Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Moses Manager say this will be sorted before Xmas?
If thats the case only 3 Business days to go before we know the answer.

IMO I think it needs to be wrapped up prior to the Xmas break so when all the players return after the break they know whats happening and can just focus on footy.

I think Souths are announcing the extensions of Walkers and LM tomorrow so I would assume the salary cap might be sorted finally as well.
 
All spine spots except for hooker are up for grabs the way I see it.

There’s also a huge reason why neither Laurie or AD have secured contracts elsewhere at this point despite it being public knowledge they’ve not been extended at WT.
 
Let's see what the Newcastle forum say mid next year. He does have footy IQ, but a frontrowers speed. --One hump or 2 for you guys?
I am not sure why Hastings is copping so much on here.

He busted his guts for us and has a genuine footy IQ.

Speed is not a factor IF you give him a 6 who has speed and can play off the cuff footy.

And he will have that in Ponga.

I actually think they will be a great pairing as their skillsets combine well.

I have been a long term Brooks fan on here...watched him since Holy Cross.

But, facts are facts, he can barely string a sentence together and has shown no ability to understand the game. Cooper Cronk commented a couple of years back that Brooks went to the side of the field for an entire set once when our opp had 12 men. Never once went to the side that was short.

I like him, and will always support a Balmain kid.

But anyone expecting Brooksy to develop any sort of game managing IQ in year 10 or so of his career will be disappointed. Yet again.

We need, desperately, to find a game managing half from somewhere. I still can't quite fathom why we did not swap Brooks for big Klem. Finding a running 6 is a hell of a lot easier than a game managing 7, which we once again do not have...

We keep on the lookout for a halfback. Moses would be great for two years but at what cost. 1.4 mll is way overs.

If we don't get him, we just continue to go on the system. No leaks has me optimistic about future negotiations.
you realise its only a mil in the cap right? is that overs?

Hastings cops it from the same couple of posters purely because they are Brooks fanatics and think if they bag Hastings it will magically make Luke a better player.

Your post is spot on
 
Someone posted about getting Slater to coach our fullbacks, well Mini is another, he spent a lot of time with Teddy, and he spoke glowingly of his help. Also with Stains, he has spent a lot of time watching Edwards turn into a top class fullback, he would have learned heaps.
Time will tell, (the tigers catch phrase)
I highly doubt Mini would do anything other than at the roosters

You dont bite the hand that feeds you
 
Was at a Xmas party tonight and I ran into a good friend of Michael Maguire man I have so much more respect for him now he got bent over hard by the Tigers and for him not to open his mouth he is a gentleman I wish him all the best and a few bits about Lee ..
Lee mite have to go for the Tigers to succeed

Have to admit Maguire has handled his departure with a lot of class and honour. Old school coach and gentleman. Doff me cap.
