Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and More Crap V

[Habitual Linestepper]

I think I heard or read somewhere that Lewis Brown is off to the panthers

That's what i'm saying. Both players were on the market and considering our second row is about to lose alot of experience and is soft as shit i'm surprised we weren't in for them. (We might of been though who knows.)

Fwiw, Anasta is off to the Tigers.

My mail from a reliable postman yday was Cronk is staying at Storm. We'll see one way or another if the mail is reliable tomorrow!! #nrl

No one can replace Hindy, as far as signing a backrower I really don't think our backrow would look that bad if it was:

11. Paulo
12. Williams
13. Maitua

Which signing hit the papers in the last few days?

 

[Parra Pride]

T-Rex.

Im only going to assume he is talking about a rumoured signing that recently hit the papers...which can only be t-rex me thinks.....

 

[Parra Pride]

If I was SK (and assuming we do sign T-Rex) after that, I wouldn't sign anyone else, I would take every cent of cap space we had left, I would then get as many third party deals as humanly possible and offer Hayne a contract he couldn't refuse.

Definitely not.

This would be pretty decent too.

11. Brown
12. Anasta
13. Maitua

Paulo on the bench.

Exactly PP. Williams and then Hayne. Then whatever is left can go for other signings if available.

 

[Gronk]

Anasta signs 2 year deal with W/Tigers

To cover Gareth Ellis who is going back to UK on an early release no doubt.

 

[TheRam]

Hasn't Marshall already been tried at 7 and failed badly? Also Anasta is not a consistantly good 5/8th, he is a ball playing lock and always will be.

#WeNeedToMakeHayneAnEelForLife

Hindy, Burt, Smith, Shack, Poore will free up about $1.5M.
So then we offer T-Rex $400K and increase Hayne by the remaining $1.1M. Sounds like an offer Hayne couldn't refuse.

Williams and making Hayne an Eel for life should take priority, after that is sorted all we would need is a competent Hooker, if everything goes our way a starting 13 in 2013-14 that looks like this:

1. Hayne
2. Sio
3. Tonga/Hopoate in 2014
4. Loko/Hopoate in 2014 if Tonga is still with us
5. Blair

6. Roberts
7. Sandow

8. Mannah
9. Keating/A competent hooker
10. Allgood
11. Paulo
12. Williams
13. Maitua

Would be quite good.

[Hollywood Jesus]

Segeyaro.

 

[Parra Pride]

Segeyaro would be great as a bench hooker to come on after 25 odd minutes, if SK used him how he uses McGuire however he would be wasted.

What if T-Rex wants 450k ? Can you see Hayne settling for only $1.05M ?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

What if T-Rex wants 450k ? Can you see Hayne settling for only $1.05M ?

But the $1.05 is on top of whatever he is already on.

Anyway I hope we buy 3 or 4 good players.

Read in the paper this morning that apparently Inu wants to come back to Aus and play for either us or bulldogs (to be near family).

would you take him back?

i would get him back straight away (obviously only if cheap). And sign till the end of next year.

Full strength team for this year could look like this: (with Loko out for season)

1. hayne
2. Sio
3. W.Tonga
4. E.Tonga
5. Inu

I would play inu as a edge back rower. He is tough and still has good footwork

Don't forget Williams can't replace four blokes by himself - we would need to sign four kids out of the academy to fill out the depth spots in the squad. That's another $200k, so we could only realistically offer Hayne $850k and let's face it, that's not really a lot of money considering he'll be expected to work weekends.

He probably eats the same as 4 blokes
