I love how we haven’t actually signed anyone, or at least announced anyone, for next year….but out recruitment is shocking.

Still trying to understand how that works.

Iain Thornley
Anthony Gelling
Nathan Mason
Abbas Minski
Danny Richardson
George Williams

With the obvious exception of GW that’s hardly a list to be inspired about. I don’t buy into this cost cutting nonsense either, as others have pointed out; why bring Danson on board?

We might as well keep Lam, what’s the point in appointing a ‘top class’ coach if we’re signing complete dross.

Very Brian Carney type winger.

Powerful with a decent bit of speed and good step.

Makes good yards after contact.

He’s a very modern SL style winger.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Thu Jun 10, 2021 7:40 pm  
We really need to know a couple of things before we criticise or praise these rumoured signings. 1-Are they coming in as starters or as back up (and will mix between first team and reserves)? And 2-what will our final recruitment look like? If it’s the three rumoured lads plus Williams and a couple of props that excite you, then we go ‘fair enough’ but if it’s the rumoured three plus somebody like Richardson and a reserve grade Aussie prop you start to panic.

We can only really judge it properly when we know that.

But yet it's partly what we need and certainly not cost cutting.

Dross is having to keep playing all our back row at centre and continuing to crucify the 5th choice winger, even tho he's a FB and only 19.

I wish we had Minski and Thornley in our squad for the next game.

We have been linked with Solomona Kata too….but that doesn’t get mentioned.

Can’t remember if it was last year or year before we were linked to Christian Welch. It was just before he signed for Melbourne.

There was a bit of a theme on here of who? He’s injured…and when he signed for Melbourne “bullet dodged”.

Probably the best prop in the world.

The knee jerk reaction as soon as any name is mentioned is ridiculous.

Absolutely judge our recruitment when they are recruited and the squad for 2022 is finalised before then slamming our recruitment for next year just simply doesn’t make any sense.

We've also signed Harry Smith up for a few years too.

We missed out big time with Welch. We also got linked with Max King, who despite being injured, is class.

We will be covering our eyes if this lot sign. I'm hopeful that 90% of the stuff you read on forums tends to be untrue.
