I’m on my own here but halfback isn’t the make or break key to a team. Yes they are important but not worth breaking the bank on anyone that isn’t the top 2-3 halfs in their prime. It’s not as complicated a position as many make out it to be, kick, pass and tackle 75% of try’s scored don’t involve the half. Big % of conceded try going through the half. Scout a solid defensive half who can kick and spend the money on your forwards, hooker, fullback they are the key imo no halfback wins you a game without those performing. We won a premiership without a halfback. It’s not all doom or gloom missing an over priced player past his peak.

Hol up... we just offered 800k or whatevs to that little jerk but we need to bring out the scratch pad to fit in Hynes?

There’s money but it is being spread across different targets now. I doubt we are offering anyone 800k straight up

Well said, and it's why I never minded having Chad as our halfback IF the other pieces are there.

2016 is an example of that. The other pieces were there. Chad just followed the game plan.

The club clearly wanted Reynolds but they weren't going to break the bank on him so that says alot to me. There's a few missing pieces to this team before we're a top 4 team.

I think we'll see some players start shaking out of the trees so to speak. It's only mid May - alot of Rds left and there's the off season too.

This is the key. Smart signings that strengthen the squad and move it towards the goal of challenging for top 4.

Panic signings won't help

Ok makes sense. Hope some of these targets start signing away

Good, never wanted him.

People will shoot me down for this, but I wouldn’t be against Luke Brooks at the right price - reckon the Tigers would lump in to get rid. I think a change of scenery could get him back firing.
You’d then need a running half - not many on the market. Moyza could have a lifeline, but would take Milford over Moyza if it was for a similar salary, which would have to be less than £500k.

sorry chimp, but suggesting brooks should be a 30 day forum suspension

 

[roboshark]

Waits for him to score 4 tries and kick 10 goals on Saturday just as a final f**k u

The problem is, you do need a good half (whether it's a 5/8 or 1/2). You can have all the forwards in the world to get you down the field, but without a good half, you won't be converting into points. Look at the Bulldogs on the weekend - plenty of opportunity, but they don't have a good half to finish them.

Sharks got by in 2016 because they had a strong hooker, fullback, and a dominant half (Maloney) behind a forward pack that played beyond their contract value. Currently, we have an average fullback, hooker with potential that's slipping away, no halves, and a overpaid forward pack.

We can discuss third party deals, etc. for why Reynolds chose the Broncos - but their pack is much better than the Sharks'. The also have some strong outside backs, compared to the Sharks who need to play Connor Tracey on the wing.

The more I see of him the more I dislike him. His latest insta post says to me he’s heart will never be in it for the broncos, he’ll turn up and win them a couple of games here and there but I think more importantly for him he’ll just be happy to collect his retirement pay cheques before he moves back to Redfern.

Dogs don’t have a hooker, forwards or a fullback but agree on Maloney was more of a running in your face 5/8 than a Typical halfback tho. You do need player that can create chances just don’t think in needs to be a Typical 1/2

100% Bellamy has made a habit out of manufacturing 1/2 that do a job.

 

[jason taylor]

I’d be looking at Aidan Sezer. Apparently wants to come back to Australia. Has a great kicking game and is a handy goal kicker. Surely wouldn’t be expensive either.

Might as well have stuck with Chad.

What about (G)Ash Taylor? Unwanted I think

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Milford brooks sezer. I'll throw in matt frawley then if we're naming guns to be recruited.
