2023 Recruitment & Retention Thread

Segeyaro is better

Good moneyball signing for a club with a strong culture. Seems like a bit of a loose cannon to have around our guys.

 

[Frank McWilliams]

Can see us keeping Randall along with Huth for hooker depth.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

I keep thinking a few guys might go for medical retirement - Fitz and maybe Mann.

Fitz’ shoulder a real worry at this point and that issue Mann has sounds very odd.

 

[slotmachine]

Anyone who thinks Mann is on the nose has been living on the dark side of the moon for the past three years, the coach has an unhealthy fascination with him that Mrs Mann should be concerned about.

 

[slotmachine]

Mann has been in the starting side every game he's played with AOB as coach, except against the panthers this year when he was coming back from injury and got 65 minutes at fullback anyway.

I'd say he's more likely to be starting at lock in round 1 next year than getting moved on.

Brown loved him as well, all the coaches seem to.
He is a player that tries very hard and gives it his all and is happy to play any position they ask (including doggy style) which is probably why they like him.
But really he is a pretty ordinary player that's injured all the time, I would rather move him on.

 

[Lefty]

Players to release:

Crossland
Musgrove

Players to shop around:

Gagai
Frizell
Mann
Johns

 

[Beatell]

Any news on the English guys we were meant to be signing?

 

[Warbs]

After today's woeful performance I hope Parr comes in next week with quite a few " thanks for efforts but don't come back", including Gagai. Now we know why he wanted to leave the bunnies, Knights retirement village.

 

[Ethan]

Id be keeping Frizzel.

 

[Fathead Thomas]

I don't know of any young hookers we have ready to go though. As for signing a cheapie, you're not gonna get much better than Randall who's almost played 30 games now and can knock out 80 if we need him to.

Huth in Reggie’s goes good

Apparently he is a very strong trainer, which some coaches value over talent

hard trainer and high talent should both get you in the door. Consistently poor performances after 50 games of first grade should get you out the door just as fast though

Agree totally but AOB seems to think otherwise unfortunately

Yeah trains like an animal, tough as nails, does exactly what the coach tells him to do.

 

[slotmachine]

Been lost in all the excitement about signing Brooks, but are we just forfeiting the season again if brailey gets hurt

 

[Grandpa Joe - Prev Lord]

Segeyaro is better

Yeah 5 years ago.

 

[Beatell]

Except on game day

Max McKinney is reporting in the Herald that he believes Crossland is not far away from having his contract extended with the Knights but some other NRL clubs have expressed interest in him.

Don’t shoot me I’m just the messenger!

Ahhh if Gamble is signed for 2 years why would we need Crossland?

Spots are pretty much full
