"Honestly, what for?
What's the point of getting rid of Cartwright or managing out Matterson to get in this plodder? For cheap depth, maybe? But he seriously offers no real value or point of difference for us."

"He looks good, I love his passing game, but he's no better than Ryley Smith and probably doesn't help us on the bench as 14 because he only covers 1 position."
"We have always been rubbish with the 6pm Sunday Match......this aint gonna be any different...back to the bottom SMH"
"Yeah, I feel like their Westfields Coach has lined up a package deal with Galvin and DaSilva which is why the Dogs are suddenly putting pressure on Mahoney? They do have Bailey Hayward there who I thought was their longer-term preference for hooker?"

If premiership winning players become available they are always well worth looking at.
I don't think people realise how important having that type of experience at a club especially a so called development club actually is.
These players have been part of systems that have won the big dance with first hand knowledge of the work required and the commitment to be able to take advantage of that opportunity is priceless.
Why do you think the dogs are doing so well, they bought premiership winners, albeit winners on the up.
They purchased 5/6 premiership winners that turned around the standards of that club , brought an attitude that young blokes can replicate.
NFL clubs chase players with rings no matter the position they play so that winning culture can rub off on his current squad.
Often its not the flashiest of players that turn around the fortunes of a club but the collective effort of hard working players that just do their job no excuses.
amen to that.
The fox & Dylan Walker have won on the biggest stage. We can see what they bring on the field but its the stuff at training that majority dont see.
Elite defenders in the NRL are at 90+ % efficency. Garner is at 89.4% efficiency.
I would much rather seesome juniors get a chance than sign an aging average at best player lke this. I would also like to see Williams be moved to an edge. I think though form teh reading the aricle we were only interested for shorter than the three year offer he seems to have received elsewhere so mabye R&R were not completely dumb
The perfect mix is premiership experience and youngsters with talent. We have a bit of each but not enough.
Problem with this recruitment tactic of investing only in jnrs is you develop a player only to see that player bought once they get some exposure. We struggle to compete when it's not a fair fight.
The elephant in the room are TPAs and that's why we have struggled to attract talent and keep the better juniors.
From where I sit, the only way to get ourselves out of this mess is finding fans or investors with deep pockets, until then we will never be a consistent premiership force.
By all means, let's develop the talent, you can find the diamond, but my fear is we always seem to do it for the benefit of other clubs and not ours when it matters most.
he might be ok for 1 year, can cover centre & a edge, but no more then 1 year but, I'd rather promote our juniors. There's some good ones coming thru.
How depressing. This is all we can announce or rumoured!
WHY ARE WE EVEN AFTER HIM FOR? WE SACKED HALF OUR OLD FORWARD PACK, 3 OF THEM MID SEASON NOW WE ARE AFTER ANOTHER FORWARD PAST IT. GO AFTER JUNIOR NSEMBA!!!!!!!! WHY ARE PUTTING LUKE GARNER IN FRONT OF OUR JUNIORS
WHY ARE WE EVEN AFTER HIM FOR? WE SACKED HALF OUR OLD FORWARD PACK, 3 OF THEM MID SEASON NOW WE ARE AFTER ANOTHER FORWARD PAST IT. GO AFTER JUNIOR NSEMBA!!!!!!!! I would rather put the second row player that played in U19 origin last night, for next year
If the the tigers are willing to keep Heath mason at five eight with Jarome Luai at half, we should try and go hard after Latu Fainu, he has an option to leave if his path is still blocked.
according to my old mate ChatGTP Luke Garner is known known for ;
* Line running & Support play (running off the hip of play maker)
- made 5 line breaks, had 3 line break assists
- score 3 tries
* defensive Reliability
* Work Rate
- ave running meets 86 / 9 runs
- ave tackles 18 per game
* Versaility
- play edge, middle & centre
* Attitude & Professionalism
- reportedly low maintenance & team first player
you cant discount hes won 2 premierships at Penrith, he knows his role and how to win. at only 29 could be this gens Beau Scott.
