Rumoured & Confirmed Signings (2025 Season)

[Bred not Bought]

He looks OK in limited minutes I saw. Worth persisting with. Is he rated?

Worth a run over Origin. Ran a good line. Tried when he was on.
From memory he was rated highly in Sg Ball.

If we had absolutely nobody else, then that's fine. But we have other options. I don't want to lose Cole just because the coaching staff have a thing for Schneider.

BS was always getting picked though. He's not Nathan Cleary or even Luke Walsh but he's done an adequate job when he's been given the gig over the last couple of seasons. When we went away from him earlier this year, we looked a rabble and Souths did a job on us.

@betcats settle petal.

 

[Panfa]

With teams desperate for halves and a new franchise coming in.Either we use cole or we lose cole.

I respect your love for the plod martie, but adequate does not describe the vast majority of what BS does. He tries hard is about the best you can say for him.

We didnt look a rabble with Cole/Talagi. We almost reeled in Melbourne with that pairing and then never gave it another chance. Imo we win the Souths game with that pairing. I'd even have backed us to reel in the 28 point deficit, as Souths were basically sleepwalking in the second half.

I do agree with the point you made earlier about the top 25% of our cap being more important than the bottom 25%. But we have to ride or die with Cleary, Yeo, Edwards etc. We have better backups than Schneider in our squad and picking him is costing us points.

To be fair that Melbourne game is the only one where the whole team had a crack

I don’t mind you coming on here and talking about the Panthers but don’t bring that Parramatta crap here.

Mate he’s only here because we have Hindy’s son signed for the next few years

I'd love to see Buster go well but from what I've heard he isn't that great a prospect. Mind you our management said similar about Galvin and Moses.

How'd Jesse go last week btw?
Do people think he is a future star or just an NRL player.

Pretty poor. He's not going to be a star, and might not even be NRL quality.

If the new coach is Mal I hope for Cole's sake he's good at developing on his own or there's a gun assistant coaches because Mal isn't good for anything bar motivational speeches. Any player leaving to be coached by Mal should consider that.

Mcclean? Of course he's going to a star. His agility and speed off the mark for his size is freakish. Defending at centre is just really hard, he's still young and improving, he'll be fine.

McClean reminds me a lot of Critta in terms of size and how he moves. Remember that Critta had some moments too as a young player (was Waqa’s speed-bump one night) but was generally in a winning team and therefore under less pressure. When we have been on top McClean has looked really good.

Tge experienced back ups worked well when we were winning, no ones blaming them for our current situation but they do need to be victims of it. We just need to shift now, we are a development club, that’s our only real strength. We don’t have the buying power to match at least 5 of the bigger clubs, we are not an attractive location compared to many other clubs, if we’re not developing players consistently we are in trouble. This team can be good again next year but it wont happen without a freshen up, the young guys need exp before they can play at that level, let them get it now. The Daines and brads have served their purpose. When the nrl teams at full strength the cup side is 90 percent guys who will never be consistent nrl players.

The only really delusional part about Schneider is the belief that SOS or Cogger are noticeably better, they just played in much better sides while here

We could have any one of the 3 and id be saying its time to go for them, Cole and Lamont can be the back up halves, they are good enough to be playing that role for us now.
