Rumoured/Confirmed Signings and More Crap XVIII

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

2 players that the club should keep an eye on are Keith Galloway and Kane Evans. If Galloway gets forced out of the top 17 at Wests maybe we could negotiate a release and likewise with Kane Evans if he can't get a spot in the 17 at the Roosters.

10-15kgs isn't that much, especially when you consider Tui's height. JWH put on a good 18kgs and then he became a top notch prop. If Tui can get anywhere between 120-125kg he'll be even better. atm he's a bit too skinny to handle all the collisions in first grade, put that weight on and he'd be a good bench player.

Tui will be in first grade in 3 years...

Provided he's happy to hang around on peanuts for that long.

The Roosters manage their succession planning very well and Kane Evans re-signed this year until 2017 - one of only three Roosters players currently contracted that long. He is definitely in their plans and will be in the top 17 next year, no doubt.

Robinson has already said they will focus on their young guys as their stars come off contract. They are losing Minichiello and SBW and haven't signed anyone to replace them but they will be replaced internally; Tuivasa-Sheck will replace Minichiello and losing Williams means Guerra can move to the edge permanently. That frees space in the middle for Kane Evans.

As for Galloway, he is one of the few experienced leaders in a very young Tigers club (and is contracted until 2016). No way will they let him go early. He doesn't even turn 31 until after his current contract ends.

worlds worst secret is they've signed blake ferguson

For 2015 or 2016?

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Fergy if signed will take SKD's position who may move to the wing to take RTS' position or may move to another club.

Fa'assoo is a good signing.Prob doesn't effect our cap at all and adds depth.Kind of like what penrith did.They still managed a decent team with 6-7 guys out.
When he was at knights he was a great player. At manly he went well too.He may not play first grade but im sure a bench spot wouldn't be too far a stretch if we get a few guys injured.

Main problem with Fa'aso is that he drops the ball.

He is basically a larger, more experienced version of Peni Terepo. What's the harm?

He is a very good player and will surpise us just like Gower did. Good work from Arthur. Now all we need to do is find Allgood a new home. The pressure will also be on Lussick in 2015. He had a good first year but last year he was awful.

Any updates on Seph?

Well it looks like we've found a replacement for Fui.

Faaaaoooooooo just doesn't have the same ring to it

 

[Twizzle]

he's a big f**ker

 

[Twizzle]

In case you didn't see it on FB, is this play legal ?

[youtube]a1cgQPwf1ng#t=9[/youtube]

I went yes

 

[El Diablo]

yes

seen that happen in the NRL

think it was Menzies head it came off and someone else then scored

 

[Twizzle]

a knock on has to come off the hands or arms so I reckon its no different to a kick ahead, the only issue may be the guy on his left could have been off side but thats not the issue here

some weird comments on FB, some people have no idea about the rues

:lol: soooooooooo true.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Happened to us in the '06 prelim final I believe against the Storm. The ball came off Ryan Hoffman's head went forward and they scored. A knock-on has to come off the arms or hands of the attacker. The NRL refs have to learn that not every dropped ball is a knock-on first before we even think of getting to this rule.

It can be pulled up if it is intentionally played of the head like in the video.
