Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

is it true Arthur laundy is behind the Aaron Woods tpa ?

 

[SeanT]

Seriously!!
- Will Smith was a mainstay utility in a top 4 team in 2021...
I can promise you they'd have liked him this year.

He's got 100 NRL games under his belt - The Majority in a top 4 side...
He's costing 50k for the year and will be a handy backup.

He's played 100 more games than the rest of the NRL train and Trialers combined.
This is a decent signing.... You want a reserves team full of kids to get lapped every week again this year?

Common sense not real common on here - There isn't any team not buying Will Smith for $1000 a week.

We won't make the finals next year so how will he improve this team going forward since he won't be in it?

I'd prefer to look into our side for a utility. Not outside. Peachy and Moses have already proven the lack of success we've had in that area.

It makes sense now. He is paying Woodsy to lose games for us.

Will Smith perhaps coverage in 2023 to let Hastings go if he wants to play 7

You spelt Brooks wrong.

Ok, here’s the next big discussion.
Craig Young, recently flicked Chairman of Sr George, is he a contender to oust Lee ?

 

[DJG]

My only question is that I see elsewhere someone said T&T get $1000 a week.
$52k not much to survive on these days ?

52K to train and be fit.. sounds great to me!

aaahhh you must be one of the crew who thought Brooks was gone 2 weeks ago.... not gone yet bro

We don't want to come last, and Brooks ,Hastings, and AD ,all off contract for 2024. along with short contracts that end ,we will have $$$$$$ and plenty of space. None of these contracts are long term.

Neither is Hastings. Brooks is gone in 2024.

Not sure why you want Hastings gone since he was halfback in 3 of our 4 wins this year. Brooks got a duck egg in the 7.

perhaps because Sheens wants Brooks, I don't see Sheens advocating to play Hastings at 7 ???
if Hastings doesn't get 7 in 2023 which doesn't look very likely don't think he will stick around in 2024 either

Hey Demps,as soon as i saw the comments on Brooks , i could see you hovering like the Red Barrons wing man !

 

[Odessa]

Bad enough, the old knees are packing up !
Why, do you ?
It must be those 1000 or more NRL games I’ve watched over the years, standing up catches up with you eventually.
But I’ve got my Naproxen and Osteos to see me through( along with a couple of other little helpers, so to speak).

Berberine 1200mg buy it off eBay mate two aday the first week then 1 day the second week I am not a doctor but it helps me so much the right shoulder is not the best it's just made from a tree no chemicals 100 percent natural or you can find it at a good health care shop it's also great for controlling blood sugar so if you wanted to lose weight it's good for that as well

Absolutely no chance. Strange suggestion.

 

[tony soprano]

Someone called the will Smith signing ages ago was that the pom

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Got 1 out of 2 so far. Let’s see what happens with Dajaern Asi.

A couple of players who may should be considered as 'squad depth' if Brooks does move on and Jake Simpkin also moves on as some have rumoured are Dajaern Asi & Will Smith.

Smith would be good in NSW Cup for his experience and leadership & can be a backup hooker, halfback & fullback.

Asi has previously been on our radar and, interestingly, finished the Qld Cup playing the last 7 games at halfback for the Mackay Cutters.

When AOB gets the punt from Newcastle mid 2023 McDermott will step in and probably sign G Williams for 2024 anyway

I think Sheens is just foxing to get a good deal from Newcastle, but you might be right. As we know, Sheens did think John Morris would be our "Cooper Cronk" and signed Braith Anasta to play 7.

My question was why *you* want Hastings gone. Just because Sheens may think something, it doesn't mean you have to think the same thing.

Common sense in in short supply everywhere today i;m sorry to say.

Commonsense and parochialism are not known bedfellows.
