Rumoured Targets 3

[The Axe of Druss]

Dom is way to light on to be a back rower. The kid is tall but is too gangly for the forwards. He'd get monstered

 

[TooheysNew]

He's 3 kilograms lighter than Shaun Lane. That's one offseason of weights.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Titans are releasing Peachy and Taylor.
Do we want either?
No from me because of the Cap space they'd take to begin with.

They offer nothing to areas we need to fix.

 

[Jono078]

I wouldn't be mad at the club if they signed either.

Peachey would be an upgrade over Mann for the #14 role and also as fill-in for centres, halves, hooker and forward.

Taylor the need probably isn't there but he is better than Crossland and higher ceiling than Clune. Shit he may be better than Pearce right now too, just doesn't have those intangibles that Pearce can offer.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Peachey would be a good replacement for Watson at no.14 on the same sort of money but given he accused Barnett of a racial slur last year I don’t know if the club or Peachey would even go there.

Taylor has been a massive flop at the Gold Coast, he was paid $1m a season on potential and has barely been first grade standard. I know that people are frustrated with Pearce but he’s brought way more to our club than Ash Taylor has to the Titans.

That being said he’s still young and could still realise his potential. I wouldn’t be against a 1 year deal on low money to see what he can do and then maybe renegotiate from there. The elephant in the room is that Pearce probably won’t be at the club beyond 2022 (or maybe beyond 2021) so we need to plan for the future and maybe taking a low risk deal on a guy with huge upside is worth looking at.

 

[Yosh]

Ash is a huge no but Peachy surely deserves a look at. We're staring at Mann playing every game at 14. Peachy is easily twice the player Mann is.

Also, he is really creative in attack. Something we desperately need. Would he play 14 though? Does he want a starting position?

If he takes a pay cut I would love to have him here.

 

[Spot On]

Peachey is a decent utility. That’s it.

 

[Old dog]

Taylor is a no, but Peachey offers something with covering many positions. If he wants a starting position then he would likely have to go to a bottom side but 14 looks good

 

[Knight Tales]

Peachey is a good option. The issue will be if a Tigers or Dogs pay overs and price us out. I don’t see where we need him but he is still a very handy player. I would just rather us wait it out and see if we can get a real impact backrower.

In a perfect world where every player was off contract. Who would be the ideal back rower to sign within our budget?

Obviously not knowing actually how much cap space we have, but guessing we would have around 4-600k.

Would like to see maybe Joseph Tapaine come back.... He would be around that price

Angus Crichton

Angus Crichton

I said 600k Max of our salary cap...... Not roosters "cap" where he would be on about 300k

On the open market he would be 750+ wouldn't he?

Tapine isn’t an edge player anymore

Josh Schuster would be my pick in the fantasy scenario.

In reality no one on the market and in our price range who improves our squad.

This is pretty much it for me in a nutshell, and has been since we signed Gags back. If there's improvement in us next year, it's going to come from within - not from outside. It kind of has to at the end of the day. We have to expect to improve without necessarily buying everything we need. What does it say if we can't? No premiership anytime soon, that's for sure.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Chee Kam has been let go by the Tigers and is off contract. I know he was playing centre nowadays but he was an edge backrower through the grades and is a decent athlete. I reckon he's worth picking up on the cheap and give him the option to be a edge runner. I think he has some upside and at worst he's cheap and couldn't be worse than Fitzgibbon.

Chee Kam is already signed up by the Rabbits for next year.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Yeah there isn’t much available on the market at this stage, although usually there’s plenty of movement after the season is over with players being granted releases so I expect we will still see a signing or two before 2022 kicks off.

 

[macavity]

Apparently Tigers shopping Luke Garner.

I would take him - always one of their top 3-4 performers.

Not sure why they would be shopping him, but its the Tigers.

Maybe they go all out for Kikau?

Can't say I've seen much of Garner.
