The Rumours Thread

[Murfy]

I’d love if we went hard for Jayden Campbell to play halfback. Guy is a freak. Equally as good at 6 or 1. Could even more to fullback after gutho if reed comes through

Williams

Williams is nowhere near ready for 1st grade next year.

Joey's $900k reality to 'desperate' clubs in Pezet chase​

MSN

How good is it to be known as the desperate club.
Pezet not worth anything like $900k. He won’t be leaving anyway

All rookie outside backs have defensive issues…

Both Finau and Tamale will fix their defence at the Raiders

Maybe Dean Young will transfer to Canberra!

If hes the fullback theyre trying to move on (i.e. they retain AJ&Kini), he would be so good for us.. worth 900k or whatever it takes.. move gutho into wherever.. you will find a spot for him.. dunno if were any chance though.

Imagine being a club with 3 legendary fullback or 5/8 choices.. stacked with quality middles, even their wingers their looking to on r electric.. im so jealous of their roster.. their scraps would make us a Top8 side.

But anyway not that enthused on Chevy Stewart tbh, could easily be another Sloan.. would much rather invest in someone whos proven themselves at first grade level.. I dont want another risky 'maybe' at fullback (if we have another choice).

He is quick but also quite small

I'm not really worried about the money. We are way under spent this season and usually are each season because we haven't found the time/money to hire a recruitment manager.

Unlike most here, i‘d prefer to keep Sloan over Finau, though at less than current price

He did absolutely nothing in the first half, he barely touched the ball all game.
the only thing I recall him doing was trying to grab the ball on the last tackle play defending and gave away six again. I think the kid has had more than enough chances.

At least play him on the left where 90% of our attack goes. When we go right it stops at Suli.

If that were true Slone wouldn't be our leading try scorer.

He’s our leading scorer because nobody else has the speed to capitalise on 1/2 breaks. I’d just like to see him & Allen swap because we go left 80% of the time.He should have another 8/10 tries by now if Suli could/would pass. There two last night that went begging which Suli even apologised for at the time.

Not at 500k are you kidding me

Finau has Sloane's pace with a tonne more effort...

A month ago I put his last 10 games meters earned per game. He was lucky to crack 100m per game! And again last night didn’t do any dirty work.
everyone faults Suli and yes he could get that last pass across to the wingers but he does take the hard hit ups

5 runs for 40 metre though? What about helping to make metres from the back..
The only thing he likely caught last night was a cold…

 

[Reddragon]

With his speed, he should be looking at old Blacklock videos about coming infield more often to sniff chances.

Really?

That’s one aspect I’ve felt for a while. We often play back inside and you look at what Tedesco, Papenhausen or Weeks can do with pure speed. Sloan should be much more involved for mine. Of course Flanno may have told him to stay on his wing, I don’t know. Gutho doesn’t have the speed when he comes in to make the extra man, I think Sloan could be deadly in those situations. I think the kid is a freak and really a full back but his defence and organisation just hasn’t developed to any consistent level

I was surprised they rarely kicked to his wing.
