[Joel Helmes]

By this time last year we knew all our 2018 signings. Getting worried as it’s just too quiet.

I’m feeling the same. Either we have the tightest club in history as far as rumours getting out is concerned or we’ve actually got nothing to talk about.
Logic would say that you don’t release players the standard of Sue, Grant, Naiqama, MWZ, maybe Marshall and Farah, if you haven’t lined up better replacements. But I’m not convinced about our recruitment so I’m nervous.
Though I will say this - I think Nathan Cleary is coming. Just a hunch.

Either all the players we have signed are still play for there club in the finals, and are keeping it hush hush.

I think Penrith have thrown it out there to keep us out of the market

We should leave Nathan Cleary until 2020 and get the squad right first

I’d be very happy with a Reynolds/Brooks combo next year as long as they stay fit. Really would like to see a fast winger, a fast centre, a mobile damaging back tower and a mongrel prop - all established first graders

A couple of things posted here, firstly that Liddle is injury prone. This is a term which is thrown around without any questioning of the logic behind it. People are neither injury prone, nor not injury prone; it is simply a matter of blind luck as to whether a player gets injured or doesn't get injured. Have a look at the St. George game today and watch how Nightingale picks up a dislocated elbow. Is he prone to elbow injuries? No, just bad luck in a highly physical game. What about Benji and his shoulder woes some years back. Looking at him now, you couldn't say that he's prone to shoulder injuries but he was labelled as injury prone back then. In fact, shoulder reconstructions, otherwise known as rotator cuff injuries are very common in the wider community and this is what Liddle suffered in both shoulders. Plain old dumb luck that he suffered rotator cuff tears in both shoulders at the same time.

Secondly, the need for a back up hooker. All clubs have a hooker running around in ISP but why? Well, presumably it would be as cover for the first grade hooker and if the ISP hooker is not good enough for that, it's down to poor recruiting, something that Wests Tigers are not immune to. I agree that somebody like Matt Parcell would be good to recruit but Jacob will be a great NRL Number 9 for us, going on to be a rep player.

Gus Gould reckons Taupau and Segeyaro to the Eels. Wonder who they are releasing as they wouldn’t have cap room with Paulo coming at 700k p.a.
