Until the club announces new signings I assume that it's just rumours. And many players we signed in the past had been in and out of the top grade such as O'Meley, Ryan and Patten. I haven't seen Britt or Stimson play but if they sign with us I'll judge them based on what they do at our club.

But the point remains that they are still only rumours. No use getting worked up about rumours in my opinion.

I remember several years ago when he was at Melbourne he was highly touted but all of these years later and he still hasn't cracked FG which is a worry.

This is not the type of signing that the club needs to move forward. I thought life under Des was bad. This is getting ridiculous. Instead of going after quality backs and spine players, we target Niff Nuff fringe first graders. Very sad times.

This is getting beyond a joke, there needs to be an investigation.. someone needs to be held accountable!!

The fact that we let Burr go simply because we couldn't find a spot for him on the roster and then go ahead and sign fucking Britt is absolutely mental. This club is fucked.

That’s hearsay
I've had it confirmed by someone on here and in person with someone supposedly in the loop so I'll choose to believe it for now. We could've got so much more value out of Burr than paying for other clubs rejects.

You dont go signing Britt and Stimson for Fualalo and Martin or whatever they are doing.

No fucken upgrade whatsoever

There is some very decent/good forwards off contract this year like Welch, Flegler, Burgess, Capewell and these blokes go sign Britt and Stimson.

Fuck me if you cant attract those types of forwards i just mentioned just re-sign Fualalo and Martin on 1 year deals and look into the forwards depth again next year.

This is Britts 5th season since finishing in the Storm's u20s. He has played 7 first grade games in 4 and a half seasons. Sounds like a plodder.

Don't counter me with logic, please. Still showcases the clubs incompetence, they better hope what they're doing with these cost saving measures doesn't backfire for them

They do not know how to recruit

There was definitely space for Burr as they didnt need to sign Sue.

When you replace a player, like for like in a position, you replace him with a better player

What if Britt is a replacement for Saddler and they re-sign Martin? There's still plenty of things up in the air for next year.

Like to hear a rumour of a good quality back we are signing. Not asking for much
