News Canterbury In Box Seat To Sign Connor Tracey From Cronulla Sharks

[Flanagun]

It probably feels great to free the playful inner child within.
You should try it, rather than behaving like a spoilt one for a change.

Says the dickhead who thinks they are entitled to go around lecturing strangers on how they should conduct themselves on a public forum.

Probably because we’re now rid of Barrett’s flop signings - the last ones being Flanagan and TPJ - two expensive duds. On top of that we had lots of money tied up in Thompson (not getting much value), a couple of flops in Davey and Pele and players barely of NRL quality like Okunbor or Casey. Outside of Crichton we may not have recruited suoerstars for 2024 but we’ve recruited experience and depth and that alone should put us in a better place than 2021/22/23. Simples.

We haven't really landed experience. Only 2 players with over 100 games we signed Crichton exactly 100 and Mann who Newcastle showed the door too. We have tried to release 2 players with over 100 NRL/SL games Sutton and RFM.

Davey and Pele signed in 2022 by Gould. Bad investments.

TPJ was the first player signed by Gould.

The moment Gould arrived he's had sole absolute control over every recruitment and retention decision. It's 1-person operation.

Khoury and Barrett signed Allan, Flanagan and Hetherington.

The Anderson's signed Napa and Cotric.

The decision to let Jake averillo go will go down in history as one of our worst ever. He has unbelievable abilities that we saw many examples of. Foolish fans forget hes only just turned 23 with his peak level of performance still a few yrs off yet. He will light the competition up under Bennett as his overall game comes together

Would you pay 800k a year for him though?
That's what friends of his family are saying he's on.

Have u got any proof of where they said this

Getting ur hopes up nice and high only to have them shattered again and again must be rewarding for u. Enjoy

Another absolute genius who thinks others can see their messages despite being blocked!

@04 Dreaming Some of us focus on the topics and raise concerns that it's not going to end well. We are allowed to do this.

Whenever people question the narrative they cop a tirade of abuse some even go to extremes. Seems like the yes campaign and that failed miserably despite all momentum.

I will re-post my comments re Connor Tracey.

27 years old. 66 NRL games. 27 Tries.

Jake Averillo is only 23 years old. He's played 78 NRL games. He's scored 31 tries. He's scored 21 tries in the last 2 seasons.

We flicked Averillo who's 4 years younger and already has more games.

People are calling this a rebuild. The signs are there it isn't. We have every right to air concerns.

Averillo should have been a central figure of any rebuild.

The other point I'm raising is the Top 30 roster is currently exhausted. To sign any player for 2024 will either have to involve a reasonable trade or involve another contract being written off as a bad investment. Too many contracts have been written off it's a concern. Again raising points not trolling.

I don't think we have the cap space to write off contracts or RFM be gone by now. RFM isn't gone.

I also raised every signing except for Crichton been unwanted by their former clubs. This is not trolling. This is legitimate concerns.

Does the pursuit of Tracey and the flagging of Burton to centre mean the club is now having some doubt whether Xerri is going be right for 2024?

Signing Xerri for 2 years on top 30 was a massive risk. No other club showed serious interest. Market value 1 year on train & trial or development.

In another thread I raised concerns about Ciraldo's tactics 2 games in a row an outside back went down, both games a specialist 5/8 was on the bench and in both games a forward Topine was thrown to the wolves. Burton both games should have pushed out to the centres as a stop gap. Ciraldo gets a free pass. Topine gets savaged to pieces. Who's got the agendas?

Dude, the thing with Avo is that he isn’t very good. Tracy is very good. The top 30 has not been confirmed; You don’t know the inner workings. Xerri was a superstar and there is no reason why he won’t be again. You don’t know what interest there was in him; How could you possibly know? You are talking shit, as usual!

No one on these forums will have a better source than this regardless what they think about journalists



I would of rather kept Averillo (prefer to keep a junior), but I think Tracey is around the same level too.

Yep 400-500k sounds about right to me

I never mentioned half what you said.
Who says 100 games is the benchmark of ‘experience’? 60-80 games is enough.
Gus did not sign TPJ - was done before he arrived. And so what giving cheapies a crack that you flick if they don’t work? Better than 3 years of FailAgain. The cap has to be in better shape for ‘24 without Thompson and TPJ - provides options. Simples.

 

[King Gus]

You’ve got one pro Gus imbecile just spamming the word “scum” and nothing is done about it. It’s pathetic

Look at you, do you know the full story?
Or your a sook and can’t comprehend what’s going on.

Guy is a complete flop. He claims he can’t see how our roster is stronger for this year than 23 let alone 22 & 21. He’s obviously cooked. He is so obviously a troll account running a negative agenda it’s hilarious. He overplays his hand all the time. He’s not even good at what he does. We have some talented trolls on here. He is not one of them!

 

[NPC83]

Trolls? Is that what u call the handful of members who are bringing the reality, honesty and critical thinking share platter to the party. This place is a zoo. The members abusing, insighting violence and telling others members to kill themselfs should be the ones banned

And who should I speak to about claiming my cut of the ad rev

It’s hard to work out why tigers are freeing up cap space to sign a guy we have already signed on overs isn’t it? Maybe you should jump on their forum and share your inside mail you gave us here.

 

[Magic Burton]

They signed Tom Gilbert for around 600k current Origin player. They have form for not over spending.

 

[King Gus]

We are addressing the topic with an opinion which is literaly the point of a forum. Then theres the others who just abuse and start fights with all of there posts which is apparently ok in ur book? And then theres u who are obsesssing over apprent dupe accounts in every thread which has nothing to do with the topics either. By letter of the law u and ur cronies should be first ones banned

The only topic you have is trying to drive your agenda in every post , you’re trying so hard to put the board and the club down.

Signed 3 years. Upwards of 1.2. That's 400 or slightly less.

Had to get in with a post before his daycare starts

He's a senior manager though, he told us!
Irrelevant that I suspect it is a family business and his Mother put him there effectively as daycare!

 

[King Gus]

So many people boast how you're on block and you still get more replies than anyone.

Every 1 step forward we make we are making 2 steps backwards. This needs to change.

We launched new teams for 2021, 2022, 2023 and now 2024. Why is this team any different?

Why are you here?
From the very first post you had an agenda.

 

[King Gus]

Lol sorry for not monitoring the actions of 1 member out of thousands. How important do u think u are

Lippy? Nah bro just sharing an opinion that id happily share anywhere And do. Lippy ones are the ones abusing constantly, threatening violence and telling multiple members to kill themselfs in various ways. They aint saying those things to anyones face in realiry

And guess what there is 3 of you clowns and the thousands of members that don’t agree with your bullshit. But yet you call us delusional fans .
