Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

Meh

Odd move going to the Broncs. Reynolds is going to play, so you only have one and five eight available in the spine. Mann seems like the obvious choice at 6, but they also have Cobbo and Walsh battling out for a single spot at full-back; given how good both of them are, can definitely seem Walsh going to the halves at some point.

Maybe he is relying on Reynolds getting injured more regularly that Cleary is out form injury and rep games? But if this year is anything to go by, filling in for Cleary puts you in the shop window as you walk into a much more structured team.

Reynolds is getting old. They'll need a new halfback in about 2 years. That's the incentive.

Knights are trying to offload Clifford.. Be a perfect half to slot in for a year or two.

Too dear..

 

[GowersDallyM]

Too dear..

I think Knights are trying hard to let him go...maybe hard enough for a player swap or they might chip in

 

[Fangs]

A true crossroads player. Clifford is 24 years old and has played 60 odd games. He can be a pretty good kicker at times but he has put in some diabolical performances this year.

 

[Sime_11]

Clifford is worth the punt on his kicking game alone - put him in our system and he'll be very handy come origin time

 

[age.s]

Clifford would be an amazing understudy for the right price. I feel like Clune is more likely to be in our budget though.

 

[Smug Panther]

Clifford is good enough to play regular first grade. No reason he'd come here at his age

 

[Coast panther]

Brandon wakeham would be my pick

Falls to HB just for continuity but Wakeham as the ideal, realistic choice if we have to go market.

 

[Black Panther]

Wakeham is a cracking player. Never really got much of a go at the Dogs but can play..

Good for a brain fart or 3 per game,

 

[Kilkenny]

Can’t see why we wouldn‘t just keep Kurt Falls as one of the back ups along with the kids from the juniors including Jack Cole. Any of the minimum wage options are no better than what we have and we don’t have the funds to recruit anyone on more money who is going to be back up anyway.

 

[Big Mick]

We only need a half option if Falls moves on.

5/8 I'm confident we have enough coverage with Cole/Puru.

Ideal first option is probably Falls - but should he sign somewhere else - then need an option - which is why we were after Madden.

The kid can play though. A lot of young kids have those moments in them.

 

[Black Panther]

What is the deal with Falls? He was rumoured to be going to the Sharks and other clubs were interested too. Not sure if he has resigned with us.

I assume Kurt Falls is probably staying with us the Sharks rumour appeared to come to nothing.

Laui is not guaranteed his SOO position for 2023 after a losing series, not blaming him by any means but he is going to be under pressure to retain his spot.

Sharks have too much depth in the halves for that to make sense for him.

 

[martielang]

Dajearn Asi would be a decent pick up IMO. Not that I've watched him very closely but the couple of times I've seen him in passing he's looked to have some potential.
