Hopefully the Don will be back in 2024 and the socialist democrat's under senile Joe will end thankfully

I don't want to derail this thread but you might want to research the term 'socialist' before using it to describe Joe Biden. Democratic socialism is a fringe ideology in America. The Republicans would have a much stronger claim to the term 'facist', but they're not a fascist party. Not yet at least.

Roosters if true and are in salary cap trouble. We should have a crack at getting Teddy back. Surely he would entertain it, having acheived almost everything in the game already. The thought of a return and getting to finals with his junior club along with the fanfare and a job for life at the tigers could get it across the line.

From what I've heard, Tedesco has very little regard for the club so I'd be surprised if he'd even entertain the idea of returning. We're better odds of bringing back Matterson or luring Braith Anasta out of retirement.

NRL are missing James Roberts, i realise he was on a Train and Trial to start the pre season but assumed as he has played a few games he was upgraded to an NRL contract as before round 10 you couldn't be selected without an exemption.

Kent is fine when he is being moderated by others. His problem is that sometimes he becomes totally unhinged and goes down stupid viewpoints.

You can tell since the Triple M debacle Kent has dialled it down on NRL360 either that or they have sedated him.

He must still be on T&T or close to injury retirement.
I count 29 with Naden in and Roberts on T&T.

WE need to make this happen, if we need to pay overs for this, so be it.
Angus would be one of our better signings of late, will add value on and off the field, and will attract other players to the club....yes make this happen W.T.

Looks like The Sporting News reads the WT forum same as the old buzzard.
 
My initial thoughts on the Angus C potential signing, was it was the old chestnut, talk to the Tigers to generate interest and hopefully get the Chooks to fill a brown paper bag or two. Anyway I am actually thinking this could have real legs.

Maybe now Greenberg has gone the Chooks actually have a cap like everyone else…Hard to believe but maybe the playing field is being made level
 
On signings, one guy I would sound out would be Josh Jackson. On a short term deal would be a ideal worker that every pack needs and a good fill till the young kids a ready in a couple of years. I know he is at the back end of his career, but he would get a job done

Would be ideal. Be a different forward pack next year either though our forward pack the last few rounds have been not only holding there own but even push back. Having API at hooker though will make a huge difference to our attack 😍

Na we have Twal for that role. He does it very well off the bench.

No more Bulldogs thanks.

I've considered this. I think for a 1 year + 1 mutual option, in the event we can't get a better edge to pair Papali'i, is good business. Particularly if the Bulldogs contribute a bit for '23.

I think it would be a decent enough gap filler until the likes of O'Kane, Kautoga, Matamua, Tumeth and Guyan are knocking on the door. Obviously this idea is null and void if we can pull off the Crichton coup.

I think ur 1st thoughts are more likely than us getting him , we will end up like we did with Mitchell , with a big fat O

And Play him where?
Joe, Twal, Peachey, Seyfarth - And whoever else is coming through have Lock Sorted...
Jacksons no good for anything else
 
Does offering Crichton 700k a season fall into the same category as trying to get Dale Finucane for similar last year?
