Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[TheEroticGamer]

The negative press is purely coming from gimps.

If Penrith can finish just one win behind first with injuries, constant spine disruptions and a publicly moaning sacked coach who's specialty was telling players to run hard, then they're going to be challenging for the premiership the next year.

Simple.

Kasiano is being shopped around with Melbourne willing to pay freight.
I feel the last 2 years he has shed too much weight in a bid to play more minutes. He is better as chunky impact runner off the bench. If you could get his weight right I think he could be of value to some club.

 

[age.s]

Melbourne have historically been fantastic at getting the absolute best out of every player in their setup. That they're so eager to get rid of him they're willing to pay part of his wage is a real red flag.

That said he was one of the game's most damaging forwards not that long ago. Any time you have another club willing to put in for the salary of a player with that kind of potential you have to seriously look at it.

Didn't he play in the 2014 GF?

Storm paying some is always good. You will get worst depth forwards. Even if only for a season

Sign him for the length that Storm are chipping in and let him go after that. Ruthless but effective.

Yeh I think Kasiano would be a good pick up as well. Would be a great bench option.

At the Dogs he was extremely dangerous late in games with his ability to offload. Something we could use.

 

[umina panther]

One of those rare players who play better fat and with the interchange lower now the game has passed him by

Yep we need to start getting ruthless with this sort of stuff

I don't think Gould has a problem getting ruthless with contracts...Griffin, Merrin, Cartwright, Latu, Segeyaro, Soward, Hiku, Ivan Cleary etc

 

[Matthew Ellis]

The remember most Dogs fans hated how he was only on the field for about 15-20 minutes.

Many some of those cases the player needed to be told they have a contract and that they will be seeing it out

Storm are still working on resigning Smith, and I am sure he wants all their money.
They have a few props that would go ok for us, kasiano, Vete, Welch or even Kamikamica but Kasianos is the most obvious release.
If they get really desperate we could help them out by taking bromitch or even better Nelson.

Given most of our blokes can play 80, I think it’s worth having someone on the bench who has impact but can only play 20 - 30 mins max.

Were he any more ruthless, he'd be toothless.

Gould was extremely ruthless paying Bryce Cartwright $500k+ per season and granting him a release the second he asked.

He is one. Like a few others that were punted that a stint in NSW Cup might fix. We over pay the kids then release them the instant they feel sad
