Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Players like Klemmer and Brooks will get snapped up as soon as clubs drop off the top 8 hunt. I think this is also the reason why no moves have happened yet.
These guys can be used in a better swap option elsewhere. No rush.

We'll do just fine without Klemmer. He's certainly not worth the fuss being made of him.

our pack would be better with him in it, but I wouldnt be paying overs for him. I can think of 6 current players in our pack that I would be happy to remove and insert Klem.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yes we will live on without him but he’d also be a good addition at the right price.

klemmer is on far too much coin for a front rower. We are better going hard for a second rower

Musgrave for klemmer and we throw in some coin now that is a deal worth entertaining

If Newcastle ask for brooks and brooks was keen to move on then Klemmer would be a good swap , with madden in our team and the addition of Klemmer and the option of Tamou finishing up it would be good for both teams , Klemmer over 2 years 👍

How so - We're swapping a half for a prop.
We don't need Props, We need Back Rowers.

We don't need Props, We need Back Rowers.

I'm pretty happy with a fully fit Blore and Papi.

 

[GCfan]

I will never understand the hypocrisy of supporters that are up in arms if Isaiah backflips, whilst openly hoping Kelma does the same...Let him go, there are better options both inside and outside the club

Curious as to your thoughts on who the better options are within the club?

Be as happy as you like, 1's injured - the other isn't here yet....
And we're already 3 short.

Anyone who thinks these kids are ready to go next year is dreaming.

Former Wests Tigers general manager Adam Hartigan is being lined up for an NRL return to help Phil Gould’s rebuild at the Bulldogs.
Hartigan, who controversially split with the Tigers after Tim Sheens returned from the United Kingdom to take up a role as director of football at the joint venture, is in discussions with their western Sydney rivals to work alongside Canterbury supremo Gould.
It would mark a stunning turnaround for the respected executive, who was the highest-profile official to leave the Tigers after last year’s end-of-season review.
The Tigers eventually sacked coach Michael Maguire midway through this season with Sheens to coach the club for the next two years before he’s succeeded by Benji Marshall.

we certainly should not and will not be putting Brooks in reserve grade for Jock Madden

Certainly not by the constant advice given by some on this forum.

Fully fit cool, thats a pipe dream based on his career to date.

Teams also need 4 backrowers with rotation/injuries.

Right now we are in large need for at least 1-2 backrowers. We have 1 we can bank on who isn’t even here yet.

 

[Lukic]

not the same amount of money involved.
we can't go into 2023 with inexperienced Jock Madden as the 7 it will end in disaster

Good thing going into the last 8 years with Luke Brooks has ended with great success.

 

[Speed2burn]

I’d be happy just to see Blore get through a month of footy with no injuries

 

[hank37w]

I'd like to note this post in the future. Campbell will be a star

But only if he stays away from Wests Tigers.

 

[Lukic]

What's going on with Angus Crichton? Off the table now that we've sacked Madge?

As much as I like Blore, it would be madness to rely on him given the injury history.

I rate Campebll and Laurie pretty similarly. Think both have bright futures but Laurie's definitely shown more at this point of his career. You can never have enough talented players so I'd be interested in Campbell from that perspective, but I don't think we'd be gaining much if he were here to replace Laurie.

Ron massey.

Reserve for Ron Massey Cup.🤣

Sheens has stated Blore may move to the middle. I'm not sure he is an edge forward. I've never seen him run lines like Kelma regularly does.

Yep. Our squad is looking decent next year apart from edge backrowers. It's a massive concern.

A fully fit Blore, I'd like to see that.

Would also like to see him stay that way for an extended period of time.

 

[Champ1]

Should we target Jayden Campbell?

No, I dont think so. He is not a fullbacks bum hair. Anyone who breaks the GC line will score with him at fullback. Good with ball in hand at times but that doenst near compensate for all his other deficiencies in his game
