Official THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Signings/Transfers ONLY!!!!

[Sharkfox]

Our pack is big enough. Thomas Hazelton, BHU are large humans. Hunt has the biggest bench in the comp.

We need some controlled aggressive behaviour.

That can be learned, if coached well.

Do we need to bring someone in to work with and mentor our forwards

Gallen (middles) and Lewis (edges) were already on our coaching staff last year weren’t they? And Fifita in some capacity too?

Thats what i thought, maybe need someone with a bit of coaching experience at some level or is aspiring to be one long term.
Tell Hannay to bring Nate Myles down, him and Gal can fire up the pack together haha Qld forwards loved him at camp.

Send Cronk over to be a halves consultant also seeing that roosters dont want him anymore

Should we chase Dearden with the big coin if no AFB. Hoping Hynes has made improvements with game management for 2024 as a halfback, Him and Dearden would be primed for 2025.
Just sort out the forward pack for 2025 next year

 

[Western Sharkie]

Sign a player from another team who wants to go to NZ and then trade him for AFB.

Simple, (like me )

You are ahead of your time Thresher!
Just Brilliant!!!

Dearden would be a good signing but I’m still backing Dykes to be a good NRL player so wouldn’t want to pursue Dearden, unless dykes was viewed as a fb

Maybe have a read on Sharks website of Mooney article . Agree that we certainly need Hynes to improve his game management .

Nine reporting Luai has signed with tigers, 6mil over 5 years.

Have any of them played SOO or are gingers?

Fearnley is a lunatic ginger.

Good luck to them, but I gotta say I'm glad it wasn't us.

Sounds like ludicrous money for him but when you read that they were paying Brooks 1.15m in his last year it doesn't sound that bad. He is definitely 50k better then brooks.

 

[Frenzy]

If he has he now has to tell the Panthers which triggers a window where the Panthers can make their final offer. If they haven't yet. Don't know what they can do other than extend length of contract.

Scary that they had what, about $850-900k to offer Luai. Unlike other clubs they'll probably have less trouble attracting an available marquee player than most and now have free cash.

If anything this year proved they can afford to save money at 5/8.

I think Schneider could work very well for them next to Cleary, not excited at the prospect of them having another big boot on the field though.

I agree with that but the marquee player wouldn't have to be a 6. They can improve at 9 for example. Interesting times ahead

I'm leaning towards star fullback for Dykes potential

Its great how theyre setting up for the future, 2026 and beyond. Still think we need an experienced or gun halves partner for Hynes to go all the way. 2025 is the premiership window for me. All our halves stocks are inexperienced, even Trindall as a starting half.

Imagine if they got Dearden

Was what I was inferring actually.

I honestly wonder if this is the case. If Brooks and Luai swapped sides the last 4 years, I'm not sure we see different results for either side.

Luai has proven that he can be effective as the main man behind a strong pack.

Brooks was never able too

Lots more pieces in that Penrith side to support than Brooks ever had though.
