Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[derekderekson]

Just signed another junior. Ashton Whyte. Redcliffe Dolphins junior.

Unsure what position

#13

Courier Mail article -Walters Cup schoolboy Team of the Season​

UNSUNG HERO AWARD​

Ashton Whyte (Redcliffe SHS)​

Whyte made the Sunshine Coast representative side but was injured at the state titles which robbed him of some matches.

But when he played for Redcliffe, it was time to make up for lost time. He was able to cover lock and hooker where he was as tough as an old boot.

Whtye had a high ethic.

Good pick up for WTs.

They will upgrade the facility, just like Leichhardt is being upgraded now, and then Campbelltown after that.

Direct your question to Brookswest not me. He / she brought this up.

Chill man. Saw your post saying they "have to play at Lidcombe" and just wanted to know why, you said it.
Your answer doesnt tell me why they have to. Either one of Campbelltown or Leichhardt will be available at any given time. They could also work with the NRL to get them playing before the NRL team as much as possible, and they could also try and tie in with Wests Harbour and play out of the Centre of Excellence. I dont see how the have to play out of Lidcombe other than some old fossils hanging on to past glory.

What's your point?

He sounds like he possesses the qualities we need at WTs, especially his never defeated attitude and toughness. Congratulations to him and his family. Let's hope it is the first of many junior QLD signings for WTs.

Great to see the club stockpiling good talent to go along side the juniors we have

 

[cktiger]

I replied that they don't.

Selective memory… or memory loss?

Does anyone know what this guys problem is with everyone?

 

[orange&black]

A few of us recently tossing around Schiller as an option for outside back depth - seems like recruitment had the same idea!
Interesting to see $ and term for him if the scuttlebut is true.

I don't think it is personal and I wouldn't let it impact how you feel about him or yourself. You are a good poster on the forum. I certainly enjoy reading your posts and respect your knowledge. I hope this provides some clarity.

Mate I appreciate those kind words and right back at ya. Im not personally bothered by him all that much. Ive just noticed recently he is overreacting to a number of posters on the forum. We all have a moments, but his seems widespread at the moment.

Thanks mate . Very much proved my point. Roosters way ? Find the best outside back under 25 and offer him market value plus an apartment in Bondi . Shit club…. Just won the geographic lottery .

I’d rather eat dirt than live in Bondi, but that’s just me. Bondi isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but everyone makes out that’s it’s the best place on earth. It’s far from it, imo.

So we have signed this youngster from Queensland and another young player from the Warriors system yesterday, yet we have some supporters who claim we don’t have any resources to recruit outside of Sydney,
Just about every aspiring rugby league player who has been selected in any rep team from the age of 13-15 up now has a manager.
EVERY NRL recruitment team constantly contacts these managers, often with a bulk email to every rugby league management company in existence advising of what positions and player characteristics they are looking for.
This being the case, the changing world means a lot less reliance on multiple scouts to be travelling far and wide checking out these players in live games and much more focus on communication and building strong relationships with player managers to obtain the required video footage of multiple players, particularly the ones in the positions and with the characteristics the club is looking for.

It would be interesting to learn how many of their players own a home or rent in the east. The median house price for example in a couple of suburbs in the east is steep.

Fancy way of justifying our lack of scouts

Wouldn’t really matter when they retire and sell to live wherever they want, Flip.
That apartment in Bondi would be worth a lot of mouthfuls of dirt.

A common sense way of advising why ridiculous money spent on scouts travelling all over the place is no longer required in the modern world.

Daily Telegraph NRL Nov. 1 preview: Every team’s top targets as transfer window opens

WESTS TIGERS​

Players: Ethan Roberts, Fonua Pole, Jock Madden, Junior Tupou, Latu Fainu, Patrick Herbert, Royce Hunt, Samuela Fainu

Analysis: The Tigers would love to get Samuela Fainu tied to a new deal before November 1, but at this stage that looks unlikely, meaning he will be open to offers from rivals. The Tigers will likely try to keep his brother Latu as well, while Fonua Pole has been a strong contributor. Those three aside, the Tigers are in a reasonable position.

Danger rating: B

How do you know he wasn’t scouted?
