Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[franklin2323]

What about bringing Adam Keighran back. Has another 1 year with Warriors but apparently will be released if he can get a deal elsewhere. Has been playing in halves for Warriors but mainly used in centres in his 1 year with us. Handy footballer could be decent back up and still only 22. Would be cheap back up signing.

and can play Centre too. That is the sort of player we need. We can't sign elite players so lets strengthen the whole squad

 

[Kilkenny]

Do you want to pay 750 - 800K for a prop?

If you believe the figures in the press we did and his name is Reagan Campbell Gillard.

Took the words right out of my mouth

 

[OldPanther]

All comes to output for me. Mins and workrate

Well Arrow is a top 5 prop.

 

[Roosters rule]

That matches in what I found out and posted Tuesday morning.

Don't believe the rubbish the media is portraying about a last minute offer from Penrith or a increased offer.
They got it wrong and are back peddling.

 

[Vicpanther]

I read that we offered less than what the dogs offered. If that's true it's a good sign

 

[herbert henry1908]

If they're worth it yes. Arrow certainly is.

Arrow is more of a lock than a prop. I couldn’t pay a prop $800k, they don’t play enough minutes. But a lock like Arrow who has an offload then you’re talking 800k.

 

[Dave's mate]

Excellent player but not where we need to spend that kind of cash

 

[Vicpanther]

We'd be stupid not targeting arrow

 

[TheFrog]

Api can play in the halves too, which might come in handy.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Finally a signing we can all be happy about.
Provided he remains fit and Ivan uses him correctly he should be a good acquisition.

Korosiau looks to be off to the Dogs. One of the things I never understand about those who handwave away the shitty way we handled taking Cleary back from the Tigers with "Who cares if other fans hate us?" is that they seem to forget that players also pay attention to shit like that, and it will definitely have an effect on our recruitment, even if it means having to pay a bit more to convince someone to come here.

Just call me Nostradamus.

I neglected the siren call of re-signing our previous discards (Cleary, Barrett, Grant, MWZ....)

 

[tripster]

Stoked. Terrific signing.

I guess Katoa is now going to have to watch a lot more Panther’s games at your house now.

 

[Panfa]

Arrow scott rapana

A little unfair to include low key, minimum cost/depth signings in Grant and MWZ. They did what they were required to do in 2019.

MWZ has actually been very good in CC. Not saying he was ever quite NRL standard but is still a useful low key depth player.

That is right. Sometimes with injury or you are waiting for certain players to develop you need a few low key players to come in and play 5, 10, or 15 matches.

I think we have a top 17 that could be very competitive with good coaching (improved structure, discipline and consistency of application). If we don’t get that then don’t worry either way. There’s a decent amount of competition. Would definitely love to upgrade one more position if we can flip Reggie and free up $500K odd. Arrow would be nice but I don’t think it’s the right move with a guy of Blore’s immense talent coming through. Outside of Scott/Welch/Fifita I’m sure there’ll be guys that pop up in the off season merry go round. Then some experienced depth would be fine.

 

[forby]

Apparently Parramatta is looking to sign Katoa!

 

[MugaB]

Gould didn't let Graham go.

Graham went to the sharks, when Matthew Elliott was coach, and only left coz he wanted to play 1st grade, coz he was stuck behind travis burns, at the time, cowboys had wanted to have him play 5/8th with thurston, but he opted to go to the sharks instead.

 

[MugaB]

I agree. With George Williams going to Canberra I would target Sezar or Williams as backups should we need it

Now way on sezar, way too inconsistent, wade graham or bust for me, we need a captain
