Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

Expect us to sign an outside back that we missed out on the last time he hit the market.

Auburnon80, that you?

And if DWZ, not bad for the right price.

Obvs everyone could, but we need to find an X-factor in the backs. Perhaps Laurie or AD can turn into that guy. Maybe Simpkins in the forwards if he keeps growing.

Yes and yes. Trying for this year

I don't know who your sources are....
But I feel like this might be another 1 you got wrong.

Happy if i am wrong. I'm not a fan of DWZ

BTW - What have I said before that I've got wrong shabeb

Anyone still keen on signing Hetherington? He was popular on the forum last year.

His aggression does not seem to have any control. With the new rules he could be in the bin and suspended a lot. I would like to see him get through a few games with discipline first.

DWZ isn't an amazing signing but I don't think he's a terrible signing either if we got him as long as it's a cheap short deal. Assuming he would play wing for us, don't like him at centre.

If JTJ pans out, we don’t need a winger? You would think he would be a reserve at best? Can’t see him signing up for that.

BTW, where is stated that we are interested in him, except on here?

Roberts did well but he wasn't tested at all really. Didnt have to dive into the corner to score, didn't have to take kicks under pressure etc.

DWZ is 💩
We don’t need him

 

[AL The Tiger]

DWZ... Yeah, nah...

True, but my point was that we have a plethora of wingers and you would think Jimmy will start if he is good enough.

TBH I don’t rate DWZ as an upgrade.

 

[jrtiger]

interesting choice if we go after DWZ. similar to Isaako it's clear Madge is a big fan and is trying to improve the backline by using the NZ connection. at his best he's a brilliant outside back, just worried that ship has sailed. a lot to be said about his attitude as well. spat the dummy big time at Penrith before securing his release

We have no wingers. We've got Nofa and that's it - anyone else is just a fill in. I'd be surprised if it happens anyway

I'd prefer Isaako over DWZ even if just on goal kicking.

DWZ would be a handy backup fullback if we had injuries but it would need to be at the right price. I don't think he's as bad as people are suggesting but I'm not quite seeing where he fits in.

perhaps his positional game is very good:grin:

??? Is that the new squad numbers they were talking about earlier this year, or have I missed something?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

DWZ just had a price drop after his try assist for the Panthers :sweat_smile:

Is Hastings and Gildart coming this season if it’s next season we still need 2

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Read in the Telegrap that Broncos have offered Nicko Hynes 1.2m over 4 years ie $400k a season if that's correct we should go all in @ $600k per season.
Also we got Daine Laurie for $150 k again if that's correct un upgrade should be made immediately if not sooner
