Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

$1.4 is a lot, but with the cap due to go up, it's not that much for a marquee player and one as good as Munster

Agree and considering we are paying brooks 1.1 what's an extra 300k for a top line Rep player that will attract others.. He will also bring in buckets load for marketing etc..
Would be massive but not getting excited yet.

i’ll crowdfund to get that Bateman transfer happening though.

What a waste of money that would be.

 

[Conbat07]

Only way I could see $7M would be if its a mega 5yr deal at roughly $1.4m a year
That would take him through till he is 33.

$1.4M a year is alot, would be a record for a player to spend but geez someone like a Munster changes our dynamics instantly especially matched with Api.

I am with you! He is an absolute superstar and would transform this club. 7 million is nothing to sneeze over.

Anyone remember when Roy Asotasi went to South’s when they were rubbish? They probably payed overs at the time but other players followed him the next season and they got stronger and stronger. We need one superstar 🙌🏼

Remember most people on here didn't want Hynes either.

It seems that in the opinion of the 'experts' on here there's barely a handful of players that are deemed good enough for us, whilst also accepting what we deem to be a reasonable salary.

Hello, we're a basket case. the most undesirable club in the league, wooden spooners with a terrible culture at the club and the worst roster in the league. Yes we'll have to pay overs to sign quality players, that's our fate because we're so undesirable. The main way we can become desirable is by having good players here. Just have to choose the right players to offer the big bucks too.

And yes even Staines is an improvement on what we have. No he's no superstar but our current players are even worse than him.

Wayne Pearce Hill Hotdog Emporium Franchisee?

Hmmmm!! Why not swap bottom 8 for top 8 every 3 years

TBHJ Cloudy, but you aren't being Fine & Mild. IP is a contracted player for 3 years at WT. Parra can't do anything in regards to negotiating a new deal with him for at least 2 years.

Parra can negotiate with IP whenever they want. He can’t sign a contract

In your opinion, do you think hell be here in 2023

 

[jrtiger]

Have we got any 19 or 20 year olds of same class and x factor who might help us make the 8 next year . Good on these youngsters and 2028 will look forward to their debuts in nrl

Junior Tupou will hopefully see more regular first grade, as will Pole. Kautoga and Tumeth will get at least a handful of games unless we sign more back rowers, Matamua similar. would love to see Scolari and/or Jordan Hill get a crack in the outside backs. Rua's in the top 30 so expect him to make his debut, and Blore and Talau are practically new signings.

Hope he turns out to be the next Justin Olam from PNG

I believe Mrs Munster would really love the atmosphere at a Lidcombe oval home game for the Maggies, where the crowd ironically, is always 4786.

I can’t believe I forgot Lidcombe, I grew up there. Yeah Lilly could get a nice little place overlooking rookwood. We have so many nice places with a view to live at.

What about the wobbly old pass he threw from DH, lucky he’s a winger.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Size, pace, strength and really good ball skills. He looks to promote the ball. Sheens, Marshall, Farah and Furner might be pretty happy to have him. He also is very competitive.

 

[Halbrowne61]

They both played very well from the reports I read about the schoolboy U15 titles.

Well only a few years to wait !!!!

Get them into our system early and develop them for the game Benji and Robbie want the team to play.

And I am busting to see what style of play that is ! Hope it’s good.

 

[Camel2281]

Were Dragons fans saying that in 2021?

Are you basing it off his form behind stronger forward packs than ours?

Basing it off facts. One of the two is a consistent origin and test level player. The other isn't fit to play NRL

The opposition scored 60 points we score 61 points.
Straight out of the Sheen’s play book.

5 hit ups and a bomb aka the Maguire style will not be in sight.

 

[Don Kershane]

The style was was copied from earlier lessons at Arthur Murrays dance studio- two steps sideways, three back and a kick.

that 1 million on Brooks is just a back ended deal the other 4 years he was on a lot less than that.
Munster would be a huge coup for the club
