Official - Myles signs with Titans

[Pass the Ball]

Perhaps he has some habits that are not looked on favourably by the club and that we will be better off without him in the long run...

[Cockadoodledoo]

I reckon he got lucky on his debut.

Didn't look too flash if you ask me.

You laugh at some of the things the club does yet you suggest to sign this bloke.

This kid had massive wraps before the game from good judges.. I had been told ages a go he was something special.

Nice list Vascoe, however I would think half of the list are on over $200K. And the other half are young guys who will be getting topped up shortley. Payne may be a middle age player that is on 200, but has really only stepped up this year.

I think its a poor decision in the skeem of what we are holding onto. I am prepared to be wrong, however we need a good signing with the spare 400k.

the 'cheap backrower' idea has some strength imo. as others have pointed out, guys like heighington are on double 200k so your list is a little over done. the reality is that the best chance of having these sorts of players is bringing them through the system. Arona and Goodwin are the 2 we have to choose from to try and develop into that role. We will get a good idea of the capabilities of one of the two on the weekend and the other is going gang busters in the 20s and will only get better. If we do go on the open market looking for this sort of player, bringing plum back would not be a half bad move. fulton, plum, lowrie and miller are all options. Fulton and lowrie dont provide the go forward that we need from lock so plum or miller are probably the only 2 option so either of those would be a decent pick up particularly miller considering he can also play as a prop ala daniel conn. that said, i will only call that a good move if we use the additional proceeds from getting rid of myles to secure a good prop. gibbs is the best of those on the open market although we will have some competition for his signature particularly from cronulla who have had their frontrow decimated

You think Heighington is on $400K ?

LOL

They don't pay overs for their players.

Name me a player on that list that would be over $250K.

your kidding yourself if you think heighington is on anywhere near 200k. the point you are also missing is that for guys like merrin, houston, fensom, buhrer who have just burst onto the scene, not only are they about to have contract up grades in that region but more importantly, we would have to pay at least that to secure their services. houston is the only one i would be looking at along with maybe bolton

I wish Nate all the best for his career with the Titans - yet another 'lifestyle' choice by the player who came to us in the first place for the same reason - lifestyle.

And if we are honest, we only see the best of Nate up to Origin time anyway. His form dropped markedly each year after Origin 3. Whether that's tiredness or injury I'm not sure.

Not that he still doesn't put in, but there's a lack of spark from the bloke in the back half of each year.

I won't pretend that I'm cut that he's leaving - I was never a fan of him being signed by the Roosters in the first place.

But he's performed better than most of our other recent imports so I give him credit where it's due and send him off with my blessing - such that it is.

Nate was the best of the Dog shit we got on our boots. Which isn't saying much.

Unfortunately some of that shit will still be on our boots in 2012.

[Guest]

what a fking period in our history being besotted by the historical anachronism of the unpunished Dogs cap rorting side of 02 that pipped us in 03 to the extent that we had to try and sign them all

[Guest]

Says in the herald today that the Titans have sadly ruled out signing Watts

Maybe Osborne will take him off our hands

Exactly what I thought Roz. I couldnt think of any of them who would come to the Chooks for 200k, and half are already on 250-300K

Some great young players there who we'd probably more realistically have to pay some overs for... like we did with Nate in 07. But then what we take all their erratic inexperienced performances with the good ones and release them as they're entering the age when all good forwards start to peak.

What's the point?

Some dont get it 6. Nate is 24 and we release him to the Goldie and he plays the best football he ever will against us. We did the hard yards with Nate and about to reap the rewards.
