When do we call time?

Halves in the NRL - who would you swap for Moses? .... who is suitable? Not just Ponga cos he is the next big thing (even though he is a better fullback)

Broncos ... Milf, Nikorima
Dragons ... Hunt, Corey
Raiders ... Sam Williams, Wighton, (Sezar)
Knights ... Pearce, Ponga
Roosters ... Keary, (Cronk)
Manly ... DCE, Elgey
Warriors ... Green, Kerighan
Cowboys ... Morgan, Clifford (Temare Matin)
Sharks ... Townsend, Johnson
Panthers ... Maloney, Cleary
Storm ... Croft, Munster
Tigers ... Benji, Brooks
Dogs ... Foran, Lewis

Honestly ... not alot there I would want .... Munster & Ponga are top players you would want, but neither is a game controller - Johson similar .... DCE is good but costs the world .... Morgan, Keary, Pearce would probably cost a fair bit .... Townsend is good bang for buck and wouldn't hamper the progression of Drown

I reckon Aiden Seizer or Tyrone Roberts would of been handy at price would cost.
Also happy to run with giving Moses a new contract. I'd assume he is on about 800k. I would wipe 250-300k off and see how he feels. Keeping in mind we are about 750-850 under cap right now. Savings next year will be huge. Id re sign jennings for 2yrs but only at 300k mark. And same for Manu who would be on over 500k. We could save close to a million on those 3 alone. I think the rest of contract will cost around the same while a few will need upgrading.
Plus we can get rid of Bevan and Hoffman and replace with cheaper back ups.Another 300k in kitty.
Might have a war chest and an already strong team. But we must not go silly and lose the juniors by wasting money.

If they come last or have a shit season I’d be knocking on the Titans’ door and enquiring on Ash Taylor. He would be ideal. Contracts mean shit these days. I’d be happy to swap him for Moses.

That’s of course if we miss out on Chad Townsend who would be my first choice.

 

[Bazal]

Chad Townsend would be cheaper and better long term.

Say it with me mate.

Chad. Townsend. Is. A. Plodder

You'll get there, it might just take time

Jennings was great in defence last night. You won’t get that out of two rookies.

BA is not foolish enough to put rookies in such a sink or swim position (with a rookie winger) at the same time.

Senile Gazza has made Mennings his new old man HateGoat with Hayne's departure.

It's really very silly, but Mennings could score eight tries and he'd still nitpick an error he made going for the ninth. I suppose without kids on his lawn to shout at he needs something to do

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’ve got a time machine and I saw that we actually make the 8 this year. My subscription however ends in round 26.

I don’t think we will ever have a losing streak of six in a row anymore. Norman is gone. Brown will only get better but unfortunately I still think the jury is out with Moses. A good halfback would have won us that game last night. Our forwards were holding their own.

You’re nit picking (sp) at Moses and his game. We didn’t lose because of Moses. We lost because of poor discipline at the worst of times. Each time we scored we nullified it ourselves. If we play them again, we’ll beat them.

Besides Arthur who have I changed my mind over?

Hayne
Norman

He is a pancake

Chad. Townsend. Is. A. Plodder

I’d take Townsend if he was still available after we exhausted pursuing (in no particular order):
Moses
Morgan
Taylor
Bob Backlund Keary
Cronk
Adam Reynolds
Lewis
Johnson
Maloney
Munster
Any gun rookie half aka whatever happened to Kyle Flanagan

 

[hindy111]

Townsend is average. Judt in a good side.

Both payers are contracted for 2020, and contracts are still legally binding documents. The only way to get a player to pressure his club to agree to a termination is by offering him massive overs.

Unless the other club is shopping him around, I suppose.

Ash Taylor could be on the block too. And let's be honest outside a kicking game the kid has absolutely nothing. Tits will probs be stuck with him even if they want him gone at his price

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He is a pancake

At his best when covered in butter and maple syrup?

 

[Gronk]

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Well that's nice of him.

But get f**ked, Sowie!!

 

[Eelogical]

It still take me ages to recognise him on TV without the headgear. Now I know why he wore it on the field.

 

[Gronk]

He’d take you down merkin.

Who in our side will cost over 550k in 2020?
Maybe Gutherson.
My guess is Manu, MJ,Moses are all on over that and Tepai wouldnt be far off. Their contracts will all drop. Question becomes how do we want to spend the cash.
I reckon a top shelf prop and 2nd rower.

MJ on 350k would be ok. Prob best to put Salmon in a centres now to see if good enough otherwise we upgrade. Parry will be depth. So 1-6 we are ok. Moses will be fine at right Price.
Mannah,Alvaro,Manu prob cost too much for depth so maybe let them 3 walk and upgrade those positions.
Terepo will cost a lot less and give great value. Nikuore also will be decent value.
