Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Wezt]

Manly set to sign Zach Dockar-Clay for 2 years (DT).

I thought he'd be a good low-cost recruit for us as that experienced hooker/lock utility but Manly look to have got him as a replacement for Jazz Tevaga.

Rather sign Luke Sommerton from the panthers

Starting against the warriors on the weekend and is off-contract

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Prop. Need 2. Pole and Hunt to come off the bench. May could go to 13.

Thankyou Tito, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of us on here that feel this way.

 

[weststigerman]

Marky is one of the most elusive outside backs I’ve seen. I’d be all over him.

 

[weststigerman]

Came on here to see if any crazies are suggesting we sign broken down Turbo and you all disappointed me.

Days only young mate, maybe if someone has a beer after work there could be some takers lol.

No one said it would be easy if it was the whole competition would be a level playing field.
Terrell has shown a willingness to offload and Twal has played some lock and shocked me by throwing some decent passes of late.
As for the 7, Doueihi is not set in stone unless Latu is injured again, it could go to either of them.

This is where Benji has to prove to us that he can coach and train someone from in house to be a decent lock.

Plus, I have the feeling there's only enough cap left to go after one more good player, who do you think we need the most a prop or a lock, prop would be my choice.

A lock , we got a few pigs 🐷 to fill front row , but lock is a really NEED for us

No disrespect to Tristan Hope, but Luke Sommerton looks to be a much better player.

 

[Buttface]

If Terrell doesn't want to reduce his minutes and become more of an impact prop I would argue we need to buy an 8 and 10.

No reason we can't train up a competent 13 over the summer out of Terrell, Doueihi or Twal knowing that's a position we have to work on.

If we got an 8 & 10 then yeah sure, May can have a crack at 13. But your not getting any more out of the giant sloth then ya getting now. He’s over a 100 games into his career, and played a fair amount of them at 13, we have seen everything he has to offer. He’s a serviceable bench prop in a top four side.
Anyway Rock, I reckon it’s pretty obvious to most now, that we need a run on NRL 10 at the least, and either a 13 or another prop as we might find enough at home to cover 13 till we do get one.

Marky Mark would look horrid in our team, 10 weeks here and he’d look like a super league level player

Yeah mate blind Freddy can see there's not enough grunt in the pigs and that needs to be the priority.
You can't do much if the middles aren't creating space for the attack to work on.
Then get a lock if we can't manufacture one.

Ray Stone & Nelson Asofa-Solomona would complete our pack imo (with a NAS diclaimer)

Ray Stone is the high energy, high leg speed, effort-based lock we need to rotate with AD. Leads line speed & standards both in game & in training.

NAS, if it's more the 2023 version who is fully fit with a point to prove & committed to adjusting his tackle point of contact (lol) with us. Storm would have to subsidise his salary by $300k pa too.

 

[Concords home]

He's an out and out winger

Yes, played wing at Union for Wallabies & wing at school & club rugby.

Can our cap fit them both in B that's the question, unless you have access to the books it's hard to know remembering if Bud moves, we have 3 spots to fill.

Hell, our pack is so desperate for a rampaging middle you would consider signing a giant wild boar if the damn thing was smart enough to run straight and had the ability to catch a ball 😀.

Thanks. Good to have your support on such matters.

Might fit them both in depending on how much Storm could contribute to NAS. Even moreso if we release Bird to another club.

You don't strengthen your roster by letting one of your best players go. You continue to build around him with other good players and excellent juniors.

I understand the theory, I was just trying to validate whether this was some inside information or just fan speculation

Where does this ridiculous attitude come from?...do you ever just make a normal, well thought out comment? Or is it always some twitter style negative quip?

Asking for a friend.

Do I know you? For such a failure of a sporting side some would say I’m usually far too optimistic. His style of play would be exposed in a team like ours. #Fact not opinion

 

[Tim Sheens]

Yes, played wing at Union for Wallabies & wing at school & club rugby.

Yeah, though unlike NRL wingers, he wasn't expected to do hit-up upon hit-up, especially early ones into compressed defences. He will be a star if he can bring that into his game.
