Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Iamback]

This decision will make it harder to sign a name. We have such a long history of not having any pulling power. 3 comps in row hasn't even helped it

Nah Fifita took the easy out, Not everyone will

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Very disappointing. Not even 3 premierships can compete with the Rorters. Need to continue to focus on the up and coming players and buy value.

Maybe I'm just damaged from all the years haha.

 

[Hamstring awareness]

On Crichton, Not sure a 28 year old is where we should open the war chest

Glad you’re not on our recruitment team then, have you seen him play this season? If he’s not the first picked edge for NSW I’ll be shocked.

 

[Chins get the wins]

The Warriors owe us massively. Surely a few are "homesick"

 

[WestyLife]

That is it. Throw in Holbrook too, curious who they said would be their 6 in the pitch though

Fact is they'll be good with field position and not be able to use it because they won't have the halves/backs for it.

Martin is the only NSW backrower to not roll over like a bitch in the last 5 years

 

[murraymob]

This makes us look pissweak

Why we pay by the cap not under the table

The biggest critcism of Fifita is he is soft.

He has no link to us whatsoever and knows he will have to work.

As opposed to the Roosters that will just buy a good team, He can play with his Origin mate Collins.
Get coached by Holbrook and sneak into the finals each year.

As opposed to working hard for 3 years and actually improve as a player

No one ‘owes’ us; we have won the last three comps.

It sucks that we didn’t get Fafita, but he is gravy. We have a top 4 squad without him; losing Fish is a blow, but Smith and Henry will be a year older and the rotation is coming along nicely (Fish hasn’t been great this year so far).

We keep our powder dry and have a go at the next guy that matches a need. Don’t need a big signing just for the sake of it.

Yep. But they will bully some bum teams and sneak into the 8

 

[Girds89]

Argh well. Disappointed but least it was resolved quickly.

We can move on and focus on someone else.

We know we have money to throw round now..

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Disappointing but lets resign Garner for say half the cost of Fifita. Now we can also look elsewhere.

You’d pay 425k per season for Garner?

 

[PennyPanthers81]

You’d pay 425k per season for Garner?

What's he on now?
I'm sure we could resign him for much less than that.

I think those prone to homesickness left when the team relocated back to NZ after COVID

He didn't play in Vegas.
Played NSW Cup in Round 2

He has had a good couple of months but you aren't dropping more than $600k on him and you aren't going more than 2 years.

Not sure he is moving west for that

 

[The yak]

$250k.Took a paycut to come here.

$250k there was a story about him taking unders to come here

The Warriors management 100% owe us and should be very easy to work with going forward

Definitely not, I think as Rooster said if he leaves the chooks he’ll go to rugby, if he goes to France or England for rugby he’ll get his big payday just like Radrada did
