Rumour Brandon smith done deal

[CrittaMagic69]

There’s couple player swaps on the cards Melbourne have identified 3 players they’ll be interested in taking everyone is on the market. Barrett is pissed off at the lack of effort and courage shown by certain players no one is safe anymore

Maybe Baz should do a better job of managing the squad.

 

[B-Train]

He has never stood out against Australia....lol. He's a tough, effort player, but technically he is nowhere near on the level of players like Grant.....I would take him for the right price, but he would want massive overs to come to our club.....I just don't think he's worth it.

Okay if you say so. He was man of the match in 2018 when they won and he scored a try. He's also stood out numerous other times for NZ but don't let the truth get in the way of your agenda.

Have you heard anything about BBO? We need to get him locked up ASAP.

 

[Flanagun]

Did Cheese sleep with Elliott or something…?

lol nah, i just don't think he's worth what some people seem to think around here. At this club where we often hsve to deal with teams inside the 10, he'll get exposed, imho

I have no agenda. Just an opinion. You don't have to bee an a-hole just because i don't agree with you. Running game is good, service is not good enough. Not worth the ridiculous figures that are being quoted here. That's my opinion.

has a massive agenda and dont forget he thinks Elliott is EASILY a better all round player so.......



there goes ANY credibility he had

You're entitled to your opinion. You said he hadn't stood out against Australia, I proved that he has. Quality hookers are scarce these days and are also more important than ever with the rule changes so he's worth paying big money for.

that is true you are entitled to one..your well and truly on your own though so i guess we will see next year but to say he is a bit of a slug is ridonkulous that's my opinion LOL

Ok hopefully it’s not bbo, schoupp, thomo or almoti they can take anyone else

The main reason we signed Gus was Khourey recognised that we had reached a crisis point in our rebuild. The footy team wasn’t progressing, top talent had stopped signing with us and Barrett was/is struggling.

Hooker has long been recognised as our main priority and since Ennis we have failed to secure or develop a good one.

Other than Grant or possibly Mahoney there is no-one else even remotely worth chasing and the only in house option might be BBO. (Though 7 might be his thing)

It’s a big moment for the club because as I have said before, what Smith would bring to our club apart from being in the top 2 hookers in the game is his infectious desire to compete and win.

Would be a massive signing and couldn’t give a fuck what we pay him. Just maybe the power team of Gould/Khoury/Laundy/Hansen is starting assert its influence.

I can already picture how they won that game......on the back of their forwards really sticking it to Australia and him making some good runs off the back of it. Crisp and efficient service is still a problem for him. I don't think him moving to canterbury woul be good for either the club or his personal development. That's my opinion.

Very true i'm liking what has been going down too!!..and add in JAC who has all these traits too it's fucking massive for us if we're getting this BULL of a player.

Watch him closely. He can not pass off the ground. Always has to do a little shuffle towards the defensive line first. The reason he looks so good at melbs is his team regularly dominates the ruck and always get a good 10 metres when attacking

You're also discounting his toughness, leadership and premiership winning experience which would be invaluable for a struggling club like ours. The guy is a winner and a true competitor who will help change the culture while holding everyone accountable.

 

[Mr Beast]

If we offered him anything more than 600k, it’s a terrible piece of business. Surely Gus knows better. He didn’t go out snd pay overs for players at Penrith.

WE want him, but we don't want him if we have to pay X.

If we want him, we have to pay the price. You can't be half pregnant.

 

[Mr Beast]

@Sleepy you'll get Kennel G.O.A.T status if this one is true.

I'll even change his Kennel Title to GOAT

 

[wendog33]

Love to get Cheese..but...not if it means loosing BBO.

Smart skillful, running, fearless halfbacks are much harder to find than hookers.

Burton will totally dominate our plays at 5/8 next year and if we have a good running, kicking 7 with him, the need for a running hooker not as critical.

A good decision making dh fits in better with Burton.

IF we can only get one, I'd rather BBO at 7 than Cheese at 9.

 

[maroondog72]

Hahaha yes you are stooge

and what are you basing that opinion on donkey fucker?

 

[Gene Krupa]

hope I am getting stooged but that's what I have been told mate.

Larry, Curly, Moe. Or Shemp. Please not Joe.

 

[Cujo]

A rep back - not half. BBO isn't locked up so the Storm or anyone else could sign him now outside any swap

Cotric?
