Thanks to the Pom for the update.
Nothing much different to what i thought although disappointed to read the Leniu is not much chance of coming to us. IMO he is the one we need.
I think we’ll get Klemmer and it seems Musgrove doesn’t want to go.
In my view something has to give in the halves - at least one of Brooks, Douehi or Hastings will go.

ENFIELD FEDERALS here

Wasn’t that PVLs junior club ?
I spent a little time at the Balmain Coppers, boxing and footy.
Kept getting knocked down so gave up boxing and thought I would do alright at footy till I marked a bloke one day called Geoff Starling.
I was making huge hits…at fresh air. Moved from the centres after that!

Gee if we are rid of Brooks and only have to pay 200k, that's a pretty good outcome. We didn't win a game this year with Brooks at 7.

Play Hastings at 7 where we won 2 of the 3 games, sign Klemmer and see who we can get for 2024 (possibly get them a year early with Brooks' money).

Of course for those who don’t know he ended being a Kangaroo until a bad illness finished him. Was a centre in the Chris Lawrence mould.

Good old Blackmore boy.

Hastings played 11 games at halfback for 3 wins.

David Klemmer has an offer on the table from the club worth $2.1m over 3 years, the club willing to pick-up the full tab of his $800K deal for 2023 with the remaining 2 years being $650K.

Knights have asked for Brooks in return but want the club to pick-up the $200k difference, Sheens is keen to coach Brooks & don't see this side of things eventuating.



The Staines/Peachey swap is currently at an impasse, Staines want's longer deal than offered, currently our offer is only for the 2023 season, we may go in for 2024 but not the 3 years he's after.



To address the Nanai talk, from a personal belief I see him staying at the Cowboys, but it is true that come November 1 the club will be having a red hot crack at him, this comes after Liam's Martin management informed the club that his options were either Panthers (which he'll most likely stay) or Parramatta.



Musgrove does have significant interest from the Dragons but he's told the club twice now that he doesn't want to leave & earn his place in the 17.



The hope of getting Spencer Leniu seems all but hope Jakes Simpkin has been discussed as a potential swap but he's also be discussed with Eels also for a Swap with Nathan Brown, we aren't the only club looking at Spencer & his management has been speaking to multiple clubs, Storm are well & truly in the mix here.



John Bateman talks have increased recently after Wigan became more reasonable about a potential transfer fee. Don't be surprised if start being linked to St Helens backrower Joe Batchelor, he's signed for 2023 but recently employed a Australian agent & is keen to give the NRL a crack (Sheens knows this) also young Wigan Forward Morgan Smithies has been discussed.

Expecting some noise around Hastings to be come louder publicly soon as it appears unlikely a deal won't be done prior to November 1.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Jason Bateman

He's had a number of offers and in all of them gets to play lead.

Thanks for the update @THE_POM . Do you know what the latest is with Tommy Talau, Nu Brown, Henry O'Kane & who may be on our T&T list?

V/good player. We didn't have much luck with centres - Dennis Bendall was another.

 

[Garrry]

At ENFIELD FEDERALS a few players went on to 1st grade, tim pickup, hey, serdaris, farah, hasam elmasri, Jason Williams, Solomon haumono, Brett Clark, see a few of them at our reunion roughly round 1 or 2 of the nrl season

Tommy Talau will be in the top 30.
Nu Brown was offered a fair 2 year deal to stay but wanted more, Club will not budge on the offer & expect him to leave.
Henry O'Kane was sitting on the fence last I heard, offer still on the table, believe he will stay.
As mentioned previously Albert Kelly has been spoken to about training with the club in the offseason, only other confirmed T&T at the moment is Brandon Mansfield.

Do you think we will actually get Klemmer or do you think we will have to let brooks go to make it happen?
All I want is Hastings resigned as main focus.

 

[earl]

This roster won't win many games

Unless Sheens somehow gets them playing a lot better and/or quality juniors make the grade.

 

[earl]

Like useless halfbacks on a $million a year?

I don't think Brooks is useless but it's no good signing him for 1 million per year. Same as Doueihi on 650k a year is a dud deal.

I remember something the moron Ivan said which was true. The players tend to make these decisions. We offer than a certain amount and other clubs offer a certain amount and they choose.

 

[gallagher]

POMs updates are far better than toss the boss

Yes I do & no won't be dependent on Brooks.
Hastings is a priority but seems a couple hurdles need to be jumped 1st to get it over the line
