The Rumours Thread

[TomRedVRiver]

Kasiano is a one trick pony. Has one or two hard runs, makes one half decent hit, then gets tired and leaves the field.
The game is moving away from those 15-20 minute impact forwards with the reduced interchange. We don't need him.

 

[Old Timer]

We need to ensure every forward we look at getting is as fit as the one's we already have and tbh I don't think there are that many to choose from on the open market.
Our fitness and staying power is our strength and we should not compromise that with a 15- 20 minute slug.

Funny how one day we are chasing Lodge and the next day Kasiano (again).
I agree 100% Kasiano is not a playwr we need or should even be talking to same with Lodge.
I'd rather develop our young props because if we don't someone else will.

So i've just done a serious dig into Lodge. He's obviously killing it.

Rd 1 - 93 mtrs, 5 tackle breaks, 1 linebreak assist, 1 try assist from 43 mins
Rd 2 - 142 mtrs, 5 tackle breaks, 2 offloads, 2 linebreaks, 1 linebreak assist, 1 try assist, 2 tries from 63 mins
Rd 3 - 143 mtrs, 1 tackle break, 2 offloads from 57 mins
Rd 4 - 170 mtrs, 4 tackle breaks, 2 offloads from 54 mins
Rd 5 - 138 mtrs, 7 tackle breaks, 4 offloads from 69 mins
Rd 6 - 175 mtrs, 5 tackle breaks, 2 linebreak assists, 5 offloads from 54 mins
Rd 7 - 168 mtrs, 2 tackle breaks, 4 offloads from 57 mins
Rd 8 - 155 mtrs, 10 tackle breaks, 2 linebreaks, 1 linebreak assist, 4 offloads, 2 tries from 62 mins
Rd 9 - DNP
Rd 10 - 145 mtrs, 2 tackle breaks, 3 offloads from 54 mins
Rd 11 - 155 mtrs, 4 tackle breaks, 3 offloads from 56 mins
Rd 12 - 128 mtrs, 9 tackle breaks, 3 offloads, 1 linebreak from 57 mins
Rd 13 - 182 mtrs, 3 tackle breaks, 9 offloads from 73 minutes.

If the club does pick up Lodge, as much as i'd hate it, he does have ability.

Honestly we let AFB go for his indiscretions (rightfully so) to sign this bloke is just plain hypocrisy.

It seems the club has this thing with players who have indiscretions under their watch where there is zero tolerance. Lodge is an outright lunatic and I hope there is no truth to this rumour.

Pump the brakes, they are Intrust Super Cup / Qld Cup stats.

He had a court decision that he must pay $1,234 million dollars damages to the people he attacked. Plus there is no certainty that he will be allowed to play next year

 

[Walpole]

Matthew f**kin Lodge?! This insanity knows no end.

If we sign that useless dickhead I hope Lawrie and Kerr get an immediate release to play for a club that has some idea how to blood the young blokes.

At least some idiot hasn't given him his own thread yet.

Don't we need a bit of animal in the front row?

Otherwise we could get Boy George for next year, don't think any other clubs are chasing him yet!

Outstanding Walpole love your passion.
People can always find a name from outside our club and very rarely from within to fill a spot in our top 17.
They have made an art form out of it.

How do you pronounce the double *?

Haha, you'd have to ask the powers that be at LU. They tend to insert those pesky little asterisks at random into bad words.

One trick pony? You mean run over the top of opposition offload?

Wouldn't want that...

If you seriously think Kasiano is the sort of player we need then you're daft. He's a 20-30 minute "impact" forward with absolutely no motor. He thinks he's a halfback far too often and makes silly mistakes as a result.

Our strength right now is our fitness and discipline, two things that Kasiano lacks.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Kasiano is a George Rose's doppelgänger.

We've gone down this avenue before.

Pass.

 

[dragonssamy61]

Agree no to Kasiano.
With less interchanges you need players who can play long minutes not 5 to 15 per half
