Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Adam Elliot and Kerrod Holland are 2 cheap off contract options from the Bulldogs that I would take.

Adam Elliot could be another Dale Finucane if given a good chance in 1st grade. Good strong edge player.
Holland - safe, good finisher, very good goal kicker (which we do not have).

Kallum Watkins from Leeds is the centre i would target if you want a top class centre. Big, strong, can depend.
I know everyone is going on about Packer but is that we really want????
I would personally like to see us get Chris HIll from Warrington, Palu or Paasi from the Titans or even Brenton Lawerence (although injuries are major concern and age )
If you also want a decent back up half, i would grab Darren Nicholls (in fact i would grab him now) - killed it in QLD Cup and was our u/20's captain a while back. Much better than Littlejohn.

No real superstars but solid players that would fit in with our current players and also strengthen our squad.

I would like as to sign a good young half/ 5/8, If Brooks does not work out ( I think he will ) we have a replace ready to go.

Latrell Mitchel won't come here to play centre

IMO Mitchell is the hands-down top fullback prospect if we are legit about replacing Tedesco properly and Roosters have any salary cap issues.

Tui Lolohea is alright but not in Mitchell's class, I reckon the kid will really come good in the next few years if given a FB role. He won't achieve it in the centres I don't believe.

I'd go after Mitchell to fill Teddy's spot at FB, I was hinting at Mitchell wouldn't want to come here only to play centre but could be tempted here if he was given the FB position.

I agree if we are serious this is the guy hands down I'll be sad if we don't put in a big bid

. The reason for the blowup by the Moses camp is it cost him a few hundred thousand dollars p.a.

Brings a smile to my face if really true. :roll

These blokes held the club to ransom for an extended period. Moses refused to sign anything last year except his extension at the last moment.

I wouldn't release Moses until end of season unless it suits us.

I notice uncle Bennie was commenting on Tigers recruitment… can't he just focus on Parra going forward. (how is that Rozelle development going? Providing a roof for the homeless i guess)
 
I'd keep Joel Edwards. Under Cleary, his game - and let's face it, it's only about hitting hard - is simplified. He can do that job O.K. We need some 'average' players in the squad.

Joels a good squad player. If he was at Melbourne and off-contract, half the forum would be demanding that we sign him.

I agree. To some, if you aren't a star you are a bum. Edwards cops it unfairly imo. No, he isn't going to win you games, but he does his job.

Yeah hes ok. But we already have a defending forward in ET.

Agree, need squad depth too. He wouldn't cost much and the squad roster is 30 players for next season. Does his job with no fuss.

I don't agree we need to steer clear of players that are one dimensional in either attack or defence. There are plenty of other options out there.

Has Alex Johnston been mentioned as a fullback option for WT off contract wants to play full back very speedie

I haven't seen a lot of his games at fullback but
from what I have seen he doesn't look comfortable at fullback. I think his a winger who can fill in if needed but not a full time NRL fullback.
