Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If we sign Watson doesn’t that end the Manase experiment

Nope. Manase would be in lower grades for 12-18 months after his parole and is cleared to play. Watson would be gone by the time he's ready, if it ever happens. It's still all a long shot

A quote from Wayne Bennett "you can lose any player, - as long as you are upgrading"
How appropriate.
Seyfarth a top club man, but upgradeable.
Hunt, just not enough output, upgradeable
To'a, say no more.

I wasn’t questioning moving them on, just whether the news was factual or otherwise.

We don’t know here if it’s factual … typically the NRL clubs don’t confirm/ deny stories like this

Biggest problem is another club would have to be living under a rock not to notice his dicky arm/shoulder.

Re Toa

I could see PNG look for some center depth.
Maybe Perth, but PNG could throw a sweet deal. Although PNG may have way more experienced centers looking around.

I suspect Todd Payten is going to have problems keeping players.

 

[crazycat]

He'd be on maybe 50k. He and the players would train 2-3 times a week.

We went for the cheapest option we could find. That was the only prerequisite for HBG. They refuse to invest in the Magpies

Trying to make sense of this.
HBG the people who keep screaming for Wests Magpies won't invest in the Junior team that carry their name.

It’s not hard to make shite up that people will click on.

Not with Luai going he would have all the intel.

Funny, because the popular line being pushed here a few months ago was that they were only interested in investing in the magpies and not the Wests Tigers.

Now their being bagged for NOT investing in the magpies.

I honestly can't keep up with the tinfoilers

No, I think it means not investing in the reserve grade team, no matter what they're called.

Apparently Watson is more than likely not ending up with us. Would’ve been a quality buy

De Courcey just scored a very good try in the NSW Cup. 27 tries in 26 games at that level..

Based on his NRL game against us, the thing that may hold him back from regular NRL is not his attack

He is 20 and centre is a hard position in which to defend. He has time on his side.

Agreed, but he was so bad he was replaced at half time. Against Patrick Herbert, not Latrell Mitchell

Titans or Tigers? Just read on Zero Tackle Titans have a 2 yr deal on the table.
