Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I hope that even with signing two middles we still sign a backrower.

You're crazy.

First Chad, now you...everyone taking funny pills today.

I think he might have outdone you today @The Chad

Never underestimate the power of comic relief.

Different players.. Corey is a 109kg middle..Kobe a 95kg backrower....which we already have plenty of
..and Corey Oates will never start on the wing again anywhere after Warbrick smashed him tonite

We already have plenty of backrowers?

 

[finnzo]

I think if we sign Jack bird he will be John Batemans replacement. Every time we had an injury John would cover for it.

I’m still hopeful he returns with a better attitude but I highly doubt it now

Hasn’t Richo , done what he said no one from our club would do , say who we were looking at . NOT that I don’t like it , just really hope we get the players he has mentioned, BUT we thought this year would have been a good one , so as much as I am excited with what may come are why , I will get excited if we can win 5-6 of our -
1st 10 games

How many toes does Richo have left ?

Not enough to count Benji's 13. 🤣

I’ll be watching Kobe intently this evening.

Very average, seemed like he had already checked out...

He had plenty of Broncos mates too.
Gone after 6 minutes.

Still waiting on an update on how Pole and Galvin's re-signing are going. Media reported we were trying to sort it all over the bye week but havnt heard anything yet from the club. These two have to be a priority as well as S.Fainu, no point signing new players if the guys we need to keep in our current squad take off.

 

[hank37w]

Can't see Galvin doing anything until he sees how things go next season.

More concerned about us getting something done with Pole and Sione Fainu.

 

[Strider]

Hope Bird has a lucky run with health. Poor guy has copped it.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

I wonder where all this leaves Sione Fainu. He’s been good this year with a lot of up side and could be key to keeping the other 2 brothers. I hope he stays.

We can’t have many top 30 spots left especially if Bird and Horsburgh sign.

We actually can't fit in Bird and Horsburgh as is. We only have one spot atm.

A few have guessed moving Bateman on permanently is the only way we go for Bird so I would guess that is the way we free up the second spot.

From there I'm assuming Benji will do the same as he did with Seyfrath last year to Sione. Strike up a deal and wait until they clear up some space in the top 30 before they make it official and announce it.

Very average, seemed like he had already checked out...

Off the bench he made 110 meters and 29 tackles for a team getting flogged by the best team in the Comp- one of the few broncos who didn't check out imo

 

[Spartan117]

Its real weird as Richo always states the member will know 1st and now he is making comment to media about potential signings. He must be confident

Richo is Smart, controlling the narrative in the media, Nothing new here.

This is not a formal announcement

Isn’t samuale signed for 4 years just like his younger brother ???

 

[magpies forever]

Presume things will be clearer after at the final whistle after game. Don't the club announce those leaving then? Certainly sounds like we are paying out a few more than just expiring contracts.

 

[Vicious]

I can’t believe people are saying Kobe was average last night ?
I watched him bring energy and intent with every ball carry and every tackle and further confirmed he would be a great addition should we be able to sign him.
If we can somehow add Kobe Hetherington, Corey Horsburgh, Jack Bird and Reimis Smith I think we would have a roster good enough to be genuine top 8 contenders.
Reimis Smith is no superstar, but he would add much needed height and size to our backline.
If we can’t get Kobe Hetherington then Jack Williams would be ideal as I don’t think he’s staying with the Sharks beyond this season.

Talking about Sione I imagine, not Samuela.

His carries were fine and he didn't do anything particularly poor, but his energy in defence was lack luster, usually 3rd man in and ineffective. He was slow getting up off the line (if at all).
He would also run a decoy or support line and then just turn his back to play, I saw 2 occasions where Carrigan took a carry and Kobe was the support player, Carrigan promoted the offload and Kobe was already jogging away from him.
Can't judge him on one game, especially since he's already got one foot out the door, but he was bad last night.
