Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigahhh]

- they try to sign a lot of players and miss out…what should they do instead ? Not try?

We won 9 games last year to their 8

if they are trying and missing out so often there’s underlying problems there. i’m not just talking current results, but future upside in rosters.

Rejected by the Parramatta Eels before arriving at the Wests Tigers, Pheonix Godinet has taken the rugby league world by storm over the past 24 months and is coming off a sensational year that saw him make his NSW Cup debut and be named in the 2025 Australian Schoolboys side.

A hard-working back-rower, Godinet has been earmarked to make his NRL debut next season and is extremely aggressive on both ends of the field with a superb fend in attack and great shoulder in defence.

Thanks for the info I don't follow the lower grades. I wanna know more about Pheonix Godinet if KPP doesn't work out is he the answer?

Liam Henry off the board, reportedly signed and sealed for Perth 2027

Would have been a great signing for us … although I’m sure they would have paid big money that we couldn’t have matched

 

[Wezt]

That’s a good signing for the Bears

yes. Godinet is a player you build an edge around. within a couple years he'll be banging down the door, to the point where Sammy could well move back to the middle to accommodate him.

i like this kid but surely won't be ready to debut next season?

there's a lot of depth in the backrow so he won't be blooded early, but he is every chance of pushing thru and earning it.

does Sukkar move to front row?

does Sukkar move to front row?

wouldn't think so. he's under considerable pressure to be renewed.

do you think we will recruit another front rower mate of current 1st grade standard?

I do mate, just don't know who. will be interesting to see what transpires between now and Christmas.

The crazy thing about our fans is we think we are going to sign gun after gun. We need to strengthen the NSW cup and picking up former first graders that have injury issues or were fringe first graders is good practice as long as it doesn't block a junior's pathway. We do not want to be losing horribly in NSW Cup every week, playing only juniors. They need role models etc.

I don't know a lot about herbert but if he brings energy, work ethic and a willingness to sacrifice for another potential shot im for it. Bunty is the same probs doesn't play 1s alot but is a handy fringe player that can provide a bit for us and strengthen NSW cup.

Well....when youve had 3 cpnsecutive spoons and a 13th,Im not particularly perturbed by KOE cup reinforcements
.I need genuine NRL players to put our NRL team in a better position..the rest is irrelevant

Has all the attributes doesnt have the ticker

Coming through maybe it was to easy for him his dad behind him lots of size and skill easy to stand out then hits first grade and it gets harder

I Think your right with the ticker but I heard an interview he did about leaving Manly and he sounded very hungry for future success so I hope he kicks on which I think he will do

 

[Lestronge]

yes. Godinet is a player you build an edge around. within a couple years he'll be banging down the door, to the point where Sammy could well move back to the middle to accommodate him.

He’s also more prototypical of the new type of edge forward isn’t he JR . Like a Hudson young type ? I think if the bulldogs win the premiership with a smaller pack or even the raiders , there will be a shift in what qualifies as prototype! Right now you’d say it’s Kikau , maybe Fifita in form , but yea I cna see a shift.

 

[Lestronge]

That’s a good signing for the Bears

It’s also a big enough signing whereas being the “bears first ever signing” won’t be a noose around his neck . Apparently the kid who was announced as the Dolphins first really struggled with that tag. Someone said recently on a podcast , which makes sense to me .

the nrl team play better when there is pressure coming from the cup team to push them out.

I wish it was Victor Radley and roosters gave another gift they owe us for Teddy, as good as May is, he doesn't influence games as much as Teddy

I really hope DCE stinks it up at the rorters it might just be one year too many for the long necked prick

It was a bold decision to let Sandon Smith go to the Knights. He slotted into his role with the minimum of fuss and will be a good buy for the Knights. The Knight's cap must be tight.
