Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kelce68]

According to the 'experts' on here players that were done and weren't good enough to play for us over recent years include:
Latrell
Walker
Frizell
Gagai
Tupou
Su'a
Saab
Suli
Talakai
RCG
Brown
Faitala Mariner
Mulitalo
Holmes
Hammer
Horsbrough

And the list goes on.... Can't be bothered adding more.

It still doesn't mean we should just sign anyone who's available, but if they fit the profile, fitness and skillset that we need and are available we should make a move for them

No doubt.

Does that make him Technically ‘off contract come Nov 1”?

He has a get out clause for 2026 and 2027 as well I think, so yes he can talk or sign after Nov 1 same as Stef did

mate I’m really sorry I’ve come back from a six week euro sabbatical and have come into a new job where I’m still getting my feet under the desk. we’re coming back soon I promise!

How do I listen to your pod casts mate I’m 60 and not real tech savvy

He wants to go to the Roosters, watch this space, Townsend for a year, then Moses

Not sure uncle Nick would entertain it. He had a handshake agreement with the Roosters whilst he was here and backed out. Thats when Politis and Isaac Moses had a falling out. If he leaves Parra I reckon Manly would be all over him

lol penrith are such little bitches when a player signs elsewhere

I dont blame them to be honest.
Id give our departing players this weekend to score a win and then shift their arses to reggies for the remainder of the year.

Were those quotes from the Stefano playbook ?

Nick says these things, but if it helps his cause he will deal with Moses, just like he did when he signed Teddy and had a no go on Moses then too

Teddy never backflipped on him

Great news and even better he wants to play for WTs.

Come on guys it's a signing thread not past coaches etc..

Create a new tread and go for your lives

Exactly, so who is our new coach to replace Robbie ? Is he signed yet ??
Come on sleuths, what’s the gossip out there ?

I have a feeling it will be announced in the off season as the coach may be still assisting at a club that may be in the finals this year.

Here’s a rumour for you Nicho Hynes is being shopped by the Sharkies.

Looks like North Queensland will be his next home.

It will be interesting to see if that opens up some NQ players.

Maybe the Sharks might be then looking at Bud ?

Yeah… won’t be happening

I doubt the Sharks would be shopping him. I think it is more to do with Hynes not handling the pressure that comes with being a 7 in Sydney. He wants to get out of the media.

Best thing for him and the Sharks would be to realise now that he is a 6, not a 7. No way a team with Hynes at 7 is winning the comp, but I can see a team with him at 6 playing 2nd fiddle winning it.

They came out and said this was untrue.

Clubs say a lot of things though.

I look forward to Buzz criticising the Sharks 🤣

His failure at origin seems to have killed him unfortunately. He was flying until he got picked last year .
The rise from a KOE/ QRL cup also ran to star is IMO only really close to Walker and King ( along time ago now ) on a meteoric level . I assume that would have done wonders for his self assurance and confidence , only for origin to put a massive pin in his balloon .
Especially after that teams realised you can rattle him .
He seems likes good kid too. One of those guys you hope succeeds .I think NQ would be good for him .
He’s definitely an Origin level talent . I just don’t think he’s up to the pressure cooker level it is .
I doubt most footy players are . Maybe one day when he’s more assured in himself as a footy player .

Bulldogs being a team full of stars? come on mate. They're just simply turning up for each other & the playing group have bought into what Ciraldo is trying to accomplish.

A few of them will be in the origin team next year. Guys like jake preston will be in the squad. Blake Wilson will make QLD squad. They've got quality all over the park. Bit different to us, so many weaknesses all over the team, and we don't have any replacements for the guys we're getting rid of...
