New Signings- Take 2

[lolesi]

I like him. No nonsense defender

The more I see of Jazz tevaga the more I like.

jazz is quality. pretty injury prone though

 

[snout]

Nathan Peats.

Hmmm...

No contract for nek year.
The Tits will not sign him.

Was a dynamo at Eels and killed it at SOO about 4 - 5 years ago.

Shouldnt be judged on Gold coast form as most careers go there to die anyway.
Was often criticised for lack of attacking flair but no better defender in the ruck
Did 517 tackles one nite for the Blues.

Great pickup for 300K or less to play the middle 25 minutes and tighten it up before and after the break.

I see you've started drinking early

We should be chasing the fox and give him the fullback spot he wants, Melbourne can have a pick of anyone in the trade deal. Has been a solid for years and pretty injury free.

Yes!

The only player that I would be devastated to lose would be B. Brailey. BUT - Melbourne already have 3 great hookers, so that would be really unlikely...

It would be very disappointing to lose SJ, as he sets up most of our tries, but, again, they have Munster, who is better than SJ, so they probably wouldn't want him...

We could lose any of our back 5, even Tracey, Trindall, Chad, most of our forward pack... IF WE GOT THE FOXX...

Is this a joke? Has no one in the NRL learned anything about post-Melbourne players in supporting roles?? The Fox is a good to great winger with pace worth $500k, and that's if he's got good ball players inside of him and a dominant pack meaning he doesn't need to do too much work. When has he ball played at ALL, let alone convincingly?

Whoever signs him for overs aren't gonna reap much more than what they have. Katoa offers about as much on the right wing with a bit less pace, and even Kennedy with his fluctuating form has shown more as a ball playing fullback than Addo-Carr.

Hope we stick to smart signings and don't fall for this bullshit again, it's Moylan-esque

Everybody said Latrell Mitchell would fail at fullback, and he’s done very well.

But I see your point about the ball-playing side of things.

I guess we’ll see what happens if the Tigers sign him and play him at FB. I don’t think Douehi is a FB...

 

[Version IV]

Signing Addo Carr to play full back will be like Holmes pay him big money then hope.
Tigers apparently about to sign Tamou they are going to have to shed some players.
Mbye gets mentioned as being one they want to offload

Mbye is terrible and on HUGE money.

 

[snout]

Mbye is absolute reserve grade standard

 

[AJB1102]

lol yeah dunno about Holmes and Addo-Carr but gee that Mbye might be worth a look

f**k me dead

That was my first thought When they talked about him at fullback but after watching him play the last few months I think he has the hunger and passion to succeed, compared to what we have at the club in fullback choices and what’s around on the open market, has only gotten better in his career, injury free been around the best fullbacks his whole career, at worst he would be better than what we have but if successful could be one of the best. If we manage to move on Moylan then I think it’s worth the risk just on the kick returns and safety under the high ball alone.

 

[chewsta]

Addo Carr was a pretty bloody good fullback for us in the lower grades. I watched a fair bit of him and always thought he was a standout. I always thought he would make it if he could bulk up, he was built like a garden hose.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could swap Moylan for Addo-Carr - EVEN if Addo-Carr played wing!?!

Luke Pickerd was a fricken stand out at Fullback. All you need to do well in NYC is to be fast because there's a thousand gaps in defence to take advantage of.

My impressions of JAC in NYC was that he'd make a good winger some day.

He was, but wasn’t ever a ball player from what I remember.

Pickerd! He was a machine. Where did he go?
