Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Because I watched the Raiders when Furner was their coach - he’d have been implementing defensive systems as a head coach would he? - they were ordinary, and his winning rate was about 40% - hardly screams a solid defensive unit??

Robbie played for us his Whole career (basically) and we were never known as a solid defensive unit - although his defence improved.
we were known as if you score 42, well score 43.
And we didn’t win more than 50% of the time…

I’m yet to hear a reason, or a reference to past any accomplishments that point to either being successful in such a role and where such an assumption would come from.

To your point - a happy clapper here implied they were some sort of defensive coaching gurus - and I simply asked how that assumption could be made?

Everyone hopes they do or can - but that’s very different to claiming (with nothing to base it off) that they will

Maguire was a mediocre player but a premiership winning coach. Bellamy was a good club centre and premiership winning coach. Sheens was an average player and premiership winning coach. All copped hidings in their career but turned out good coaches. Fitter was a great player and state of origin winning coach but dud nrl coach. Farah didn't coach sides but maybe he can see where to improve in defensive structures. Who knows? It's all conjecture but let's hope it all works out. There is no statistics that proves that playing in a team that gets thrashed won't make you a good coach, eg Bellamy. Maybe he learned from the early Canberra days.
 
Not sure but are transfer fees allowed in NRL? I can't remember ever hearing about it before. If allowed, is there any reason why that couldn't be done for MM (if we get him) in 23 instead of giving 2 outside backs?

I don’t follow the Mole..so I don’t know the context. Was he just answering someone’s questions and having a guess? Or was it “breaking news”?

Mole is Tony Adams a friend of Sheens, in the Tigers case he would have better mail than Hooper, Read, Rothfield Chamas, Caryanis and the like
I think we have our man finally for 2024

If in 2024 Moses signs with tigers

If parramatta said for 2023 you can have Moses but we want

Simpkin - cover for hodgson

Joffa - replacement for Papali

I would do that swap

I'd tell them to kick rocks...
& we'll just wait until 2024

Simpkin is still young &
fighting with Rua for a
Bench spot behind Api..
we could do with Joffas
drive and leadership at
least another year too.

If we land MM, it's a shoot
out between Brooks & AD
too see who gets extended
next year. Preety simple ..

Just can't see Moses being a player with the temperament to sign with WTs and play for Parra this season. He will only need to be a bit off and Parra fans will crucify him.

Best time would be to get him in
now, but not at the cost of 2 solid
players on our roster with nobody to replace them with. Like Demps
said, bit of fantasy football there.

one of the members said they
would trade MM for two players
the other day and it's just gone
on from there... Not very realistic

Lock him in for 2024, maybe look
at a mid-year trade down the line,
goal would be to sign him first imo.
You could strengthen the squad
around him for next year. Simple

If he did sign for 2024. I wouldn’t give Parra anyone we want to keep. Parra will want him gone and want to move on. The advantage will be with the WTs.

I heard Jan 4th a while back in an interview and then another player said Jan 5th (can't remember who said it). Either way, they should be back in next couple of days.

Think it's next week full squad
due back. COE has been open
for them to use facilities still I
believe. Full squad next week
