Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Hope Sheens plays mostly younger talent in this little mini pre-season comp the NRL is planning, with a sprinkle of talent like Asu, Pole, Tupou and Matamua. Don't need any injuries to key senior guys

It’s difficult to predict what he’ll do.
The NRL has cleverly disguised the trials as a televised pre season competition, with cash incentive.
That will get the competitive juices flowing.
If our competition will be naming 28 man squads with unlimited interchange, surely we’ll be tempted to follow suit.

It’ll be young guys in the first game and the team that will likely start Round 1 in the second game.

Same as usual.

The “competition” aspect is just a marketing ploy, they’ll be the same trials as they always have been.

Everyone's missing the big picture that we are going to win the grand final this year.

Very optimistic, but love the confidence. I think it will take time for the side to find the right mix, and the young guys to gain confidence. Tenth would be a good result for me, and 2024 in the top 8 .

The cash on offer will compel clubs, especially struggling ones, to take it quite seriously.

How much cash are we talking about?

Any signing updates???

Why would you come here for that??? Didn't you know this thread was created for everything but signings and rumours bahahaha

 

[SeanT]

I can’t believe it’s actually come to arguing about arguing… it’s like spending the weekend with my 10 & 12 yr olds.

Sorry but that argument just doesn't hold up...

How much cash are we talking about?

$100K

Of course not. Just rancid mail and bullshit.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

$100K, so the same amount of coin for winning the JJ Giltnan Shield.

You've got to play 25 rounds to come out on top to win that sort of money. The cash strapped clubs will take it seriously.

$100K

That buys a truck load of Gatorade and strapping tape. Might get us back in Braith's good books 🙂 Send him some over....

Only as long as the truck runs him over.

Yep. No Pom updates.
But @CloudyGlock wrote this yesterday that Brooks is doing some kind of media thing soon and will announce a contract extension.
Also said a few days ago that we have had a go for Ethan Sanders and nothing is set in stone with this one yet.
