Who could it be now?

[Mark from Brisbane]

Was it cronk and watmough? I think there was one about those two swapping places in maybe 2009 end of season. But I remember one specifically that we used to try and trip up the media specifically because of how they were using the site

Now you’re talking

I thought it was circa 09-10

Yep I’m sure that was it , hilarious at the time as there was a headline story in the Telecrap at the time and we all celebrated knowing exactly where it had come from.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

OK forget Origin stars, Mick Cronin, U2 and the Mentals.
Can we please, please... please! try to sign ... Tyson Smoothy!

That is all, carry on.

 

[Vyssini]

@Vyssini mentioned on the signings thread that our club is rumored to be deep in discussions with another clubs Origin player...

Who could it be now?

I'll start... we NEED a 9 but Cook, Friend and Grant are out and McCullough just signed... hmm mm...

DES loves a good forward and we are not overly blessed with edge forwards so I am going to go with...

Nathan Brown

We have a winner!!!! Come on down Frank Stokes.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

We should go after Ryan matterson the guy is one of the best 2nd rowers in the comp. Ditch Sironen and throw some dollars at Matto. Nathan brown has that fire we need but id prefer old mate easy

Agreed. Will never happen but

 

[frank stokes]

Hope we get him @Vyssini... we need some forwards with big motors... our current ones are like 1.2L...

Rothfield article has just confirmed this.. Wonder if he got it from here

This may well be the end of the road for a couple of players if we land Brown.

Siro and possibly Marty to free up the coin, hopefully the club understands we need coin free to sign Schuster long term.

Siro has to be on the chopping block. Our back row currently is very weak. I’d have Davey starting.

Schuster has to be the highest priority and if Brown comes you’d imagine Jake would shift to Front Row.

But again it doesn’t solve our back row issues.

 

[Vyssini]

Crappy thread.
Wasting everyone’s time and probably a nothing rumour.

 

[master blaster]

Dont forget how he played St George, how his manager was putting it around that he was offered big money to go to them, and they werent even interested in him, hadnt even approached him. I hope I am wrong

No keep Marty get rid of Siro & Jake our most overrated player.

I have been a Marty fan for a long time, his attitude doesn’t seem to be like it was.

Agree with Jake it’s been awful to watch him slip from where he was as a player, finished 2020 poorly and 2021 started where he left off.

Like many on here would like to see Jake hit the ball up and look for an offload, far to often he is looking for a quick play the ball and is easily tackled by the opposition.

Swap Sirro for Brown next year. Let's piss into the wind and change the angle by 1 degree...big farking difference that will make with 3.4M spent on 3 players who contributing value is about 500k.
There is so much wrong within this roster, coaching and probably club that I honestly don't know where to start...so I won't.

There is no will, heart or desire from a group that are capable of 10 times what they are producing. There is something catastrophically amiss.
It's waaayy past time to get rid of almost everyone involved and start fresh. That won't happen so sit back and witness what it is like to be an also-ran team for a long time.
I think it's time I take up fishing.

 

[Cochrane]

29 next year...I dunno, if he is all we can get then so be it

 

[frank stokes]

Frankie boy!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day KW

UPDATED: Melbourne star Brandon Smith has denied reports he is prepared to “buy his way out” of his contract with the Storm in order to join an NRL rival that is prepared to let him play starting hooker.

Smith took to Instagram to deny the story, posting “hey guys, this isn’t true. I’d rather spend the 200k on golf lessons if anyone can help me out”.


This is obviously a message to uncle nick to help him out!!!!
