Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The best revenge for Richo will be turning our biggest rivals into premierships winners. If he takes over eels, it will be just a matter of time.

Not sure our owners would see it as revenge, doubt they really care all that much about the club.

The people who would suffer the most would, yet again, be the fans.

The PNG supporters will not be impressed if he attempts to get out of his Chief's contract😁

Well, aside from Saints, he changes clubs / sports every 12 months.

Lomax, Luai, Watson and Johnston. They said they have 5 so who’s the other one?

It’s some lame English bloke I’ve never heard of. Pathetic.

The only thing they seem to worry about is having Western Suburbs Magpies playing out of Lidcombe Oval.

Yes there is that view but he could see this as an opportunity to complete unfinished business & be a kind of FU to HBG at the same time.

Send us your email address mate, I have a beautiful bridge I’m trying to offload.

And ensuring the pokies at Wests are functional

If we lose Twal and Samuela Fainu that might be my breaking point as a WTs supporter

 

[Dr_Ice]

So who do we have that can kick field goals? Doueihi was only one at club I think

Are field goal kickers our issue at the moment? He would need to kick a hell of a lot of field goals to make us competitive at the moment.

From this vantage point , why is PNG over paying their players way overs.
Luia same as WT's paying - yes tax free , but the gossip sounds like Lomax at 1 mill , that's daft
Certain positions are critical , but ?

They could offer half the salary and still be competitive so idk why they are paying the value in the Aussie player market, so dumb

Still have to fluff out the squad with nobodies , is where actually the large % should be given , because their less likely to get a TPA , Whole set up i stinks ,

twist in the tale ill take this as an absolute rumour
but here we go ill try not be my usual anti benji self

- Adam has been told the club sees his future at 13 for the remainder of his contract
- benji told him averillo and andrews will be given priority at 6 , with latu guaranteed the 7 jersey for next year
- was told it was guaranteed that he would start
- was told the conversation went south quickly , benji supposedly said he could play 7 this week, Ad threw his toys out of cot and said if im not the 7 for next year i wont be this week either


he is on 700k next year

Luai was the litmus test. The canary in the coal mine. If he had come here. lead us to finals, and stayed the 5 years, it would have been a watershed moment for this club. Instead, he comes here, plays like a busted arse, quits not even halfway through and ha seen the club stumble from drama to drama. What incentive do players like a Cleary have to ever come here? Doesn’t matter how much money we throw at them, it’s just not worth it. The only way forward is to focus on the juniors, keep the best ones, and start making the 8 regularly. That’s the only way the great players will ever consider us again.

I thought Luai played his heart out. Over paid and over rated- YES! But surrounded by mostly slow, mediocre players. He is not a one-man team. And a beaten pack.
Our forward pack lead by May is powder puff stuff at the moment. Stefo on fire.
Coaching Benji style or Bellamy style? And we let Cooper go, both who are better than May.
Our forward pack is out muscled by all the other packs. Light duties after 15 min.
No speed out the back either---centres, wingers and a fullback that can't get passed anyone.
Frustrating is being ever so polite.

Yea it will be a squad of haves on like up to 2m a year on the tpas and blokes on 150k it would suck for the low paid players

 

[Ermo]

Richo to eels is my tip , mid season revue , another crap season , struggle to sign players ,

Pretty sure Dragons were mentioned a couple of weeks ago

I'm sure we could get a top 13 for $700k
