Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Canterbury moving on Burton and apparently looking to sign Brimson or Kini…. Two guys I like a lot … They are always looking to work that squad to improve… you simply cannot rest on your laurels … Unfortunately our unwanted guys are hard to move on …

Interesting post here on tigers forum saying bulldogs are moving Burton and looking to sign Brimson or Kini. There were links between Ponga and bulldogs recently so I wonder if bulldogs are putting their feelers out for a top fullback? Kini was signed to a big contract before Hannay got there, they could be gauging the interest between Brimson and Kini still having too many fullbacks and prepared to let one go?

Have another read - The guy is guessing and didn't even know they were contracted.. Wishful fans rather that actual rumours there.

No way Kini or Brimson are going anywhere. Campbell is the guy without a long contract, Hannay hasn't even moved in yet. Plenty of water to go under the bridge.

Ponga rumors won't go away, Dogs the latest in a long list, no substance yet. If he moves, I think it will be 2027. He's such a prima dona that guy, he's not delivering for his team on and off the park.

Is Connor Tracey contracted or are they moving him on? He'd be a good get. Saw rumors of Crighton to FB

I wouldn't mind him I know he's not the best ball player but not all fullbacks are going to be Ponga or Walsh in that regard. Tracey has done some nice ball work when needed.

He would be nice even to provide some pace from the back.

Cleary did have to work hard to get a 40/20 as Tracey was positioning himself well. Which is pretty high praise.


I was watching Paul Kents Kenty Blitz** podcast and his co-host mentioned the Cowboys cap was a mess and one player potentially moving on could be Drinkwater. You'd expect he'd be on of their non negotiables that they need to keep and build the team around.
**Pretty sure it was from this.

We'd be amazing with Drinkwater at the back lol

Think we’ve offered him a contract in the past?
