Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[carltonleach]

Lots of people are contracted. All I know is what I was told.

Contracts mean nothing, here’s to hoping ur source is correct brother 👌

I hear Xavier Willison is heading our way.

Like it Yoss! Let's hope. Cheers mate

Is he the brute from the donkeys , and where did u hear this or is it just another rumour

It would be nice sometimes to get a bit of context where some of these rumours have come from…

Not suggesting any names of course,,, but lets be real… limited people are going to know real signings news before it is mentioned in the media…

Did the rumour get heard from some numpty at work or someone talking it up at the local pub… or did we read it on Facebook? … or perhaps you heard it via someone connected/related to the player or club?

Also any update on the rumour that we signed the dogs winger Skelton or has that ship sailed , if we could get a few good signing it would lift our spirts

That was definitely untrue. Just some idiot on here having a lend of us.

I'd just go with track record....where did you hear first for Sheens, Klemmer, Fainu? Just remember where you heard it first

That only works when the rumour turns out to be true 😛 ( about 1 in 20) … and sometimes a month later like the Fainu’s

The poster said heade it up

Watched Sheen’s presser and he does tend to dither a bit and pushes the same themes over and over, however I don’t think for 1 second that he doesn’t know exactly where we’re at - what our problems are, who our problems are and where we need fixing.

Have you heard anything in regards to Xavier Wilson was mentioned last night could be on his way to us.

Reading between the lines, Xavier Willison could be part of a swap with Simpkin.

It's well known Bronx want a hooker, and Simpkin moved here from QLD to join us.

No way possible the Broncos would simply be happy to swap Willison for Simpkin.
If this rumour is true and I certainly hope it is, the only explanation could be Willison would only currently be on the minimum wage with the Broncos where we could offer him substantially more.

We cannot afford a slow halfback or 5/8 as our edges and wider players need players inside them that are a genuine attacking threat.

100%.

There is no need for that. Just let people post their info. If it turns out great. If not we'll live.

[innsaneink]

Can’t agree , yes first interview and maybe some nerves but the little take it easy on me was just a bit of light work he shut them

When was he interviewed

 

[Bula]

Would be like WT Signing jesus.

We have enough blokes with holes in their hands.

A few with holes in their hearts and brains too.

I get what you are stating but my take is it only counts when it's official and I like to hear some rumors.

Players set the standards on the field during the game - and the bar for 90% of our players is very low. Can guarantee most of them have the end of season in sight. The loser mentality is ingrained as a squad - and makes it near impossible for coaches/clubs to break the cycle without a complete overhaul, or some mental miracle that drives the players you have to find something extra. Toa is a classic example of a player who completely dominated and outplayed arguably the best centre in competition with a stellar performance in attack and defence and has gone missing since - coaches nightmare. Barring that he may be carrying some sort of injury - explains why he is in a team running last.
I don't know if Benji can coach but would never measure him by this current squad. Api is a quality player and still is - that explains to me a lot more about our predicament.

Thats all very well and good mate, but youre drawing a comparison with Disneyland and how each employee goes into character once they get into costume. These players arent actors, and they have more of a challenge than acting like mickey mouse. Theyre putting everything on the line and they need to know that the club has their back. They need to know the club gives a Donald Duck.

100%.

How has having tnr fastest halfback who can tackle gone for us in the last ten years? The two traits that people keep going on about yet they aren’t the most important trait you need in a halfback. Organising skills, kicking game,getting the ball out to the backs, not folding when the pressure is on and your needed.
