Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[stryker 69]

I'm not sure how this still isn't understood but the players we'll be signing for next season will nearly all be under contract in 23, and get released.
Just like many of our losses won't just be those without a contract but the likes of Liddle, Peachey, Gildart etc who are under contract but we're trying to offload...

This is understood, and is why many have been calling on recruitment all year long to investigate opportunities. Lets hope this was conducted.

I think it's a noble thing saving Brooks from the last few weeks. No doubt he could of played

That's the difference of the approach from a coach trying to save his job compared to Sheens doing the opposite approach of thinking for future.

Both have plus and minus. Look at last year we had talau do season ending injury for little gain.

But this season look like an even bigger basket case and no player will want to come here.

Regardless, I think now that Sheens let those guys crash and burn he should let the majority go and pray to God he can do some player trading

I hope that is theory only. If Brooks was fit he should have been played. Showing favours for some while others are out there getting caned. Not on - and may explain why their performances have been so disgraceful and Sheens has been distancing himself.

I would love to sign Reuben Garrick as a Fullback. Think he would be a good one plus good goal kicker too.

According to some on here, Brooks is our best. If we didnt use "our best" for fear he'd be injured, Id want those decision makers sacked immediately before they cause anymore harm.

It's your opinion looking ahead to next year is an opinion too.

If we playing for the finals and not being last or second last I'm sure he would of played

Is that fact or is that you speculating?

its a stupid question that has been answered. Go away.

 

[gallagher]

At least Roberts retired.

It's a pertinent question that you won't answer.

Keary will be medically retired and end up with a plum job at the club.

Is that fact or just an opinion ?

 

[earl]

I had a thought like this as well.
I think it's a big reason Noffa was sent to the Storm as well.
Out of Sydney & remove the pressure off him
Both have copped it and there is no way it couldn't be taking a toll on them mentally.

I was thinking it highlights how these guys aren't the problem. If they were the problem then we would have performed a lot better than we did.

they are looking ahead to 2024. given up on next year already

Koula is a very quick and good centre/fullback and one of the 7.

Watching Doueihi yesterday, the centre and winger hardly ever see the ball as he nearly always runs himself.

AD played rubbish at a time he should have taken the lead. I have a very low opinion of him as a 5/8. Doesn't pass, cant set up a centre of second rower outside him (or rarely does). Plusses are that he has a great bomb (but cant repeat it every time) and can throw a pass (that cuts out the centres and second rowers) to the winger. iPap better not be on his side next year.

He's the only one in the spine that you could call a leader recently and he does stuff all. He winged about playing reggies if he didn't play 5/8... he got his chance.

Our focus needs to be on getting some bookends that can make some post contact meters.
Lodge, Frizell and Klemmer maybe. TPJ could be forced out of the Bulldogs??

 

[Camel2281]

Have we signed anyone yet?

 

[tigger19]

Yes to frizell and Klemmer

yeah exactly. a big prop that gets 100m plus every time. As Brandy and Gould calls them a 1st prop... but we need 2 of them. (Klemmer/Thompson/Ftiz fit the bill). TPJ is a solid no unless he's on $400K or less

A fit Stefano, with Joffa, and Twal (plus the 2, even 1, is a handy rotation). Backrowers of Blore/iPap and talau are far superior than what we had at the back end of this year. Hastings at 13 of course.

Zane "I cant tackle" Musgrove can play reggies all year
