Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[ACTPanthers]

Sounds like something someone who was overreacting would say.

You got me... You monster

 

[herbert henry1908]

Who is availabe? Broncs and cows were plum gigs both struggled in finding one. No Bellamy they lose their appeal especially his art of turning plodders good

Coaches will break contracts to be with that team. I could see Adam O’Brien being their target, only a one year overlap between his contract at Newcastle.

 

[herbert henry1908]

We don't. We aren't in a foreign city though we have very good pathways to produce talent with a core of the side locked away. Players know who the coach will be less of a gamble to come here

Man, you underestimate the Storm. They were successful before Bellamy went there, they’ve got rich, professional owners. They’ve got the best spine in the comp.

Bart Campbell, their majority owner has worked in sports management his whole life. He’s not just big in rugby league, he’s big in rugby Union as well.

Matt Tripp is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, successful private equity businessman.

Gerry Ryan is worth half a billion dollars, successful businessman, horse owner etc.

These guys are as professional as it gets it rugby league.


Do you really think owners like this will struggle to attract a good CEO and coach?!

A

There is a loud small core group who run around every single bloody off season like Henny Penny screaming at the top of their collective lungs ' The sky is falling'

I'm sorry if this sounds brutal but that is the unvarnished truth.

and then there is the group head buried in the sand .

The storm are a great organisation but I don’t think Bellamys importance can be underestimated. While there is no doubt the storm will attract another good coach I can’t see anyone matching Bellamys top eight finishes and gf appearances or his general ability to improve players. The storm are going to lose their two biggest leaders in the nrl team with bellyache and smith, that will be a huge loss when it happens.

the expectation will be huge for whoever replaces Bellyache & co - they will have the spine it seems to assist but its no guaranteed thing.

it also depends on the rest of the NRL clubs (us included) to get better to catch the level of success the roosters & storm have had in recent years

If you are a player you want to be coached by him. It is the only thing going for living in that shit hole. New coach won't have that nor can turn journeyman players around

how many of those guys would be an attraction for a player on the market.

You don't think Broncos have the same quality behind the scenes? Yet can't replace Bennett. What makes Storm different?

 

[Whino]

Panthers fans are negative.. you should know this by now. I said before and will keep saying. Rather be in our position than the storm. Brandon Smith is gone too

I'd rather be in the Storms position right now. They are the Premiers!

If Penrith had that kind of financial backing behind them I am sure it would make a huge difference.

Yep winners are grinners

Not really we would still have the same cap same amount of juniors .Its how we spend it is what separates Melbourne and us

Now yes but in 3-4 years who knows

Location badly hurts us as well

We have the advantage for country kids. Bris 2 will hurt them too

Cameron Smith will coach them in a few years, after jason ryles has a go, they wont have an issue, without belyache, just probably wont be top 4 every season, maybe top 8

Same things were said after Bennett left the Broncos.. yet here we are

Ok so?
Who gives a fk? Let them get a spoonful of wooden goodness, besides how did we derail this signings thread by praising storm and their magnificent cheating systems

Because I see them being worse off than us hence the panic here unfounded

 

[Black Magik]

I had a meeting with a Melbourne business owner who is a Storm sponsor.

They (the club) are very impressed with what the Panthers are doing. They think our club are heading in a good direction.
