Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would only look at a Hargreaves intimadator type to add to what is already a very solid forward pack.
Pangai would do as well.

No to Tamau.

I would love JWH in our team, he's exactly what our pack needs. The Rorters missed him up front last night. Not sure what money he's on. ( I don't think anyone knows other than Nick)

TPJ is running out of teams that are interested in signing him.Should WT'S sound him out MADGE could draw up a plan of what he wants from him and insert incentives for achieving his KPI's and also penalties for not if somehow we could get TPJ and Welch we would have a competitive pack and team.

I reckon there’ll be plenty of teams after him. Would be good if no one wanted him and we could offer him a smaller contract, I’m not to keen on him but for the right price I would be okay with it

Rorters don't want him
Storm very cool on him
Souffs can't fit him in
Parra same problem
Penrith can't fit him in
Doggies maybe
Broncos no
Titians would be tight fit
Manly probably cant fit with the turbo's & DCE
Tigers maybe

So you can see his options are limited for a big money player

Doggies and warriors have money to spend. All the bottom 8 teams will be interested, he’ll end up on a good deal somewhere I reckon.

Seems like we are still in the process of trying to free up salary cap space which makes it harder to talk to any possible signings

I think we definitely need a second rower for next season. Luciano is great playing 80 on the left, but that right hand side has tried everyone and no one has stuck out. Lawrence is done, MCK is bog average, Garner is either amazing or super quiet. Maybe the plan is to put Blore there after a full pre season but if he struggles then we will be very limited in that area.

I don’t see why Blore couldn’t make that position his.

wonder if the dogs would look at brooks ? problem is he is only on $550k or so ?

This is what I don’t get about this forum, we all complain about not having star players but when they become available we nit pick the smallest fault and turn our heads to it, watching them go to rival clubs and flourish for them while we continue to complain - RCG is a good example just based on this year alone

A star player who would add so much to our pack is available and we’re in a good position to sign him if we pursue and some people are against it I can’t wrap my head around it

He’s still only 24 and has so much more potential uprise and he would already be our best forward automatically if you insert him in our team as he’s already a star

He runs for 150 meters, gives you about 3 offloads a game along with having the ability to smash oppositions best forwards (ask Klemmer and Tamoulolo)

The only hole in our pack is the second row position in which he can cover, our pack instantly looks so much better when you add him in there imo

Its about $650k , so who do you replace him with for that money?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

could we take flanagan from roosters or we run with Madden for a year and see what happens. I like brooks at that price though we wont get better really

Can’t see him going to warriors. Think we’re one of his most likely options. Not sure if I want him or not

I really hope he does solves an issue for us for next season. Garner on the bench and it looks good.

Dragons need to replace Frizell as well, they might have a go at him. Guess we will have to wait and see, like I said for the right price I am not opposed to it at all.

 

[WT2K]

Yes to TPJ. Though, with TPJ, packer and Joey in the same team.. that's a minimum 12 weeks suspension between them 😂

I would love JWH in our team, he's exactly what our pack needs. The Rorters missed him up front last night. Not sure what money he's on. ( I don't think anyone knows other than Nick)

Also his golf caddie.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Just on Pangai.... would we want a guy who has reportedly come out in the media, after the selfish actions he's displayed re CoVid, and said the he doesn't care what his club, the Broncos, do because they're a basket case!!

Pangai is the type of player you need to challenge. The challenge being to get fit, get motivated, play exceptionally well , behave and in return we will sign you for 2 years on good $. If you perform, we will let you take offers at the end of 2021 season and if we cannot match them, you will be free to leave.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Just thinking ahead two years how boring the forum will be when we have won the comp and Me, Russ, Mike, Gnr4life, Geo, hobbo, Willow Joshcoleman all agree on selections and team members
what a nice place to be
then the debate would head to where we would play etc
i guess lets settle for making the semis first

Put him on a incentive contract. Stay on the field and you will get paid more next year and so on the year after. Money talks.

It would be great to sign a guy like Christian Welch. Over the last month we have been completely dominated by the forwards of our opposition. Don't know the running metreage of our pack in recent games but I believe the stats wouldn't be great. We simply cannot win games without at least matching the opposition in this area. We need to focus on fixing this problem as it wouldn't matter who our halves are if we don't!

Our forwards normally start off well. Even against knights they held their own for 10 minutes - until Benji gave away a 7 tackle set. If you have no field position and can’t build pressure your forwards are gonna get rolled and that’s on the halves

Our pack could for sure use improving but I don’t think it’s a priority

I don't know JC - it's a bit chicken and egg. However, I am not sure you can blame the halves if your forwards are getting rolled after 10mins. My view is that your forwards need to earn the space and time for the halves to operate.
I think our pack's consistent performance week in and week out is the number one priority, as to win consistently in the NRL everything needs to start from that foundation. If you watched the Storm last night against the Rorters, their forwards were relentless in attack and defence, allowing the spine the space and time to carve them up. On the other side of the coin the Rorters halves (while they were on the field that is) were not their usual dominant selves.

There would have to be a review of the no dickhead policy.

The weekly 3-2-1 selections each week would have a total new meaning

The forum would be such a strange place if we won 90% of our games and consistently challenged for titles... I often wonder what it’s like being a storm or roosters fan 😂
