Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Newtown]

Eisenhuth gone huh. That's disappointing. He's finally kicked on in his 4th year with us. Seems a waste to invest so much time in his development only for another club to reap the rewards. I think he'll do well wherever he ends up.

Club wants to retain him but has been asked to be patient while roster is turned over a little bit understand that if something comes along from another club that he needs to look after himself.

Sorry for all the questions, what’s the club doing player retention wise? Obviously it’s hard with next year being uncertain of squad sizes but surely they are at least in early discussion with some guys who are free to talk to other clubs come November

Only 2 players off contract in 2021 have had extensions discussed (Aloiai & Twal) but early days.

In regards to the squad size has the nrl set a date to decide

At this point no & clubs are getting increasingly frustrated.

Any internal talks of an experienced backrower i.e Proctor or Harris, or is this just media suggestions?

"Proctor has been discussed internally & a question of value was brought up with his mama helmet but nothing further."

This is what THE_POM said

What is a "mama helmet"?

I’d say spell check for management.

No one asked the @pom if we are interested in Staggs or TGJ from Broncos...
His like an Rolls Royce, you see it arrive but you admire it too much and forget to hope in and ask questions :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I first thought he was referencing his bowl hair cut looking like a helmet... ? I had to read it a second time.

Alot of the time this year I have felt I was the only one that felt we need better than Huth. He's a fill in till we have better. Appreciate his services for sure 👍

The daily telegraph is reporting Canterbury have withdrawn their offer for Foran. He wants a 2-3 year deal - but is willing to take a 70% pay cut, which would put him at around $300k-$350k a season.

I would take the risk, if he stays injury free it’s great value for money, if not we can use another of our halves. 10 games 11 try assists and 2 tries for a team coming last is pretty impressive.

I'd take him in a heartbeat at that price.

Only issue could be having too many halves in the squad which could be reduced. Need to keep it balanced

Should have asked @THE_POM when he was here earlier.

 

[izotope]

thanks for the intel @THE_POM
Seems chasing JAC over Saab
I hope the benji 'involved' is as an coaching consultant or something along that ilk not in the top 30 if we short on roster spots

 

[Strider]

I like what POM said only worth considering if we shed some big dollar halves. Otherwise experienced forward and fast back is priority 👍👍

 

[Magpie1969]

How many games has Foran been able to string together the last couple of years. Sorry but end up another waste of money. Bunty could be a good buy. 23 years old 68 NRL games 111kgs. Only downside missed this season with an ACL injury.

Hmmm, I’d wait to see how he finishes the year first.
We’ll if they are willing to only pay $350 for Foran. We can forget the idea of them paying any freight for Reynolds or Moses... maybe they plan on signing Green with Burton?

Who in the hell is "Bunty?"

Maybe Pascoe offered him an ambassador role...
