Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Broncos wont be able to keep all those forwards. Lodge, TPJ, Ofenhauge didn't even play ladt night. Fledger was outstanding, Carrigan excellent. Would take any of their pack...except McCullough lol

They’ll keep the ones they want though

I think you will find they will keep Haas and Fifita 100%, for close to 2 million between them. But they wont be able to keep in the long run all of:

- Flegler, Carrigan, Ofahangoue, Lodge, Pangai

All of these guys could demand really decent coin elsewhere, but won't be able to get it at Brisbane. There forward depth is amazing. All would start at 90% of NRL Clubs and all would definitely be a leading forward at the Tigers. Brisbane will have to offer less and hope they stay on good faith.

I was one of the guys cheering for us to sign LM but glad we got AD instead.. (Even happy we missed Lomax)
He will get better as he gets fitter and if he was under Madge he would of been rusty at this stage as well but when you think about it the Roosters don't let great players go without a fight if they are wanted.. Something fishy i think.

Me too. We’ve dodged some bullets the last 12 months. Mitchell, Lomax And DWZ.

Also letting Masters was s good move. He was terrible the other night. Made errors pretty much every time he touched the ball. He will be playing Qcup soon.

I’m so pleased we didn’t sign Mitchell. He’s had plenty of opportunity to show some aptitude for the FB job over the years. I think Bennet knows the only way to get the best out of him is to let him make his own decisions regarding his career. No different from any of us really. Bennet may have always known that? Now Burns and Jimmy the jet know it too, they both had great games. Imo

Best crop of junior talent in the comp, bar none.

Interesting times ahead how can a club sign anyone when we have no idea what the comp/salary cap may look like next year and beyond. Pay cuts may be on the cards

DWZ is a puzzle the guy is a good player , should put Hoopa fullback /DWZ Center..

He runs the ball back really well, sets up his outside men, but has troubles with the high ball, I think fullback is his spot, if he can improve his handling he will be a star fullback

 

[Tigerboy]

I’m glad we didn’t sign Latrell for $1M

A little on the obvious side, but **drumroll**, official NEW comment of the year.

Mannah was never going to be getting much money from us for a 1 year contract (2019) so he would be in a different category as far as i am concerned

Dodged bullets? Pretty sure he fits...

Edit: the concern was players who didn’t sign on within the last 12 months. Mannah would’ve been a massive failure under the guise of that. Not withstanding what you’ve mentioned about the figures, Matty Ballin was a bargain then?

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Sadly, Latrell's games for Souths so far. proven that he is just another Mundine - great potential, but basically most of the time simply not interested and lazy, hopefully he will prove me wrong!

Ballin was a huge mistake to massage a coaches ego and it cost us about 100k for his first year and 300+ for his second year.Mannah was to be a signing for a maximum 4 months at just above base rate probably around 70k its like comparing oranges and lemons

No. It’s not. Mannah was to receive over 150K and was actually intended to be extended.

If you’ll check previous posts I have a fairly reliable source. Not about that though it’s comparing the potential output to the hype and media beat-up (which always paints us in a negative light) so to add to the facts that we have indeed dodged bullets and missed train wrecks; they’re more like apples and apples. Ballin was a huge mistake but in virtually the same situation...

Not to start anything but you’re out of legs

The 2nd stanza of M. B is probably like comparing oranges and lemons... but not at the first reports and initial signing as we were all DEFINITELY screaming out for a hooker.

My information about Ballin comes from a very reliable Manly source.As far as Mannah is concerned i am going off what was stated on here when it was being talked about.If Mannah was going to be extended he would have been a poor signing none the less Mannah cost us stuff all and Ballin cost us big dollars.

Manly/Des know zero... lol they’re the ones who consistently have been done for infringements both within club departments and to Sal Cap.

Seems pretty reliable

Well, as I just said to you, Mannah was one that we dodged and that is pretty concrete. Don’t really get the point you’re trying to make?

I dont know Des(i assume you mean Hasler) but my info was reliable.The point is Mannah cost us nothing because we didnt get him unfortunately i cant say the same for Ballin.You are the one who bought Ballin into the discussion not me
