WT Player Recruitment & Retention for 2021

[Tigerbuck63]

money talks and we will have one hell of a war chest for 2022

Should sign JAC then as he is off contract

JAC had his chance his manager could not even show up to a prearranged meeting...
Although a quality player we move forward.
Certainly interesting what happens at the storm in relation to Hooker position.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Updated to reflect the release of Bradley and signing of Simpkins.

Still have three spots left, must be keeping the powder dry for a couple of players.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

19 players signed past 2021, 8 signed past 2022.

What do we know of this fella Simpkins? We've swapped a 2nd row with a 2nd row.

Do we know the relative merits of letting Kane leave and Simpkins to come in?

19 players signed past 2021, 8 signed past 2022.

Does that mean we can move up to 11 players at years end,or if we sign 3 more this year that means room for 8 players either extended,promoted, or bought for 2022?

Sorry a quick recount, only 18 signed past 2021.

There's 9 off contract this year out of 27 currently signed. I'd wager whomever we sign for the remainder of this year will be past 2021.

interesting we still have not made a move on Liddle beyond 2021 so maybe still waiting on Harry to make decision re Smith.
We have Simpkin to end on 2022

Mate i think Harry is loooooong gone.

Any truth to these rumours Zane Musgrove wants out to go to St George ? he is off contract fro end of 2021i believe

If he's thinking like that there's door dont let it hit you on the way out Madge only wants players who want to be here and prepared to dig in

He has signed here for another 3 years.

Not really as 3 spots at least will be taken by development players Kei, Hoffman and Talungi in 2022 more if they add additional development players this year..then there is Nofoaluma

He wasn't thinking it at all, it was based on garbage written by Buzz Rothfield, and Musgrove re-signed with us for 3 years only days after it was written.

The club showed Musgrove loyalty during his court troubles, and Musgrove showed loyalty back.

Hoffman may be a maybe.

Kane a winger ,then to forwards,probably a nice kid and wish him the best but surplas to the Tigers.Simkin has far more to offer at this stage.

Bradley came to us as a backrower but was converted to the wing. More upside with Simpkins either way.

wouldn't expect Liddle to be re-signed until the first few months of the season. the club would want to ensure his body can handle it before they invest in him for a couple more years. no rush, he'll repay the favours the club have done for him these last few years. as for Brandon Smith, the dogs are well and truly in the box seat there.

Not necessarily.

It feels like Cam Smith is going around again. Surely he would've announced his retirement by now.

If CS9 is playing in purple in 2021, I'm not sure Harry will be.

Anyone looked at the kennel lately? There’s excitement building around Momirovski, they think he’s had a falling out with Coach? I know those dogs supporters aren’t reliable, but are they on a scent?

There appears to be some friction developing between Storm and Broncos. Some high profile Storm personnel moving to Broncos in 22, including Bellamy. I also think the Storms hooker situation is far from settled.
