Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Russell]

ears.

Hynes is a good player - I don't care who made it or not from the Storm bench, that doesn't apply to him.

When you are talking about dopes like Hastings and Naden as examples - Hynes is a shining light.

If we need a centre or winger - how about we try to get one that doesn’t come with so much excess baggage

Agree about the second half of the comment.

We need stability and tallent from our new recruits.

People need to stop suggesting moving players around! This is one of the main reasons we struggle. The best teams have a spine that have played together for years! Our spine is 2 games strong! People are already suggesting to change it for next year? Then we start again! 1,6,7 sorted and 9 looks set for a while even tho Simpkin will definitely be an option for us in the near future. No to reynolds. There’s a reason Souths won’t offer him more than one year and he won’t make any difference if we play the way we did first 2 games. Lachlan Lewis weights about 40kg... idk how some people think he can play lock. Would much prefer hastings if that was the case.

2 players that would be great buys are Naden (center or wing) and Nicho Hynes (wing but quality fb and halves depth) hynes wants a full time gig somewhere next year, he most likely won’t get that at the storm. These 2 will give us strike and would be very affordable. We also need a meter eating big bopper for next year.

Nico Hynes is a great Idea . Is he a winger though ?

He plays fullback, wing and last night he played as hooker.

So that's Mbye your talking about right ?
We already have a jack of all trades master of none
We need a specialist winger or Centre if Talau was to move to lock
But I think Talau moving is a long way off
Now getting Nico in to Play 14 would be OK if you rate him over Mbye
And I am not so sure he is better of at his standard yet
But at a third of Mbyes price we'll then yes
As this frees up $ for elsewhere

Put me on record - Hynes is twice as good as Mbye.

If we manage to flog off Mr Moneybags" - Hynes is a ready made replacement who can play 1, 2,3, 4,5 6, 7 and 9 and player every position better than Mbye, also has a kicking game, plays with enthusiasm, good passing game, good defender and a lot more value.

Why would Nico come here to play the same role he plays at the Storm? Players never seem to be as good once they come from the Melbourne system anyway.

He looks better due to Munster, Smith, Papenhuyzen and Hughes. It is these types of players we need to identify at junior level either within or outside our system. We have no trouble attracting the Hynes' type players and don't need another.

Nico Hynes is a great Idea . Is he a winger though ?

Nah. He's a utility, mostly plays in the halves, fullback or centre.... remind me of a bloke we've already got! He's a decent 14 but personally don't think he's good enough to be a starter at many clubs.

He's a real candidate to be overpaid by someone because Storm.

Hopefully we aren't silly enough to be that team.

If he’s off the bench at Melbourne, he’s good enough to start here

Yeah nah. He's a solid player but what position would he start at for us? He's an okay fullback and an okay half and an okay centre. He would be our 14

Could easily start in the centre’s

Absolutely GNR - has a good kicking game as well. Would leave Hastings for dead - even as a lock.

Who's he starting over at centre? Talau is a great prospect and Roberts is better. If Hynes came here he would be on the bench playing the same role he would at melborune, haven't we had enough utilities who don't really have A position ?

He's a solid player but don't think we need him. We need a specialist winger and a back rower more than anything.

It’s a pointless conversation as I doubt we’re signing him

Is he even off contract? I thought he committed to storm last year

Great little player, if we need a centre I would definitely be looking at him

He's off contract end of 2021 season.

Yeah like Farnsworth ...certainly puts his ass on the line every week

Yes to Haynes, but only if he is at low risk salary, max 400k!

I can't see Haynes playing NRL again.

I wouldn't mind a low risk salary like that...

I don’t know why but his name and look is more like that of a rugby player. Could see him playing for the Rebels on big money adding no value.
From what I see he looks lame. Needs a hair cut too.

I don't doubt Naden has talent, however not sure if he can be a consistent quality NRL player for years to come. I must say I haven't had much time for him as a person - he is a lippy tool and a hot-head on the field and off the field has proven to be a jackass.
On the other hand, he is young and maybe he can settle down with the right guidance - the WT's current program may well be a good fit for him. Having him at his best would certainly provide some depth and strike in the centres and potentially on the wing where his big frame could be handy. Perhaps a 2 year deal with a further option in the club's favour.

Are we actually entertaining this thought of getting Naden or is it just rumour?

Chammas reported there's some interest in him from the club in signing him for this year

Naden is a player of interest but only one of many. The Chammas article is not accurate at all

Do you work at the club?

His cricket bestie is on the inside now .....

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I like Hynes as player I just don’t see where he fits here, he’s not a winger I guess he could play there but I’m guessing out of all the backline positions he plays that would be his least suited. We have Laurie at the back AD at 5/8 JTJ & Talau or Joey in the centre’s and Mbye or when fit Walters off the bench. Plus guys like Simpkin and Simpkins coming through pushing for that bench spot. So why would Hynes coming from the storm even glance sideways at us we don’t offer him anything he doesn’t already have at a better club than ours.

You've not been watching broncos this season then obviously. Don't comment on stuff you don't know about, he's been very good in a rubbish team. Not perfect but does well
