Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Warriors are just producing Leka Halasima’s

Scary if Penrith get their hands on him

Bishop Neal also coming through, their pathways set up is incredible

 

[Tom Shines]

If we're releasing him, why would we agree to contribute to his contract? Seems to me we would want his contract value for the player to replace him.

They just did this for JL right ? It’s not like they are opposed to the idea of it ? Maybe they think they have a better player they can get around the same leftover money?

If someone wants to pay the full freight for him than great…but I’m a little dubious

 

[Tom Shines]

St George are going to have a problem in a few years holding onto all of their young forwards, especially keon on $1mill plus... hope we can jag one or two of them.. I suspect the coachman bros wont split up... so maybe we need to eye a Hamish stewart

I assume Blore isn’t going to St George …

 

[Bellend]

Ray stone going to Penrith

shame

yes sir they said no

 

[Flippedy]

The fact the Panthers are interested in Seyfarth should tell you there is some value in him. Maybe he’s just a victim of our system. One of those players who could go to another level in a new environment. He’s shown glimpses over the years. Just has no consistency.

Yep much like Garner

 

[Flippedy]

It’s an odd decision for mine to take him on - a guy who is not playing consistently, and who can always get into the ear of other players about the money on offer ..even if he is not deliberately trying to recruit…. I think Parra might regret this move ….tells me Ryles is already feeling the pressure…lot of downside with limited upside

I think they are thinking the Moses/Luai halves partnership will bring them success next season and in all honesty, I think it probably will. Luai paired with a real halfback that can control the game à la Cleary and he will probably play much better.

Plus, despite their low position on the ladder, Parra have mostly been competitive in games this season. Injuries have played a big part in their losses, not disinterest or lack of competitiveness like us. I’m sure they will finish above us next season, unless Luai causes internal distractions like he has with us. I can’t see that happening though, that’s just how our luck rolls.

I think our big issue is we need to get to the top 8 urgent , it’s been so long it’s now a joke , if we don’t have the players to get there now and our juniors are still a couple years away we need to go shopping 2 and 3 year deals , I say Bunty and Hunt left who in our juniors is ready for 2027 if none go shopping , I hope we are looking as we have plenty spots to fill and we can not fill them with kids or blokes who we bring back from driving a fork lift or selling cars we need nrl ready players

I think we all need to come to terms with the probability that it’s gonna be a long time before we reach the top 8 again. Not that the team won’t try and supporters don’t hope of course, but it could quite well be near 20 years running before we actually see it happening.

Mitch has been a match winner at times last few years .. getting a bit long in the tooth and seems to be chronically injured of late … tbey need him to have an injury free year next year… bottom 4 otherwise

MM does not play Origin

Bishop Neal also coming through, their pathways set up is incredible

Is he any relation to Father Mulcahy?

 

[innsaneink]

Doueihi on Luai and his early exit. It is good to be informed of the views of other players in the squad.

MSN

Thats if you believe what they say

 

[innsaneink]

Ray stone going to Penrith

So we are a chance

Then again, it could be next year if injuries are kind to us, some strategic signings and Andrews fills he important gap of Luai. Some decent forward strength please.
The eternal optimust!

will WT likely need to pay some of the freight to move Seyfarth on at that price ? He seems overpaid ….

Unless were replacing seyforth with a high quality 1st grader,Id keep him even at his inflated salary,and certainly not subsidising his next contract
...simply because we are desperately short of experienced forwards as it is
Desperately short of 1st grade everything tbh
Paid a lot of guys a truckload of $$,but our stocks seem to be dwindling and our future is entirely in the hands of our coaching staff to develop juniors
..which hasnt worked out so great recently

We have a whole team of players who lack consistent effort,and despite his shortfalls,Seyforth isnt in that category..Id be keeping him,and certainly not subsidising him to go elsewhere
Is it Benji making these exit calls funded by our already stretched cap overpaying mediocrity?
Were gonna end up with a worse roster than the Bears..which will only end up one way for Benji
..which is probably inevitable anyway,but hes gonna hasten his demise

The family that plays together stays together

with a whole lot of Tigers players it will be now called the Fiji Tigers.

We shouldn’t need that to tell us that. He’s not the problem. It’s about getting the mix right.

If they have a specific plan in mind and the replacement player who they think is better ( eg Blore) for the same/ cheaper cost and who wants to come here ,,i would say move Seyfarth on …if its a case of “well move him on to free up some money and see who we get “… then no … their squad looks skinny to me already for next year …
