Come on Kiwi coach, do your thing. The Dogs will take Reynolds back, who cares about Benji running around in reserves.

Raiders have cash with Austin, Paulo and Boyd all leaving and they have a greater need for a half. I think he'll end up there or at Parra if he wants to be in Sydney.

 

[Strider]

Yes, that rumour Klemmer leaves Dogs, allowing Dogs to take back Reynolds, and we get Johnson. I like that.

Klemmer just hit the jackpot

Not wrong. He can get away from his apparently terrible family as well.

Napa has also joined bulldogs as rumoured and felise has signed with raiders for 2 years…..
Imo klemmer leaving was the right decision for him and bulldogs, as Bulldogs know have the money for some great potential

I doubt it …. Napa would have not come cheap and Klemmer was not on anywhere near what he’ll be getting at the knights. So even Steven on that one.

Since when is Grub leaving? Just when you thought this thread couldn’t get any crazier.

Any chance McQueen would improve under Maguire. Cleary and some questionable tactics when it came to the forwards. Maybe McQueen is more a Maguire player?

More hope than a serious question.

I haven’t written off McQueen yet - hoping he comes good. But we appear to have many backrowers of similar style: Lawrence, Matterson, Garner, McQueen

I noticed the other day McQueen was in Maguire grand final winning team.

I still cannot quite understand our recruitment- we have money and sign Clarke and Musgrave but Napa and Klemmer were available. Did we chase them? If so, why would Klemmer choose knights over us? If we didn’t chase them - why not??

If johnson stays with warriors next year at with benji leaving 2020 it could happen .

If I had to make a guess, I'd say he'll end up at either the sharks or raiders.

At the end of 2011 would you rather we kept Fifita and lost Woods instead?

Raiders are seeking salary cap relief for Rapana. JJ Felise also signed for two years with the Raiders.

Because Klemmer wanted out of Sydney. Besides, recruitment is far more intricate than supporters care about knowing. He would have commanded close to 1 million dollars. That leaves our club asking whether it’s worth investing that much money in a position we don’t really need to when Musgrove will fit into the side nicely. What happens if Brooks leaves and we have no halfback, and we can’t offer the money it would take to get SJ for example, because we threw it all away on Klemmer. Just because good players are available, does not mean you have to chase them. If they throw out the balance of the rest of the squad, what is the point?

Ive come across the same issue.

Only conclusion i can draw is that Maguire has a couple of other quality players in mind.

4.3 million reasons.

I have to call in to question the medical and physical checks done on players before they sign, and before they actually start at the club. If McQueen was injured after he signed with WT but was injured with the Titans in his final time there, why the hell didn't we back out of the contract citing injury. Maybe there needs to be some form of insurance that the leagues clubs contribute to for only these circumstances. Not unnaturally he doesn't want to medically retire but sheez he has never really been able to recover previous form and WT are lumped with an incoming player badly injured whilst with another club.

Which now that he has "recovered" but not willing to face a Medical retirement. We should throw him into first grade and make him take the hard hitups.

He either performs as a 400K player or he retires. If he refuses to go on the field, then he is target practise for Twal and Huth.

Someone in our medical dept didn't do their homework on McQueen…was injured 2017 and unfortunately deteriorated...but we shld have picked that up despite being in our somewhat desperate state after the big 3 left.
He shld have retired,but found WT cheque book
As for **Sean Johnstone**...too small for a 6....only relevant if Brooks gets too greedy.Theres not a lot between them,tho Id rather have the Kiwi at same $$as hes very impressive on his day(which are about as infrequent as brooks)
...and please..no more reserves/ISPs...we must have a truckload of cash....buy a quality centre!

Shaun.

Pffttt people who cant spell players names.

Think we all know whom im talking about…and the sentiment and message is more important than how someone spells their name to most people with an education...?

He probably cost a fortune and despite being a really good player we need to manage our cap better than what we have in the past.

I'd be making a play for Leilua if that's the case.

I think most of us see what our priorities are right now …. and it ain’t a prop forward. We need to spend our money wisely and not pee it against the wall. It’s a long season so now we shoot for a good fast first grade backline addition and with still cap money in the bank we should be able to review our roster requirements around June next year.
