Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

CornerPost said:
Just throwing up some ideas for discussion.. looking at realistic options for 24-25, halves and a outside back seem to be a priority.. leaving out trindal and Metcalf as it's unlikely their clubs wouldn't let them go (I know we wouldn't).. 7-TeMairi Martin.. Smart, good short kicking game, calming influence, ex tiger.. 6- Conner Tracy.. played in the halves all his juniors, very quick, knows the concept of a 3 on 2 🙄.. 4/5 Lachlan Miller.. Olympic 7's background, elusive, fast, great backup for Bula.. then hopefully some of our Matts and SG Ball juniors ( large,Conti, Matai etc) might've matured enough to be first graders..
1 Bula
2 Toupo
3 Toa
4 Naden/ Miller
5 Miller/ Naden
6 Tracy
7 TMM
What are some of your "realistic" options for 24-25 ?
P.S. wouldn't mind Frizell for a year or two either..

I think something has to give at the Warriors and we need to monitor that situation closely. Johnson, Martin, Harris-Tavita, Metcalf and Volkman gunning for two spots. Metcalf and Volkman would be ideal and both are originally from Sydney, so there is a chance we can snag one if we apply pressure. Metcalf a free agent come November 1, he's the one I'd be trying for.

similar situation at the Dragons with Amone, Sullivan and Hunt. Amone becomes a free agent on November 1 and if signed for 2025 they may be inclined to give an early release. Hunt's situation has been spoken about, but it is a little difficult.

Gold Coast have three halves around the same age in Sexton, Thomas Weaver and Tanah Boyd, plus Foran. I'm not sure if any of them are the answer but it's certainly worth a look.

agree on Connor Tracey but unsure on his situation. few rumours regarding him heading to Parramatta, but we can offer him a role in the halves which they cannot. would love him at WT. very natural eyes up footballer that just needs time in a regular position to develop into a classy first grader.

Ethan Sanders and Latu Fainu have been spoken about extensively but if we sign one then they have to be paired with an experienced half. very testing times at WT.

It’s a poker match between Issac Moses and the WT…which is why Moses got Brooks to call Bunji, so the club panics….The club will not budge on its offer to Brooks…

this is what I've thought from the outset. Isaac Moses 101. only difference is this time that our dear Chairman has decided to rear his head.

I'll be very surprised if Brooks leaves even despite all the fanfare. Townsville isn't quite Leeds but it's a long way away from home. a number of clubs have already said they're not looking at him which only strengthens WT's bargaining position. I think they might be able to extract a few more dollars out of us, but ultimately I think it's likely he stays.

Heard that we may be interested in Jack Cogger. Nothing definite but I think there may be some chat starting from us to him. His brother worked where I do up until only recently and is still close with a lot of people

He’s got Magpie blood in him.
Trevor is a relative of some kind.
 
We clearly lack a half-back and I think we should look at Toby Sexton for rest of year and next year to see how he goes. He does have pretential and would not cost alot.

Yes - Never thought for a minute Moses was ever going to allow Brooks to sign off on the first offer of a significantly reduced contract at this club, whether he stays or not. What will be interesting is the noise he tries to generate around interest from other clubs. I expect to hear leaks of offers and interest coming from everywhere - how much of that is true will remain to be seen largely on where he ends up.

Just coincidentally all these offers are starting to appear now, seeing as he's been available to field offers from last November.

Totally Agree with the assessment.

People get emotional because he is a Great guy. (He's one my Absolute Favs)

We need a better Halfback / Quarterback. A decision maker. A Leader

Past performance IS A Future indicator.

Dont believe the Managers Propaganda and the Click bait

Perfect sentiment, I'm hyper critical of Brooks the halfback but don't hate the person, I'm sure he's one in a million as a bloke. But in terms of performance in his position he hasn't worked out, he has the pack now and we are totally rudderless in the opp 20. It's time to move on. Or he takes a back seat as a depth signing on a hugely reduced contract.

I think? Atkinson just resigned by Cronulla that's why I thought Tracey might be looking for an opportunity.. haven't seen much of Sexton since he was dropped.. no nothing about Robertson but I'll keep an eye out.. hopefully better than Pellow.. Fulton needs to earn his money by sounds of it..

Just checked. Yeah you are right, he has. I missed that news at the time, sorry
