Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[yeahcaz]

No matter who we sign there are certain ppl here who would prefer not to see improvement in the team , but to be able to jump on Madge’s head for not improving the roster , time for some to pull their heads in and stop with the negativity crap

NO ONE OUT THERE IMPROVES THIS TEAM

Brandon Smith?

He’s not off contract though is he ?

 

[Demps]

Jamaal fogarty released from titans effective immediately most likely headed to Canberra

What's going on at GC they are releasing a few halves? Fogarty, peachy and Taylor.

Who are ether replacing them with?

7 Sexton
6 Brimson
1 Campbell

They’re stuffed if one goes down.

Available though. Just offer the storm a swap. They would probably want Daine Laurie and Adam Douhei though

Curtis Scott was awful at Canberra and Storm let him go for good reasons

His defence was notably terrible this year for Raiders as well

Curtis Scott
2019 tackle efficiency 87%
2020 tackle efficiency 85%
2021 tackle efficiency 90%

2021 Tigers tackle efficiency
Chee Kam 89%
Roberts 83%
Talau 78%
Leilua 77%
Kepaoa 65%
Pauga 56%

Tackle efficiency means almost nothing unless you're playing in the middle. If you actually watched him play you would've seen how poor defensively he was

They've got Tanah boyd and Paul Turner as backup halves I think. Turner looks pretty decent

 

[Lee's fedora]

Remember when Melbourne wanted tommy talau for Addo carr and we said no

And titans will have tannah boyd playing 7 with Campbell playing 6 brimmo at fullback

I really don't like that argument

Bud ....everyone one here wants us to improve

But many are sick of the continual lack or recruiting and idiotic decisions made by a board who knows little or nothing about League

No more recuitment ( or more to the point better than we have already recruited) and we are bottom 2 guaranteed

You can't blame hardened / crusted on supporters who have dealt with the Wests / Balmain for many years to now deal with another basket case and be just about sick of it

Especially when you see where we were in 2005 and after 2011 ....

Tackle efficiency only counts when you’re making the tackles. Doesn’t show all the times you’ve just blatantly missed someone or not made the effort to tackle them

Yeah I was curious about that also. Would me your more effective with your contact right?
Probably wouldn’t be a good indicator of defensive positioning.

Sexton at 7

 

[jirskyr]

Imagine if we got cheese

We would implode

From constipation most likely. On a serious note, I don't think we would offer him enough to play for us.

I don't know, now we know he definitely likes the nose beers and Sydney is the cocaine capital of Australia.

 

[Goanna57]

Was kinda hoping brooks would move to Canberra and we could sign fogs ourselves but I think brooks will be in Reggie's or with us til his contract runs out

Reggies your kidding don’t be surprised if his made captain next season

 

[GCfan]

We need to sign Scott.
Yes, not for overs and not in a bidding war.
The guy is only 23. Won a comp at 19.
If his head is right he will be QUALITY.
And we are beyond desperate for centres

No we don’t. Why would his head be right at a club like ours ? Constantly in the media for the wrong reasons enough as it is. Kepao can play centres start of next season, so can gildart, Tommy will be back before you know it and then you’ve got young blokes. He doesn’t improve our team at all

Scott is better than all our guys. Give him a 2 year deal, with year 2 in our favour

No he’s not

Oh it’s like that…. Ok, yes he is

So support another team then

How do you get that from what I’m saying ? Christ it must be a full moon tonight.

I’m more than happy to go into next season with gildart and Hastings as our only recruits instead of wasting cap space on a bunch of losers who don’t improve this squad.
How hard is that to understand

When you write “no one out there improves this team” it’s hard to take it any other way.
Your communication is the response that you get.

Would he be an A or B defender?

I agree it's not necessarily a great indicator, but I've watched him for years, and besides last year he was much better than what our centres have shown so far.

 

[TYGA]

I don't think we're in a position to be picky about certain players our club is all about being gritty no matter your reputation as long as you give 100% we don't care so many we need to take look at the outcasts like Scott like elliot who have something to prove

Patience is the key. For too long we have brought in players with issues because we have no plan for youth. They drag the team down from an effort perspective. We need to be selective and get players that are pros or more young guys that are stuck behind great players. It’s the only recipe that has worked Utoikamanu, Laurie, Douhiei, Blore, Twal, Aloai, Matterson we’re all at good clubs with no chance of consistent first grade.

I'll defend Caz hear. Saying no one improves the team is kinda the opposite of saying we're hopeless.

Sorry mate but I don’t understand how you get “I don’t want to support my team” from simply stating that no one currently available would improve the current squad.

Who would’ve thought capital letters makes people think crazy things
