Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Don’t get me wrong, Peach has been a dreadful buy. I just aren’t too fussed we’ve gotten rid of him for shit staines

Stryker, since Staines made first grade I've had him as one of my cash cows and naturally I've kept an eye on him.
I can say this with confidence....Staines will put the effort in especially coming to a new club whereas The Peach is lazy imo.
Peach has the talent but he didn't show the enthusiasm of an experienced ex rep player which was very disappointing.
He was a so called leader and should have been a jack-in-the-box. Not a good example to raw players cutting their teeth, like Daino.
Daino was lazy at times and appeared lost....that when the leaders like Peach step in and lead by example. The whole NRL side this year was toxic in attitude, commitment and execution and that's why we got the spoon.
Things have to change and getting rid of bad attitudes is a good start.

and asked for a release with mage not Sheens in charge

... and then this week occurred.

Sheens Might even give Laurie a roaming license

Doesn’t do it effectively now at fullback can’t see him doing it from half LAZY

 

[Tito Santana]

I have read a lot of mixed views onLaurie.
One thing most (who support him) will agree, he gives his all.
Bit like Brett Hodgson and Corey Thompson

To me personally, I rather take effort over skill, some skilled players put in less effort

Yep I don’t know why some on here don’t like Daine. Kid is a gun and has X factor about him. If he follows the ball a bit more he’s going to be real threatening.

Earl we are top 8 next year , where is your positive thinking , it’s time to bounce back , and we will

🤣🤣🤣

 

[Wiz]

Are you able to elaborate a little more. Is your informant close to the inner sanctum at the club or something that you heard down at the local.

We can’t have locked him up. We can’t offer him a formal contract until 1 November. Perhaps we have agreed to terms? Hopefully. He is my number 1 option for us to sign come 1 November (but I want him for 2023).

Brooks won't be strengthening Newcastle...

Haha laughed at that and then realised we've been doing that for a long time 😥

Quick @pawsandclaws1 and @Jedi_Tiger get over there and give the Knights fans some hard facts about how good he could be for them.

You could give then alot of hope on how he could turn there club around and point out how fast he is.

I'm sure they would love to hear all the arguments we have been having to read from you two for that last couple of day 😆

 

[Tito Santana]

Now I think of it, if we’re going to have Staines we may as well have Robert Jennings back. Both are shit.

Pretty much beat an in form cowboys and broncos in consecutive weeks with 2 different 5/8s
Works well

Broncs lost to us on their way down the shitter.

 

[BAGNF05]

But isn’t your 7 the equivalent of the quarterback, gets things moving, organising plays etc. I’ve heard Peter Sterling and Joey Johns say many times that the 7 has a critical role.
I’m not saying that Brooks is the right answer just that you need someone very capable in that role or the spine is very wobbly.
Cleary, Hynes, Moses, etc.

It’s a poor analogy because the QB is way more influential than a HB. Totally different sports. But sticking with your analogy we’ve had a kindergarten class in the offensive line for too long. Our QB hasn’t had a hope in hell.

Too many glory days old timers..

Instant uplift of speed.

Defensively we are shot but Sheens isn’t playing a defensive strategy.

Can’t believe he still thinks winning games 38-36 will see us make the finals.

Word is it’s a done deal and I am assuming it’s for 2024 (I didn’t ask).

He has been off the mark before but works in footy and generally gets good oil.

 

[Cobarcats]

I used to love watching Luke when he was on fire but it's time to try something else. You can't drive a car that's missing a front wheel, it just goes in circles and gets nowhere.
