Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

I would try to sign Mitch for 24 and if that happened would then try to transfer AD for Mitch in 23 That would free more cash for Parra to sign Dylan Parra gets something and maybe offer a hooker so they save face a two for one player trade

Remember how confident some of these sources were that we had Latrell Mitchell?! We as fans have been burnt before. I hope we get Moses…but I’m not counting my chickens before they hatch!

Woods was quoted as saying this the other day!!! Surely he is taking the mickey?

"“You never dump on your employer because it reflects poorly on your character,” Woods told the Herald on Tuesday."

Did he really say that ? People can lack self-awareness so intensely.

That is hilarious.

Plus for supposed idiots/morons Fletch and Hindy often get labelled with they are living the life - and not on a shoestring.

My wife loves both of them. She reckons they are doing really well. Living large.

My expectation is that we don't sign him. We are desperate for a quality 1, 6 or 7 and I don't think we have juniors coming through that are anywhere near ready for first grade.

We probably need to replace two out of those three but I suppose it starts with getting one quality player in those critical roles.

Ok so let’s just say we miss out on Moses. Who do we go after then?! Dylan Brown, Matt Burton, who else would be a target for those positions coming off contract?! I guess you can try and get one of the roosters boys in Teddy, Manu or Suaailli to play fullback.

That's someone's opinion of KD. Don't take it as gospel. Do you think KD would've left OKC if he didn't want to win a championship? All professional athletes play to win, even the tigers. They choose to play a particular sport based on their love of the game. Well, that's my take on it...

But liken this to Rugby league you see it:
DCE - professional.
Nicho Hynes - likes playing but is far more easy going (still putting in effort above many in our squad).

We saw Gareth Ellis and James Graham ALWAYS put in 100%, likewise Paul Gallen.

Contrast:
Alfie Langer apparently wasn't even thinking of Rugby league one game he was playing. He could be thinking something totally different and yet still come up with the goods for Brisbane. Johns likewise I think played his best when he did not focus on the game too much.

In the age of 1% I don't know if you can have too many players that aren't professional and 100000% into it. Yet I get how an over focus would destroy some players. Glenn Lazarus said this (or maybe another player that went Brisbane way). Wayne Bennett got the pressure levels right with the playing group. Bellamy somehow manages to maintain 1000% intensity without players cracking.

Well at least he has learnt something.

Have you seen Hindies house at Bellavista (might be Whitehaven)? It’s massive. He’s doing alright.

 

[hank37w]

My guess is that he didn't get it from poker machine winnings.

Think more around Kent Hurst area

He’s finally learnt something then.

His mrs probably makes more money than him these days.

She heads up a business called three birds renovations and they do some stunning home transformations. They have a huge social following too.

Plenty of morons are on TV and radio and Fletch is a Moron

Plenty of morons are on TV and radio and Fletch is a Moron

Played for his country, successful businesses outside of footy, gets paid to talk and watch footy with his mates - makes 'moron' look like a difficult label to aspire to.

The article at the link is correct that at least one of Hastings, Doueihi and Brooks would leave - it suggested Hastings ahead of season 2023. The same article advises Fox League reported only one of them would stay in 2023. It reports Brooks would be the halfback in 2023 and that the club is chasing Moses and Bateman.

Our recruitment/retention is strategic where previously this didn't appear to be the case.

Tim Sheens reveals halfback stance which leaves question marks over ex-Wigan Warriors halfback Jackson Hastings' future - Rugby League News

Wests Tigers are at the heart of discussions about transfers at present. New boss Tim Sheens is reportedly chasing both Mitchell Moses and John Bateman but there are huge question marks over recruitment at present as well. The Tigers have three options in the halves in the shape of Luke Brooks...

If people are willing to take info supplied by people not in the game such as our inside men on this forum, then it seems silly not to take info supplied by people that are in the game.
Additionally, I am slightly amused that people like Johns and Fittler are taken seriously but guys like Hindy and Fletch aren’t. They basically have the same jobs, credentials and carry on the same way.

True, I actually only rate fitter more reliable only because of his affiliation to origin. Once he stops coaching the origin squad he hasn't got anything reckon him and John's are another pack of clowns.

 

[Go_You_Good_Things]

A source tells me the Moses deal is done. He will be signing with the club from 24 angling for a release for next season as well. I should point out he's been wrong on stuff before but he's also been right on a few things lately as well so I thought I'd share here.

We should celebrate great possible news this with a chicken plate at New star.

 

[hammertime]

If I was mitch, that buzz article, obviously submitted by Parra, would have me fired up to sign elsewhere.

Only if it's your shout

It's good to dream and have hope.
However based on past history of player negotiations getting media heat we suck.
I have zero confidence in MM coming until it's formally announced.
