Player Market?

[stringaz]

Corey Norman on 1 month deals could work?
Blokes got talent, just cbf

Oof, see yourself out

Oof, see yourself out

A slight improvement on lam & Hutch...but that's about it. We are missing one quality depth half though...considering sam walker is unlikely to get though a full season.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Needs: lots & lots...like
1 more prop ?
1 more backrower: Tapine or Katoa
1 backup half: ?
1 more experienced outside back: ?

I would take Lachlan Lewis , as a bench utility who can play every position, has skill and size and plenty of guts.

[The Marshall]

I reckon he won’t. At least for his next contract he will be 9. He’s not leaving a top side like Melbourne to play for another club in a position he doesn’t want to play in. He has stated he wants to play 9. He will make this clear to his new club no doubt. And he is that good he can make such a request/demand.

Yes I don’t disagree he will make the request and he is definitely good enough at the moment, I just don’t know whether we would eventually end up with 2 smaller style
locks if did get him. Nice problem to have I guess if it ever did eventuate which I think is unlikely. Unlikely because the main reason I think he is leaving a top club is how much money he can get not where plays.

Teddy, Angus? Neither came cheap.

Time they started earning their Roosters money.

So would I.
And Pangai and Smith.
Verrills could play centre, FB, halves, wing.
We were thrashed 0-46.
We did not score one point in the whole game.
We were bashed, smashed, and trashe d.

I see it purely as a game management issue. When Radley plays first or second receiver he squares up the defence and lets Walker play wider. The opposition cannot get away with such a compressed defence as they did on Friday night.

Also, Hutch's big boot was sorely missed. If you want to avoid a cricket score then tackle 1 needs to be inside the opposition 30m not on the halfway line as per Lam's pathetic kicks.

If we can keep all our players on the field then I am expecting us to beat the Eels in a few weeks time. That game will show us where we are really at.

My current wishlist:

End of 2021 season: renew contracts
End of 2022 season: one of Fisher-Harris, Saifiti, or Welch
End of 2023 season: To'o, Grant

Above is based on my thinking that we'll:

1. lose JWH, Liu, and SST from our pack rotation, either through retirement or to new clubs
2. Morris will retire
3. Verrills won't overcome injury and the like.

The retirement of Cordner etc has probably brought forward by a couple of years our post-premiership refresh imo.

If we are clearing the decks and based on zero info i will throw out a name of a player that we could use and vary his role a little....welcome JT

I think they are in talks with club legend Mitchell Paul

Keen to hear what people think about these possible options for next year that haven't been mentioned yet:

Tyrone May (backrow, 5/8th, and centre) - very versatile, comes from a great system.

Jaydn Su'A (backrow) - plays on the edge and has a great offload

Connor Watson (hooker, lock, 5/8th) would love to see him return, adds speed.

Bryce Cartwright (second row) - played well this year and could be a good cheapie.

Scott Sorensen (second row) - rock solid last night for the Panthers.

Dean Hawkins (halfback) - another option in the halves.

Anthony Milford (fullback; 5/8th) - risky yes but experienced and could regain some form at a cut price.

Conner Watson at 14 would.be great for us be we wouldnt be paying what sort of money he will get elsewhere

What's happened to the extra $350k for Boyd? If the Chooks don't use it this year can it be carried forward and used next year?

They gave it to Lammy for playing such good footy. With his extra cash he wants to take the Hateful 10 out for a drive up to Warragamba Dam area to Jock Rosses house where they all have their penises cut in half, Look I undertand that cutting penises in half is pretty rough when some of the Hateful 10 already look like they have had their penises cut in half before but rest assured Jock has a super powerful magnifying glass & extra small tweezes. Dont be scared Roc
