2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

[Ghostrider22]

With all due respect @ Forster Dragon, there was little Millward could do in this instance.....damage was already done........same as Leilua and others...

Players will go where they can progress their career...simple fact...and also hornby and J.D have close links with host.

Griffin is up against it...McGregor wanted norman and who in their right mind would take him off us...

It will take years to undo the damage...

Aim your anger at The Board...they facilitated this entire mess for 8 years....they should all walk.

Have a good day.

Your not wrong Getsmarty

Ford has shown me zero to get excited about. Loves a good jersey grab too like under 12’s footy. I’d take Host over Ford everyday of the week

Ford is a young gun has been ruined by Mary. Don't worry, Griffin will sort him out.

Hope you’re right possm

Host confirmed.. leaving

 

[TruSaint]

3 gone..

3 gone..

That's a shame re Host and to a lesser extent, Sailor.

Host, with the right coaching could be a good back rower.

Sailor never got a decent chance to show his ability.

Joe showed his skill playing well for his country.

Good luck to all 3 in the future...

Wish them all the best.

 

[Gippsy]

Well, I hope we see some replacements announced shortly.

 

[True_Believer]

That being the case they should rest Lomax and play Feagai there but he’s too valuable it seems.

nope - easier to debut players on the wing.

Additionally, I’d say by watching the last couple of games that Lomaxs “injury” is nowhere near as bad as Ravs. That last game Rav played he was hobbling and struggling to get any speed up at all.

 

[st.phil]

Read somewhere on here rating Host over Ford...

Also someone saying he doubts Ramsey. Those kids with Sullivan are the future

 

[Eatons Hill Dragon]

One things for sure after today’s game.
Sullivan played extremely well first game.
Ran the ball well and made smart attacking decision.
Quick and elusive.
Corey Norman should never play first grade again for this mighty Club.
Sorry Corey.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Watching Christian Welch today I think he would be a great pick up. Is he out of the picture 100%?

Ofehegau, Welch and JDB will be huge improvement to the forwards.

I posted this in another thread but we should be looking at Cooper Johns. He was impressive and has good advice on his shoulders from his father and uncle. He is off contract so lets get the deal done and invest in the future.

I don’t think we should be looking at halves when we already have some outstanding juniors of our own coming through the ranks. Last thing we need is more stop gap road blocks for our junior pathways to first grade. If he was a forward I wouldn’t have any issues with the signing as I am not seeing much coming through our ranks. We need to be looking at both experienced and promising forwards to boost our ranks. Sullivan, Fegai and Ramsay all looked good in first grade with Ramsay able to fill in at the back if required.

 

[boardlumps62]

That's a blow Host leaving. Just tell me who will be filling his boots. Now we need back rowers and props. Blacker will get there but like Kerr will be another year I think.

 

[epDragon62]

Apart from Blacker, surely we have some other young forwards along with the great backs coming through?

Surely?

I get what you mean but we dont have much depth in the halves. If Hunt doesn't perform at 7 next year who do we turn to? Sullivan is a good player but he's a better ball runner and is suited to 6. So who else can we get to steer us around at 7 should Hunt not perform?

 

[Dragonslayer]

Interesting that the only off-contract player not on he farewell list was Ellis.

Hasn't done enough to warrant a contract imo, however, there may be merit in keeping him on a low-end contract as a back-up forward.

Surely you can’t be serious.
And don’t call me Surely.

I think you are forgetting about our 7 today.
