Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I get people want some positive news right now but I’m glad the club aren’t rushing into signing just anyone. I’m sure they are talking to players but we need to get the right players and if they aren’t there right now we need to wait.
 
Fullback is a huge weakness - Mbye is a damn solid signing
Backrower is a huge weakness - Matterson is arguably the best on the market
Centre is a huge weakness - Momirovski is the next cab off the rank at the premiers stuck behind two of the best young centres in the game, pretty coy signing

Looks to me like we are taking a quality > quantity approach.
 
You can thanks Cleary for the slowdown in recruitment. No one will sign at this stage of the year unless we get it sorted.

I was speaking with a player manager today who was confident Maguire to Broncos, Bennett to Tigers, Cleary to Penrith. Also believed Todd Payten would replace Brad Arthur later next year and Arthur would return to the Eagles with Cartwright as a one year fill in.

The thing is bennett is on more $$$ at Brisbane next year. Who covers that?

The quicker this happens the better so we can relax for a few weeks…
This is just a joke and we are becoming the laughing stock of the NRL again - Not caused by us of course but Panthers and Gus..

If I was a player i would wait to sign here unless the money was overs..

Paul White writes a cheque 2moro.

Been crickets ever since we signed Matterson. One good player ain't gonna help us too much.

One of the biggest problems we had as a club was the amount of leaks we had. Now that we have fixed that people are upset that they don't know what is happening inside the club. We shouldn't know!
 
I didn’t really see much from the one game he played tbh don’t get the hype. Momo I’m talking about btw, can someone conivince me or tell me something that he’s done for this hype ??

Brisbane are you paying bennett contract out. Yes sweet.

Panthers are you paying ivan contract out ?yes sweet. Or No okay I'm signing Maguire

Tigers will you sign bennett if he and ivan contracts are paid out? Yes sweet.

When you look at it Broncos owe Wayne massively over the last 30 years he is a legend and the most important person making the Broncos brand. It’s his time to go and a 1m parting gift would be minor in relation to his achievements for them.

The Panthers if they have an ounce of credibility will pay out Clearys contract as a PR exercise. They have paid out Griffin and Cleary big money in the past and are backed by a rich club.

Wayne will come at full freight but hopefully subsidised by the Cleary sale. I think it’s highly likely we end up in a very good position with a better coach, cash in the bank and a better roster quickly.

Bennett loves a dollar as much as Gary Jack and is little doubt posturing with the horses in saying that he is only looking for 2020 onwards contract elsewhere. My guess would be a $500k odd settlement and payment for any auxiliary staff being moved on in the process.

I'm not talking about leaks, I'm talking about us being active in the player market and signing some damn good players! Matterson isn't our saviour. There is no way the speculation surrounding our coach is not affecting recruitment.
 
It’s not like clubs are trading players left and right and we are standing in a corner all my ourselves. There hasn’t been much player movement across the league. I can’t remember a player signed in the last 2 weeks where I felt that they should be at the Tigers.

Showed more talent in one game(semi final) than Fonua showed in the whole season.

To be fair not many clubs are signing bucket loads of players.
We’ve signed 2 in positions we needed to, and maybe one or two more and that’s about all we need.
Remember the season ended on Sunday.

Ain't that the truth.

I'd say more than he has shown in his whole life.

But the game against the titans, IMO I think he had a poor game other than the try he scored. His defence was no where near first grade standard., Idk maybe I’m being too harsh
