Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Dead set right.

Cooper Cronk has a coaching brain potentially in excess of Bellamy or Bennett. Bellamy would tell how at training Cooper Cronk would ask "hey Coach, why are we doing this", always a stack of questions. Cooper understood the tiny details within the 1%'ers. The where to be and what to do at that precise moment.

When Cooper Coaches NRL, he is going to be an insane BOMB of a coach. Between Cronk and Haslier we see two awesome coaches waiting for the lacklustre clubs to offer them a good contract.
unfortunately i dont think Cronk has any interest in becoming an NRL coach.
 
Do we see a world where Doueihi stays on if we sign Moses for 2024?
no. views himself as a 6 or a 7 and Brooks will be retained as a bargaining chip to lure Moses over. unfortunate given he's a local junior and is passionate about the club but I don't expect to see him here in 2024.
 
There are no leaks so how do we know what has or hasn't occurred?
I know that we have new coaches with a reported different approach, and a strengthened pack that has previously impacted our halves - not just one of them. So what has been largely agreed on as a reason for holding them back, has been addressed. If you back them, chasing Moses on - significant dollars whatever the details - before a ball is thrown this season implies that the coach/s even with improvements, are not convinced.

To be honest i doubt if he will become a coach because he would be on decent money doing commentary with zero stress to get results as compared to what is the toughest gig of all in being a first grade coach in the NRL.
It is only a matter of time in coaching before you get the chop,results especially premierships are everything

I think it’s too early to tell but if Doueihi’s defence improves and he shows he can ignite the background then he’ll be a very valuable half (maybe too valuable in terms of $).
Money aside, Moses at 7. Brooks or Doueihi and 6 & 14. Brooks could cover D.H. As well.
Dreaming really, I could see us holding on to them all.
Good thing is, no half or fullback has a contract beyond Nov this year..so its a shootout.

So much can happen in a year in the NRL. Who would have thought Klem; Paps ,Api , Stains and trying to buy Moses, would have happened ? The buying has not stopped for 2024, more shocks on the horizon i imagine. It appears that the days of keeping duds is over. It is difficult to judge the performance of individuals last year, as we were always on the back foot, wisely the club has taken a wait and see approach, and like you said it will be a shootout ."
