Rumours and Stuff

Alamoti is nearly 21. But regardless, everyone knows what would have happened to him if we had signed him.

He'd of been playing middle by round 10.

Bea’s greatest Hits!!

Ok after my insanely excellent Bea Baldies thread which was to promote some discussion in a dying forum I did promise to do his greatest hits. Same as before I will try to put a team together in the positions they played. 1 - King Gutho - easily Bea’s greatest success story and fast...

Bea’s Baldies!!

I’ve decided to do a thread of Bea’s baldest recruits just for all of us to discuss and reminisce of the good times. Don’t worry I’m going to do a Bea’s greatest hits thread as well. We’ve done quite well the last few years with signings but this year has come up snake eyes. I’ve tried to...

That was a very good read. I especially agree in relation to Daniel Anderson. He was a gun coach. We screwed him over big time.

But had such a short NRL career. Was he really such a gun?

Hate to tell you, but Alamoti ain’t no backup fella. Penrith just saw something in him no one else did. Now he is a Premiership winner.

He was one of your best in the GF, probably second after Martin.

I think @hindy111 was only listing the BA signings he thought were shit.
If you're looking for the first good one, you need to also consider he signed the following while here:

1. Danny Wicks (2015)
2. Clint Gutherson (2016)
3. Nathan Brown (2017)
4. Mitchell Moses (2017)
5. Maika Sivo (2019)
6. Blake Ferguson (2019)
7. Reagan Campbell-Gillard (2020)

Yes I mentioned them. But on that list who really was a great signing. I'll add Beau Scott but like Ferguson he was great in his first season. Ok in 2nd and horrible in his 3rd. Good signings? Meh I can't say that good. Ferguson was earning 500k to play back up in his 3rd year.
RCG was an origin rep so it isn't like he made him a star. He just regained form after a broken jaw.

Moses agree great signing along with Gutherson, Sivo and N.Brown, Hopgood.
Overall he made about 5 or 6 good signings. But his strike rate overall was horrible.

I reckon that Baldies team you named would struggle to actually win a game in the top grade if you gave them 11 years under BA.

It's no ones fault, player's don't matter, coaches don't matter nothing else matters woo woooooooh ffs!!

I don’t think that’s how it goes

Hate to tell you, but Alamoti ain’t no backup fella. Penrith just saw something in him no one else did.

According to you, Gould paid him $500k. If true, that implies high demand from NRL clubs. Hardly Penrith being the only ones to see something in him. He’s always been a player who runs the ball well. Every club knows it. But his defence is poor. Penrith are best placed to hide him, which is why they signed Blaize Talagi. I’m keen to see if Penrith re-sign Alamoti and stand him and Talagi alongside each other in the defensive line.

Now he is a Premiership winner.

So are Momirovski and Staines. Plenty of teams have cheap outside backs. It allows them to spend more on more important positions.
