I'm scratching my nuts and I'm none the wiser also.This is disgraceful. One of our worst recruitment announcements. So let me get this right, we have a supposed war chest and we decide to sign a player we let go years ago, who’s a journeyman for a reason whilst is also now 34 years old and just had a serious injury the answer to get us off the bottom of the ladder?? Of all the ex players we could have brought back and Green is who we get!!!! I’m scratching my head.
Also factor in that Barrett got him going in 2017 at manly I really don’t see the uproar I know we all expect big splashes but I think this is a smart signingBang on.
He's also someone Barrett won't have to worry about, while he focuses on Wakeham or BBO to see if either can be a first grader.
The other huge thing people are forgetting is that we need to get some leadership in there, you can't just have young blokes. We're losing Foran and apparently Tolman, like them or not, that leaves a leadership vacuum.
Who would you have signed?And the thing you're all forgetting is that he's fucking shit. Where's this shit c*** going to lead us, the fucking toilet??!
Yeah I think you are right mate looks like a few will be let go end of this year and then a few more end of 2021. I also suspect there is more signings and the Green one was only announced as he’s done for the season with no contract for next year so they can announce it without too much concern for others. Foz to Manly is fairly obvious. He’ll get his multi year deal there as he’s strung together a few games now. Shame we couldn’t get the best of him.It would seem Foz has a deal elsewhere if he’s knocked back one year and with Cogger apparently leaving we need a placeholder. There’s just not much out there and I’m sure they tried a few different options before settling on Green. Still other pieces of the puzzle to fill in, I suspect Baz is well aware he’s not going to get his preferred squad for 2021 and will build it over the next two seasons - we’ve only got 7 locked in for 2022 so expect another exodus end of 2021.
Absolutely and if we have 2 halves that are performing better he can be tapped on the shoulder and no big dealAlso factor in that Barrett got him going in 2017 at manly I really don’t see the uproar I know we all expect big splashes but I think this is a smart signing
I hope that's the plan. Sign Burton for 2022 and then hope/pray Penrith release him early. If not, Green is our backup plan if we cant get Burton.Would rather Foran... but wow... can we sign Burton for 2022 and then pressure Penrith to release him next year? Lewis & Green as halves is still going to be very painful next year. Maybe with a good hooker & fullback that could mitigate things a bit..
Mate it doesn’t matter how much money you’ve got when there’s very few players available. AND - if we overpaid again like we did on Foran we get ourselves back into the same situation. This is part of emerging from the pain - the cap is fixed for 2021, the coaching sorted, now have to keep the money ready to snare the talent as soon as they’re free.This is disgraceful.

Someone young with a future like Lam, Johns, Trindall... Basically anyone that hasn't done their ACLWho would you have signed?
smoke a J and relaxI don’t care if we got this guy for $1. If we have any aspirations to be a top quality team it’s not going to be with a 34 year old journeyman coming off a knee reconstruction.
So many players break contract, why isn’t we can’t get Burton? We let go of players so easily yet can’t seem to do it in our favour for a change. What’s happened to this club. I’m livid
Proves the incompetence of the club signing a player at 34 so soon. Should have waited to see if he could play out the yearIts a one year signing that was made before he ruptured his ACL. Freak accident otherwise it wouldve a well thought out signing. Why is everyone losing their shit as if we signed up after we found out he got injured?
He didnt rupture his ACL because of his age mate.Proves the incompetence of the club signing a player at 34 so soon. Should have waited to see if he could play out the year
