I can’t believe I’m saying this but with AD possibly gone for a chunk of the season would it make sense to sign Ash Taylor? (Obviously on nowhere near his current salary)

No point now only 2 games left

AD could be gone for a chunk of next season.

What have I missed re AD ?

Hastings 7, Brooks 6. We need to sign a strike centre.

Partial tear of his ACL. Further info need to decide if he gets surgery

He doesn’t improve us. No thanks.
 
Ash Taylor is terrible, we've got Hastings, Brooks and Madden who can cover the halves if need be. Can't see them signing a fifth guy in the top 30 to play in the halves unless Doueihi is out for at least half the season

Taylor’s manager reportedly only asking for 250k. Cheap as chips.

I'd take him at that price. He is only 26 and has the talent to be one of the best. No idea what the hell is going wrong with him at the moment. Watched him tear us apart at Leichhardt in 2018.

This Thompson Rumour won't go away.
Apparently we might consider lifting our offer for him and if reports are correct that Dog would pay 200k I think we should give it a go as we have plenty of money.
Dogs in salary cap mess already and even Gus said they only have 1 spot free for next year for a min wage guy. How do the powers at that club justify going all out for TPJ and leaving them in this situation already.


Why should we help Pumpkin head get his salary cap under control by taking the Dogs reject under performing players.
Leave Thompson were he is and let the Dogs suffer.

Because he’s better than most of what we have

ACL

Agree we need a strike centre but there are pretty major question marks on whether Hastings will be successful. We have enough money for both regardless.

So would I, every day of the week. He’s a talented player.
 
Ash Taylor has suffered the same fate as Brooks to a certain extent labelled too early as the next big thing. Mentally destroyed him. Not sure we are a good fit frying pan into the fire.
 
Ash Taylor is done. His confidence is shot, and it won’t improve here. Better off taking a chance on the top flegg half.

In saying that, we have Hastings to cover and Madden with another off season could be ready.

The rumour is just that, a rumour.

But it gives us poor supporters some slight hope that we can get someone.. :grimacing:

He has been terrible. Ivan has been pretty much gifted a team that was built by someone else. He had no idea with recruitment over here and he has no idea with recruitment over there. Letting Laurie and burton go will be big mistakes they will rue in the future.

Core Panthers players are still good enough to cover those players. Ivan is really living through his son. If Nathan goes down so does Ivan.
