Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[bathursttiger1]

Eels apparently join the race for Brent Naden

Apparently they are the front runners for Reynolds too

If they did sign him who might be the 'casualty' in their roster? We can only hope.

Yep word is Moses will be the one let go ?????

Maybe he could see Woods and get the old gang back together, somewhere other then at WT’s.

I see Titans pulled there offer for Staggs.... Do we at least have a chat to him as we lose BJ this year and will have the money.. Maybe 700K ?

Yah throw BJ and Mbyes money at him please. Absolute beast.

Staggs wants to play 6 at Broncos

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Eels apparently join the race for Brent Naden

So we’re currently his third choice?


Jury is out on Naden for me, I'd want to see him in a podcast before we commit.

if he says the right thing in a podcast sign him.... oh wait

This anti vs pro Brooks debate is starting to get as tedious as Wests vs Balmain. Everyone regurgitates the same opinion over and over.

At least we moved on from Wests vs Balmain..... progress

Just a question about Naden, plenty here saying he is coming with baggage.
Has he done/been caught doing anything else bar the white powder incident last year?
Seems a bit rough to draw a line through the kid for one indiscretion, albeit a fairly stupid one.

pages and pages of "nah he's better" "no he's not"

I'm pretty curious to see how Hastings goes, hopefully it works out for him and the club.

Toby Rudolf is off contract? Tigers should be all over that. He's a great lock in the Nathan Brown mould.

Staying with Sharks I hear. Strong player.

Yeah I would be surprised if he left. We've got the coin to make him a decent offer though. Love how he plays!

.......................and he loves Northies!

I'm wondering if Hastings will be our biggest signing for 2022 ....hope not ...a few forwards that can bend the line and scare the bejesus out of attackers would be nice

 

[hank37w]

I thought the Pom was saying Naden had signed a letter of intent which means nothing.

Inspector Gadget will tell you otherwise, meanwhile he signs somewhere else.

One thing I find interesting is that Trent Merrin retired yesterday and what a nice gesture of forfeiting 350k just for the love of the club.......

Please, No way a player that is finishing up just walks past 350k without some kind of future job / payment coming.. That's a lot of money in anyone's terms..
Something very suss to me

 

[Bigscreentv]

I have a theory...with signings in recent times we could end up with:

1 - Edene Gebbie
6 - Daine Laurie
7 - Jackson Hastings
13 - Adam Doueihi

The only comment I saw was "agreed to terms". Didn't see anything about an LOI or any written commitment.

If he was at the filth of the league a 400k office job straightening paper clips would be on the agenda,however he is at the dragqueens so it is a mere 275k

Nice theory .. Gebbie rubs with speed and determination .. but has he the hands and game management to play fullback .. ??

I see Gebbie as a Radradra style player on the wing. He’s got the pace and strength, he could be anything.

Some Sheensian thinking!

Gebbie is a winger and shall stay on the wing!
Also, Laurie signed to play the FB!
So,

1 Laurie
2 Fitzgibon
3 Cini
4 Cooper
5 Geddie

Re Trent Merrin... I agree, but I can also see it the other way.

When you see Simon O'dwyer, Alex Mckinnon, Jarred McCracken and Taniela Tuiaki. You get a physical sense of how limited league players can be. If you have a mortgage to pay and other obligations well I can see you playing on. If you don't and you start thinking "well I might be fired" or worse "I could be in a wheelchair", I get why you might pull out. I recently knocked back about +40K because I needed to spend time with the family, while I miss that income, no regrets and I am not facing a wheelchair like Trent may be.

I suspect Trent is now in the category of Arron Woods, Tau Pau and a few other big forwards. The games fast pace is too fast for their size. I am kind of surprised he did not see the year out, I believe the St George coaching staff would have wanted him there for the year. But in this ruleset he has gone from an A list to a C list forward.

Ofcourse it could be shenanigans. With the Saints explaining that they need the extra cap space and they will have a coaching job ready if he quits now. I don't begrudge them this, heck with how Easts/Storm/etc are roarting the cap I am glad to see the Saints as underdog do well (and I hate their guts).
