Rumoured Targets 3

[Woody90]

I’m happy we’re doing a clean out but worried we will probably f**k it up and keep the wrong players.

 

[Old dog]

No doubt some of contract will remain and some will go, don’t see all at once

I predict no one will be re-signed between now and September, then whoever gets offer elsewhere will go and then we’ll feel sorry for the left overs and end up extending them

 

[slotmachine]

Friz in current form needs to be extended, Fitz too as we have zero edge depth and he would be cheap.

Other than that they can all walk.

 

[Woody90]

What I hope we do: re-sign Frizell (2 year contract), Fitzgibbon + maybe Hunt and Jack Johns on reduced contracts (but priority should be signing upgrades on both).
Punt: Mann, Tuala, Jones, Clune.

What I think we will do: re-sign all of them making Mann and Brodie Jones the priorities.

 

[slotmachine]

Yeah 2 years at 500k per is a fair deal for friz I reckon

 

[Woody90]

Yeah I’d also offer him captaincy with view to bring Hastings in as a co-captain once he’s settled in more.

I feel bad for Brailey but he’s never on the field and we need to build away from him, and Ponga as captain doesn’t suit him or the side.

Gags has been playing well and he’s our longest serving player but tbh he doesn’t speak any better than Ponga does.

We need a goal kicking hooker. Doesn't have to be spectacular just NRL standard. Anyone have idea where we can find one?

 

[mozza91]

Going after Smoothy would make too much sense. We’ll probably just try and turn Brodie Jones into a dummy half or something equally stupid.

He'll probably move Miller there so Ponga can go back to FB

Geez I liked the Smoothy highlights.

I'm kind of disappointed we haven't made moves already.

Although I wonder if the club is stubborn and doesn't want to get a hooker because it might make their Randall trade in the off-season look "dumb".

Just get a real hooker here. I'd even consider trading Dom Young for remainder of the year if it comes to that!

Smoothy rocking that Mark Riddell physique. How many minutes of first grade NRL do you reckon he'd actually get through?

I mean we're in deep enough shit that it's worth a shot. Looks like a bloke who'll be gassed after 15 minutes though. Maybe after an NRL off season or two he'd go alright.

Reckon he will better handle the same 15 Crossland can do.

 

[Loose Cannon]

A goal kicking, field goal kicking, dummy half kicking hooker. Wouldn’t think he’d fit into O’Brien’s game plan of useless utility 9’s.

96% Tackle efficiency so far this year.

There is no precedent to support this theory. Ohhh!

Withdrawn.

Are you talking about Randall? We know he can tackle. That's just about all he's good at... Oh, and training.

He’s an 80 minute hooker in Qld cup and generally makes around 40 tackles per game. Those highlights are from last year and he’s since done an NRL off season at the broncos. For what it’s worth Smoothy isn’t a local park footballer who’s miles away from NRL he Randall was at the same age, he captained Qld at under 18 level, he was with the panthers in 2020 but was behind Api Koroisau and never got the chance to work his way into the team due to no lower grades that year, he made his NRL debut in 2021 with the storm but was behind Harry Grant and Brandon Smith and wasn’t taken into the bubble.

 

[Yosh]

What the damn hell? He looks perfect!! Are we actually looking at him? I sure hope so!!

Yeah, fair enough. He looks the goods at QLD Cup level. We need a hooker and he's been thereabouts. Sign him up.
