Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Scott and Eliott ?

We might as well be sponsored by the reject shop considering we pick up everyone else's scraps

Which is what the Storm does @JC99.
Now all we have to do is turn em into top class players like the Storm does.

They pick up talented kids more than anything else, all we need is Bellamy system and we will be fine

Please tell me again no truth to Woods rumour.

What’s funny about Woods, apart from going backwards since he left. After we played the Dogs in 2017 he told Tolman that Tolman was wearing his jersey. Then Woods goes to the Dogs, lasts half a season and is shipped off to the Sharks. Tolman remains. Then Tolman moves to the Sharks and Woods is told he’s not wanted, and again Tolman remains.

It feels like people think we only need 2 props in our squad. You need 6 or 7 props in a 30 man squad. The question especislly at 200k a year isnt whether your rather Woods over Mikelle or Twal or Stefano but would you rather Woods over what we git out of Packer or Amone this year or would get next year out of Amone or another NSW cup level prop next year.

My 2c is that when we had props out injured or suspended which you usally do that Woods would be great depth. He is also passionate, experienced and is known for being the first guy at training in the morning doing the extras - I remember John Morris saying he would arrive in the darkness and Woodsy would often be their already when no one else was. That is what a team like ours without enough leaders and without enough expeirence needs as a 6th prop. If he out performs the others and makes our nrl team then they need to work harder

It was the same argument for Benji coming back - at the right price and if he understood his place in the team, it would be worthwhile.

I seem to be on my lonesome in thinking Gildart will be a gun centre for us, but I'd be happy to have Scott here as well, especially if it's on a contract similar to the Roberts one as suggested.

No, your not on your lonesome @TillLindemann in thinking Gildart
will be a gun centre for Us.

Pretty sure he’s missed more games than he’s played this year. Heard numerous people say he’s made of glass

Well if he is made of glass @yeahcaz no one will tackle him for fear of being cut to pieces.

TBH, I’m hoping he will be?

You guys are in for some disappointment.

I was thinking the other day that the perfect 14 would be a forward that can also play hooker.

Cameron Mciness would've been perfect, starting 13 and moving to 9 to allow the hooker a break... however he is now signed, sealed and delivered to the sharks.

Examples are players like Radley, Cheese or going back to guys like Elijah Taylor and Lewis Brown.

Lock, second rower types than can and have also played hooker also.

Long story, short...
If we can move on from forum favourites... Nofo, Brooks, Mbye(Gone) and now Liddle, with news of him being a detractor from the coache.. I'd be all in on moving Liddle on and backing young Jake Simpkin... then bringing in, the forward/hooker type for that 14 role.

The guy I'm thinking of is Ray Stone.
Seeing him play 9 for Parra right now in the semi final and he's definitely doing a job.
Great defense and hits hard.
Has a crisp pass.
And he's off contract I believe.

Thoughts?

Sorry @Russell

Ray Stone is the WT junior, appearantly we were not interesting at the time

and probably still not

Please tell me again no truth to Woods rumour.

It won't go away, he really doesn't want to go to the Super League & not many other suitors out there, if it did come around it will be for a maximum 200-250k on 1 year.

Any word on the signing of any of our promising juniors, or juniors from other clubs?

Do you mean which clubs our promising juniors are signing with.

According to Wilkpedia he is 183 cm height and weighs 85 Kg. Maybe he is not as robust as some centres but if he is paired with a good defensive centre such as Scott it certainly would be a good balance.

So Scott, Elliot and Woods it is then, i would take it the jet would likely go and Amone also cant say im overly enthused about any of this but it is what it is.

 

[Lukic]

Woods isn't terrible but what's the point? It's not a future signing and we're not competing next year, so there's no reason to sign him.

Clear out our bad contracts, top-up/upgrade our good players and spend the money on midseason buyouts for good players being forced out of teams. Not too hard.

Haha what do you know bro

Just the positivity around Oliver.

He isn't even on Talaus level from what I've seen.
I doubt he'll last a season.

Tamou would have to go to.

Woods is better.

I have watched a few Wigan games in the past few months when we signed Gildart. But I havent seen anything miraculous from him . I havent seen him take the tough runs out of trouble or make something from nothing with early ball. Cant see him being the strike center we need. Hope Im wrong.
