Rumoured and Confirmed Signings Part2

[kiwipete]

No Sam only signed a one year deal last year and has a one year extension Could be a smokey for next year in FG IMO. Barring injury in his second game this year Vs Warriors he would have played a few more games I reckon.
Easily one of the best in NSW cup pack , big motor and can play big minutes, mistake free.

Coote released, signed with Cowboys for 3 years

Does this give us room for one more signing? Perhaps a centre?

Not sure there's any around though. We have juniors but 5 years ago we had 3 grades worth of quality and did nothing. So we need to hopoe this batch are more effective

That is so true. When I was at the Members function the other night I was talking to a club official and saying how awesome the sports facility sounds and how great it is that we have a clear path for the juniors. He said "the good thing is, Ivan knows all the junior players and watches and oversees their development. In the past, Matt Elliot did not care about the juniors. He was only interested in first grade. His view was that he was paid to win first grade games and if he needed players they could sign one."

I found this to be a startling revelation, but when you think about what happened during Elliot's reign, it all makes sense. We failed to develop most of our junior talent and didn't promote enough of them through the grades to give them a chance of making it in first grade.

We won't keep them all, but at least we might keep some of them.

 

[Big Mick]

Best of luck to Toby Evans if true.

 

[PinkPanther]

Haven't really seen much of Evans. How does he rank against our other young halves?

the best .He is back from injury so we will see how he goes.Scarlett shows promise in the few games prior to injury only time will tell how he goes once he returns

The f**k?

When we played the Tigers earlier in the season we smashed them, Brooks was easily the Tigers best and Evans easily the best on field. We could throw him into FG next season and he'd be better than Wallace in 5 games.

Of course he has. Too many players in front of him wont be a NSW Cup player for long

Yeah he's the best half we have in the club next years signings wont change that..

 

[Panther_Daz]

Apparently the club sees Tyrone May as the next big halves prospect. I wouldn't be suprised to see him fast tracked and do a full off season with First Grade at the end of next year.

 

[chrisD]

How old is Tyrone May?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Tyrone is 17.

 

[chrisD]

Going by the Cleary and Gus method of bringing in juniors he should be ready by about 2018.

Are you sure he will be ready then?? Seems too soon

So 2 solid (at worst) years in NYC is just ignored on the hope someone may be better in 4 years?

 

[chrisD]

So do we have more than 1 source that he's gone?
