Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Crap IX

[I bleed blue & gold]

I'm assuming this is what IBB&G was referring to the other day?

Wasnt me, 1 Eyed Tezza mentioned something the other day..

Apologies, yes 1 Eyed Tezza, my bad

 

[Parra Pride]

Seem to recall seeing something about Morgan, unsure if he's classified as a star?

If you've got a minimum of one game of first grade to your name, the media regards you as a star.

I would of taken the credit though lol

As Avenger said, dont forget how good Hoppa is

The story I hear is that RS wants 2 props and second rower for next year, and if we can sign a 5/8 as well, that would be handy, doesnt want to just sign players that get in the way of our own juniors

Something like 17 players off contract, and only 3 or 4 that will definitey come back, we can only hope that the team perform like the no names that RS took the minor premiership at the Sharks

According to this, we are also after Joel Thompson - theaustralian.com.au/sport/nrl/raiders-fight-to-keep-youth-poachers-at-bay/story-fnca0von-1226589022732

as much as I rate thompson's potential I don't think he's the type of player that would fit the family culture that Stuart is trying to build.

That's a strange comment to make, you clearly don't know Joel, he's actually a really nice guy who does a lot for the community, he would be an asset to any club.

No big deal. Warn him and move on simple. No player in our squad are repeat offenders or trouble makers so I can't see it being blown out of proportion. Maybe miss round 1 and that's it I'd say

 

[natheel]

Lets really piss the raiders off and pinch both Papalii and Thompson. I'd say Thompson is a back up plan

not saying he isn't a nice guy or doesn't do stuff to help people out. but even some of the nicest people have their faults and demons. if it was just looking at him as a player I'd want the club to sign him ASAP just like I did when he was in Toyota cup.

Well what's wrong with him then

 

[Sensai Cobra]

Isn't their bad blood between and Hayne and Joel Thompson?

I vaguely remember a commentator mentioning something about it during an eels Canberra.

 

[mickdo]

I think I've got you on a technicality. I said "if you include an MRI".

A general anesthetic can sometimes be required for an MRI ;-)

If you look at the current recruitment strategy, age is a big factor. Norrie is a decent player in a syst that is designed for 'role' players. He is also older than the players we are seemingly looking at.

Groat is a young prop at the Tigers. Has played first grade but is seemingly behind the like of Galloway, Bell, Murdoch-masila and Woods.

A well travelled and experenced prop is never a bad thing for a footy side. But if youth is what Stuart wants then power to him!

 

[Parra Pride]

A well travelled and experenced prop is never a bad thing for a footy side.

No, but a lack of skill is, and Norrie certainly brings that to the table.

Tolman would be a nice addition. Plenty of experience, yet still quite young.

Oh reall, please, do tell, what are his faults and demons?

Shall we compare them to say, Sandows?

fair enough. it's one of those things that some will say it's a bad thing and others will say who cares. and there are probably at least a few at parra with the same type of issues (should've probably said what i perceive as not fitting in to stuart's new culture).

ps. i'd hate for canberra to lose him. one of my peeves is when a club loses a good player they brought through their own systems.

At this stage f**k canberra I hope they lose more players. They're acting like they're the only club to lose juniors or players they nurture through.

 

[lingard]

Who is Groat? What about Tom Learoyd Lars? (sic)

Do we want to sign him if he's sick?
