Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[The Charlatan]

Our wingers are capable and will do for the moment, we need a quality centre moreso.

Agree that he clearly isnt at the level of either of those guys yet. However he hasnt really had a chance to be. Liddle missed the entire pre seasons of 2017/18. Both years his first game was round 4 first grade. He didnt play a trial or even a nsw cup game before being thrown in.

This year he will get a full pre season, in the time trial last week he came second. He hasnt been stuffing around in the off season, its clear he is here to play and play first grade.

If we lose him because we stuck with a 35 year old Farah IMO it will turn out to be a worse decision then we picked Blair over Fifita or Richards over Korobiete.

He was playing 80mins in ISP and standing out whilst doing it.
It would be plain stupid to persevere this long and at the stage where he has every chance to succeed we pull the plug and let another side reap the benefit.
The kid is special and we need to wait a liddle bit longer to see it.

 

[WT2K]

So with the musgrove pick-up that brings our roster to 29 players.

Still need a centre.

Yeah thats about all they are.. but how nice would it be to know you have a winger in the clear he will go all the way.
There must be a lot of indigenous or fijian talent out there that NRL clubs havnt found , im not talking 2019 but harvesting some of them to develop for down the track .

Just got WT email . . . we have signed Musgrove for 3 years. Official.

I reckon we will still end up offloading a player or two.

 

[Shredder]

Thats a pretty fast signing for someone who started on Monday.

I like where we are going.

Three signings, all young and in positions we need to bolster. Its a great start and much better than the usual shit we dish out.

3 years! Must be a Madge favourite

It's a long time for someone who is unproven isn't it. I like the signing apart from the term.

 

[WT2K]

What we all knew already.. But still nice to see it.

Agree, think one or two will be offloaded too.

Front rowers can take a while to mature, he is young so prob not a bad move.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Excellent signing - Walker next please

 

[The Charlatan]

3 years is good for a young prop. He hits his straps this year or next year, you have a quality prop at a cheap price.

Sadly mate we had two of the best in Koro and JAC and let them walk out the front gate. I dream of JAC on one wing and a 2019 version of TNT on the other wing

 

[super_coach]

One spot left, we need some releasings in a hurry

 

[Front-Rower]

Sorry but Koro wasn’t first grade standard when he was with us, especially in defence.

That would be awesome. I'm not though worried about our wingers. Nofo and Thompson are first graders. Not the top level players but they are good.

Left centre is the problem spot but Fonua and the rorters signing might fill in there.

I reckon our squad is looking a lot better than last year.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Well that’s up to the coach to sort out. You don’t get rid of a guy with more natural talent then our entire back line combined cause his defence needs a bit of work. At Melbourne he was probably the best winger in the game, within 18 months of leaving us.

Apparently Walker is a target. Would be good if had a player like Momo waiting in the wings.
