Just sign some one please

No, sign the right person

I don’t think any of the right people are off contract.

Doesn't mean we should just sign anyone.

True. We do have spots to fill though.

Jayden berrell - footballer , Chippy by trade excellent hooker, quick around the ruck , excellent defender, no fear, all heart.
Fills in at 7 as well.

Bateman strong season

Campa the 6, very very good. Eyes up, good goal kicker, very quick.

Molo - north’s devils , outstanding all year.

Lachlan timm - Redcliffe. Excellent.

Berrell is the pick.

Time to be selective. If nobody comes up we just do 1 year deals and hold off till 2023. We’re not in a premiership window.

I just had a thought. With the announcement of the 2nd Brisbane Team in 23 sure there will be a lot of player signings come November 1st.
But what happens to the players who might be keen on a see change but in addition there clubs might be keen on moving them on a year early to open up some cap space and or roster positions?

Could we be a benefit of some 1 year deals? Particularly some experienced campaigners that are looking to be back in Queensland?

If no one comes up I'm happy to deal 1 year speculative deals.

Agree with you both. This means we’re looking at either unproven players or 30+ year old players.

It is what I expect to happen

"but in its eagerness to showcase its southern team, it has created a same-old same-old competition, whereas the AFL, which has a functional salary cap, this weekend puts on a grand final to capture the imagination between a team that has not won since 1964 and a team that has won once since 1954."
Knox again.

What chance this happening in the NRL in the next 10 years?

I don't think there'll be changes at the top for a while. The inequality is getting worse, and the NRL seems happy with it.

I want guys who are renowned for effort and defensive resilience though. Not flashy attacking players with short fuses/ who go missing.

I think it will depend what becomes available at other clubs.

Yeah , I mean if nothing suitable comes up I’d just upgrade our better players and offer short term deals to players who are gritty .

Was robbed of some of his glory years due to injury, as much as he wasn’t always rock solid at Tigers, you gotta feel good for him.

The AFL has a draft. The NRL has a salary cap that is not realistic as we all know. Underperforming teams pay overs for players and the traditional 'super' teams pay unders. It makes it especially difficult for teams like Wests to compete. It is not a level playing field.

I like those stories where someone gets chopped but then go into bigger things. I thought he was done.

Hope they get lapped by 50+

Why is it up to the NRL to make it a level playing field? Why handicap the good clubs?
