Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Fraze23]

To be honest I would rather not lose Corey as he gives his 100% every week. But if he is to leave I wouldn't mind seeing us sign Uate and give him another go in the nrl.


How old is Mate?. Would be older then me, and I am 36. Lol.

32 years old. 5 years ago we probably would have made that deal.

I’m as big a fan of Thompson as anyone, but if Jennings is going to be preferred going forward, let him go. It frees up a spot in the squad for next year which could prove useful. And Corey deserves to be playing first grade.

I agree.
If Corey will get a crack let him play at another club.
It’s clear he is behind our starting backline & unless injuries hit he will struggle for gametime with us.

Corey has been a great clubman but Madge is very active in looking at alternative talent and he may have found it within with some of the juniors coming through. If Thompson was to go it may open up an opportunity for Kane Bradley who moves quite well and would be effective under the high ball. He can also play like an extra forward due to his size as well.

WTs hierarchy should make a play for Jason Saab a winger with height at 1.99cm and speed plus his good mates with T.Talau and J.Madden.

This is the reality of it. New coach, new ideas. A proven coach for that matter who can identify talent. Whatever he is doing he has a plan.

I trust him enough to let it unfold before looking to question his decision.

The Titian’s have a winger they are not using that we tried to sign a year or so a go..Anthony Don. Fast, tall and very good under the high ball. Could there be a swap?

Is he any good? Of course he is, is Don is good!

I seem to recall he always scores tries against us.....a few years ago at Leichhardt he carved us right up...

Don’t forget there are a few development players joining the top 30 next year and the year after

 

[Sart0ri]

I doubt we would let CT go. If Doueihi, Nofa or Jennings were injured he is the only backup with any experience.

Have a feeling they would sign someone to take his spot fairly quickly

Yes especially when the Sharks potentially are looking for replacements for Fifita and Woods.

Euan Aitkin from st george to replace thommo

No offense, but I feel like you've mentioned Aitken 20 times.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

no offense Matterson probably because it has some legs to it apologies if people dont like the guy or think he cant play Madge obviously doesnt mind him

 

[Geo]

I'm wondering why it didn't happen last year..

 

[jadtiger]

no offense Matterson probably because it has some legs to it apologies if people dont like the guy or think he cant play Madge obviously doesnt mind him

I hope you are wrong because apart from speed he has nothing.He cant/wont pass and he is poor in defence.I would even prefer to keep Jennings than have him here,thats how low i rate him

 

[diedpretty]

no offense Matterson probably because it has some legs to it apologies if people dont like the guy or think he cant play Madge obviously doesnt mind him

Now that is offensive - calling Masterton, Matterson

 

[Goldust]

Euan Aitken has a lot more to offer than shown recently.im a fan of his so I probably sing his praises more than most.
But he has played in a very disappointing team for the past 4 seasons.under the right coach he could take his game a lot further
