Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[2041]

Mine was serious

Assume we sign AJ for $300k and pay $100k for McQueen to play at Souths, so cost to them $300k

They are no worse off and fill a need for them and offload someone excess to requirements while we do effectively the same

Win, win I'd say

Nobody is taking McQueen off us, even if we pay 100% freight, let alone giving us anything of value for him. The guy has spent two years at the Tigers demonstrating that he adds no more value to a roster spot than whoever you have in reggies. Why would any club want him at all, let alone be willing to give something up for him?

I'm slightly confused , I'm 100% behind us trying to support our indigenous players on and off field , but hiring a assistant coach based on the fact he is indigenous

Maybe I'm too far away , but I've never heard of the bloke before

He was with WT'S last year and has been promoted to a more senior role MADGE would not have employed him just because he's indigenous MADGE is more professional than that!

I think you have missed my point , we could have signed someone to liaise with the indigenous players and the coaching staff

I don't get why he needs to be an assistant coach , a lot more highly credentialed assistant coaches who are indigenous and even have past NRL experience both on and off field

It shouldn't matter what your skin tone is when coaching , if you can't get it right with a player whether he is orange purple green or red you probably shouldn't be in the role ....

A good coach is a good coach .....period

The way it is portrayed is the club almost seems to be reacting to the LM situation or that we have a issue with indigenous players

Only a club ravaged with injuries MAY consider him.

I just caught the tail end of a news report that a South’s forward had broken his finger at training and was going to have an operation to repair it.
I didn’t catch the player name.
That’s going weaken an already depleted pack.

Mcqueen to SL is the ONLY option that could possibly work


that new canada based club could sign him

Didn’t they just sign SBW? They’re probably aiming a bit higher

Last year on the WT website there was an article about this coach, and he looked as if he knew what he was doing.

He's coached previously has apparently impressed MADGE there is no way WT'S have a problem with indigenous players they already have programmes in place and this appointment strengthens there position footballers tend to be more comfortable dealing with football backgrounded people than someone from outside

Douehi to tigers on a 4 year deal appparnetly

Douehi to tigers on a 4 year deal appparnetly

On Souths forum they are pretty despondent, referring to the swap deal and questions with WTs would let go MCK or Garner to assist with their forward problem.

Doubt those 2 would be in any talks to be released

Put yourself in the players shoes for a sec , are you more likely to listen to the advice from say a Mal Meninga , ArTie Beetson , Thurston , Inglis ,Thaiday Widders ,Peachey , Preston Campbell etc over a bloke who hasn't played a game of NRL

Agreed. I guess WTs do have some forward depth this year. Young Seyfarth may force his way in to 13 this year which makes one or two forwards available for loan?

Strange how the media is running with the Roosters angle yet yourself and the souths forum insiders are all stating WT as a certainty. So many media journo's have zero clue about what's going on.

what's changed since yesterday when you said your rorters source told you Doueihi was a done deal there?

Apparently he turned down roosters offer lastnight. Was a coin flip. He’s chosen tigers it seems

His manager using the media for his client's advantage? Who would think this could happen?

Oh right ok. I guess with those situations where there are two offers on the table there'd be a lot of back and forth.

It's absolutely unheard of in a game where the player agents and journalists are of such high integrity.

I’m not in the douehi camp. So I don’t know what flipped him. All I know is he had a meeting with roosters seemed keen to sign there then lastnight/this morning chose tigers. Maybe he had a chat to robbie and twal who knows. But looks like he will be announced today or tomorrow
