Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Spacecub]

Having said that he would be perfect for a season…id say he's a bit to do with ivan at penrith

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Bloody hell, Teddy, chasing Hayne and Chambers to land one of them, and now Lewis, surprised no, peed off you bet

Yeah i heard it somewhere the other day….i think they had actually signed him for 1 season

You have got to be kidding me! So they can do all this without shedding anyone?? All I want is a level playing field for every club. I really hate this game now.

Im not sure spud if they definitely have him…just heard something on one of the radio sports shows....there's nothing on the roosters site or their forum....so could be a toss up like 99% of what we are hearing

Yeah hopefully just speculation, but the fact that they're always in the running for the best players, no matter how many stars they already have, is enough to give me the poops, Spacecub :laughing:

It's really disheartening reading about their acquisitions when we're struggling to build a team of our own and Tedesco going to them, of _all_ clubs, is just the last straw for me.

Why couldn't we sign Dugan to play centre? Much better than Fonua…

Because we sign crap…nothing will change here

Just so you are aware, Dugan has been at the Dragons for 5 seasons. He's played 75 games. That equates to almost two full season's on the sideline.

 

[tiga4eva]

My mate at Dragons has assured me we have signed Taane Milne.

I highly doubt we have signed Taane Milne because we would have announced it by now. and who's your dragons friend????

My mate works at the Dragons. He told me they've lost Dugan and Milne. 11 posts mate, wait a bit til you get a bit more experienced on here before you start getting judgy.

 

[teddy23]

At first I was interested in Milne, but having watched him closely the past few weeks I've come to terms that there's a lot better options.

Gray, hoppa, chambers, Gagai, Fergo

I'd take Gray as he'd imo be best value player and most realistic, I've got a diehard Rabbits mate that is adamant he should be playing in the back row.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

Milne is a good young player with impact and can position his winger. We need a centre to compliment Suli and if we can acquire Dylan Edwards and Alex Johnston there is pace on the outside.

Out of the off contract players I would only sign McIlwrick

We still need depth signings. As long as they're happy to be on low/reduced contracts knowing they're not 'automatic' NRL selections each week.

Unfortunately thats the mentality that got this club to where we are now….we'll have anyone as long as their cheap

Buy a cheap second hand car and you only get someone else's problem.

I hope you are right mate, Milne will be a rep level centre in the very near future.
As an aside, I am watching Hoppa pull off 2 try saving tackles that would make any fullback proud

 

[teddy23]

God for anyone watching the game….... Latrell Mitchell is an actual beast, like he's a star.

Cant see Roosters letting him go now, oh and btw Eastwood is rubbish

[Spacecub]

Can i make a empasioned plea to our club….please do not sign anyone else from this current bulldogs team

 

[Spacecub]

I am going to watch Hiku closely today, as I have seen nothing from him to warrant getting him to the club

How did he go 851….couldnt see the game

 

[851]

Especially Eastwood and Lichha

Not great, but he never got any real quality ball on the wing

 

[ricksen]

We won't sign Lichaa

Ok thanks mate

 

[Spacecub]

How slow do the dogs forwards look….woods will have no problems adjusting to his new club

 

[smoking_gun]

After watching this first half and how Hopoate has played I'm even more convinced the tigers need to go hard to get him. He's been great defensively

 

[avocadoontoast]

Agree. Don't understand the hate some people have for him on the forum. Do you know whether we're talking to him?

Mate you would put Lichaa in front of McIllwick??? He's bog average at best and that has to be the most pathetic bench I have ever seen! Where is the impact?
