Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I sound like a broken record but the missing piece is a controlling half

Additionally a wow factor fullback and a fast winger.


The fullback or fast winger will do very little if we dont sort out the halves.

A player capable of winning a clive churchill medal is who we need to be looking at.

I dont think that is Brooks or Walters.

Who though..most of those are tied up..

Just anyone but your mate, its time to move on.

In all seriousness though this coach can recruit so whoever he signs basically.

Not writing 2020 off by any stretch, but with the additions of Blore, Stefano and Kepaoa, next seasons lineup has some size about it:

1 Doueihi
2 Kepaoa
3 Joey Leilua
4 Talau/ Mbye
5 Nofo
6 Reynolds
7 Brooks
8 Aloiai
9 Liddle
10 Packer
11 Leilua
12 Garner
13 Twal
14 Blore
15 Stefano
16 Mikaele
17 Musgrove

Pretty impressive pack and bench when they are all playing at their potential.

It would be good to hang on to Eisenhuth, Big Mac and Clark too I think. Need balance and cover for injuries and these guys will all step up and play a role.

Im gonna say that we wont have Packer or Reynolds next season .. I reckon they wont be with us anymore.

We need a better fullback .. Doueihi has been kind of safe .. but he aint a fullback .. was found wanting last night .. out of position, his defence is subject, very poor attempt to tackle RCG when he went on to score .. maybe in the centres for him .. ?? Isn't Kepaoa a fullback/centre/winger .. ?? need someone with more speed at the back and someone who can read the attack and defend better .. !!

Where do you think Packer and Reynolds are going to go both under contract on good money ESL very dicey with COVID at the moment I think the fairy God mother is in ISO

Im happy to wait a few years for him to develop whoever it may be, Brooks however will never step up in a grand final and win clive churchill. Very good at the Dally M however.

In all seriousness though this coach can recruit so whoever he signs basically.

That's not what you said though ..you said a half that can win a Churchill medal..

Curious who you suggest as this is a suggestions thread..

If Brooks goes he goes ..players come and go all the time ..the Club is what is paramount..

Let me spell it out for you.

Brooks is not going to get any better, he is what he is. As he is he isnt a player that will ever step up in a grand final and get us home.

Coach's job now is to go and find someone who can.

Im not talking about signing someone who can do it tomorrow. As he has with all his signing he will survey the field wand recruit a player who has these attributes.

Daejarn Asi looks a real talent, I would be going hard for him - another cheap young up and comer

When Morgan comes back I’m assuming he’ll take his spot so he might be poachable

You’d end up at Callan Park if Brooks were moved on ?

We all want them to do well...right

I know Dean Pay would not agree with me but I would look at Lewis from the Dogs Great defence and good gold kicker. Learning his trade at the moment but great potential.

 

[Joel Helmes]

@tonza I agree.

He has looked at home in the NRL, not sure what is contract status is, they also have Drinkwater out at the moment too, so his path is blocked

He has never kicked a goal in the NRL, we can do better

Hopoate from the Broncs has been mentioned as a possible get not on last weeks effort and his miss on the half tonight pass

I know Dean Pay would not agree with me but I would look at Lewis from the Dogs Great defence and good gold kicker. Learning his trade at the moment but great potential.

I'm warming to this idea. Dogs are cashed up and on the hunt for a halfback. Prepared to pay overs, so lets trade Brooks for Lewis and the dogs can pay the difference.

Lewis is defensively on par, superior kicking game & he looks to be calm out there with good communication skills.

Seriously, has anyone ever dropped a Brooks bomb? It's like his intention is to make it as easy as possible for the FB to catch. Not to mention his severe low energy personality, that if he walked into a doggy day care, all the pups would go straight to sleep.
