Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

I don’t think you fully understand the deeply ingrained culture which gives QLD the edge over the Blues?
Do you seriously think Storm would attract all those QLDers if they were coached by a Blue?

I’m pretty sure the Storms 20+ year track record is what signs them players.

Queenslander
We should sign him, could be 18th man for the cheer girls (if we still have cheer girls)

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't work too hard to keep Stef. But I can't understand if that's the case why they'd offer him $800k a year in the first place. You'd make an offer that he'd find unacceptable.

They did that to Brooks. He had asked twice to be released though. To my knowledge, Stef hasn’t stated publicly that he wants out.
Having those clauses in his contract didn’t ring any alarm bells obviously? Hope we don’t lose him. After another year he will be in the top 6 props. Such a damaging runner and fast too, could out run our wingers.k

Yeh... I missed Woods and lodge

Let me aim next time, there’s no way I’m missing Woods giant ass or lodges giant block head.

They are coached by a Blue

I’m pretty sure them players are responsible for the clubs 20+ year record.

I’m talking about a true blue.

What is the plan with Latu Fainu?

Get his hammy fixed

Something is up with Cobbo, noticed the last few weeks he’s been really down in the effort areas. A lot of walking out there. Not surprised he was left out of origin. Perhaps contract related.

Just getting ready for life at the Wests Tigers.

Not to mention the power boats. 🤣

Just read a media release , that says south’s will have a big war chest to sign many players. So they have lost burgess and cook and maybe illas, think best would be 1.6 million , now they have signed DODD he would cost at lease $800.000 , so they say they want HUNT $650.000 ,ATKIN $500.000 , smith from easts $800.000 , on top of Mitchell and witgton and Walker , again how the hell can these clubs stay under the cap ,

Well he better open an account with concord KFC then.

Don't mind the Douhi signing, only for a year and won't be on a heap of dollars, just hoping his attitude can rub off on the younger guys.

I agree with Douehi on the cheap isn't a bad signing but I really hope his me first attitude does not rub off on the younger players.

He's probably will join Steffano and Galvin in that club.

Dodd would cost at least $800k??? That will do me, why would he be anywhere near that? 22 years old & unproven in the NRL & you think they would pay that?

I think he's a bit less "me first" than the likes of Galvin personally.

 

[balmain boy]

Why would he go to the UK ? What's the attraction there - the weather's crap, Europe will be in flames and there's too many English there.

Not playing in front of 100 people at suburban parks...
Being a rockstar rather than a nobody. These things hit at their ego, especially if they're still getting paid the same as they would be if they stayed.
Sullivan, Naden and co should speak to Bevan French, a fringe player here but a star over there. Why hasn't he come back yet? Because he's having too much fun over there....

He always came across as a fierce no nonsense competitor to me, unless he's said or done something I'm not aware of

He has been on pain killing injections the last few weeks.

Definitely plying injured.

But still playing through.

He needs a spell.

Silly being our there is he’s a passenger
