would definitely not do so until we secure a half for '24 be it Hastings or an outside recruit.

like last year when someone called islanders coconuts, no idea about how damaging that into people. I'll always have a crack when I disagree on that (and I did). Racism has no place anywhere.

I don't think that it was aimed at just one individual and give benefit of doubt on what I have seen.

Personally read the initial @Earl one as a poor attempt at joking, but can also understand others taking it as otherwise.

Putting my recruitment hat on atm, Just wondering what your thoughts are on the below players to fill out the 4 remaiing spots we got for 2023.

Matt Lodge
David Klemmer
Tautau Moga
Angus Crichton
Kurt Falls
Jarule Salmon.

On the surface I do not see much fault in these players or any real reason why we cant sign them. I understand if we get Crichton, we might not be able to afford someon like Lodge, but I think these are kids who can help us finally get out of the basement who are still available.

What are your thoughts?

Are you indicating we signed one? If it is Andrew I wont be too excited, but if it is one of the others then I could be really excited...

 

[BAGNF05]

Please select from one of the following most common excuses put forward on this forum for Luke Brooks lack of success at the club (as per his mindless fans):

- It's Benji and Robbie's fault for not letting him run the team
- Madge/Taylor/Potter/Clearys fault
- It's the forwards fault
- "Football anxiety" (okay, it's not a common excuse but it was used and it's my personal favourite)

Forwards

I'm glad you said it first because I wasn't game.

It's sad that some people look for any excuse to put someone down. Racism does happen unfortunitly, but is also used as a tool by fools too often to attack innocent people.

Any one of those would be great but I don't know the last 2.
Is that the dudes name tho? Jarule?

Klemmer - yes but I hope we don't spend too much.
Crichton - he'd be great but he won't come.

I'm sure about the rest of them. I don't think we need Lodge if we get Klemmer.
