Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

You do understand that there is no long serving player discount any more?

ffs

 

[Joshuatheeel]

What really worries me is that other clubs are announcing signings but as yet nothing from our club. Rumours we have Junior but just that, a rumour, at present. We really need to go hard and pay overs if necessary to rebuild the squad. Go really hard for Pangi Jnr, looks like one of those forwards that'll be a real beast in the future plus another good middle forward, maybe Lodge. However our precarious ladder position doesn't help us in negotiations but the Knights have proved they can still sign players when in the cellar. We need to do the same. Lets hope the dopey BA doesn't come to the fore, praising how our forwards will perform once they are all back so no need to buy any more for next year (or is that Pou talking?).

Which club has announced signings?

North Sydney with Carney?

Dogs with that fringe winger or Cogger?

Or titans with Boyd?

Any others?

 

[Kornstar]

I would genuinely be pretty pissed to see Jenko leave, yes he hasn’t been great but his defence alone is brilliant and doesn’t really get enough of a wrap.

His still class and has speed, he would be the last one shipped for me.

We are a fickle bunch. Jennings has been one of our most consistent players for some time and he has a few off weeks and our fans want him shafted asap.

And fans wonder why this club is as shit as it is.......because we had fans running it for so long and this is how our fans think!!!!

 

[Gazzamatta]

If BA has to recruit up to a dozen players for next year I wouldn't be surprised if his time spent on coaching is spread a little thin. Maybe a HOFM might help?

Been poor all year. But its not his poor form but more his noticebale decline in speed. I noticed a few times when in open he was rounded up before able to reach full speed. The young Jennings accelrated so fast if gave him 5 mtrs it was ahut to gate. You where not cathcing him.

He looks slower and sluggish to me. But maybe its an illusion cause we are losing.
Unsure

Right now id pick Taka over Hayne or Jennings in centres.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Takairangi is wasted in the centres.

He probably has lost a yard or two of pace, but age ravages us all.

He's still defensively the best centre in the game, imo, and he's a powerful runner.

I hope we keep him.

Depends.... If costing over 600k id set him free and see how Jack Birds doing.

Plenty of good defenseive centres around. J.Morris says hello.

MJ is 30 and will be 31 next season. If he wants a final pay day his best bet is UK for a 3yr deal end of season while still has a name. If he keeps declining till middle of 2019 his deal in UK could halve what would be now.

BA should put him in 2nd row then and develop him there.

Hoffman or Auvau could play centre

 

[hindy111]

Jack Birds a real talent. He is unhappy and overweight. If we can get him for 500k id be stoked. Maybe Brisbane chippn in 100k and Bird taken a bit of a pay cut to get out of Brisbane

Jack Bird was an awful defender when he was fit.

He's a non-entity now that he's fat

Both Morris brothers are busted, slow, and genuinely one weirdly spaz injury away from retirement.

If Jennings allows us to get a genuine quality centre, sure, let him go. But I'd be keeping him unless we could nab a rep level bloke.

 

[TheRam]

Does this make me the smartest here. I have a 2nd team and they are sitting 2nd.

The irony.

My season is still alive Ram.

Btw you reckon EL diko had a wet dream over my new avatar?

Yes, you're very lucky and smart Hindy, most people don't really care fore a second team. Like I have a soft spot for Souths, but in the big scheme of things, I couldn't give a toss about their results. Not like Parra's anyway.

Footy loses a lot of its appeal when Parra has a shit season. Like I will probably only half watch games now that Parra has been dispatched...again so early in the season.

I thought that was El Dildo in his naked masturbating Unicorn, while flying through rainbows pose. Luky fella that Dildo. At least he has something fun to do now that the season is over.

 

[hindy111]

On Jennings I reckon he was signed ONLY cause we where cocky WITH RORTING THE CAP.

IF didnt sign him we may never of lost Jnr.

I reckon the dogs will miss both more then imagine. They are still quality. I would have both in our team if the price was right. Professional and a great attitude.

I don't mind them. I just think they are past their best and there is no point letting go of Jennings and replacing him with either of the Morris brothers.

I wouldn't really want us to sign either of them, but it's not because I don't rate them as decent players or good guys to have in the squad. I just think that both are going to feel the effects of all their many injuries and slide very quickly and I'd rather have a punt on someone with a future, maybe throw Aukafolau on the wing or something.

 

[rugby league fan]

We are lacking & require a quality

* Wing
* Center
* Backrower
* 5/8
* Hooker
* Middle forwards x 3

How we do this & who we chase i have no idea. We obviously need to off load some dead wood.

French,
Hoffman
George Jennings
Norman,
Mannah
Scott
Vave/Matagi
Kaysa/King
Gower.Evans/Teripo/Moeroa

My wish list would be

* Wing - Holmes, Fonua, Uate, Don, Mind you we do have GL, Akafolau coming through.

* Center - Waqa Blake, Lattrell Mitchell, Esan Marsters, Matthew Wright,

* Backrower - Fitzgibbon, Harawira-Naera, Kikau, Faitala-Mariner, Jaydn Su'A

* 5/8 - Todd Carney, Cody walker, Elgey, Austin, Or we use what we have, Salmon, Hayne, Gutho.
If Salmon not up to it. Hayne was great in world cup. Options until Dylan Brown develops

* Hooker - Manaia Cherrington, Levi, Until the likes of Mahoney, Schneider are ready

* Middle forwards - Tevta P Junior, Paulo, Klemmer, Matt Lodge, Sauaso Sue, Asofa Solomona,
Fonua-Blake, Taupau, Ah Mau, Bunty Afoa,

Only my opinion. But things need to change. ASAP

Isn’t Peter Sharp currently in a recruitment type role? Not sure.
