Interesting story on nrl.com about an "in-form" recruit at a Sydney club that is feeling unloved after copping a public rocket from the coach...

"In-form" rules out anyone at Cronulla and limits the contenders elsewhere...

Sifting through the Sydney clubs I came up with DWZ, Moses' (Embye, Suli and debatebly Mitchell), Ferguson, Shaun Lane, Ethan Lowe and possibly Brett Morris...

Based on Madge's reputation and the fact MM was recruited by Cleary (or pre-Cleary, I dunno it's hard to keep up with tigpies recruitment), I would guess young Mitchell is sulking - but is he "in-form"? Maybe, kinda I guess.... Next best guess is Shaun Lane as the grass may not be as green as (and is a lot slimier than ) it looked last year...

Any thoughts/insights on this one ST sleuths?

I don't reckon it would be DWZ as he's not long joined the Dogs & from what I've seen has been putting in for them, plus I dont think Pay is the style of bloke to single a player out for a dressing down in front of team mates.

Mbye was made Captain at Wests Tigers so he would be happy I imagine.

Suli also too happy & playing positively since coming back from injury to be him.

Possibly Mitchell Moses but I don't get a vibe of any disharmony at the slime so also dont think its him.

Ferguson playing too well (apart from that 1 woeful game as centre) for Arfur to haul him over the coals.

If anyone I reckon it could be Latrell Mitchell.

No idea on that one FS. What surprised the shiit out of me was RCG is on a five year 900,000 contract. Ever since he grew that ridiculous 70s porn-stache he’s been useless.

Did you see Luai come in with the swinging arm from behind at Bateman in the fracas that ensued when another Canberra player hrew the ball at RCG's head after a bad tackle?

I hope the MRC picked up on that & he's been punished for it. The nine commentators all said something about it during the replay.

It's an in-form signing (not in-form team). Most of those guys you mentioned aren't in form.

Here are the 2019 signings:

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nr...s/news-story/5fb11dade926db640d773c81124bb849

So from the Sydney clubs I'd guess:

Corey Harawira-Naera (most likely)
Corey Norman
Angus Crichton (is he in form though?)
or Ryan Matterson

Hmm, the article didnt specifically say it was a 2019 recruit, just that it was an in form recruit but perhaps you're right in thinking that...

Ever since he broke his face, the confidence is gone.
He needs a change of scenery desperately.
Someone like Dessie....wink, wink.

900k is madness though.

CHN has been great in amongst a pretty shiit house team. I don’t know what coin he’s on at the Dogs, he’s certainly putting in.
I’d go with storeman Norman, just on his past history of being a priick.
 
Crichtons last few games have been okay and Robinson certainly has given him a rocket or two this year

haha yeah Norman would have been my go-to if that CNH thing didn't happen. But I remember when it happened it seemed very odd...

Old news if it's Mitchell Moses and Tigpies ;)
 
Well, at least we know its not LG. I mean, the words "in form" rule him right out.

Not that he'd be a happy camper though. But he's got no one to blame but himself.

Signing him for FIVE years! And they want to move him out after ONE year?
Whoever is the recruitment manager at The 'Riff should be the person moved on.
Is The 'Riff going to pay $400,000 per season for the next four years as a contribution to the club that signs him? That club will have to agree to a four year term, and I think that's also madness.
I think The 'Riff will be stuck with him, unless the Titans continue with their stupid recruitment and agree to another dud deal.

What do you think of the NRL posting rumors like this? Is it the place for the games website to be posting glorified click bait?

It's odd. They gain short term with traffic but what's the long term benefit to the league?
