Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Are the people advocating for Bateman the same people bagging the Hastings signing?

Hastings plays a different position but looks head and shoulders above his teammates which includes Bateman.

I’d pass on Bateman for that reason.

Bateman has already shown he's a top class NRL player though

That was the past, isn’t standing out in ESL and even has Wigan fans calling him rubbish.

For next season we need 2 centres, a winger, a middle, a second rower and a half (due to AD)

We'll sign Tyrone Peachey. Lock it in.

I hope so... Do you know something or just on the wish list.

Just a suggestion

Where would you play him.?

6, 13, 14, 3 or 4, He is just a footballer and losing Mbye and AD for start of the season he would be a great pickup. 14 would be excellent for us

I'd use him somewhere in the forwards only

Lets this sink in... Our spine at current is
Mbye
Madden
Brooks
Liddle

This has to be the worst spine for a while on any team..

I cannot wait until the season is over and the club might start some recruiting and give us fans some hope for next year as all the teams below us have signed player and will get better.

Well done recruitment

How much are the tickets to Lala land mate ?

 

[hsvjones]

anyone watch trent robinsons post match conference? Dear lord he rinses Henry Perenara

Sure did. He didn’t miss did he. Robbo handles himself so well in press conferences. I can see why the players put it every week for him, he’s definitely got their backs.

54 - 12. Robbo is learning what it's like to coach a team under the salary cap. Loved his presser but his team got beat convincingly because they didn't have the number of superstars he is use to, and the other team did. Welcome to our world.

54-12 with a team still with the Australian captain Teddy. As well as the next million dollar player in Manu, and the next Queensland halfback in Walker.

They only score 12 to one of the worst defensive teams in the top 8. And have 54 put on them

We don't have these types of players. If we lose to by this score everyone on the forum and in the media think its the end of the world and call to sack the coach.

Roosters lose they say they don't have their stars.

Thanks for the perspective. I suppose the issue is Roosters do it once per season and we do it multiple times

Because the Roosters have not had a squad as weak as this current team for as long as anyone can remember, and Robinson with all his coaching cred is not going to make much difference when he comes up against better squads. The defensive structure... very WTs like.

Roosters have been decimated by injuries this year and are still on the cusp of the top 4. That is all on Robinson.

And as the team becomes more decimated they become less competitive against better squads and have 54 points put on them - just like the teams that are ranked ***in the bottom half of the comp*** without access to rep/quality players. In terms of coaching it becomes an equalizer.

They have been decimated the whole season and are (for now) still in the 4. The teams in the bottom half are still in the bottom half. Hardly an equalizer.

Yes for the one game. Roosters have done an incredible job this year.


I can’t believe they’ve managed to stay in the top 4 after all the injuries. Been a hell of an effort.

MOst impressive performance of the season IMO.

Yer, it’s real amazing what u can do when u have been over the salary cap for years and getting away with it! And with all there injuries still have three current international players in their squad!! Look I really like Robertson as a coach , but come if it, scum club with no juniors and no fans...

Wish we got Sua, he was great last Knight!

He was VERY ordinary in Wigan's last game not even half the player he was with Canberra

The Telegrap reporting there may not be a spot for Trindal at the Sharkies next year good bench player goal kicker and replacement for Doueihi until he recovers

Thought he was the best half on the field last week. Although poor Brooks and AD never get to play the tigers.

I keep misreading this as batman

Batman would also be a good signing ?

We already have a couple of ROBBINS

Mm I doubt that. Moylan can’t stay fit, Metcalf still young. If he bides his time he’ll definitely be back in that starting time sooner rather than later

I thought he re-signed at sharks

But according to the arm chair heroes we have better….

Moylan signed a 1yr extension with the sharks a few weeks back.

Metcalf would be better

I’ve posted it before but we should sign Lumelume he’s electric.

 

[Nelson]

Lumelume has some height and speed on the wing.
