Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So we can put a line through young Arthur as a potential Brooks replacement. Gone to Manly, which will probably be good for him, away from the associated pressure of his father.
One less half to contemplate.

Brooks will be here as a 7 or 6 question is do we end up with Schuster, metcalfe, Hawkins, Sezer or someone else to partner him

Wakeham ????

Wakeham ????

At this stage no but the question is at what stage does that become a Yes - if we make the finals with Wakeham or Brooks or win 5 from the next 6 do we keep both

Wakeham ????

Wakeham has done a good job and his kicking is a bonus, but sadly he will not win you a comp or make you a top four team…and that has to be the focus of our recruitment people

The last try where our whole spine combined on the one play should've easily been the play of the week.

The top 10 players of the week was selected by Stevie Wonder.

I know, was really only joking but am very interested to see how far he can develop this season. Was brought in as a nobody but making some contributions now, plus kicking goals.
Think he could do with a little bit of sprint training to sharpen him up a bit !

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Wakeham ????

backup I reckon unless we get a ball playing lock but he is going well

I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Confidence is a funny old thing. He might really find his mojo if we continue to play this way.
What I do like about the kid, he doesn’t seem rushed.

 

[Halbrowne61]

For those who focus on these things, what’s the initial reaction to our new Reggie, Pellow ?
Any signs of talent etc ?
Apart from the announcement, as Sergeant Schultz would say “ I know nuzzing” !

Who says

 

[hsvjones]

So would assume Joe will be released tomorrow if its happening so Eels can name him for this week.

Wonder if we have a signing up our sleeve

It’ll be interesting

With Stef as 19th man maybe we hold back.

Not an NRL prospect, average reserve grader.

Of the remaining Warriors halves after Johnson & CTH....I'd want Te Mare Martin.

Cool head, classy ball player, and there's the former Tiger link to add as well.

Oh- and unlike the others- he's proven at NRL level.

 

[weststigers]

You're wrong.

He needs to know what's going on across the organisation, yes sure, agreed. But he is NOT part of teh football department, he has no insights into teh type of players we do or don't want. His only part in recruitment is signing the contract, and potentially helping source Third party deals. That's it. Neither Pascoe or Lee should ever be present at a standard recruitment meeting.
Does the head coach not outline the vision of the organisation? Occasionally, particularly for high profile players, there may occasionally be a need to get the band together as a show of force and answer any additional questions. But in reality both these two have been embarrassed almost every single time they've done ANYTHING footy related! Pascoe would get the low down across department in a meeting with department heads, he should not be attending meetings that don't concern him, that's micromanagement, and a turn off for prospective employees

Maybe they just enjoy each others company? Have you never had lunch with a co-worker?

 

[weststigers]

It’s great we are starting to show what we are capable of, but no doubt we still need depth in certain positions.
I can’t believe we wouldn’t have signed Jane Arthur instead of Manly, he would have been much more chance of pushing for a regular NRL spot with us.
Likewise Conner Tracey, he would have fitted in at left centre like a glove.
Surely we now get Luke Metcalfe and not lose Joffa for this season.

Jake Arthur? What is with the push for this guy? He is average at best!

 

[hank37w]

Good move for young Jake to get away from the noise at the Parrasites.

Hope he goes okay over the Origin period.

Connor Tracey would have been a very good pick up.

the question asked the other day,why did Wakeham stop taking conversions? just a theory.2 keep B Hodgson ;s record of 9 goals (x2) in a match intact

The way he pulled up after getting in the clear I'd say there was a twinge somewhere or suffering from cramp.
