Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

These idiots running the joint need to sign the Fainu brothers asap and put them straight into the side. Latu can't be any worse than our other halves.

Latu would change things thus season. I.e not last

To me it was fine because motion took him over the line,if the arm was the only thing over the line it would have been a double movement imho

I wasn’t sure if you could promote the ball after it has touched the ground

That's right you can't.
If momentum is enough to get him over the line, then why would've he felt the need to extend his arm fully after already touching the ground.
There was still a chance he could've been short of the line or held up if he doesn't make that double movement.

Basically the test is how damp the field is 😂

Do you think things would be rainbow and sunshine if they gave then prior notice?

Recruitment an issue and they done something about it I don't get this issue always being raised.

Exactly… it’s not as if Warren McDonnell was setting the damn world on fire .. most of his signings have been blood terrible

It shows a dysfunction between Board and Coach's. Lack of transparency is never good in any business.

They brought back Sheens to make those types of decisions because they were getting everything wrong. One of their rare good decisions. Then they undermine him which makes bringing him back another bad decision because now he’s just angry and divisive. They are just muppets without a clue.

Recruitment has been poor tho.

Last night just re-affirmed we need a cleanout in the halves & outside backs.

On Wednesday I posted these 11 players out of our top 30 who will be or should be released/traded before next season.

OUT: Nofa, Kepaoa, Laurie, Wakeham, Tuki, Seyfarth, Jake Simpkin, Lomi Saukuru, Brooks, Talau & Offa.

The only one I would reconsider and give him the rest of the season to secure a contract is Seyfarth.

Still doesn't answer the question I pose.

I'm aware of what you daid it's been said a 1000 times.

Yes it has but it still has been superior to the coaching

 

[tigermate]

Im hearing lots of bad things

Love u guys

But don’t want you on a fools errand here dreaming

Hope I’m wrong

I’ve been in touch with management to try and boost things

But as they stand - things are going to get pretty bad

Recruitment wise, players wanting exits, juniors too.

The sheens Fulton benji dynamic - as it stands is a a complete cluster fck

And mgmt have backed all of them

So I don’t know how they make it work

Again hope I’m wrong

Just saying prepare for much worse to come

I know this doesn’t make your day any better

But hopefully if I’m right you won’t feel as disappointed.

And if I’m wrong you’ll be super happy.

Let’s see

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Jack Welsby - we need to exhaust all avenues to sign this guy as our 5/8!

 

[tony soprano]

I’d argue we just had our best recruitment drive in 20 years. Our recruits have been strong this year.

Also, don’t the muppets claim they stay out of football matters?

Recruitment has wayyyyyy more to go if they can get it done remains to be seen.

 

[tony soprano]

Agree, boys look unfit

 

[teddy23]

One things for sure... I know we haven't been performing great lately but I really hope Blore isn't on the trading block he looks to be elevating his game under Sheens/Benji and I'm excited to see if he can fulfil his potential that made him the SG Ball captain of that Penrith team that did so much damage.

Seems to be one of the only positives this season he can be anything imo

Wow Tigermate that does not sound good at all. Every time you think we may have reached rock bottom it seems there's more depth to fall. But thanks for the info and I appreciate the spirit with which you provided it.

 

[teddy23]

I’d want to see at least a full season or two out of him before offering him much at all. He’s injury prone.

I agree but if he can stay healthy for the rest of this season and continue at this rate. A full preseason healthy under Benji/Sheens next year with hopefully more direction in our halves then he can really take his game to the next level.

Always has had disrupted pre-seasons, so this next 12 months can be massive for Blore.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

I'm not worried. Lee said we are about to enter "an aggressive recruitment campaign" when has he ever got it wrong?

To me it was fine because motion took him over the line,if the arm was the only thing over the line it would have been a double movement imho

The only part of his body that actually crossed the line was his arm which he extends. If he kept the ball where it was it ends up short. Clear double movement to me.
