Good signing he has actually looked decent playing backrow when hes played this year.

I dont know who the fuck people criticising these signings think we should sign.

I still think if they got a Haas it would make us go from the basement to the (sub) penthouse with some more injury luck than we have had.

We are just signing scraps now wtf

Not much available atm, Dont mind that we are signing someone like salmon to replace flangan, Utility from a good system as gus said the more players we get from good systems the better, We need guys like this to come in and help push the standards, Guys like reed, kikau and adocarr need help with this sort of shit we need to weed out the weaklinks who complain about training.

If the alternative was Tyrone May I don't mind it.
All these depth signings though, sutely we hook a bigger fish soon.
What do we need really? A lot of the guys we have will bear fruit in the next couple years. A lot of this is competition for spots. It’s very rare given how we have been the past 5 years to turn it around so you can win the comp. Putting a competitive team on the park is a great turn around.

We need to make changes because obviously what we have isn’t working.. these players have some potential, they could all be diamonds in a rough. Let’s hope a big signing will happen in the off season to tie this all up so we can start next year on a positive note :tearsofjoy:

He's good enough to play 15 games this season for the two time defending Premiers but not good enough to make our 17 playing the same role?
A bit part role playing in the best nrl system ever, not even nailing down a position. Yeah that will translate well to a spoon team.

Good signing IMO. Not sure on him as a person but as a player he does a decent job and is better than half the duds we have and have been looking at for the last half decade.

Also on that note, I don't really care if these footballers are decent people anymore. We've tried the 'lets sign choir boys' approach and it hasn't lead to any success. Give me a bunch of talented angry morons that'll get in trouble every now and then but bring us success any day.

Surely this spells the end of Nu Brown. Can’t have 3 utilities with Taaffe and Salmon joining. Shame he didn’t really get a chance to prove himself

Look I don’t hate any of these 3 reported signings (sst, salmon, taafe) I think can all play roles and help our year improve.

That said it’s clear as Fucking day we lack badly in the pack. Knight and sst best footy is years ago. Both could be key big body hard ***** that help. They could be tampons in and out. Knights hands for me are a concern and his brain snaps (from games I’ve watched not stats year long).

That said I’d take them all over Okonbor and Flanagan in the fucking pack.

We are that thin.

Still if we have a couple mill these blokes can’t be more than 1….

We need that 1 mil left to land a Fucking dominate alpha for 24. Dunno who that is outside Tino. If it’s not a chance then 25 is a must for haas and we gotta get the deal sorted November otherwise come July next year will be recruiting another bloke from esl and a few depth players from quality teams….

We land Tino or haas then all of a sudden we have someone to build with kikau, Preston and king and the guys like sst and knight.

We can’t afford to balls this up. Taafe and sexton give us some money all type guys who could provide great 1/7 for us that allows critta to be the best centre we have with guys like burton and Mahoney stepping up and having the pressure off us.

Give burton an edge of critta kikau Jac. A partner in sexton to direct and do the basics. Give Mahoney some leader like Tino/haas with hard heads like sst tpj Preston king and knight. Helps the kids like pele and Hughes to learn from.
