Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

His manager only came out less than a week ago saying they had been given permission to look elsewhere because he wants to be a starting player. He won’t start for Brisbane for next season so I’d say he’s as good as gone

I think he's good as gone imo. Lock is his position and he won't be unseating Carrigan and looks as though the Donkeys want to bring in some more middle experience (i.e. Christian Welsh) so he may feel vulnerable.

It'll be whether he wants to buy in to the Tigers like Hunt & Bird.

Kobe is definitely good enough to be a starting 13 and I don’t think he would have an issue signing with us if the money is right, but the Broncos have no depth whatsoever in the back row, they would be crazy to let him go.
To me Carrigan is getting very close to a permanent move to prop which would essentially free up the lock spot for Kobe.
Williams although a couple of years older, is just as good as Kobe and is currently off contract. I have a feeling he’s not entirely happy coming off the bench and will be very open to being a starting 13.

Haha, why?

Personally, I think it's better to jump on the best players, whether they're 'available' or not.

I don't care whether they're free agents now, off contract for next year or being shopped on the DL.

Also, Kobe has been given explicit permission to explore his options by the Broncos, so that makes him 'definitely able to sign'.

Don’t underestimate what the pressure of keeping your position can do to improve players performance.
If someone like Doueihi knows he will be playing reserve grade if his defence is not rock solid, I reckon it will quickly improve.
 
Kobe Hetherington or Jack Williams are both too quality, too good to be coming off the bench and would instantly make us a much better team with either one of them as our starting lock.
Marcelo Montoya would add size, height, speed, good yardage and an aerial threat. He too would be a super signing to add quality and competition for positions in our outside backs.
Then we would ideally need one more quality prop with size and presence such as Daniel Saifiti or Regan Campbell-Gillard.
I think RCG is getting too old for his body shape and is in danger of his form falling off a cliff anytime soon, which would leave Saifiti as an obviously selection.
