Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Are they re-signing Sukkar haven’t heard anything about it

Would be stupid if they didn’t, raise a junior from the depths and get rid of him a few years away from his prime only for another club to reap the rewards

What did his mum say?

Latu is injury prone

Ivan absolutely screwed us with all that cap he wasted on busted players

Well more he screwed us when he left early. He may have made the roster work for him over time, but it's worse, not just busted players, when you recruit for a guy who leaves after 1.5 years. Nobody is on a 1.5 year contract. And he made key decisions about the Big 4 that affected us for years after.

Reynolds was taking the piss. We talk about players that you still find hard to believe played for us. You think of names like Anasta, Idris etc. Josh Reynolds is another. Was so out of place at our club.

All Bulldogs scum. We should learn our lesson and not sign Dogs players esp. aging ones.

He can hit a hole. That’s about it.

Good in defence as well.

The PNG effect - every player using them to drive up their value. Clubs will either have to stand firm or risk losing some of them targeted by PNG. The more PNG recruit the more their appeal to those who were unsure about whether they would be competitive. The money the icing on the cake.

They reckon things will hot up a bit in 3 weeks time when half the comps season is done ...some clubs will give a lot of players permission to look around

Preston and Martin asking less money than Samuela is interesting, problem is that neither of them would come to the Tigers. Then there’s Latu’s contract to consider as well.

We would be a horrible fit for Mam, and he'd be a terrible signing for us.

The media would be watching with bated breath waiting for him to balls up, or for our performances so they can pillory us for ruining yet another player.

Imagine Benji trying to keep Mam in check? No chance. Can't control current bunch.

Not sure how he has been diabolical?
I watch every Broncis game and he and Reece Walsh have been carrying that team, the forwards are not having a go.
Pat Carrigan has been playing not much better than how Terrell has been playing for us and Payne Haas has not been trying.
Not sure how we could fit Ezra Man in on his rumoured 900k per season contract, but he is much better than Luai that’s for certain.

Vic, you can't be serious comparing May with Haas and Carrigan even on their current form. May is a slug. The other two, whilst not in top form both have played origin and have go each week.

He can hit a hole. That’s about it.

Strong defensively, takes a tough carry and also can catch an attacking kick. And yes, also very good at hitting a hole.

Who would want that?

 

[Wezt]

Dunno he’s top 3…
Dunno he’s top 10 to be fair?

Wouldn’t be in my top 6.

He’s half decent,
He certainly is popular though,
The media hype is almost Jurbo like.

Each to their own but I’d have him 3rd just below Young and Olaka’utu

Best line runner, tackles at 95% efficiency, has a great offload and averages 11 metres per run. Not sure what else you would want in a backrower
