Rumours and Stuff

Of course you got a boner out of bringing in another plodder to the club. I can hear the ceil of another jar of vasso being opened in the Pou household.

Ceil?

Storm prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona will only miss one game at the start of the 2025 season after it was ruled that three of New Zealand's Pac Champs game would count as part of his ban.

Matto gets to choose between money in his pocket or doing his job again.

Ceil?

He obvious means seal ...

 

[Avenger]

Don’t know about Cotric. When he first burst on the scene he was great but he has slowed up considerably. We need a bit of speed

That’s a valid point. To his defence I think @TheRam is suggesting this also.

If we bought a player in high demand (like Timoko if he was off contract) we’d be paying plenty for it. Given the strength of our squad already it’s not really feasible. It’s the bargain bin for us in the short term at least.

We need a smart winger that has alot of speed.

Russell is starting to make the right wing his but our left side is crap.

Sivo is passed it for me.

Waqa is on 500-600 K...

I wonder if his money has been spent already

 

[Incorrect]

Khan-Periera was available a little over a month ago, we should have targeted him, I'd been banging on for ages about him. Exactly what we need. Speed to burn and at that time was still a rookie and would have been cheap enough.

Whatever happens, Parra did the right thing....

Easily the worst player on big money we have had since Corey Peanut Norman. Blake is an abomination and should be charged with fraud.

Joffa could be the next one after Waqa...

I disagree. He will come good.

Same BA seems to get the best from forwards.

He got his contract, got lazy and he’s still living off the Sivo chants when runs in a try from 5m out.

Blame the loss to Cowboys on "Hands, Knees and Bompsa-daisy.." suspensions...

I would be chasing Brian Kelly and Billy Smith both off contract which is always a good thing and with Kelly he can find the try line.

Smith is starting to find his form and could be a really good pickup.

Could probably pick up both with Blake's contract......

Kelly yes Smith no.
Kelly is playing decent footy and settled in QLD, to tempt him to uproot his life and leave your offer needs to be enticing.
Not saying not worth exploring, just that I doubt he’d be a cheapie.

Since he did his ACL he has been plod maybe a few times he has shown signes of life but mostly plod.

I was surprised by how well he came back at the tail end of last year but yeah, this year he has reverted to his feline self....

It was explored about 4 or more weeks ago.

Mate I’m not saying Parra are perfect but continually signalling out some player who we didn’t buy making us stupid is a bit much. How would you even begin to know whether or not we chased him or if he was even interested.
Recruitment is not about saying this guy wants 350k so therefore we can buy him.
Not attacking you personally mate but these comments remind me of everyone carrying on how we haven’t resigned Cartwright etc then an article comes out where he says he has zero interest in leaving.
Just chill man x

I hear ya. Yeah, maybe we did sound him out, but I must say I doubt it... as much as we hate News Ltd and journo's in general, they usually have good mail and there was no smoke around us approaching him or anyone in that position for that matter...

I have just been thinking, wing is now such an important position and we have (seemingly) neglected it. We are sorely lacking speed in our backline and a hard worker in that position. Acknowledge it's easy to criticise without knowing the full story, but hey, that's what the forum is here for right? I'm adamant our recruitment is lacking in terms of the targets addressing our weaknesses to help us take the next step
