Player Market?

[BraveTheWorld]

I don’t think Smith wants to share the role that’s why he’s leaving Melbourne

Yep, which is the primary reason I think it's highly unlikely we'll get him or probably go after him at all. I really do think he's a better Lock anyway.

[Vasco]

Tapine would be a good buy if we can pull it off!

Yep. We need someone like him.

A couple of good edge forwards are desperately needed. Very thin in this area. A decent winger would be handy.

[stringaz]

Geez, pangai would have a JWH type target on his back if he played for us, probably 10x more. I'd actually take the albatross (finuacane) but he's 29? I'd be into the cheese but we are polar opposites, us and the strom. His effectiveness would be blunted imo.

Still a dangerous player.

I reckon the Chooks should go after that Pommy frontrower Walmsley

Dale Finicune and the block of cheese if he would rotate between Rads and Sam . He wont but would be nice .As mention Tapine from the Faiders but please Mickie not Duges

[The Thracian]

Katoa from the Warriors is pretty bloody good

[bondi.boy]

What do we need, who is available? Who do we throw the book at?

lets face it, we have lost a shit load of players for next season, forget these nuffiescon 360, we have cash in the coffers to go big.

my number 1 target is The Cheese, you get attack, defence and intensity with this bloke, 80 min player, Sammy is solid but not in Smiths post code.

we need a no nonsense front rower to assist Collins and take the workload off JWH and SST, someone in their mid twenties, our young blokes just have not stood up IMO

one more backrower to add some impact off the bench, someone that can break the line not just tackle.

Tevita Pangai, esp with the Broncs paying half his salary, i have no doubt Robbo would get the best out of him

but the Cheesecis a must.

We missed Townsend.
We missed Lodge.
There's no one much left to buy, only Pangai, and apparently he's not wanted by the club.
Players we have now are who we'll be having next season.
Best of luck to us.

We don’t need Brandon smith. We already have Radley and that is the position Smith will head to in the next few years. We need to carefully bridge the capability gap we have with Cords, Friend, BMoz all suddenly retiring whilst players like Tupes, JWH and TKO are slowly declining. This is natural but it has happened to quickly for our younger players to be ready to succeed them. We need to put in place some temporary fillers to allow the young blokes to continue to develop and not have the shit knocked out of their confidence in the process.

He’s is leaving Melbourne so he can play 9.

[The Marshall]

Yes he is leaving to be a 9 but he will end up a lock.

[mightyrooster]

Our inexperienced and return from injury players are getting bashed week after week. It doesn’t do the youngsters confidence any good and to place the responsibility on them as the future is unfair. The club hasn’t paid big money for players since the Maloney and Jennings era. The bargain basement mentality and questionable upgrades on contracts is a real concern.

Teddy, Angus? Neither came cheap.

[Thirteen]

Yes he is leaving to be a 9 but he will end up a lock.

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.

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