Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Sammy Walker will only cost $800k next year with the roosters willing to chip in the rest

Can we still sack Douehi for refusing to play and sign Walker

This is a forum for everyone to post their opinions, it seems that if you don’t agree with their opinion you think it’s ok to start calling them names.
Grow up

Mate …. I’m taking the piss . I have been for 3 posts . Get over yourself . What names have you been called ? Wrong ? Fragile ? You mean adjectives ?

Rooster have requested that they want to play Wests Tigers on Anzac Day 2027.
As per article by zero tackle.

No...read it again

They wanna play us late season again like last two years, emergency services match

Tureva was a great finisher last season..exceeded expetation when confronted by difficult situations and still crossed the line
Not so great this year,but played a lot at FB and centre..and carrying injuries
Great clubman and character
Asset to the team

Definitely wld not write him off

He's never been a 'great' finisher. He is pretty good at getting low and keeping his balance to get over the line when given a little bit of space close to the line. But that is his only move. Great finishers have other options eg. Speed to burn someone on the outside, power to run through defenders, a kick target, acrobatics to leap out/over defence but still ground the ball inside the touch line. He's got none of that.
I don't really like assessing players simply on tries scored as it ignores the work done inside them. So I will not bag him for not crossing the line too much this year. But playing centre shouldn't be used as an excuse for not scoring tries. If he had some of those other attributes I'm sure he'd have scored more.
As for great clubman and character. Maybe, hard to assess from the outside. He does seem to be a bit of an energy guy lifting spirits around the locker room. He also seems to lose his cool and want to fight everyone when things aren't going his way.
I definitely stick to the overpaid and overrated opinion but he is also by no means out of place in first grade. Probably on about 100k to much for what he offers but will rarely cost the team a game.

My bad, I should of read properly.

Geez if Schiller was only offered a T&T and given we only have 26/30 players contracted that we officially know of makes me think we could have another 3 or 4 of Sukkar, Mason, Afoa, Aho, Taupau-Moors, Godinet & Murray on top 30 deals but have not been officially announced.

Surely Schiller would be a better top 30 than Mason?

looks like Manly are having a fire sale.

pending roster spots I feel Caleb Navale and Ethan Bullemor should both be of interest of us.

I don’t know if I am ready for more Ethan Bullemor talk.

Nope .. Haywood was the Australian schoolboys hooker , TDS wasnt , Heywood played in the winning schoolboys team in yr 12 and also made the team in year 11 that came second to Galvin led team , lost in dying moments .. Jared makes every team he plays in better in attack as he controls the ruck , delivers brilliant service and is as much a running threat as TDS every day of the week ..

Look forward to seeing that form in NRL against grown men

Heywood did nothing at all last night because he didn’t play

No one mentioned "last nite".Don't gaslite me or put words in my mouth to state your point
We got a glimpse of Heywood mid season..jury out..its still early days but sensible to have options..Manese cld be one of those options

 

[clontarfkid]

He does his best and tries hard with his yardage carries, but he simply doesn’t have the right physical attributes to be an elite player.
He is short, not a good vertical leaper, not overly confident in the air, not real quick off the mark, not quick over a long distance and very rarely makes a line break.
To make matters worse it looks like we are again content to just hand him an NRL jersey every week and not sign any genuine competition for his right wing spot.
Mark us down to once again be the most boring and predictable team and score the least points in the NRL in 2027.

He's the least of our issues..

No one has dismissed him or written him off
Just saying we need as many options as we can

 

[clontarfkid]

Good shout on Paseka although I would be shocked if Manly were wanting to release him they are already struggling with forward depth.

He's a weapon
Another one whose expectations we managed poorly
It's a long list

Champion @vlad, this is a great question.
Just maybe let them all have breakfast first before they put pen to paper ...............

Got a spare $mill?

 

[Wezt]

What a boring November 1 it has been

 

[happy_tiger]

Got a spare $mill?

Surely it doesn't cost that much to put a hit out on him

 

[mtd#2]

Got a spare $mill?

The club doesnt mind a payout

 

[innsaneink]

Maybe we can get a new media guy as well as a new WNRL recruiter....or at least introduce the current ones to each other theyve obviously never met
