Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[GNR4LIFE]

The other part is get him now weather a swap of just buy him straight out. Playing centre for the Titans this round, not what he wants.

I would trade for Skelton.

Brimson for Skelton? Do you think the Titans are as gullible as Homer trading Bart his doughnut for a door stopper?

 

[Roar_Power]

AJ Brimson anyone...?

I've heard the WT, via a 3rd party, are making enquiries regarding AJ Brimson...

I reckon he'd be a great replacement for Bula if this eventuates...

Can we get him some new hamstrings?

 

[Dr_Ice]

Absolutely. He is the style of fullback we need. High energy, high workrate, reliable and x factor.

Not sure about reliable. For me, he is right up there as one of the players in the whole comp who has never lived up to his potential. Part of that is injuries and being moved around a bit, but that just proves more about no being reliable.

 

[JB9918]

Where is it said he is playing centre?

I agree somewhat though Id say part of that is being in a usually poor team

What do people think about making a play for Reece Walsh now that Brisbane is falling apart?

Just figured whilst everyone was talking out their ass it was a good one to bring up..

Or Kayo Weekes?

Are you for real ?
At least be somewhat realistic.

I like it a lot T, but it really does smell like fantasy stuff, could be possible if he's pissed at being moved around to different positions.

Rumblings started in the past when he didn't like being moved from fullback, his preferred position.

Walsh and Weekes are contracted to 2029.
AJ Brimson is contracted till 2030.

According to you we are a destination club. So Walsh and Weekes should be frothing at the mouth to come here on unders to play under Benji, and more importantly, under our supreme leaders at HBG.

My suggestion is as realistic as most on here.... aka pure fantasy..

 

[Vicious]

Do you want him until end of 2030? He turns 28 in September….

We need a stop gap solution at fullback for 2 years i reckon if old mate moves on

Who we getting in 2 years time ?
We keep assuming Attard will be an elite fullback in a couple of years time and I hope he is, but so far he has only shown that he is quick, not much else.
I realise Benji and the coaching staff see these players almost every day and should know what they are doing, but I think Attard will be better suited to wing or centre and I think Logan Brookes is the better fullback prospect.
AJ Brimson would only be 31y.o turning 32y.o in 2030. His best position is fullback and at his best his attacking game is far superior to Jahream’s at the moment.
Not my number one choice, but he would improve us with his speed off the mark and attacking x-factor.
For the record I cannot see the Titans letting him go.

There are some players who are simply not changing clubs and these two players are 2 of them.

The third party deals Walsh would have in Brisbane would be off the charts

Ok mr know it all, you know this how?

I bet you would of said the same thing about Payne Haas 2 months ago.

And you are forgetting, you told us we are a destination club!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Yeah I’d take him for a couple of years ,…always plays well against us… a guy I respect 👍

Edit - scratch that ..he is contracted at the Titans until end of 2030 at $850k a year !

Titans don't know where to play him, they also have cap issues...he could do a "moses" and kick stones to get out of the Titans, especially if he knows WT are looking for a long term fullback....

We are a destination club as of right now, that can change quickly if our results are not good.

They aren’t though … they are looking at someone for 2 years if Bula leaves

Atwood would be the plan…

I don’t want Brimson until the end of 2030 getting paid $850k a year and neither would you in reality…

It’s not going to happen anyway … so I’ll move on

Well that’s correct, the Titans are in no position to release him even if he was keen to move elsewhere.
In regards to Attard, what makes you think he will be an elite fullback in 2 years time ?
He’s an exciting young player with plenty of pace, but has not done anything special in NSW Cup just yet.

 

[weststigers]

Lots of talk about straight swaps each season.

Has that ever really happened? If it has it would be very rare.

Great chat if clubs are allowed to trade your contract, but that is not the case in the NRL.

The player must agree and most, if not all, of the time, they don't.

You really entertain me.
So we were a destination club after round 2? But in december we were not...
Destination clubs dont change with the weather

 

[supercoach]

If Bula walks and looking at the tea leaves that looks a real possibility, and we release him at the end of this season and don’t take up our option, we must get something worthwhile out of the deal and not a stack of cash.

We must get a player or a couple of standout juniors. For to long we have rolled over and basically got nothing out of letting a player walk. The Dogs gave us some cash for Galvin, but that doesn’t help our roster. We have to start playing hardball
