Rumoured Targets 3

[Yosh]

Half the clubs in the NRL are taking a look at Pearce... Are we lucky to have him?

 

[Alex28]

Outside Back - Curtis Scott if she shows he’s taking AA seriously?

in saying that, Newy might not be the best place for a reformed alcoholic…

We’ve seen how we go without him this year. He’s in the top halves in the comp. we need him next year with no obvious replacement.

Not now, not ever.

 

[Johns Magic]

Even with his head screwed on I don’t see the upside in Curtis Scott

 

[Old dog]

To big a risk, not better than Best and Gagai so no point

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Curtis Scott wouldn’t pass the character test imo. Seems to have gotten himself into a fair bit of trouble in the last few years.

Whilst I don't think Pearce brings great halfback attributes he most certainly brings on field leadership, a tonne of experience and effort upon effort. In terms of halfbacks there's clearly a top tier with guys like Cleary, Hughes and DCE with Reynolds just below them, after that you have guys like Pearce, Moses, Hunt, walker and maybe Burton. The value in those middle tier guys is huge because there's a massive gulf between them and the next tier of guys.

Getting Pearce for 600k next year is a great deal when Chad Townsend is on 800k

Fair to say my idea didn’t age well overnight…

How about Adam Elliot?

Cowboys are legitimately bad with their cap aren't they. I mean really bad.

I'm actually curious how they fit Townsend, Dearden and Drinkwater in the team, Townsend signed for big money, I believe Dearden didn't come cheap either and Drinkwater re-signed at a time when his value was probably at its peak

They're shot for years. Holmes and Lolo on $1m a season, Holmes stinks and the coach has no idea how to use lolo

 

[Burwood]

I get the feeling he knows how to use JT, but is too scared to. It’s the problem with long term contracts- there’s no way a coach can flog a player like JT week after week and not be worried about them burning out. He’s trying to get 10 years of value out of him, not 2-3.

As for Holmes, poor guy thinks he’s a fullback when he’s really a glorified winger. Probably one of the most dangerous signings to make as a club value wise.

Or he thinks a 10 year 1 million dollar contract is a terrible idea at the back end, and is hoping JT chooses to look elsewhere.

Wouldn't mind if he looked here.

 

[Old dog]

Think they might regret the 10x$1m in the next year or two, games changing and what was good a few years ago is now different

 

[PhilGould]

Taumalolo at his peak is/was a genetic freak that would thrive in any era or rules. Haven't paid enough attention this year to know whether it's a coaching/motivation issue or if he's just past his best. Concerning either way for the Cows.

 

[Burwood]

He’ll kill it this week in the front row. He’ll run 150m+ in the first half alone.

 

[Yosh]

JT doesn't seem to care anymore. Don't really see a huge difference between him and TPJ atm. Maybe change of scenery is needed?
