The SL guys won't break their contracts. So it remains Atkinson, Douehi, Ilias.

This management, FMD. Sit down on Wednesday to discuss!!! WTF. This should have been done as soon as they decided ( or before ) to cut sooky bum Benny free. This mob move slower than a bloody snail, no wonder we miss out most times.

Cronulla went bang Trindall, bang Nikora. Wait till Wednesday to chit chat and Atkinson will be tied up too. FMD

Agree wholeheartedly piss poor

God I hope so … those quotes were worrying - wtf would the board know about a good half?

My understanding we are having normal recruitment and retention meetings regularly and halves are being discussed but our big ticket targets have been identified and agreed upon ages ago.

 

[Victoire]

A Superleague halfback we might have success targeting is Lachlan Lam. He's in town this week to play against the Kiwis for PNG - he's been playing extremely well this tourament albeit against poor opposition. This weekend will be a much more realistic test. However I think he's a likely choice because even though he's under contract for 2025, he's likely to be released to fulfil his NRL ambition because his father is the coach. Also, Shane Flanagan was the PNG assistant during the last World Cup, so he'd have worked with Lam before. I think he's a better choice than all but Atkinson, personally

Mary could have had a little Lam.

Could we entice both Lachlan & get his dad an assistant coaching role? Lachlan would be a better option than a Douehi imo. The only issue with Douehi is his injury history, if it's a 1+1(club option) deal for Douehi that would be a good low risk/high return play.

We'd not have released the news if Flanno thinks this, so he must have been able to talk em around.

 

[Number of the Beath]

I have not seen where the Gutherson announcement has been announced?, when did it happen?

I think the announcing of the announcement will be announced at a date that is yet to be... um... announcipated?!

 

[baggygreen man]

Croft still 27 was '22 SL Man of Steel. He combines speedy hole running, clever short kicks and ball skills. I like his ability to read the play and know when there is someone looming to put into a gap. Not had anyone like that since Gareth Widdop.

 

[Wolfgang90]

Pretty much. I feel like it was the same last year, with the expected November signing spree becoming a summer-long trickle. Here was the recruitment timeline (not including the Fonua-Blake and Dearden failures)

Tom Eisenhuth - Nov 17
Corey Allan - Dec 12
Ronald Volkman - Dec 22
Jesse Marschke - Jan 18
Ray Faitala-Mariner - Jan 29
Luc Leilua - Feb 21

Hopefully all our signings are done before xmas. Don't want anyone to have a late pre-season start.

Lam and Atkinson would work for me...

Their Crownies are always half full.

 

[mattw5]

We sure like to drag on a signing surely Gutho has had a medical by now.

 

[Slippery Morris]

He probably has but it is probably not good enough to jump the gun and sign him up. I think the Volkman case may have taught the Dragons a lesson or 2. If the medical is shady then good on Saints for taking their time.
