Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[clontarfkid]

People wonder why Shonky keeps on getting the bullet from clubs he goes to,i don't i just wonder how he finds clubs stupid enough to sign him.
In walks WT brains trust.

Ive seen nothing so far that doesnt indicate Sheens passed his use by date about a decade ago..maybe more
Astonished by his firing of Madge without a replacement,then have it all play out in the media with Ciraldo...cldnt imagine the better clubs doing that.Actually,cldnt inagine ANY clubs being so naive tbh
Then totally gobsmacked by his release of key players mid season,which destined WTs to the spoon..kick the brand to the kerb to .to simply save a few sheckles...???
Now the release of one of the few with commitment in Hastings,and worse the retention of Brooks...
Dunno...without some surprise signings from UK(and not Bateman,also in the use by category),I just think were doomed for another half decade with Sheens in charge.
Have no confidence in his decision making

With Klemmer on his way and potentially Bateman we can afford to play a young gun in the pack like Matamua now. There is plenty of experience to drip feed our youth into the team.

It's going to be hard fitting them all in. I've never been convinced Hastings at 13 will work especially over the course of the season.

He was not quick, but also not slow,. He had Brett Kenny at 5/8, Price at lock, and a forward pack to die for. Plus the game was completely different then, where centres scored tries, and locks were gods.

Not to mention a SOO backline to feed it to as well.

The cream will rise to the top Earl. Good to see competition for spots finally.

Been told it'll be Bateman at 13

Brooks hates Klemmer

Just as Tom Araya correctly predicted and CloudyGlock copied but was too stooge like to put his name to.

We are slowly climbing, another one would be icing on the cake. A few more gone at end of 23, and juniors coming through, and a big war chest. I think a lot more players will be tempted to sign for 2024. Fingers crossed !

He must hate a lot of people then

Brooks has never played behind a dominant pack like we will have in 2023…it will be interesting to see how he performs….I’ve seen Cleary struggle behind a pack that doesn’t go forward….It appears Bunji wants to retain Brooks, so he must see something in him us punters don’t…..

 

[426Tlgerland]

Klemmer , Appi , Big Steph
Bateman , Blore , Pappi
Brooks , AD
Joffa , Pole , Twal

this will Tame Newcastle with Hastings

No excuses then .. but I’m sure the brooks lovers will come up with something

Good scoop @Tom Araya

Should be spicy, round 2 i think it is we play Knights!!

At least our halves next year Brooks and Douhei should have a good forward pack to play off the front foot

I’m confused, I thought Araya said Brooks/ Klemmer announcement last Friday.

Said it before and saying it again, our stocks fell badly the evening that Matulino limped off the field for the final time at Parramatta stadium.

I hope that you are correct about our coming pack being dominant, as all winning teams rely upon on that consistent base.

The week prior.
