I’m still thinking Sezer from Canberra. Little bit younger than Maloney, could well be a bit cheaper, good kicking game and a running game too. Maybe not Maloney’s outright magic but solid and offers something different to Lui.

Either would be a big upgrade for us. We’ve lost quite a few right games this year, we’re not as far off as it might seem at times.

Sezer would have a similar impact to Hastings which would be superb. Maloney would be ideal and have a Blake Austin like impact but its reasonably short term with Maloney and v expensive. Maloney could possibly do 3 more years at a push.. but it might only be 2.. interesting to see what happens but its clear as hell Myler has to go and we need a big upgrade IF we stay up.

Isn’t Sezer more of a 7 and Maloney more of a 6? A 7 is what we need and been 5 years younger I think Sezer would be a better long term signing than Maloney.

Watched the raiders game this morning and sezer was very very good

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:03 pm  

I'd love us to get Sezer think he be very good in SL and with George Williams going to Canberra one of there halves have to be leaving they currently have Jack Wighton, Aiden Sezer and Sam Williams, they would never get rid or Wighton he a club favourite and Sezer is still under contract by them for next year, I noticed Sam Williams is the half who's off Contract so maybe George Williams is replacing Sam Williams at Canberra and they want to keep Sezer, if we were to go for Sezer we'd have to pay Canberra a fee and wouldn't be that cheap, but if Sam Williams is off contract I wouldn't mind us going for him he's 28 and was very good for Catalans and Wakey over here think him and Lui would be a good halfback partnership for next year personally.

Sam Williams is rubbish.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Mon Jul 15, 2019 9:46 am  

Sam was a bit of a one-trick pony over here - great kicking game but abject in defence as I remember.

I know halves find it more difficult physically on the whole - but my shining example is always Rob Burrow. Heart of a f-g lion and saw him take down much bigger men nine times out of ten through speed, technique and attitude.

The next signing needs to be the head coach. It’s one of the few positions where there is no salary cap, so we should be going for the best person we can possibly get.

Those of us that are old enough remember what a difference Graham Murray made when he came over, we need another like him now and if that means we have to adapt our structure with DoR then so be it.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Mon Jul 15, 2019 9:57 am  

KS has a massive job as DoE without nannying the first team, honestly. The ladies’ game is growing and the Academy oversight is absolutely critical too. Sinfield’s approach and discipline will be invaluable to the more impressionable lads coming through who want to achieve and learn.

There is so much for him to do with oversight of rugby operations I’m sure he would love to hand over the coaching duties to someone of real quality so he can focus on the structures and other personnel.

Hope JJB is retained at the club in some capacity too, he has a lot to offer in player welfare and media promotions.
