Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bones]

In two years what then? We need a long term solution. This is just a bandaid fix.

Where are all the long term options then? There are none that are off contract and slim pickings for next year.

Signing a stop gap option is probably the only choice till we either develop one or have a chance to sign one.

letting hastings go was the right call
if lachie miller didnt sign with them, they would be worse than us

pearce for 2 years, mentor conti and other halves

Hear any signing news?

WT have lost one of its most promising young players in Katoga to the Dogs.

Thanks for the scoop - we all knew this 2 weeks ago.

Sorry to those who support this…but it is a dickhead idea.
Mitch was done years ago.

Brooks? Same same but worse.

Things would have been different if we had looked after Lachlan Ilias.

Please, Illias is a bottom 3 half. He still looks ordinary surrounded by origin players. Imagine him with our plodders.

I thought the dogs would appeal to him.

But there would be Poodles galore where he currently is.

 

[Demps]

think you will be disappointed mate

And 95% of the fan base.

Club killer

Wonder if kiraz would be a viable option at fullback. Could be an Edwards type fullback.

No way dogs let Kiraz go

At the end of the year with the Newcastle negotiations the club and brooks management came to the agreement that if he didn't leave the club for Newcastle that Brooks would be guaranteed to be at the club in 2024 brooks isn't going anywhere soon

If a formal contract hasnt been signed, a guarantee means nothing. Yes, certainly if Brooks form permts it yes, but at the moment his form stinks. If they did a Heads of Agreement so loved by Hagi, it means nothing in real life beyond an intent, as it didnt help us get JAC did it?

Edit- the club has to make hard decisions based on form and demonstrated ability- especially for a veteran of so many years. No more potential for players of that length of service against actual performance.

If that’s true whoever agreed to it should be shown the door because, on current and long term form, if he is here it will be in reggies.

 

[weststigerman]

Hastings wouldn't have been the answer either IMO. He isn't setting the world on fire this season at the Knights.

He's much better than what we have.

if they gave AD the 1 year extension seems like Brooks will likely get the same which would take both past Sheens tenure as coach and allow benji a clean slate. Would also give the club a chance at Williams in 2025

see if I am wrong mate

Pearce stuff seems made up to put shit on tigers

 

[Magpies1969]

Why didn't didn't WT go hard for Lachlan Miller and Braydon Trindall from the Sharks???

Happy not to sign Pearce and say goodbye to Brooks and AD after this season.

Surely there is some halves in other clubs not getting a go that will be better than Pearce and Brooks?

Trindall, Taaffe, Hawkins, Volkers would be worth considering as long term solutions,
