Rumoured and Confirmed Signings

[age.s]

Runs the ball hard but absolute flippers for hands. Wish him the best though.

 

[Big Mick]

He had the chance to make his case and he simply didn't.

It wasn't just Ivan who didn't rate him, obviously Guy Missio and Garth Brennan didn't either because he wasn't starting for Windsor.

But best of luck to him. I'm sure he'll rediscover his form eventually down there.

Ivan gets who he wants in Windsor. The writing was on the wall at the Souths game. We played 0 props on the bench. He had 60 odd games would of came straight in. so Hardly a surprise

 

[chrisD]

Don't rate him, no problem with the call. Problem is I don't rate Anderson either.

 

[betcats]

Goodluck to Dayne. Not particularly fussed about losing him though.

 

[maple_69]

Can we use that money to frontload some contracts further assuming we don't bring in any mid season recruits?

 

[Panthers@Heart]

Silly we didn't keep Josh Mcrone

I am if it means we have Docker as Prop until Latimore/McKendry return we need size

I wouldn't think he would be on much besides should of done that with the 500k or so from Jennings.

We will probably promote Moylan or Docker to free up 2nd tier cap space

No its not, didn't rate him then, don't rate him now

 

[maple_69]

He might not have been on much but 100k in the kitty is handy.
I think we were right to let Mccrone go at the time. He's going reasonably now but I still think he'd struggle as Walsh does in our team.

So what you think the team needs ?

Yeah but we still need a 25man squad. Min wage is 80k. Minus what we paid him it's not much.

However say 100k goes to upgrade Docker or Moylan that clears up 1/3 of the secondary cap.

That's what I think is the plan. Another half Walsh would just go early & use his money.

Well, I think that we can forget about Carney.... Has all but put pen to paper with Cronulla for the rest of his career unfortunately;

Add Josh Dugan to the "Mission impossible" list as well;

It looks as if once again the "Quiet Mountain town struggling to attract marquee players" scenario has come back to haunt us again, regardless of how much cash we've got to splash around.:x

We are better off with Shaun Johnson or Sam Williams anyway!

 

[Big Mick]

We never wanted Josh Dugan.

Secondly, we offered Carney a competitive offer and he chose to stay loyal like many thought he would all along and I praise him for that.

TBH right now...I'd rather retain that money and try and develop Moylan into a halfback (he's played in the halves the majority of his juniors) and that way we can have Moss, DWZ and Moylan all on the field at the same time.

Josh Dugan a marquee player ?!


Surely you're having a laugh.

 

[Panthercam]

We will get Williams

 

[herbert henry1908]

I know we struggle a bit to attract top line talent , but if you look at the recent past not many top line players change clubs.

The last really big name to leave any club was inglis , and that was the salary cap. Maybe Boyd , but that was because he'd follow Bennett anywhere.

Before that it was petero and he came our way.



Carney
Cronk
Thurston
Brett Stewart
Foran
Farrah

Have all stayed loyal to their club.

Really big names just don't swap clubs that often.
