Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Spida]

Richio thinks Panthers have told api to go to parra.

Strange that Panthers have any right to tell him what to do???Riccio is a fool.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Surely the plan is Api for 22, 23, 24.

Would be a hard sell considering the Panthers are yet again a premiership threat. They would have no desire to weaken themselves downgrading from their premiership hooker to a Kenny, Liddle, etc...

Listen Liddle is a superstar and just what a team like Panthers need, a hooker who can punch out a quality 20 mins and pass poorly


Yet Liddle is still a better player than Simpkin who suffers from white line fever as well as everything else you criticise Liddle for

who is 9 games in to his career not 64
Time will help Simpkin, obvious Sheens doesn't rate Liddle as highly as other did as they keep having cracks at Hodgo now Api desperate for a quality 9


Back again I see Jedi, with the slipper! Classy. Look I do agree that api is a quality hooker and is a better hooker than liddle at this point in his career. But he turns 30 next year and spent a big portion of last season injured. If u were smart, u would have to ask why the panthers don’t want him next season???
So we sign him on a 3 year deal starting in 23, so 34-35 years old in his last season with us, a bit of a risk. 3 years is ok if it starts next season.
Maybe we should start a thread of people’s hatred for brooks, Nofa and liddle, so Jedi and others don’t have to travel to far to get their kicks??

why don't we just start ab All the way Thread for your support of Liddle nothing negative allowed here
you are right let's not sign a SOO rep player and GF winner in Api and keep Liddle please
With Brooks no other option in the halves so he stays.

You're just here to invent arguments man,
Seriously - It's getting old.
No one said Liddle is amazing, No one said don't sign Api...
No one says half the crap you claim they do.

Pull your head in.

yet I get criticised for saying move Liddle on you don't need 3 hookersif we sign Api

IF.... IF.

I get you like liddle good luck to you, If he was the answer why would we be looking at Hodgo and now Api we seem desperate for a 9

Get that you talk first - And as often as possible, And possibly don't bother to read at all....
But go back to the list of Hookers I named (Including Api) that would be an improvement on Liddle, I also stated that UNLESS we're signing one of them, It's best to keep Liddle... (Or words to that effect)
IF - IF we sign one of those players, Then the conversation changes... But that hasn't happened yet - As I've told you before, I deal in reality only.
Api also has the option to join a top 4 side, That would be a like for like replacement of the player they've lost...

What happens if we sign Api for 23, And Simpkin requests a release on compassionate grounds to go home and join the Dolphins... We've got one hooker.
There's no logic in anything you've said up until now...

I think Simpkin may well request a release to Dolphins if we dont play him e.g. sit in reserves all year behind Liddle. Dolphins are desperate they will probably pay overs to bring him home. The guy is a talent a choice would need to be made between 2 of the 3, its probably not right to stand in Liddles way if he is not the clubs second option anyway if they see Simpkin as the future.

I heard that on SEN they suggested parramatta had the better forward pack and it woukd be a seamless transition. Penrith hate us lol

You also thought the Roosters would sign him due to connections through his girlfriend. None of your hypotheticals are based in reality.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

You don't have to agree with the moral decisions Api has made, you also don't have to be his friend. We just need him to play good footy for us.

 

[Tiger913]

EXACTLY !!! completely agree !! we need to win games its a competition sport after all, people can complain about morals all they like, the guy can play football and is one of the best at his position. the aim of the game is to win games and you do that by improving the team that plays the game on the weekends.

Love these comments. Liddle is not good enough for us, yet would be for the premiers. That’s the line you are trying to sell. Think about that.

Shades of Momo

 

[Pbulk]

Api clearly not the smartest bloke out there (only need to look back on his last 12 months to see that) but is a very good player. 3 years at his age is fine, but a club option for year 3 not the worst idea either. Hopefully the club puts some idiot clauses in the contract to keep him in line though.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

My father is a life long Balmain supporter and also supports the WTs. Likes the Magpies as well, dislikes Manly. He said we need that tough English prop from the Bulldogs. He also said to check if Vince Karalius had any grandsons playing rugby league. He always tells me about Karalius chasing Rex Mossop across the SCG, Mossop going for his life to get away from him.

Yep. It’s the Warnie theory. I don’t get care about your off field antics. As long as you bowl guys out and dazzle them, that’s all I need.

So what signings are we expecting today?

Dolphins can't catch a cold at the moment when it comes to signings they need to sign people at some point.

[sparci]

rap sheet is enough to avoid signing him, I woul

He's 20x the hooker than anyone we have. You sign players off their football ability, not to make the club look pretty. Sick of this argument.
