Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

@happy_tiger - he isn't great compared to the other fullbacks but I think he can come good. He has pace and he can ball play. He isn't going to be as good as RTS, Tedesco, Ponga or Turbo but they are some of the best players in the comp.

I just think we should give him some time.

@Cultured_Bogan nrl wesbite reporting that Gutho wants 4 year 2.8m deal. So 700k per year. Hard pass for me. Not worth that kind of coin.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

@WT2K That'll be cheap by the end of his contract to be fair.

 

[Fitzy05]

Mbye is safe but not a star. Thompson is also safe at the back.

 

[TheDaBoss]

@Cultured_Bogan

if he gets desperate, the price will come down

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

@TheDaBoss he'll get what he's asking for I reckon.

 

[Masterton]

@Cultured_Bogan If there's one thing history has shown, someone will be desperate for a decent half and pony up the money.

@WT2K That'll be cheap by the end of his contract to be fair.

I'd pay that tomorrow if he was keen to come

 

[Sabre]

Briton Nikora off contract at the end of the year.
Let's sign him up.

@happy_tiger Interested who the 9 better FBs are? Tedesco, Ponga, Turbo, RTS no argument.

 

[WT2K]

@Sabre kid has some serious pace.

 

[happy_tiger]

@jirskyr

Gutherson
Widdop
Milford
Moylan
Hopoate
Hughes and Drinkwater
Gordon =

Better or even than Mbye

 

[jirskyr]

@happy_tiger You jest. Hopoate? Drinkwater? The bloke has played 1 FG game? Flash Gordon is dependable but hardly an exciting prospect. Milford plays 5/8th not FB, unless you want to start counting all halves as potential FBs.

No argument Mbye isn't in the top tier or two of fullbacks, but there is a pack of reasonable fullbacks after that and frankly I cannot agree to identify 9+ fullbacks, actual legit fullbacks playing fullback who are clearly better than Mbye.

It's all opinions of course.

 

[WT2K]

I think we were rumoured to be interested in Blayke Brailey from the Sharks.. He's re-signed with the Sharks for 3 more years.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

@WT2K Yep 430k not bad for a kid with less than 10 games coming off the bench.

 

[Geo]

It’s all opinions of course.

Hopoate is such a good fullback he's playing in the centres and lol @ Moylan..

Happy can't nominate 9 legit fullbacks either so he makes stuff up..now if he put Munster in might be better..

 

[WT2K]

@Tweed_Tiger decent coin for a bench player. Think his brother is contracted until 2020. Be interested to see who we target next if indeed we are still looking for a 9.

Disappointed in this. There was word we were chasing him and I think he’s good. I’m still hopeful of Liddle but last year I was confident, now I’m only hopeful and one injury away from skepticism

 

[BalmainJnr]

@Tiger_Steve would have been a nice addition. There is something oddly pleasing about our club helping drive up the contract price of someone else’s junior player rather than it happening to us though.

 

[TheDaBoss]

@Geo

When does munster come contract?


Keary is also another suggestion
