Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Whino]

That might of even been behind the thinking too. Personally I see no backup 7 as more of a concern then letting a 3rd choice hooker go. Hopefully we get O'Sullivan or someone in that spot

Since Gould's gone the club has been in their eyes prueening the club of players they don't see value in and looking at areas we need impovement in. E.g an experienced number nine in Koroisau.
What happens the next month or 2 will be interesting to see if they recruit in the other areas we are short in. Centre, back up half and a mongrel prop.

400k paid by Panther I was told by someone inside club from the club. Reckons was on over 900k. I took it as per season.
Eels wouldn't be paying him 900k that is certain. Not new management.

No way RCG is on $900k a year.

Warriors gave him 3yrs. This says to me they see talent. B.Smith also has a great eye. I will back this kid to kick on based on that.

Tough ask to shine under Kearney.

Sorry but Smith is useless

Smith and Kearney a match made no where near heaven.

Very good at building a side. Smart to cut Sean Johnson. 2021 will be a huge force I think. Time will tell.

Agree... Maybe 700 and Panthers chipping in 150k for 3 yrs? Seems more realistic.

Like I said before the positions of those we let go makes it seem like good business. How we replace them will decide that for me

I think that is fairer. Blade's mail has been pretty good this year.

I disagree. Smith is not a clever recruiter. He makes a huge amount of bad judgements.

Agreed.

 

[martielang]

Can’t see the thinking behind letting both Egan & Katoa go. We seem to have a very short memory as a club, latch onto the next shiny thing very quickly.

that 150 k will help pay for his massages !

Agree
Any player needs a min of 20 full games to just get up to speed of NRL.
Untill about 40 or 50 games they dont flourish.

Wade had his chance We carried a shit hooker all year dumb mistakes Wade a little better but in reality just didnt grab it I hope he kicks on but we needed a whole new approach from the ruck !

 

[Sime_11]

I think some of us need to go back to the threads at the start of the year and read comments about our starting hookers who have now moved on. Kenny was such a breath of fresh air in that Parramatta game at Bankwest.

It’s frustrating with the continued squad turnover, but Api and Kenny will show a lot more promise than Katoa or Egan did.

Will we win a comp under api/Kenny- highly doubt it, but I’m confident we’ll show more threat than we did at the start of 2019.

Don’t agree. We had a 7 & 6 on circa $2m combined, who got the ball whenever they wanted & they created nothing. The dumb mistakes came from trying to create something when the players that should’ve weren’t.

Thanks. Very much my thinking.
