What signing will be the biggest flop 2022

[Someone2]

Jackson Hastings

if DCE doesn’t like you than you’ve got problems

 

[Someone2]

Also expecting JAC to have a poor year and will score under 10 try’s

 

[This Year?]

Where are the Jack Gosiewski and Aaron Woods options?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

I voted for JAC. He's not going to have as many opportunities playing on the flank at the Bulldogs. The structure of Storm was perfect for him as the halves created plenty of space for him to make use of his pace. He's not going to get that in a rebuilding Bulldogs team.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Throw in back-it-up Woodsy and the Goons seem well represented,

Chad will easily be the biggest waste of money, but I couldn’t call him a flop, as he’s been shite for a long time anyway, so surely nobody is expecting $800k of value from him.
So, ignoring Chad, I think Reynolds - I actually think he’s overrated anyway at Souths - barely runs the ball so isn’t a threat ball in hand, all he really has is a good kicking game IMO, but had the perfect half in Walker to take the pressure away. Won’t have that at the Broncos, and is in a much weaker team too - I think he’ll be poor, and probably injured a lot.

 

[Smug Panther]

SJ is a bum and always will be

 

[Dogs Of War]

Adam Reynolds. Not so much cause he can't play, but I think too much is expected in Brisbane just by him joining the club. They still have the wrong coach in charge and no amount of coach whispering will be able to fix what is wrong with the game plan.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Tbh the majority of those guys won't make a difference to the teams they're joining.

i like that no one has even bothered to mention Mbye, it's just a given

That’ll be, because just like Chad, absolutely nobody expects anything from Mbye, so it’s not a flop - there’s got to at least be some people expecting big things from the individual for it to be classed as a flop.
Players like Chad, Mbye, Woods should be spending large chunks of their days on their knees in front of their agents paying them back in whatever way their agent chooses for the contracts they’ve delivered them.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

Suli. Guys defence is abhorrent. It was covered up a little at Manly because they could score points with ease, & the 1 or 2 tries he let in a game usually didn't effect the outcome.

At Saints, every point matters & he's going to be badly exposed. He'll be sleeping in the car in the carpark while training's going on by round 10.

Also "The Chad". Thank God for the cowboys taking the diabolic recruitment decision trophy away from the tigers & taking it to new lofty heights. How can anyone that knows anything about the game think signing him on over 850k a season is a good decision. The mind boggles.

 

[ayatollah_murdoch]

Dane Gagai - Coming off a strong club year, don't think he will have the same impact at the knights.

Matt Burton - Main playmaker in what is otherwise an ineffective spine at the Dogs.

Jamal Fogarty - will get Ricky's

Kurt Capewell - Brisbane have sufficient forwards. May not get the same impact as a high performing Penrith team.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

No woods option?

Someone should place @ayatollah_murdoch under arrest!

Of these, has to be SJ.

 

[Perth Red]

Anyone whose left the Storm. It rarely goes well.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

If he gets on the field then Milford, otherwise Townsend.

 

[soc123_au]

Burton. Not because he isn't a great player, just because he wont be able to meet the expectations of dragging the Dogs out of the bottom 4 on his own. 2023 could be a different story though.

with these signings they should be out of the bottom 4!

Matt Burton (Panthers), Josh Addo-Carr (Storm), Brent Naden (Panthers), Matt Dufty (Dragons), Paul Vaughan (Dragons), Tevita Pangai jnr (Broncos/Panthers)

 

[Fangs]

Gagai.

Actually had a pretty good year in 2021. However I don't see him improving at the Knights. Expecting them to miss the 8 and his form to drop.

I think you underestimate the T Baz effect.
