Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[FrodoTBaggin]

No need to nitpick

You're right, no need for discussion on a place literally built on discussion. I will just blindly agree next time sir!

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

He's off contract.

They could just... not offer anything.

No Demps, that would be too logical. Don't you know everything has to be a conspiracy!

People just like to have the hot take.

Personally, until AD plays and shows anything, he's lucky to be offered a contract at all.

The half back thing is just bizzare.

This I agree with, I am surprised more haven't pointed it out. Doesn't even want 6, dude now sees himself as a 7.

 

[boonboon]

One call out is that the halfback part isn't a quote whereas everything else has a quote so would wonder what he actually said

The article makes that claim, yet there is no quote from AD saying that.

Strange article.
Strange suggestion.

Got the 1 million dollar man coming and the future of the club, in Galvin... Latu and Bud. We don't need any more halves it seems.

Probably said something along the lines of he sees himself as a half, and someone took that to mean halfback

5th choice half option for the club

AD may see himself as a Nico hynes type half (tall/ball player), but all conjecture without an actual quote

Hynes >

Hastings scenario all over again.
He'll have to be a half at a new club.
Possibly in a new country.

Lol good luck

 

[hodgo]

Everytime i wact burns play i feel like he is a solid veteran winger

 

[Bula]

Shows he is as dumb as dog shit.

Send him packing with a goodbye Elna Press.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Wonder if Wayne has a crack at AD back up half or maybe the roosters was offered a contract before he came to us. Either way whether its here or elsewhere i cant see anyone paying much more than what we offered.
I think we perhaps offered AD a minimum wage contract probably knowing he would look elsewhere.
We are stacked for halves we don't need another especially one who's coming off the back of 3 ACL's, centre is the only place i see a spot for him potentially a 14.

This. Players do not perform at their best here.

Same thing happens when we sign players, look no further than Papali’i. Compare his stats in his time here vs at Parra.

It’s like a Tiger curse !! We must find the root cause of the problem to fix it fast !!!

There isn’t a greater example of a wrecking ball that came here and turned into a powder puff. He was the best forward in the comp In 21 and 22. Now he wouldn‘t be top 10.

From the DT about Doeuihi:

He wants to push his claims as a halfback when he returns and has dropped 5kg from his playing weight of last season to be 94kg.

So he's definitely gone. Coaches have already told him what his positions are. But he trains and loses size? That says it all for me. Not a team player, not an easy player to coach. Way too arrogant. Goodbye

 

[balmain boy]

I struggle to understand Adams thinking at times. He has longed to play 6 with very mixed results, some would argue failure. Now he wants to be the world's biggest halfback at a club that has signed a million dollar player to play that position moving forward.

His good attributes are suited to other positions so why is he so determined to play in the halves?

He either accepts he has to play a position that requires more physical contact and toughness, or he retires.

Because halves get paid the most and the glory (if you win). I'd let him go as soon as he wants to go

 

[balmain boy]

can we sign David Armstrong from the knights….fast, dynamic, great support player….why can’t Bula be like this guy

I was thinking this too. Comes from nowhere and he's getting more results than Bula. He supports and does things a million miles an hour. Bula still operates on cruise control too much.

Let's be honest, if we offered nothing, the optics would be bad for the club. It's a way to save face for club and player knowing full well what the end result will be.
