Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@ said:
Anyone expecting more Signings outside of ET & Esienhuth re-signing & possibly Tim Grant taking up his option will be disappointed. Boyle wants to much $$$ & will only be a possibility if he drops his price which won't happen as Titans have now upped their offer.

Probably the most reliable post in the last 20 pages.

Scoops give us something to talk about. They don't always eventuate it, but I don't think the forum would be the same without them. So all the scoop posters keep them coming boys.

Exactly.

SG has said that he is obtaining information from third parties and then relaying that information back to the forum. No problem with that at all.

Just because something he says doesn't eventuate, doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time he reported it. Contract negotiations are protracted and ever-changing, you think you have a player in the bag and 5 minutes later their manager calls with a higher offer from another club … that's life.

His predictions have turned out correct on some occasions, and not correct on others. But i'd rather hear inside info from guys like SG than rely on 'The Lurker' for my weekly dose of gossip.

Totally disagree.

Name the last time sg said something that eventuated.

I would rather nothing if what their saying does not eventuate especially where it's the majority with Sg.

I can come on here and make vague predictions too with some contract figures if it is making people so happy.

I seem to remember Smoking Gun being on the money with the Lolohea and Packer signings. I think he mentioned that Taane Milne was coming, too. Was he the only one? Probably not but SG gave info early in the process and they all eventually signed.

I just hope he doesn't stop giving tidbits because of other posters egos.

Anyway that's jus my opinion.

From what I've followed he claimed the penrith centre was done deal and another person claimed never spoke to him.

Tui and packer the media was saying coming here anyway.

The yossman called Milne so I follow him.
 
A few more lower grade players like Alex Twal & Tyson Gamble types will be brought on board but not big/decent signings will happen unless a good opportunity presents its self with Salary Cap fall out. Connor Watson chose Knights purely on the base he wants to play 5/8 & they have guaranteed it.Jeremy Latimore was a big chance but that has since gone cold.

Pom, isn't there a stipulation that clubs have to spend 95% of the cap each year? Surely with the signings we have already added and these further lower grade signings you mention, we wouldn't be spending in that vicinity. If so, makes me think we have been spending too much on these new players…

90% needs to be used, not saying we completely done but nothing will really happen until cap is announced & other clubs need to cut players. Taking the wait & see approach. But there's nothing happening in the near future bar ET & Esienhuth staying put.

This thread has degenerated into an analysis of the mentality and quality of the scoop posters, rather than the scoops themselves. It's a thread looking back on itself, trying to understand its history.

I've never understood why anyone cares so badly who posts a scoop, why they do it, and how they "behave" online. Add them to your Foes list if it is such a problem.

Lol and I think I probably started it all by asking the simple question, which person's scoops are we supposed to believe, since there seems to be conflicting reports? I got the best advice from the poster, who first responded to me. I wasn't expecting it turn into a character assassination thread after that! 😱pen_mouth:
