(Archived) THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[bort]

Our new coach may have a different view and is willing to offer him a contract (discounted hopefully) and if we have space under our salary cap. I just hope that JMos isn’t considering him to just fill our top 30.

We can hold those for now and fill them with players on develoment contracts partway through the season so no need to rush to fill them

 

[Mr Ryan]

He won us a game in 2017 against Melbourne, the same game he broke his arm.

I can’t remember him doin much from that point on.

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Early in the year? We lost 4 of our first 6 games. The only two we won were versus Parra when Chad scored all the points, and the 1-try penalty-a-thon v Melbourne.

So glad you are here to balance things out.

His form mid-season was very good - but I don't remember him winning games for us other than sealing it with an intercept against Canberra (not long after throwing the ball over the sideline trying to milk a penalty).

What it comes down to is choosing between:
- One more year of Segy and risk losing one of the best prospects in the game, or
- Lose Segy, but blood that young prospect in 2019 ... so that in 2020 he is still a Shark and has some NRL time under his belt.

If my backup hooker is only playing 20 minutes anyway I'll take the young fella and live with a bit of short term pain so that my team is better for the next 5 years.

Also relevant that Young Brails is also apparently a 'dynamic' hooker so may make a similar type of impact off the bench

Mate, don't believe, see if I care.

ILLmac may have got his timing out but Seggy was 100% a factor in us winning games throughout the middle of the season. He had big impact coming off the bench and Flanno started to get him on earlier. He was changing the dynamics of the game

 

[Milkshark]

Also i'm not saying we should keep Seggy and let Blayke go, in fact I think we should let Seggy go.

My point is that Seggy got us out of trouble in a few games with his creativity. He is a solid hooker for another team and I am surprised he hasn't been picked up yet.

Thank you.

I'm very surprised he hasn't been picked up by anyone. He's better than a few of the starting hookers going around & at the very least provides a very solid back up.

Eels, Dogs are 2 that come to mind very quickly.

Agreed mate.

When we talk about attacking flair for hookers, he has be right up the top somewhere.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Must be asking for too much coin. Can't think of another reason.

 

[Milkshark]

Yep I struggle to think of a reason he hasn't been picked already unless its for too much money.

Maybe he makes a guest appearance in one of Napa's videos.

From what I am reading, we are about to find out.

Sounds like it will be a rip snorter.

Jayden Brailey isn't a running type hooker like Segy, I've never seen Blayke play though, heard a lot of good things about Blayke, is Blayke a running type hooker like Seggy or more of a firm one like Jayden & Ennis are?

Jayden is capable of running - he was just doing what his coach asked of him.

Blayke can also run, but he’s more of a “control the ruck and then run a play on a tired forward” guy.
