Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

We must have scored a truckload of points in each win in 2001 then if we only won 14 games that season...

ffs....

 

[Glenneel]

So far the Knights have Guerra, Ponga, Ese'ese, Watson...anyone else?

Tigers have Matalino, Reynolds, Packer, Macqueen, Mahe Fonua, Corey Thompson, Tahne Miln on top of mid season signings Twal, Lolohea...anyone else?

So far I'd say the Tigers have been more impressive recruiting for 2018 than the knights

Knight also picked Mogo? the big Broncos centre who is impressive.

The team who has the least impressive recruitment so far is Parra by a long margin. Evans doesn't exactly fill me with a lot of excitement and Meehan is very much a WIP. Lets hope the cap starts to bite a few clubs and we have plenty of cap to fill. Imo need at least another good big prop, two would be even better.

You don't recruit new players just because.

'....just because.' of what?

What I'm saying is that you can't say our recruitment has been the least impressive. Of course the tigers and newy have had large numbers of players coming in. They have largely been shit this year. We are obviously being very strategic and filling holes with the players we want, not just any players that are available. I'm not disagreeing with you about what we need, but we also aren't desperate. Don't forget Moses coming early too.

Stagger PLEASE tell me there is some stuff coming in terms of signings. Any truth to the prop rumour signing? I was on holidays so cannot remember if anyone worked out who it was.

We should always be trying to improve our squad, the comp is tougher every year so you would hope we have some stuff bubbling away...

You're not a glass half full chap are you, Gleneel?

I agree, though, about the need for a big prop or 2. But they need to be good, not just serviceable.

Nah they just need to be big and fat.

I don't think we have finished, I'd say we are waiting for the fallout from the Salary Cap being set at $9.2mil, there will be some pretty handy players on the open market then I'd say.

I just did a quick check of nrlstatsformerkins.com

We havent won more than 10 games in a season since we entered the comp in 1935.

You sure?

I'm sure I saw on there the other day that we blitzed it in 1968 when the comp moved to a summer competition and we won the premiership in that memorable grand final against the now defunct Belrose Roofracks team.... good times.....

I'm still trying to work out whether your comment is facetious or just faeces.

Pushing for a top 4 spot, I'm not sure we need to be all that active in the market. I'm sure BA will get the best out of the two props you've mentioned.
