The Rumours Thread

[Pleasehelpstillchoking]

Just imagine if we did a deal for 2023 with the Dogs, Hunt for Thompson.
Sullivan to halfback
In addition to Thompson, we get a like-for-like replacement for Sims. Maybe David Fifita.

1. Burgess / Sloan
2. Matt Feagai
3. Suli
4. Lomax
5. Ravalawa
6. Amone
7. Sullivan
8. Molo
9. Liddle
10. De Belin
11. Fifita
12. Su'A
13. Bird

14. Mbye
15. Thompson
16. Lawrie
17. Burgess

There would be plenty of salary cap to bring in Thompson and Fifita with plenty left over to buy/upgrade other players.

Not sure Burgess has the agility for fullback Possum

Burgess might be pretty good on kick returns though - assuming he could get to the ball in the first place!

And play who in the 7 when Bud gets injured or bashed and out for 6 to 8 weeks? Mbye? No thanks

I'll be happy to offer my services for the privilege of wearing the red v

Probably still a better option than Mbye, mate

Haha! By the looks of things, we will be fielding a team of hookers in 2023/2024. Talk about going over the top. It would be good if the club can set us all straight as to what they intend to do with all of the proposed hookers. Soon we will be able to run a "boutique of hookers" with Hook as the Maitre De.

Dead set the inmates are running the asylum. We are screaming out for a quality big unit prop so what does FO do they bring us a hooker. Not an elite one, but a reject from the wooden spooners. So they still plan to buy Robson, what then will happen to our promising junior hookers. As you say DD we are raining hookers.

David Fifita.

I read he is staying put with the Titans.

Only the dragons would get rid of a player like Robson then pay massive overs to try and bring him back

I assumed it was Glenn, making a comeback

The offer for Robson was massive for a young player reported to be $460000 that was alot back then for someone who wasnt a proven 1st grader and at that stage and we had a good hooker in Cam Mc

Fair in theory. Still a dumb decision considering how everything played out..

Can’t predict the future. I think the dumber decision was to let McInnes go knowing that we let Robson walk beforehand leaving the club with no dummy-half to succeed Cam.

And that dick head was named Mary

We didn’t let McInnes go, he left for a better offer from Cronulla. Pretty sure the Sharkies offered him a 4 year deal and Saints offered 3 yrs only

 

[possm]

We are not going to win the comp next year, so release Hunt NOW to secure the future number 7 in waiting & would free up $1M to buy some running forwards !!!!

Yes, that is the way forward. So, why won't they do this?

Mary's love for McInnes saw Robson go to the Cowboys. The McInnes to the Sharks and were left with?

 

[Mountain Dragon]

Perhaps the Dragons should have a go at Isaiah Papalii? Got ice-cold feet about the Tigers.

 

[dragon thomo]

Isaiah Papalii would be a great buy.
He has cold feet in going to the Tigers.
But he would rather go to the Tigers than us

Not a bad option and cheaper than Fifita. We need a like for like to replace Sims.

 

[BIG RIG]

Jack Murchie is reportedly not coming to us - he is reportedly off to Parramatta

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Let me give you a conversation I was privy to.
It involves Tom Dearden being asked "what's going on with the Broncs rumour of securing Cody Croft"? after he was talked up as the next number 7 & had played a handful of 1st grade games.
He shrudded his shoulders in confusion & we all know what has happened next. I hope this is not another Tom Dearden/ Broncos moment ......

In fairness Tom Dearden was shocking at the Bronco's and Croft was worse
