Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Guest]

We have Packer, Matulino and Twal under long term contracts and are getting Oliver Clark from penrith next year and people are saying we need better props. Does that mean that these players we signed on long terms deals are a mistake?

If Cleary does not extend his contract (e.g. rumours that he is targeted by the roosters), I pity the new coach as his early years will have a lot of his cap ties up in questionable signings like Reynolds, Matulino at even at that stage an aging Packer.

The Roosters are not targeting Cleary at the moment. They are more than happy with Robinson and want him to stay on.

Any more news on Meaney at this stage?

you posted on FB he's agreed to a handshake deal…has that changed in 24hrs...?

That's what i heard from on here and other sources so it is as it is for now. Just trying to get more information for the other guy who posted it on here if i can.

Please forgive me if I ramble on, am a little intoxicated and tho I've just got back from clubs can't sleep. Only reason I joined is because I'm feeling very deflated about my team right now and my boyfriend is a Warriors supporter and therefore is of no comfort. My heart is a little heavy and I feel so sad for the boys. I never expected such a strong start but because they exceeded everyone's expectations, it feels sooo disappointing right now. On the game, it was hard to watch them clearly struggle. But I think we were doomed prior to kick off with the team change. Thought Chee-Kam was superb. Lawrence going off then Nofoaluma's send off was the kick in guts for us. Refs were poor and while I love Benji, I wish he was more like a Peter Wallace type of player in using his maturity and experience to benefit team. By no means are we a team of stars, he should know our deficiencies and be playing suited to them. This was officially the first game I thought to myself , we miss Teddy. But Corey Thompson has been exceptional for us. I'm a Tui fan and actually hope he is rejoining the team in a couple of weeks if he is fully recovered from knee injury, another thing I wish us fans were informed about. As I thought he was out of flavour and not suffering from a recurring injury from round 1 (I think). I will be soooo glad to see Packer back and am wanting to see Josh Reynolds play now. Methinks Benji amongst others are fatigued. For those who say we've been found out, what exactly do you mean? Is it regarding the penalties or the team? I think this game showed we are well n truly in the rebuild stage and don't have an attacking style. There's the mixture of old (last year etc) and new, and tho Brooks and Benji played years ago they are even still learning to play together. Before I finish I've gotta say I love reading everyone's opinions and will continue to do so.

Wouldn't hurt huh… Lol

Daniel Mortimer anyone?

He'd do 100x better at DH than Godinet.

He would also do 100x better than Benji at 5/8 by the way he's played in the past few weeks.

Drinkwater

Matolino is terrible without packer getting the attention… Under 50 metres for a starting FR is just not good enough.. I say offer Boyd a 3 year deal ASAP

Matulino's strength is in his aggressive defensive game and his offload at the line and quick play the ball. Packer's is his strong runs and play the ball. When we were defending well we were winning against better teams.

We need MAtulino to fire up in defence and force the errors again. Best in the game at it.

Drinkwater

Agreed. He was killing it in ISP. Think he was the short term answer till Reynolds is ready too slot into 5/8 and Liddle into DH.

He’s a terrible first grader.

Sometimes I wonder what people are watching.

Matulino and Packer work so well together cuz their strengths are so different. Im struggle to think of a front row combo that compliment each others games.

Lets hope Brooks and Reynolds are just as great together. My moneys on they will be a perfect fit.

Better option than Benji though atm.

You said Rochow was our diamond in the rough …

times change i guess

 

[TurnStyle]

adding Boyd to the side would be awesome.
Boyd and Holmes added this year - yes please!

And you said for so long that the big 4 would remain. We all say things.

Neither did I in regards to Rochow. We’re talking about Drinkwater, it’s a safe assumption believing as bad as Marshall has been lately, he would still be a better option than Drinkwater.
