New recruits for 2023

[R&WTILLIDIE]

We are still getting rejects - Liddle and Musgrove - great hey?!

Rejects from the team that came dead last…there’s rejects…and then there’s a whole new level of rejects

Rejects from the Wooden Spooners equals 23 game certainties in our NRL team along with Woodsy & Mbye.
We are the new recycled waste centre for the West Tigers!

 

[jeffdragon]

Wests Dragons.
We are already ill disciplined and mistake ridden.
They only made 1000 breaks through the middle of the tigers defence last season where Zane was defending.

I know most of us are disappointed because we are all expecting a Leniu or Klemmer but if you treat the Musgrove signing as a swap with Burgess it’s actually a slight upgrade. Hoping these bottom of the barrel signings are to compensate for a bigger signing the club has in the works. Just trying to look for the positives.

 

[VodkaSaint]

91 percent tackle Efficiency cant be that bad

C'mon mate . . . show our rejects a bit more respect than that !!
But seriously, I think Wiz's thread holds a fair amount of truth.
The only constant is that both our teams are shit.
Enjoy your off season, tight lines.

 

[BLM01]

So now we're hiring rejects from the wooden spooners?

Yep Now 2 infact. Actually it is the only 2 thus far.

This is exactly right, just a straight in (like for like ) replacement for Burgess. Other signings to come, and there hasn't been any confirmation of the Lui-Toso signing as yet.

Me thinks some are still playing in the RLWC.

 

[Trifili13]

An all ex-Tigpies front row of Woods, Musgrove and Liddle, with Mbye feeding the scrum. Has any betting agency put up odds of how many scrums we will lose against the feed next year?

Apparently the clincher for Musgrove was the free food and drink on offer at end of season shin dig. It was down to us and Sharks but at Sharks you gotta pay for your drinks.
We got our man!

Finally someone gets club culture! Give that man a 2 year extension! Announce it next Friday!

 

[Saints Forever]

Burgess offered absolutely nothing in 2022.

Musgrave strengthens the KOE side. Fringe NRL player. No harm done with this signing.

Musgrave will be in the top 17

If he lobs up at prezo night he can eat his and the other 26 blokes that “couldn’t” attend.

I agree that Burgess offered little last season due to a lack of football and recovering from a major operation which made him very tentative. I was hoping he would be Ok but alas, not so.

Musgrove will be in the top 17 as will Liddle. Both will be in their rightful positions. Hunt to be the half and will not be used as the hooker at all as we have Macca, Mbye, Sullivan (who I think will stay) as back ups. Why put Hunt in at 9 when we have all of those as he is the specialist half? Sullivan can be used in the half position if Hunt is injured etc.

We still need a couple more forwards (prop and second row).

Lot knocking Musgrove from spooner but possa is a big signing for Redcliffe played reggies for us

 

[Maddragon99]

Musgrove to be announced later today..
Burgeii out the door
Whooppeee

So Musgrove is a swap for Georgie Boy so we are still at least 3 players short of a top 30 plus additional development players.

I’m not sure what Treigh Stewart’s current status is but I’d like to see him brought up, he could potentially be better than both Ramsey & Sloan.

Great attack no defence, will need a lot of work to be NRL standard

Small & cant tackle. May turn out to be a Ben Barber type but I doubt it.
