[Resurrected] Garrick general news thread

[Rocky]

I suspect this has been covered somewhere recently. So apologies if that is so - but can someone tell me who would be making these recruitment calls right now?

Is it Mestrov solely?
Is it Mestrov and Flanagan and Seibold?
Some other combination?

 

[Disco]

I'd imagine it is Mestrov with Seibold being consulted

 

[Pittwater Legend]

I’m surprised but elated with this news. I see Garrick as the type of player who could win a premiership. It’s great to see that the club actually fought hard to retain a player like this

 

[40 nil]

He wouldn’t make no top 8 side.

IMO, Garrick would defintely make 2022 top eight sides. I would prefer him over six of these wingers that played in the finals.

Panthers - To'o & Staines
Sharks - Mulitalo & Tracey
Cowboys - Feldt & Tualagi
Eels - Sivo & Blake
Storm - Coates & Nofoaluma
Rabbitohs - Johnston & Milne
Roosters - Tupou & Suaali'i
Raiders - Rapana & Cotric

Great, signing another over rated plodder to a long term contract !

Hold your fingers, warriors, was just sarcastic 🤣

Let's hope he plays more wing than fB though.

 

[Ben]

Anyone know how much we are paying for him?

The club has made its intentions clear with Garrick by signing him until the end of 2027. He is the only player on our books signed through 2027 so far .......

He's going to be playing center. Obviously , like the rest of the known world, Seibold sees no future in a Harper/Parker center pairing.

It happened, great news. 👍

As long as he isn't filling in for a blown Turbo, he can play wing, center or half.

Hopefully not overs.

 

[Rosko]

The word is “centre”. This ain’t NFL.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Dymock's ..... well read.

Very clever

I have him over at least 8 of those players, and that's without factoring in his Goal kicking.
Hopefully he's just as good in the centres. He's a class above Parker and Harper in my opinion

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Garrick has the speed that we need in the centres. Between Koula and Garrick we have speed to burn. He needs to work on his defence but my tip is he will excel at centre. A long overdue move and why Des kept persisting with two slow centres is beyond me.

Please God no. If Turbo blows another gasket next year then this place will go into meltdown.

Brace yourself , it’s a high probability.

Yep, his defence is the key. Get that right and we have a very competitive backline.

Tom's just about injured everything in his body by now, so maybe all the patch ups will make him stronger in 23.

I understand that they have pumped ferro cement into his skeletal frame. They’re not sure as yet what impact that might have on his speed.
