Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[supercoach]

Ciraldo -
Apparently a defensive mastermind ✅
Is well thought of at Penrith ✅
Young and will have fresh ideas and desire ✅
Will possibly have a better chance at attracting players ✅

If they punt Madge, which i think will happen, this is the only guy i want

That sounds a lot like Barrett if you swap "defensive" with "attack" and we were the only team to make him look like an attacking mastermind.

Not really Barrett was on the nose at Manly to so the Dog results don’t surprise. Although for some strange reason, players love him

September and not one player signed from one of the other 15 NRL clubs

Enough said ....we are doomed

that would say nobody wants to play under Maguire

That has been reported by multiple media agencies, not just Chammis who the Madge fans won't believe because he apparently has some agenda, facts speak louder than words in regards to our lack of signings

So Madge leaves and we still can't buy players .....which is what will happen ...the CLUB as an entirety is the problem

At least the new coach might get something out of the players we've got.

We need to get rid of 3/4 of the players we have ....

The roster isn't amazing but they are better than the performances show. Wouldn't take much to get them improving.

Nah ...they are mostly garbage mate ...if you were being honest at the beginning of the season we were a bottom 4 side .....we got what deserved .....we will be a bottom 2-3 in 2022 on current signings

Do you think he is he getting the best out of them?

There is nothing to get out of them ..we will be the worst rosterin the NRL in 2022

So if we have the worst roster in '22, 15th is overachieving? I like it!

we won't get Ciraldo he will not come here. Would like him to but can't ever see any of his mentors telling him yes go to the Tigers
it would be career suicide.
If he wants he can probably coach the dragons in a year or so

Can we keep the signings and rumours thread for signings and rumours.

We have enough threads about the coach situation.

Debating if a player, lets say Talau should be replaced for four or five pages would be considered something that belongs in the Talau thread.

Same same.

I don't think that will be the way it plays out, a new coach if they appoint the right one, will attract players, we have money a new COE and a lot of promising juniors, we just need a decent coach

That’s why I like the idea of Ciraldo, how many good players in the Penrith system are road blocked. Also he comes with runs on the board in the defence department.

Of course there is every chance he would not come anywhere near us given the place is a coaches graveyard and our 2022 prospect look absolutely diabolical , but if you nail it as coach at the Tigers your set for life

That would be my first choice too, people say a younger coach won't succeed here, I actually think we need a younger coach, to connect with all our young players, and he is defence orientated with a connection to a huge junior base, ticks all the boxes for me

I certainly don't, almost all the players have regressed

Doueihi, Laurie, Luch, Stefano, Talau, Lids.... all gone backwards since arriving at the club, eh?

Doueihi has not really improved greatly, Madge moved him around too much, Laurie just needed a run of games to show his talent, Luch is still a liability and Talau makes a stack of mistakes, so I am not overly impressed with that groups progress. And Madge didn't really use Stef much until he got picked in the origin squad, he dropped him and left other non performers in the side. Funny how after origin where he had some good coaching and belief in him, he came back a better player

If you stretch the friendship only ….. but really … there a threads on coaching issues more appropriate.

Doesn’t matter what position he plays, while his brain remains the same he’s a liability.

 

[The-moP]

Its obvious that no player here in the NRL wants to come to us .. we have to look else where .. we have to do what Canberra did and look at England and players looking to try their hand in the NRL .. sure with Sheens on deck .. Hastings and Gildart as bait .. in trying to get other English players to us ..!!

I'm with Ben Elias (for once) that Sheens has to be appointed head coach .. does that mean we get rid of Madge and take a hit with paying him out .. ??

 

[Fade.To.Black]

How do we only have 4 spots left for next year that's scary

The fact we’re likely keeping Cini and Roberts is the club waiving the white flag in terms of recruitment

They have to say no to cini and amone.

Amone and Mikaele are the same. Bog average.


Both those players have shown signs they could develop into keepers. imo.

Waiting for some of our players to make a contribution is like leaving the porch light on for Harold Holt.


It is. The alternative is just as painful.
I hope we stop signing players over the age of 27 unless they’re already at the club.
Does anyone know who is responsible for the club’s contractual obligations with new players? Who is ultimately responsible for signing a new player?

Worked for Cronulla with Ennis and Lewis. Just because we got burned by bad decisions once doesnt mean we have to quit making good decisions.

WT would kill for a duo like Ennis and Lewis right now. 2 competitive beasts who would certainly drive their teammates on and lead the way in every single aspect. Gallen and Wade Graham as well. It was no surprise those 4 were involved in their maiden premiership, they are all exceptional leaders. (Not withstanding that they were almost certainly operating outside the salary cap that year also).

BJ can't play prop in the NRL.
This is just an excuse for him to let himself go.

He could be a gun prop for local league stuff.
Shaqai Mitchell 2.0

Fat Park footy prop with a gun* brother.

* debatable.

The bloke couldn't see out a game sitting on the bench let alone facing up in the middle for a few seconds

Career over you fraud go and line up at centrelink you weirdo that's where your future lies ( BJ that is )
