Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[avocadoontoast]

Currently in the mix with 3 players but all contracted. Back line depth the major concern.
Centre, Wing & a 2nd Row/Centre are there positions.
Sam McIntyre close to signing 2 year extension.
Alex Seyfarth unlikely to be retained, good chance to also be loaned to the Warriors.
Esienhuth was not going to be offered a contract but that has since changed, although 1 year deal likely.

Cheers will these be for 2021 or any possibilities for this year?

For this year, if we can get 2 before August 3rd then mission accomplished but should jag at least 1 & then upgrade from with for final spot, most likely Brad Abbey.

Awesome, cheers Pom.

Hopefully it’s quality we are chasing. Would have to think Saab is one, I saw an article yesterday saying dragons aren’t holding onto him. Hasn’t played well but with some good coaching and development could turn into a good winger, would be purely a signing on potential

I know he's played behind some dud run on teams, but i still don't see the attraction for Saab except for his height.....he just seems like he doesn't care

Do you rate the players as strong additions if we do get any of them or just gap fillers for now?

Cheers POM love your info, do you have any news even in the slightest regarding the Harry Grant situation.... is there a clause, are we any chance to retain him even on a 1 year extra loan agreement or for him to stay permanently ?

It's all being played very coy, both clubs coming out saying loan deal stands, this is purely to save face as the NRL made it pretty clear when this was being agreed upon that it needs to be clean & can't be a media circus. Madge has made it pretty clear a couple times "these things have a way of working themselves out."
He 100% has a get out clause if Smith plays on, up for a huge $$$ upgrade if he plays it smart. Could ask for a release when Smith makes his mind up & cash in.

I see Luciano in him. The build, athleticisim is there but he needs that umph which Maguire produces.

Madge has a great opinion on Saab & under the new rules could become a future weapon, finally wants some height out wide.

Fair point....but for mine I see an attitude like Suli when he was here, all the talent but none of the intent

They will suit Madges cause & be handy to have.

please dont sign Saab he is a dud
As far as Grant goes if he has the chance to get a big payrise as if he and his management wont tell melbourne where to go

He’s been asking for a release so he’s not happy out there. He’s tall and quick and can score a try. Defence needs work, needs to put some weight on but if you fix those issues he can be a good player. At the moment he’s not first grade quality but with time under a good coach like Madge he’d go well.

Hopefully one Is a goal kicker ?

Is it true the club is putting money aside for Grant just in case?

Does Madge rate CHN?

Most certainly, but appears he's got his heart set on Raiders.

That’s a shame he would have been a great addition.
