Recruitment and Retention for 2024

[Morgan]

Really very average player for his size , no Mongrel. .......

I remember last year, I can't remember which game, he made a good cover tackle. He's surprisingly fast as well. Someone that big and that fast has no business being handled as easily as he is by the defence.

Matt Lodge is a real ******** as far as I know but he's a decent prop and without a club for next year.

Should pick up Lodge. He did wonders for the Rooters, when he came on board last year. Think he's a way better prop than anything we have. Go get him Flanno.

Flanno needs to be strong enough so that he stops doing whatever he is doing to piss every club off he goes to. Every club seems to improve a lot when he leaves. Tigers were a basket case with him. Then the Broncos were the wooden spooners with him. Then Warriors were second or third last with hm. Now Roosters are going downhill rapidly.

Yes he suffers from the same Bug as" Sloan." No ticker. Won't put his body on the line. Time to rid ourselves of all the "pea hearts."We need to be known throughout the NRL,
as men as tough as teak. That take no prisoners. Just like the 50's & 60's.
As I see it now only DeBelin is anywhere near that mantle.

And just like the 3 years with Bennett.

Moses Mbye

You mean Bud Sullivan half and Mbye 5/8? Or vice versa?

 

[DragonsTragic]

No, not being re-signed. Flanno's first cut. Link didn't work?

Sorry. Didn't realise it was a link.

Moses Mbye

I remember when Mbye was first signed. I was really scratching my head. Not that I didn't rate him as a player but was confused about what position he was supposed to play for the us. And even though Tigers were apparently paying half his 900k salary, 450k for Mybe is still massive overs, IMO.

Kerr, Mbye gone. I think Burns and Fuimaono to follow. Slowly getting rid of the dead wood.

No one listens to me at all. Even though no one listens to me I'm telling you, Beau Fermor is a potential superstar second rower. And he is young. I think 21 or 22. To have the Titans take Hunt for Fermor along with some money would be a great trade!

 

[Morgan]

David Fifita and / or Tino Fa’asuamaleaui would be very handy signings.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Yes we do need to make a play for Tino now he is to be permitted to test the market. Be a great addition to our pack and a fair swap for Hunt if it comes to that. But dont muck around FO as he wont stay free for long, his mate Fifita has already been given a multi mill buck offer.

I'm a bin fan of Fa’asuamaleaui but not for a mil a year.

Theses are all players off contract?
I posted this two weeks back somewhere. No one answered it..sob sob.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Betting Tariq Sims and Tyson Frizell would come back to us on a reduced wage. I'd like both back home.

..and I went to the trouble of checking stats then underlining the best prospects too.. sob sob.
