Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

I think you will find its Stephen Crichton of panthers they are talking about...

Cld be anyone.

Why would Panthers release him.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Swap Douhei!! Why would a club release a big name player, unless its the Roosters with their 3 fullbacks Manu, Teddy and Sualiaii

only way douhie would be released would be if by some chance we were signing

George Williams for 2023 and paying a transfer fee but very doubtful.

Don't think Moses would agitate a release from parramatta

Maybe Tyson Frizell to us ?

Do think it is Crichton to the dogs

Doesn't Joseph Suaalil have the get out of contact at the end of every year he can leave just walk away

Panthers wont release Crighton, they have shown even if players have signed for another club they keep them ie. Burton and Api

 

[Speed2burn]

Interesting article from Riccio
Could Sheens possible land Bateman and Nannai and let go Douhie for 2023
Pack
8. Joffa
9. Api
10. Klemmer
11. Papali
12. Nannai
13. Bateman

7 Brooks

6. Laurie

5. Ken M

4. Naden

3. Kepoa / Starford

2. Nofo

1. Staines

If Douhie was to be moved on Laurie could play 6 and we would still have 2 spots left

If Laurie was to play in the halves he’d have to put on 5-7kg muscle minimum … I couldn’t imagine him making 20+ tackles a game in his current frame

No bigger than a 2 min noodle

probably that guy A Furphy

By Rd 10 each year I believe...

Honestly the two Crichton's are so confusing.
Angus vs Stephen. Man I know ones a far better player but we need the one with 9.

SHOOSH

Which big-name NRL star is talking to a rival Sydney club about the possibility of him quitting his team for an immediate switch. It is potentially a monster story.

MM > WTs ?

I love the positivity, but it's probably much more likely a player wanting out of WT. Doeuihi perhaps.

I don't actually don't know, mine was in response to the original posters comment...

papi and Bateman can be minders like all other teams have, second rowers who actually help the halves tackle when traffic is run at them, unlike what we have had for the last 4 years or so

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

I reckon he's better than brooks, but only by a nose

Plus, he's got that Ringo Starr look about him.

 

[Speed2burn]

For years we haven’t had a decent defensive 2nd rower … brooks makes a dozen more tackles than he is supposed to because of this

Hopefully that’ll change next year

 

[bathursttiger1]

I think I would need to lay down if that happened

They can barely fit Nu Brown in their cap for this year, how could they afford Crichton too?

The Dogs are making a play for Herbie as well.
Uncle Nick must have lent Gus the Cap auditor.

 

[supercoach]

Zero transparency with the cap, no wonder the average person has no faith in the system. The Dogs might be compliant but we will never know so there is always a question mark...and I guess that applys to all 17 teams

 

[Tigerwould]

Brown and Moses are both contracted for next year only - so it wouldn’t make 1 iota of difference for 24.
Matamua did nothing but get sent off
And Blore hasn’t played for 18 months…

Next

I’d wouldn’t be rushing to sign Brown. He could do a job for us in 2023 but with 3 spots left in the Top 30 … others priorities first.
From what has been reported Bateman will probably take spot 27. Spot 28 needs to be another spine option (hopefully a halfback). After those two spots are filled, a lot of teams leave the last spot open . Hoping to jag a good player after the trials.

I reckon it's either herbie farnworth or adam to the dogs

 

[diedpretty]

A few years ago they advertise to get people to take in young players from out of town

A truly professional club would have in house accommodation for younger players and single out of towners. As someone suggested earlier building accommodation at the COE would have been brilliant. Is the eastern side of the ground being utilised at all?
