Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I was reading one of our WT fb groups earlier, they have some great minds there. One extraordinarily long post was not on board with us potentially swapping ice or Stef for AFB.
So in his infinite wisdom suggested we sign Capewell because that who the Warriors would really like and then swap him for AFB 😂

Ifs almost like players are pawns
 
Have been for a while, and the more swap type deals that happen the more it will be normal.
On one hand, you say they have a voice when it comes to talk of clubs moving them on to make cap room, but the way they kowtow to their manages makes you think they are really are pawns. Crazy how much power their managers wield over them.
 
Less than 8 mill between then and next year....

Minimum wage has also doubled over more squad members.
The total grant (for admin) to the clubs came in between now and then though...
None of that remotely alters my point.
 
And they are worth every cent of the investment.. if they turn out to become the players they have shown the potential to become that will be absolute bargain.. Latu is Kalyn Ponga or Trbojevic or Munster like Junior talent , I think he can have an immediate impact on first grade the way they did and we will be glad we showed early faith in them . Same with Galvin and also Sullivan ..
Goodness me, so we have generational talent coming out our arse , wonder why their original clubs weren’t that fussed.

Managers/Leeches are a blight on the game and should be NRL regulated somehow. I know I’m dreaming bcoz the NRL can’t even police the cap.
 
We ARE their original club (jnrs we kept).
The OP compared Fainu to Ponga and Sullivan got a mention too. I think we need to take a chill pill on our juniors. If a great footy mind like Bellamy was to summarise their talent he would be quick to tell you they are nowhere near competent NRL players and any building them up prior to seeing them in FG is pretty counterproductive.

My bad I didn't read OP's post I should have.
I agree with your sentiment Bags. Give them
time, they're not ready yet 4 the most part.
The cream always rises 2 the top, let's see

Our rookie coach and our rookie players will need time. I suspect wins won’t be frequent this year and I’m most interested to see how our shitty administrators handle another failed season.

Haha I'm confident we'll do much better!
admin is a whole other story though lol

Managers are needed simply because slot of players don't understand or don't want any part of the business side of negotiations they just want to play footy

Yeah a necessary evil.
I’ve done a fair bit of sales, training and negotiating, and I reckon I’d use one in a players situation too. You need to take the emotion out of it.
