Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jirskyr]

@Nelson But Bellamy played Croft at HB in the finals last year? Hughes wasn't injured at the same time?

I frankly don't know what Bellyache is doing with Papenhuizen, a little fullback on the bench, running on late to play a hooker-type role. Maybe he puts Drinkwater or Hughes there when DW is back.

 

[weststigerman]

@Madge Another small winger?

 

[WT2K]

I'd rather focus on signing a 9 as succession for Robbie. Liddle seems injured every week. Not sure who we'd target though.

@WT2K
Brendon Smith (Storm)

 

[Madge]

@weststigerman I think speed is our main concern at the moment, he’s a quality finisher aswell.

 

[boonboon]

@Madge bevan french - thabk god your not our recruitment guy. He isnt a winger and we already have a nsw cup fullback

 

[supercoach]

@Madge ''we already have half our roster or more like French....reserve graders!!!

Speed, size, power, Xfactor, props that can run hard, offload and actually make more than 20 metres in a game - we have lots of concerns. Too many to fix with our budget apparently.

Out of our “Off Contract” players I’d release the following:

Benji Marshall
Mahe Fonua
Michael Chee-Kam
Robbie Farah
Robbie Rochow

And have a crack at signing these, apparently still off-contract end of 2019*(according to zero tackle):

A. KOROISAU
M. REIN
J. OFAHENGAUE
C. WELCH
T. KAMIKAMICA
PANGAI JUNIOR
C. OATES
J. RAPANA


*assuming we have cap space (with or without brown paper bags) & we’re an employer of choice in the NRL player world!

 

[Sunnycoast_tiger]

@Spud_Murphy Pagai Junior will stay Brisbane or go Souths/ Roosters. Braden Hamlin-Uele, Josh Kerr & Patrick Mago are more likely options. Surely there are some good outside backs running around in Canterbury Cup.

 

[TheDaBoss]

@momo_amp_medo

He would be ideal, he runs hard

 

[Snake]

The first 2 positions is a No 7 and No9 for next season then build on that with further additions ...Brooks is done still single so can spend a few seasons in the ESL and travelling .

Rein is probably the worst hooker in the NRL i would rather we develop anyone else from within or from reggies elsewhere

Bye bye to Benji, Farah, Liddle, Chee Kam, Rochow, McQueen, Fonua, Nofo, Packer, Matulino & Brooks (someone will take him).

Hello to Oates, Rapana, Bateman, George Burgess, Kaufusi, Gutherson, Koroisau, Luai (not off contract, but who cares, he's stuck behind Golden Boy)

Just dreaming I know, but wouldn't it be nice? Would spark us up immensely 😁

How about Isaac Luke? We could get maybe three good seasons out of him. I would prefer him five years ago, but we need quality and I think we should be prepared to compromise.

Koroisau would be a better option I reckon.

 

[JD Tiger]

And I'd pay $1.5m/year for Latrell Mitchell, he's that good. but I doubt he'd come to us even for that money.

 

[JD Tiger]

@Spud_Murphy I haven't seen much of Koroisau, can he kick in general play? We need a hooker that can to make up for the halfback we have.

Oh I forgot Taylor and Eisenhuth - they can go too.
