Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cobarcats]

Matty John's recent article in Foxsports stated that he fears for the future of the game, particularly the bottom teams who struggle to recruit or retain quality players.
If the NRL doesn't do something about TPA or brown paper bags then I support his fears.
It seems to be a no brainer for the NRL to fix this problem but I recall a few years back a journo saying the only way the NRL can expand is to make it too hard for struggling clubs to cope financially forcing them to relocate.
I wonder, is this still a possibility?
WT are always struggling to attract quality players unlike the Roosters. Is our front office completely to blame?
I would find it extremely hard to follow the West Australian Tigers, geographically and emotionally.

And these are the players we should be signing.

🔥🔥🔥

100% there are alot of very talented kids out in the ranks that we could grab.
Not all of them will turn out to be quality NRL players but some of them will.
Panthers system was setup pre covid and the rest of the clubs are playing catchup so the next 3-5yrs there will be opportunities to poach.

I would jump all over him, simple move and Api is already heading over.

Only concern for a kid like that would be NRL gametime guarantees. Dolphins currently could provide that, I doubt Madge/Sheens would be able to.

Walsh will go to Dolphins maybe as a 6 ?

I'm waisted too. Currently 38" but heading towards 40". Too waisted I'd say.

Think he was talking waist size, living the good life not age

I’d sign him as a centre. Has speed and agility and spent a fair bit of time playing in the centres last year when Naden played fullback.

 

[Camel2281]

agree with Matterson and Aitken and lodge

Aiken is worse than Garner

Plenty of young gun fullbacks often go into centre/wing first in their NRL career and then down the track look to claim the fb role. If it means securing his signature, I am all for it.

I know, I saw the [ " ]
I was referring to my waist, don't mess with me or I'll sit on ya 😁

And T'oa

A lot of our signings over the past two years were under contract with other clubs still...

Pascoe has stated the approach is to monitor situations and other clubs and strike if opportunity presents its self.

I keep suggested Tapine and Young because where there is smoke there is fire and they are realistic options who could seek releases. Rumours floating around for ages now they don't get along with the coach. Fresh club would do wonders for them....

We missed Barnett but maybe we should look at who will now miss out at the Warriors....

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Where there is a will, there’s always a relative. 😂

Haha, that's a good one.

 

[tony soprano]

Did you watch him last week in the televised cup game ?

He tore it up.

Surely he doesn't want to be back up at Penrith forever.

Dolphins will come knocking soon...
We should make a play like Newcastle did to Ponga.
Pay him on potential and take that risk.

On kayo?

Yep. Fullback is a hard position. A player needs to wrap their heads around what it takes to succeed in first grade when they are starting out. Having the pressure of your entire team's defensive line placed upon you while you are still learning your trade is too much for some young people.

I saw it on foxsports.
