Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I’d go hard for Herbie, he’s a quality player his attack is amazing and he’s defence is quality also!! If it means giving him fullback I’d be doing so!! The kid is absolute class!! Unless by some miraculous miracle we snagged Joey manu he would be the bloke I’d target

Herbie is signed for 2023 at the Broncos. I‘m guessing this is for 2024. Like Moses.

Paying Farnworth FB money is a big risk. His talent is not in question. Looks the goods playing centre for Brisbane. Never seen him at FB. This could be a huge game changer for us if it works out.

Yeah good player but unproven at fullback. All good if you can tackle or run hard. But you have to position yourself to do those things.

Just saw this on the other forum

What forum?

It'd have to be pretty good money for Farnsworth to come here

 

[Demps]

Yeah, just my opinion.

I don’t rate Laurie very highly.

Neither

 

[Hmm]

Is it just me barring up with all these signings?

I’m so barred up you could call me Goulburn Supermax

Yep. It sounds like dribble.

Rubbish , we need Bateman , no matter if we sign Moses , we have plenty of money in the cap , we moved 14 players on the cap is going up and we have only signed 5 players so far , Bateman makes 6

 

[SeanT]

I'd say it is fullback style contract $ which is the attraction.

750k a year? If he nails it then we come out ahead. If he doesn't we would have an overpriced rep centre so it's a risk I would take

Modern Day Matt Utai -
Horrible trainer (Well, Was when he was at Parra)

Pass.....

over the years, we have (had) so many players that train like Tarzan and play like Jane. not sure I'd judge on training ability

 

[Demps]

Fair call - As I also said, He's a modern day Matt Utai - Outside back that debuted at like 25....
I'll judge him on being Shite.

I don't rate To'a and think the Knights selling him to then turn around and sign Leleisiuao
for 3 years - Is the stupidest thing I've seen this year....

And there's been some stupid things.

Who's Lelelsiuao?
Greg Marzchew?

 

[Harvey]

To build from within, we need to show that players from our turf are important to us.

That's how we build from our juniors. That's how we re-sign people for an under-market price and build a team. Show them we're more than a logo and that the brand is something deeper.

We can never be a checkbook club full of mercenaries. We need something more. Bringing as many of them home, where they can play a part, starts to re-grow that brand with a depth of purpose that we've lost in years gone by.

It's going to help us retain our juniors.

The only benefit in bringing back blokes that walked out and slagged the club off is that they might point out it is better to be a legend here than garbage at a superstar club

 

[KingRobbie]

Who's Lelelsiuao?
Greg Marzchew?

Yeah, Marzhew was a gun in the U/20's for Parra.

Was called Greg Leleisiuao back then.

 

[Telltails]

Pom said he'd informed the club he intended to sign with the Knights.
Why that happened is anyones' guess - They're all playing chess.

That's of course - If it actually happened.

Sheens was OS at the time. He clearly has backed him ahead of all others and is building what on paper looks like a stronger pack for him to play behind. How Brooks responds to that will either have fans singing Sheens praises, or wanting his head on the chopping block.

So I am not one of those plane-spotting persons, nor do I stalk people on social media.

However it is conceivable to fly to Sydney via LA, if you plan a US stop-over. It's not as if it's out of the way, it's just not as time-efficient as flying East from London.

Unfortunately therefore his current location does not conclusively kill the possibility that he's still eventually going to end up in Australia.

Not sure about you Jirskyr ...but if I was up and leaving for a few years to the other side of the world I'm not sure if I'd be heading via LA ...... and a holiday

Who knows what might end up in your boogie board .....or what happens to everything you are bringing ....but that's just me

But he is a Pom ..hey @hobbo1

 

[happy_tiger]

Yeah, Marzhew was a gun in the U/20's for Parra.

Thought he looked familiar ..and explains why I was a Lelesiuao fan as well lol

 

[the_third]

Yup....
Was a gun kid, But vanished when it got tough....
Then moved to Titans and changed his name.

sounds like a pre 2023 WT

 

[happy_tiger]

NOPE.

Even with Klemmer and Nathan Brown we have NOT solved our lack of Aggression.

That is exactly why we are in the mess we were in for 2022. Our culture needs to demand Aggression and pride. Russell Packer, Josh Reynolds, Robbie Roccow were known for their aggression. We clearly had some aggressive players and they mellowed.

We need to demand aggression in our club, training and culture. Else we will be mellowing Klemmer and Brown instead of having them help motivate us!

And so was Edwards ..had that ranga fight at a drop of a hat style early on
