This.
People whinging some of us don't want anyone but are willing to sign fkn anyone just for the sake of it. Yeah we're aren't seen as the powerhouse we once were, but knee jerk signings like this could potentially fk up the "Warchest" for 2021.
We have some promising young guys coming through like Averillo & Harper, give them some more time. Reimis into Centre and develop Okonbur a lot better options out there.
Stop taking other teams rejects and start to poach upcoming & current stars. If we have to pay a bit more fk it, build it and they will come.
This is probably one of the only rumoured signings ive really been against.
Yeah, can see what you're saying but I just don't think it's realistic considering the position we're in as a club.
We can't attract top players. Full stop. We're unable to offer them a realistic shot at winning the comp, and won't be able to 'sell' that attraction until we're at least getting into the top 8. We're not going to pay top dollar simply because that's what got us into the shit in the first place. Buying players who were simply looking for a bigger contract rather than playing for the team.
The Dogs have plastered it everywhere. We need players with Blue & White blood. We want players that want us. Or need us.
That means no top talent. Sorry. It's as simple as that. We're looking in the bargain shop for damaged goods that can be polished and maybe turned into something decent. Even top jnior talent.
Ramien, a young player many on here were harping on about for a long time, turned us down to go to the Knights. Kicked up a storm there, actively went behind hte club's back for a get out. Underperformed. Wasn't happy. But we went for him. And missed out. Gone to Cronulla for more money, better chance at premiership whatever.
Api. No future at the Warriors. Seemed like he was signed, sealed, and delivered. Went to the Panthers for more money.
We can't attract mediocre players that have potential to become good. Why does everyone think we can and should only target the best?
BJ is our level of player. Simple. Get him for 400,000 and it's a steal. He'll help us get top 8 at the very least and then we'll be in a much better position to target bigger and better players in 2021.
