PLAYER Fletcher Baker

[Waynesaurus]

I hope we didn’t give him too many years.

I believe he is going to be extorting a pay cheque out of us until the end of next year.

 

[Manofoneway]

You’re correct. Our depth is shocking.

We have good depth but they are all injured.

 

[Santa]

2 year deal, so he'll be gone soon.

This is one of the all time rants… it was 4 years ago, and I don’t agree with him all the time but he leant in here and nailed it

There was one moment in the game yesterday where he got tackled and pushed back by 3 metres by someone half his size. He’s just painful to watch. I don’t doubt he’s trying, but just not up to it.

Sorry Kevvie, love you man, but this was not your best moment in footy signing this fella.

I want him to prove me wrong but he just doesn’t.

 

[Allo]

his demeanour and body language on the field is woeful. Really unlikeable player who feels like a lite version of Alex Twal.

Recruitment blunder but they took a punt and thought they could improve him, this guy wouldn’t stand out in a cup game.

Comparatively, I'd kill to have Alex Twal

Wonder if baker is on much less then Palasia would’ve cost to keep

I would love to know the answer to that question, it’s not just looking like a **** up, it is a **** up.

I'd say Fleglers the reason we lost Keenan, he signed with the Titans months before Flegler decided to go Redcliffe. I do think we wanted to keep him.
If the club knew Flegler was going I don't think they let Keenan go so easily and I think Keenan stays with Toms starting spot vacant.

There a player at the bears number 16 he looks exactly what we need good meters from the bench reliable can play long minutes and tackles well he’s tall dude I forgot his name I think the broncos should have a good look at him

Our bench lacks I think either hetho or gowaski got to go

Good point and just points out good old nswrl loving the fact Redcliffe became another team to pilfer us. especially one so close to home.

I think to be fair that is a hard one to compare, Palasia was not even close to the player he was untill after he already signed for Titans, before that he was just a steady average middle.

The only net positive for us this year has been Willison getting more game time, all our new signings have been terrible.

Certainly worrying recruitment decisions.

Good point, full strength our bench is great with Xavier.

Not sure great is the right word. We really need to get more out of Kobe and The Jetski. Willson is the only one really carrying his weight consistently. Kobe is an undersized middle who can't play edge which hurts how we run our bench.

Who's our next batch of forwards coming through in the juniors?

We knew Willison, Piakura and BTK were coming through ages before they hit NRL, but it seems like it's stopped at Te Kura.

We've got no second row depth and the contracted development players are all backs and halves.

Palasia was on the radar for awhile as well, but after we lost him we went after Baker, Hunt and now Gos... usually we would have a junior coming through that we would be giving a chance to instead of looking outside the club for fringe first graders.
