Nu Brown, barely made it to April

Ha! Such has been the turmoil this year I'd completely forgotten about him. The start of the season feels like about 3 years ago.

Dan just posted another article on Sezer. it surprised me he's averaging 60 run metres per game this year, perhaps he will play more as the running 6 and Abdull the organising 7?

Fully aware of the fans reaction Dan doing his best to put a positive spin on the signing. He's trying his best but I get the feeling that he's far from convinced as well.

And I thought 2024 recruitment was bad

Exactly that Dan tells it how it is on match day and isn’t afraid to give players poor ratings. But when it comes to signings he has to toe the line of positivity, but I suspect that’s becoming increasingly hard.

Don't judge just yet wait until it's completed

Disappointed but not surprised with this signing. Guess it shows where we are as a club. We've tried and failed to sign Sailor and Lam and who knows, maybe had other targets who have turned us down too.

On the plus side, he's been a regular in the NRL this year and his stats are decent plus he's not Drinkwater.
Again not mouthwatering but Sezer, Abdul and Cust are certainly an upgrade on Trueman, Morgan Smith and Nu Brown.

Now let's see if this marquee signing will be made as Myler has promised.......

As I’ve said all along I can’t see us signing anyone of any note. Scrapping the barrel, which is a consequence of where we are as a club.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Thu Aug 29, 2024 3:12 pm  

Any guesses who'll be the final quota signing?

I'll go for Carlos 2 year extension!

Whoever it is I just wish they'd just announce it now to put us out of our misery.

Can we afford a marquee signing?

To be fair, what Dan says is right, Wests have looked alot better with him playing and he has had a decent season, think the issue is he will be 34, so not exactly long term planning which we need and isn't much of a runner anymore, think him and Abdul are too similar, if we had signed Seizer and say Will Pryce then it would have been OK.

Certainly has a better season than Sullivan and Asi who most would have been happy with, maybe they are more of a style we needed.
