Hands off you low merkins

Hey you stole Api, merkin

Stop hogging all the outside backs

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

I wish but he is contracted to 2016 at the Panthers.

Only posting because I heard it twice, and seems a bit of an odd rumour to go around especially if he has a contract

Their is a thread on one of the Rabbitohs forums just talking about his performance in NSW cup on the weekend. I reckon that's set off a chain of Chinese whispers.

We will let you have Wes Naiqama, even throw in the cab fare to Redfern if you like.

Waqa Blake > Souths

No chance we will let him go.

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah and we will probably re-sign him for longer any day now. Talks have started

 

[BranVan3000]

Would it really be surprising when you guys have Mansour, Idris, DWZ, the Jennings boys, Whare, Moylan,
Naiqama bros, Nabuli.. I'm probably forgetting some too

You are right in that some of those mentioned will eventually have to look elsewhere for FG spots. I think the Naiqamas, Nabuli and maybe even George Jennings will struggle to crack a regular FG spot for us. For Dallin, Waqa and Robert Jennings it is seemingly just a matter of time, those last three are super talents.

IMO the order of priority should be something like:

Dallin(Fb)
Waqa(Centre)
R Jennings(Centre)
G Jennings(Centre)
K Naiqama(wing)
Nabuli(wing)

Why do you think we signed Mansour so late? We have players coming through we have to keep.

Wes is gone this year. Nabuli more then likely is gone. Idris will finish his contract with us in the backrow. DWZ might be going on the Mormon mission. Whare is our only certain back in the short term

Naiqama brothers, Nabuli probably wont be around beyond 2015. Wes, as Franklin said is definitely gone and Nabuli may not be retained with a decent sized offer from a QLD team and ESL. Along with that I wouldn't be surprised if Kevin Naiqama is let go a year early given his lack of production.

Idris is destined for the backrow.

Mansour is contracted for 2 years and after that may move to backrow as well or to another club if too expensive.

Moylan's future is in the halves.

So could be:
1. DWZ, 2. W.Blake, 3. R.Jennings, 4. Whare, 5. G.Jennings

From my understanding, hearing along the lines of Franklin, he re-signed last year but talks underway to extend that further.

 

[Puntastic]

Basically going to post what Mick said.

At some point, some good guys are going to go, and not everyone will be happy with those choices. Luckily we've got at least until 2016 to see how things progress. And things can always change. With such a promising crop of juniors, this was always going to cause some headaches.

Moss was the other one who I was going to say might be able to get a gig elsewhere.

 

[betcats]

So could be:
1. DWZ, 2. W.Blake, 3. R.Jennings, 4.Whare 5.G.Jennings .

That backline is what dreams are made of.

 

[Puntastic]

Is there a chance Blake would leave to pursue a centre position elsewhere given the chance?

I imagine not given that Jennings obviously has priority and the possibility of him extending his contract has been mentioned, he must be happy playing wing?

Yes, that backline would be f**king incredible the way these guys are coming on.

 

[stormbati]

Jennings should have taken the Storm offer couple years ago. Hope another offer comes. We'll swap Fonua

 

[tigersbaby]

I heard the tigers are in talks with Ikahihifo and Toka Likiliki, anyone else heard this?

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

That backline is what dreams are made of.

Yeah. Pipedreams.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

I cringe when I imagine rabs commentating a tigers backline play

 

[Swarzey]

Toka Likiliki

You can keep your hands off our fitness project thank you very much...unless it fails then by all means!

 

[franklin2323]

Is there a chance Blake would leave to pursue a centre position elsewhere given the chance?

This is his 3rd year of RL so he's raw. Simmons is 90% a chance of retiring this year.

So a regular wing spot free. Moylan should be next up to go in the halves if injuries or something hit. So they will get their chance

If DWZ goes on Mormon he will re-sign before he goes. As Big Mick said gives us a few years to sort things out.

Blake's better then G.Jennings. So Robert is pretty much the only fighting with him. Given George & Michael are his brothers..he will spend alot of time injuried. So need options
