Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[851]

How about the club addressing the absolute shambolic lack of pace in the backline? that is the immediate issue which needs to be addressed.

You are not wrong, we let go of anyone who shows some speed, and replace them with plodders :white_frowning_face:

Bennett has just confirmed George Burgess will not be at souths next year, after his suspension his price might be some what reduced

Absolute bonehead with feet for hands.

Still better than what we trot out each week, he is in our starting team, bonehead and all

I will take both Twal and Mikaele over him. Maybe even Aloiai as well.

Fair enough Twal, but no on the other 2, but that's just me, everyone has a different opinion

@851 what the hell do you think I have been complaining about ... the club has been and until I see any better continue to be useless with retention it has been diabolical to say the least! The club has been run into the ground with player strength .

What do you mean Madge re-signed Aloiai...?

Ill take Twal, Mikaele, Aloiaia and Burgess as the four rotating props thanks.

 

[earl]

@The_Patriot that would have to be up there as the best prop rotation in the comp.

 

[Nelson]

I hope we sign Mawene Hiroti from the bunnies

He is a winger/ centre, 80% plus goalkicker, Madge signed him at Souths and is only 21

Is fast, reasonably big and souths have a full backine

That would be a really good signing - off contract and with plenty of upside.

 

[hsvjones]

I don't know if he is off contract but I like Nick Meaney.. He kicks goals and plays a few positions and most important he gives everything..

Can’t wait to see the throng of clubs racing to sign him. Should be any minute now.

We will be lucky to sign Corey Dennis let alone George Burgess.

He's going to attract prime Luke O'Donnell levels of scrutiny from the refs and the judiciary as well...if you were going to sign him you'd want him to agree to forfeit a % of his salary for each game he sits out suspended.

 

[TieDye]

@TYGA totally agree, what’s our major draw card as a potential home for players ?

Didn't Maguire coach him...?

We missed him thats for sure. He was the obvious signing in hindsight.

 

[TieDye]

Obviously we can’t sign everybody Madge used to coach... he isn’t Ivan B. Cleary

Seriously though... to any players who haven’t just eye-gouged a club legend that the coach clearly also wants to reach 300 games. What do you think @Geo ?

You contribute often here so would love to know your view on this most pressing matter(son)... yet didn’t have a well formulated view on the stadium debate just passed ! Maybe some of the ‘supporter’ money is better put in towards a brain tank of blokes a little brighter than YOU or I to actually rectify it.

At the moment though, especially with how the Maggie’s are going in reserve grade with our Kings of CC constantly in and out of the side, no significant upgrade on players coming through or currently plodding it up would have ANY, SINGLE extra incentive to relocate @ concord

Really sweating on your reply mate. 🙏🏻

 

[TieDye]

@The_Patriot so many people laughed it up when others suggested that on here. We legitimately missed out on a player’s brother who couldn’t crack 1sts in the dragons luke warm backline - Steven Marsters - now people think Burgess would even wanna come here

Madge has kept our quality and looks to have targeted great young recruits and talent spotters but we never seem to compete in an open market. Thoughts, Patriot?

Ur a smart guy

Pls don’t use him as an example....

I would have thought playing under Maguire would be the draw card you were asking about...

 

[TieDye]

@Geo no! I’m being serious!! Come on, would Madge sign burgess now given he’s trying not to make a mess of the cap for the next few years at the very least and take us to the 8.

Even the most ardent fans who have been crying out for a more staunch prop for years surely couldn’t think that he’s the answer.

If he was, and even if Madge was to enquire do you not believe he’ll get a better offer?

I wouldn't sign him either ...I think he's over rated and not even the third best Burghi in the family...has way too many errors and brain snaps for mine per output..

but aren't we talking about two different things here..you said who would come to the Wests Tigers qouting Cory Dennis as a baseline type of player. as against a Burghi...I believe that Maguire should be able to attract a better quality of player to play under him than that
