Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jrtiger]

I’m not being critical of the new signings because we need depth with NRL experience and defensively solid. I can’t see Geyer, Roberts, Madden making the 17. However when called upon won’t let you down. The way Tristan Hope came in and was solid in our wins over the Roosters and Titians.
Our next two signings IMO need to be middles. A level up from depth players, as week to week players in the 17.

with a big preseason, Roberts could rocket into contention. he has huge pedigree.

Is this where we see Isaac Moses starting to agitate for Phoenix Godinet to leave because "his pathway is blocked"?

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Since you won’t answer. My comment was in reference to a question whether he would be top 30. I deduced that since he won’t be getting a contract from his current club that he won’t have a lot of options, hence our club can more or less lowball him. So again, how is that negative?

Not sure that would be the correct deduction as there are no widely held facts to support that conclusion. We may have been quicker to offer a contract than Parramatta or the Dragons etc or he may prefer concord to Melbourne - we'll never know.

None of these guys were signed to be in our 17. Our previous issues have been related to quality depth and this is now being addressed.

I wouldn’t rule Roberts or Geyer out. The way Benji rewards standout performers in preseason. Sam Fainu and Galvin (amongst other examples) come to mind.
I’d say Sam Fainu and KPP will be favourites for the starting 2nd Row positions.

Yep agree thats important to fix. However the need for an improved 17 is paramount.

He better not. Pheonix will develop further next sesson in Flegg & Cup whilst his body continues to grow & develop. Then he’s top 30 in ‘27 basically replacing Geyer.

Don’t think Ian Roberts will have a biological son any time soon.

Can you confirm that he is shooting blanks?

Unbackable favourites I think mate. They're both paying $1.01 I'd say.

No but perhaps shooting at the wrong target.

I’m going to stop there before I get myself in trouble.

 

[Sully]

Can either of them put in a big physical tackle? That's what the side needs from forward signings.

Roberts is a big boy at 195cm and 105kg

Only 20 years old so plenty of time to develop

 

[Magpies1969]

Lock up AD, sign a prop and lock and hope both Hunt and Bird retire and 2026 is looking very good.

 

[innsaneink]

By who? Where did you read this or see this?

@Vicious has been asked about this several times now and has ignored it

 

[Spartan117]

He kicked the winning goal in golden point vs Sharks, kicked the winning field goal against Titans and was best on ground yesterday.

He's been our best player for the last 6 weeks and I think some are blinded by their hate.

He deserves to get the best deal he can. Just like Luai did.

Adam deserves a better deal than that on offer allegedly.

An established first grade that is in our top 17.

I'd say there is a nonzero chance Samuela becomes a middle in the Tino mold and takes the 13 jersey. But only if someone like Roberts jumps out of the ground and demands selection.

It’s a non zero chance …I’d say about 3 percent….

Roberts hasn’t played a first grade game yet …fingers crossed he turns into something..anything ….

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Any young player we sign should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[rusted-on]

it means we effed you. the finger indicates an appendage....he was doing it after one of the tries. The sign is a pass...just, but he didn't need to say anything after...it's like he had beef with some at the Bulldogs...anyway...glad they used whatever it was constructively for 80 mins.

No not quite. Who told you that?

Roosters prodigy to turn back on rival's advances

A keen neighbour is expected to miss out on the teenager's services.

Roberts had some raps on him a couple of years ago, looks like his trajectory faltered.
