Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

Fogarty on the way to Canberra apparently.

That’s how strong clubs negotiate. Meanwhile we’re stuck with Brooks.

He would not come to Sydney. That's why he is off to the ACT.

He’s from Queensland. Why’s he desperate to go to ACT and specifically not Sydney?

Doesn’t want to live in Sydney?

Punt Nofa even Ferguson would be good in his place for a year

Every day of the week. Nofa has really disappointed me. He is only in it for Nofa!

Madge on the phone trying to get that swap for Cotric on...

And some of yas thought it was fake news.

Maybe it’s for the pommie

I still think we should take Ash Taylor on a cheap contract.

We need to aim higher than that, unless you are talking about a second tier contract.

There’s no one out there. Our chance to sign someone very good for next year was gone long ago

He’s clearly an odd ball then, no thanks.

He was at the Eels previously and understandably Sydney wasn't for him.

When he can bum a ride back to Australia.

 

[Madge]

when is sheenious officially working?

He is basically already working with the club. He has booked another flight for end of October so hopefully it doesn't get cancelled again. Still would have to quarantine as well.

I still do think it's fake news.

Phone call went something like

“ gday gus, any chance of us taking young Nik cotric off your hands?”

“ I’ve told you to stop calling me Madge. I’ll call you when I want to swap Stefano for Ofahiki Ogden. Goodbye Michael “

Lee H, “I wouldn’t have a clue who either of those blokes are but can I talk about it on SEN”

So just wondering, if we still can’t get any big signings to come, are we still blaming Madge or will it be Sheens?

I think the chance for big signings are over, we missed them all, there isn't anyone exciting left available as far as I understand?

Or do you mean 2023

I think the only big signing that was missed was Matt Burton, he has a big future ahead of him. And he reportedly only went to Dogs to follow Barrett. Not to many others signed up for other clubs this year that would be considered big signings that would've justified their huge salaries IMO.

I have asked you the question in one of your other posts but I’ll ask again just who is good enough for WTs

Not a question of who is good enough from my end, it was a statement saying a 4year deal for Finucane is too long IMO so was happy our club didn't get railroaded into offering him that. Ditto for JAC, time will tell if he is a $700k a year player who influences results once he is taken from the comfort of a top-notch roster and continual top 4 team. I'd be willing to bet he flounders at Canterbury, same as he would at WT.
So in answer to your question, there are PLENTY of players who are good enough to represent our club and I wouldn't say no to many of them (just like I never said Finucane or JAC aren't good enough to play for WT). Whether or not they would provide good value if they were on exorbitant money or length of contract is another matter entirely.

We need a backup fullback and a centre more than anything. Talau could miss a lot of games and Doueihi is our only other option at fullback besides Laurie.

Find a young fullback in reserves somewhere who can cover the wing too if necessary.

Logan dillon?

Tex hoy maybe?

Hole him up for his quarantine stint in our famous Elite Training Facility caravan. He'd come out wearing a bandana with a you-beaut golden hoop earring, gypsy-style.

What you are essentially saying as that players lower their performance to the standards that exist at our club. Which I can’t disagree with. Answer why and you get Pascoe’s job.

Well our new Coaching Director brought through Tedesco. I have no doubt he will have a positive influence on Dillon and all our players. I am really looking forward to his influence on our younger players.

I am a big supporter of Sheens and always have been. I believe it is a very smart (Gould called it shrewd but for other reasons imo) to bring him home.

Well it is basically common knowledge that you can come here as a player, underperform massively, yet still get picked every week. Our club is the pushover club where players run the show regardless of who the coach is or who is involved in the front office.

Dillon’s got a bit of Paps about him I reckon. Obviously still young but he might get there in time

Yeah mate, I get that I just don’t see Taylor adding value to our squad.
Would rather find a young half that has upside than add Taylor.
