Player movements and rumours

  1. cloughie09 TJ Clough

    Thanks a massive signing for south's, surprised to see dogs let him go, must have a damn good reason for it, he was awesome when he came in for Lichaa
     
  2. Julian BJ Taylor

    Any thoughts on Clydsdale from blokes on here?

    Apparently Canberra have signed him and I always thought he was pretty ordinary.
     
  3. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah he's a passable first grade hooker but he's basically just a meh squad player which is I assume what Canberra have signed him us. Will he be in your 25? Don't think he's actually better than Baptiste tbh but he's more consistent I guess.
     
  4. Julian BJ Taylor

    He'll replace Buttriss as back up hooker I think. Will compete with Baptiste for a bench spot. McCrone will be released too so Stuart wanted a third hooker on the books, because he always plays 2 in his 17.
     
  5. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah most clubs have three genuine hooking options in their 25 so with Buttriss and McCrone going it makes sense as long as long as he doesn't end up in your highest paid 17 or so players IMO. 18-25 squad player is his level.
     
  6. morgieb MC Burridge

    Who's gonna be Newcastle's hooker with him gone? A sign that Farah is going there?
     
  7. Julian BJ Taylor

    I think so, if not Levi/Randall.

    But I have thought from the get go that Farah would end up in Newcastle. The only move that makes sense roster wise in the competition.
     
  8. Cribbage RG Cribb

    They had a shitload of hookers there this year; most of them have actually left now but Randell and Levi are both better than Clydesdale IMO and I wouldn't be surprised if Redman went back home now either.
     
  9. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Even more so now that Souffs signed Cook.
     
  10. Alec AD Funkotron

    Apparently Te'o is close to signing with Brisbane. I think he's better than Glenn and Gillett (if he's the same as when he left), but we've got too many back rowers as it is.
     
  11. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    I thought Oates would be due for a move in field in the next season or two as well.


    I could see Alex Glenn in a Warriors jersey too.
     
  12. Magic AJ Parker

    I got a feeling Oates will take Hodges centre position.
     
  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Nah it'll be Copley IMO.
     
  14. Benny BS Read

    Oldfield confirmed - Goodwin resigns think that's wasted cap space imo
     
  15. Alec AD Funkotron

    I think it'll be Kahu.

    Either way, I'd go with both Kahu and Copley in the centres.
     
  16. Alec AD Funkotron

    I think they might take it easy with Oates until he grows more. He's only 20 or something right now, and already had too many injuries with his freakish mutant growth apparently.

    His hands aren't too good for a winger though.
     
  17. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    He has been going too well on the wing, and is only keeping out the likes of Maranta.
    I highly doubt it.
    Or Kahu.
    Even though Reed is a better player than both of them? I really don't know why you hate Reed so much, but he is a better and more complete player than both of the ones you mentioned. Copley needs to learn how to tackle and pass, and Kahu needs to get more involved and not be such a weak, timid player.
     
  18. Fiery GR Smith

    Warriors -> Jeff Robson

    Can't see him getting much game time but hopefully will be a good example to the younger and more talented NZ players in the gym.
     
  19. RyanG R Gee

    Finally!
     
  20. Magic AJ Parker

    Yeh Jeff the bodybuilder Robson
