Patty Carrigan ... the pass that he laid on for Willison's try tonight was halfback-esque
I don't like the idea of going for Sexton, just seems like getting a player while they are on a rich vien of form rather than their abilityAnyone else think the club should just sign Ben Hunt for one season from 2025-2026. It would give Black two full seasons in Qcup. Hes the same age as Reyno but had alot less injuries.
Probably less of a gamble than someone like Sexton and even 80% Hunt is better than Madden.
A player with a prodigious schoolboy pedigree takes until his 30th game to click at halfback in relatively shit systems and it’s just a rich vein of form rather than ability? At the end of the day he is a good enough halfback to keep a far less talented side than ours in the upper echelon of the competition regardless of your ability to patiently wait for players to click at this level that is the facts.I don't like the idea of going for Sexton, just seems like getting a player while they are on a rich vien of form rather than their ability
If we can't get Walker then this Idea doesn't sound bad at all tbh, it's putting alot of Faith in Black coming good but he does seem a bit better then the other 7s at his age.
As nice as that might be we really aren’t.Broncos are signing Moses.
Meh, at one point no one thought we would get Reynolds either.As nice as that might be we really aren’t.
This forum was so happy after we signed reynolds. It was like Christmas right Santa?Meh, at one point no one thought we would get Reynolds either.
Every new Halfback for the last 10 years has been talked up as if they are special because in reality there is one good one every 3 years or so at best.A player with a prodigious schoolboy pedigree takes until his 30th game to click at halfback in relatively shit systems and it’s just a rich vein of form rather than ability?

Sure he could very possibly lose that form just as quickly as he got it but that’s entirely based on him struggling (as all inexperienced halfbacks do) in his first season or two worth of games.
3 players are in the convo Walker (pipe dream), Black (nowhere near ready) and Sexton (could very well go either way).
As much as Sexton is probably enjoying his time at the Dogs, Mitch woods is a gem and the Dogs will likely chuck him in a bit premature. At the end of this contract if there is a starting spot at Brisbane available with our roster, back in his home state and with blokes he grew up playing footy with, he is probably going to look at it very closely. The roosters lack in its entirety a long kicking game. Sam Walker is a good player and would suit our attack but we need a general more than we need a bloke to add some potency.
I could very easily see Sexton going the way of Croft/Madden but I think in terms of who best suits what we need, without breaking the bank and having tremendous potential whilst also not provoking Black into an immediate release cause his future here is gone it’s Toby Sexton.
Sexton for mine. Titans were the envy of the comp and us when they picked him up.
P.S. don’t mind balancing out the squad with an ugly **** that actually has to be a good footy player to pick up chicks on the weekend.
