Rumoured Targets 3

[Turton Road]

Scott hill, Willie mason, josh Jackson

Time for the yearly Greg Bird rumour hey. It isn't a season without it.

 

[Turton Road]

Throw in players we had such as tapine and Joey leulia (spelt wrong)

 

[Joel-22]

We're close to signing Greg Bird. The issue is he wants to play with Robbie and the Knights are baulking on his contract. Would be a great leader for our young forward pack I reckon

source?

 

[Turton Road]

Can't say man

 

[Swarzey]

The issue was Michael Hagan and IS MATT GIDLEY. Who should be CEO? I'm gonna toss up Clint Newton. Ran the RLPA very well and loves the club. This bloke is switched on.

lolno.

Maybe find a position at the club for him to work up through the ranks, but to go straight into the CEO role would be terrible; he's too connected to the players atm.

 

[Turton Road]

Fair enough. But he'd be better than the bloke we have there now Imo

 

[Frederick]

Can't say man

:lol: of course you can't.

I've got it on good authority that you're full of shit. Can't say who my source is though...it's a secret!

 

[Joel-22]

Can't say man

I hope you're right. I'd take Birdy in a heartbeat

 

[Turton Road]

Only saying what I've been told mate

 

[macavity]

I have it on good authority we couldn't sign an X in the snow with our own dicks.

 

[Joel-22]

Does anyone think Mullen will play for us next year?

For some reason, I just can't see it happening. I can see him announcing that he's going to England for 2017 and beyond.

This is based on nothing btw, just a hunch.

 

[TooheysNew]

They will let the locals stink it up, and only replace them if they have shown they suck.

Hardly pro-actively building the best possible squad.

Yeah this is really not the case.

There's nobody ready. Lamb is the only player close to being a decent fill in and he's still a year or two away from being more than capable of handling first grade without any concern his development will be sent backwards. Feeney will never be first grade standard IMO and Cogger is in the same boat as Lamb, just a bit further behind.

2018 is more likely.

 

[The Showstopper]

Zak Hardaker from Leeds has asked for a transfer. The reigning Man Of Steel. We should enquire. 6 foot 3 inches of fullback with great pace and strength.

 

[Whats Doing]

If we want to use juniors we could try and entice Mosese and Tevita Pangai back to the Knights. Mosese has been playing well for Blackhawks and Tevita had gone well for the Broncos

 

[slotmachine]

Pangai scored a very nice try against the warriors yesterday, showed great footwork for a huge unit.

 

[macavity]

Yeah this is really not the case.

Straight from the horses mouth.

Nuffy and I had our jaws involuntarily drop when Gidley said it.

100% correct. Our entire strategy seems to be based on unearthing a generation of superstars like we did in the late 90s and then assume they will resist market forces and other clubs wont plunder the good ones.

Call me concerned but that was our strategy through the 2000s and we never found another golden crop and the ones who enjoyed long FG careers, most didnt at do it at our club.

So why will we be successful this time around, where is the evidence. Hope isn't a strategy.

And also bear in mind, this time last year, our roster was much better, we seemed to have no cap problems and Stone was the answer to all our problems.

But a feel good, locals first policy buys the admin time and positive PR until the next strategy comes along.

Jeezus Christ who would want to do that?!
