Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Gus looks like one of those blokes who like em young

He is almost as bad as Alan Jones.

 

[crazycat]

So who are we losing him to ?

Teddy
Moses
Large
Galvin
TDS

Is it another one bites the dust?

Another one gone another one gone another one bites the dust

Well lets be honest on that list.

Teddy -> we kept him by punting Ryan P. ... Easts then stole him.
Moses -> we tried everything to keep him when he was over our club (and he was).
Large -> we punted him to try and keep Galvin, who already showed signs of walking.
Galvin -> dinnit want to be here like Moses.
TDS -> If it walks out let it go.

If we played our cards right, We could have had Ryan P for the last 8ish years and Large right now!

I am disappointed in Pole's effort of late.
No running onto the ball. Standing flat footed and does a side step straight away to slow his momentum even further, then runs hard with players hanging off him. No impact.
Is it just me being too critical?
Benji, get him running onto the ball, then we have impact, and hopefully quick PTB's?
Beginning to think Benji needs better back up advice on what's not working and identify the weaknesses of the opposition sides. They seem to know our weaknesses, but then again, everyone does.

Motivation crash.

Heck we went from "top 8" to making the "top 14!"

We didn't try everything with Moses.
Ivan prioritised others and then let him go.

large wasn’t a loss , won’t play nrl

large wasn’t a loss , won’t play nrl

What’s wrong with him, he is lightning fast, good balance and skill, but never seems to get on the field.
Is he injury prone, or just not quite tough enough ?
He looked to be a brilliant ball runner, but like a deer in headlights when trying to be a playmaker, no idea why he sees himself as a 5/8 and not a fullback ?
Has he decided on Rugby Union, or is he a chance of coming back to us ?

Injuries are the only thing stopping him playing regular NRL in the next 2-3 years. I think his brother will too shortly after.

You can’t coach the amount of speed he has.

injury prone , not sure why he’s adamant on 5/8 either i agree with you. Tbh i think his brother Ashton is the better prospect but seems like Ointoni is all but gone to rugby and I’d assume his brother will continue to follow him

Manly have enough speed already

But they did leave ?

Stop playing for the club?

 

[clontarfkid]

I assumed it would have been AD. Doesn’t say a lot about his future.

Think it says everything about his future tbh
Plus signing up with I Moses..kiss of death for WTs..and several others

Nothing much has changed, we still don’t like players that are too fast.

 

[Flippedy]

Just shows how bad of a signing Hunt has been to not make this starting 17 . Smh

Hunt has become such a disappointment after a promising start to the season. I honestly didn’t expect this, he was a gun off the bench at Cronulla and he looked fit and seemed to be enjoying himself with us at the start of the year. What happened?

 

[weststigerman]

Thats possible. I thought you were suggesting he won’t make it.

We should bring them back, we have none.

To be fair everyone knew what he was. An impact prop you bring on when you have momentum. Not stringing benji up but his use of him had been poor. He destroyed nsw cup.last week like knocked dudes clean out running at them. Again short minutes but that's what he has always done.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Makasini is the next Reg Gasnier. And Haywood is the next Cameron Smith. That's why we will rule the NRL for years to come.

Our biggest problem I believe is the support and resources Benji has in his stable. Employing his mates as assistants is simply not good enough. We need experienced assistant coaches.

Benji can clearly get the boys motivated, is charasmatic and has some pull in the player market.

This is the one area of the Galvin saga that I could see from Galvin's point. The coaching staff is sub par, and as a young up and coming player, you want to be coached by the best with good resources.

It goes to the biggest issue we have got and always have had, no matter the structure or how many, we have got useless deadbeat owners who put bugger all money into the joint, were the poverty team of the comp. Until we start getting reliable injection of money into the place we won't be able to compete, Hbg need to start to either throw money into the joint to help it build up. Or privatise, but not just to anyone, has to be someone who understands success creates more value in their investment, they will inject the needed funds into the joint. Until then we're just a Hbg tax write-off. We have a boardroom now that knows how to use the funds, but no funds to use.
