Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[weststigerman]

Absolutely, but he's a prop and only a prop. We desperately need 2nd rowers

We need a prop too, then maybe we can play Blore at 2nd row rather than prop.

I agree he should never play any other position than prop though.

 

[finnzo]

He’s fatigued, from what, playing, training or other.
Biggest load of crap, by him and Broncs, I've ever seen.
Same with the South’s winger !
Let’s hear it in unison “mental health issues”, that’s a reliable crutch.
Toughen up boys , or get a real job !

I think we forget how old he is and where he has come from he’s a quit indigenous boy from the country who has burst onto the screen as a 19 year old it takes guts from him to go to the coaching staff and say I’m not fully ready for this game can I sit out because I don’t want to let the team down

 

[hank37w]

Allow it Braith 😡

we'll throw in the strapping and Gatorade.

 

[Lauren]

Could be intentional could be managers playing games who knows

 

[hank37w]

Sheens and Benji did a runner and left the coffee bill with Cam, more to come

You mean there were cakes and sandwiches as well.

 

[Tommy_the_Tiger]

Would absolutely love Munster. He's been the best in the game for a bit, with a lot of footy in him. Hard to imagine it coming off, particularly given his manager has taken every opportunity presented to him to kick us in the guts.

But worst comes to worst, some club ends up paying more him than they hoped.

I think this is a bit much following the recent death of Paul Green. like any job, players and staff should be able to take time away from the game if they've burnt the candle at both ends. there's more to life than footy, credit for Selwyn for putting his hand up and saying he's not up to it.

as for Paulo, the amount of death threats he was receiving was enough for the bloke to never set foot on a field again. players are human and being in the public eye can affect mental health immensely.

 

[WswWt]

Haaaa imagine saying you’re tired to your supervisor after working a 60 hour week…. Lol

 

[crazycat]

TPJ anyone for $400k?

at that price Ofcourse.
But I remember the hoodoo of TPJ and Dale Finucane when we were recruiting. TPJ is surely a player with a lot of potential and Wayne Bennett rates him highly. He has sunk at the dogs. Dale Finucane offered Cronulla a lot of leadership in the second row.

Cronulla with: Gallen, Lewis, Fifita, Matt Prior and a stack of good second row leadership. Yet they back...Culture and Leadership and sign Dale Finucane.

Anyone we sign of TPJ caliber will raise our front row. Naturally it would take 600k to actually get him but yes...

 

[Harvey]

TPJ doesn't fit our culture an is not the type of player we want. Just ask chairman Lee

$600k still a bargain.

IMHO, most of people focus on the house roof: gable, hip, flat or sunroof?! And they think the foundation will be built by wishful thinking and "she'll be right"??
Fact: we have by far the worst NRL forwards ATM, and adding a backrower will not do much!
So, to paraphrase realtors saying "Props, props, props"!

 

[teddy23]

List of realistic targets imo we should look at:

- Liam Martin
- Payne Hass
- Josh Schuster
- Tevita Pangai Jr
- Dylan Brown
- Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow
- Bradman Best (shopped around)
- Tyson Frizzel
- Joe Tapine
- Lachlan Miller
- Jesse Ramien
- Royce Hunt
- Siosifa Talaki
- Nelson Asofa-Solomona
- David Klemmer
- Scott Drinkwater
- Griffin Neame
- Jeremiah Nanai
- Spencer Leniu

All available to talk November 1st or even sooner....

Personally I'm looking at Liam Martin, Payne Hass, Lachlan Miller and Griffin Neame/Spencer Leniu

 

[tigerap]

Absolutely, but he's a prop and only a prop. We desperately need 2nd rowers

We need anyone who can offload(2nd phase) and get good post contact meters.....TPJ ticks both boxes

 

[PJ2]

I'd be targeting anyone who can hit hard.
Known killers in defence. They might beat us nxt year but [This word has been automatically removed]ed if their walking out of home grounds in one piece.
We have to get tough.
A barber in the COE? [This word has been automatically removed] me.
We can't even run-through a banner....

 

[PJ2]

Problem number 1 for years has been our defence.
Sheens never coached it and benj never learnt it.
Sign a defensive coach. I'd go for Spud or toovey.

 

[WT2K]

Allow it Braith 😡

Welcome Munster

You rightly have your opinions and I have mine.
I hope both both of them are ok and wish no I’ll will to either.

Manage it better.

These guys are under WAY to much stress and the wrong coaches tend to bring players who Choke and not allow them to handle the pressure.
Ofcourse everyone chokes. Cam Smith once booted 1 from 9 at a Grand final (I was teaching in PNG and he did the sign of the cross and got that 1 goal, the students literally screamed at him when he took the next kick without the sign of the cross.... PNG an interesting place).

We need to be aware of this and manage this better. Right coaches, right coaching and right attitude. Ash Taylor is a perfect example, Titans placed so much pressure on the kid and he Chokes. Kane Elgey likewise. If Wayne was coaching them, both players would have gone further.

That's why I said I would be keen for him (especially at that price point), I just thought it was also worth noting that although he has played in the backrow for the majority of his career, I think he is a prop in today's game.
