Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

AD seems durable 🙄 we should buy everyone who’s done an ACL, it’s working good so far.

Like "brooks" kinda good?
Hope not

The player bashing will never end if brooks leaves you know for a fact the next target will be Jacko

Can we at least have a rotation of the bashing or can we do a lucky dip on Sunday night after the round is finished and the same player can not be bashed twice inside of a 6 week period

750k for 3 years is what I would pay we need a big fish like Angus

i dont think thats unreasonable tbf

 

[Odessa]

Hopefully WT can get a deal done. Know from Angus side of things that he was the one that made contact first a week or so back.

Is that true ? If so we are a chance

 

[Odessa]

Not sure. Probably be around the 600k though.

It was reported 250K a season

 

[batboy]

Really. He was clearly our best player when he was on the park and it wasn't close. Sure he has a lot of flaws. He gets caught out defensively. He is relatively slow. He takes the wrong option at times.

He was still the guy most likely to come up with a big play.

Surely he is a massive keeper as is Hastings.

Being our best player doesn’t make him the player he’s made out to be here…
I would also add that he’s a bit of a ball hog to your list.

Better that 900k for Mose Mbye

 

[Odessa]

600k for TPJ

Thank you for your information about the Tigers .....


Do you know much about junior players ?

 

[tony soprano]

Most try assists in the team last year. Hastings runs the ball just as much as Doueihi does too but he doesn't seem to get called out on it

How rattled they going to be when the AD x Jacko pairing takes control ?

That's a halves pairing that'll have opponents shook.

Too much 🔥🔥

That nun is very tricky. Must be the cornette on her headpiece that makes her deceptive because other than that she's honest as

Gildart can be our very own Flying Nun.

You can get an instant read on what their fans are saying . . . just go to the kennel.
It's a brutal and honest forum where the fans say what's really on their minds.
Politically correct, it ain't.
But it's a great read.

Don't know about a great read but it's certainly a good laugh.

 

[Newtown]

What's the latest on the meeting Madge was supposed to be having with Crieghton

 

[clokan]

Doueihi is remembered well better than he has played…

Absence makes the heart grow fonder as they say

I'm especially looking forward to the ball never making it out to the wing.

Hastings passes it when it’s on -
instead of trying to do it all himself and getting caught with it…

 

[weststigerman]

I’ve seen every good player we’ve had cop it on forums: Prince, Benji, Lui, Hodgson, Tedesco etc. actually I don’t remember anyone saying anything negative about Ellis, but there were a few that said he’d be a dud signing for the same reasoning that Hastings would be.

Anyway, the point of my rant is AD will get his turn to be a forum punching bag.

Yet he had the most try assists in the team for the year.

Shannon Gallant just listed Miller as one of his 7 guns to watch out for in that article last week. I feel the club will do a fair bit to try and keep him in our system. If going to Dolphins is true, it will play out in the media pretty quickly (they seem to be all over any signing news to do with the Dolphins).

So if we've lost 17yo prop Jordan Miller to the Dolphins for $150k/year for 3 years, does anyone with links in with our underage players or player managers know what we pay our Jersey Flegg / Development / Pathway players?

If the way forward for our Club is via junior development, we need to have an attractive package for junior players to stay (financial + opportunity + facilities & services + coaching + culture). Yes we will lose some players & I'm sure Sheens/Betsey/Kimmorley are working hard on this but it would be good not to lose any of our best juniors. Call me selfish!
