Rumours and Stuff

Lets build for future.
Trust the process .Not old hillbillies that have no nut left and want a payday and to preserve bodies as retirement looms.
These old ex champion players have done it all. Nothing left to prove. You must not sign guys older then 28/29at most.
Young bucks have no fear. They will rip and tear. We have enough experience ffs.

Prior has more go forward in him than most our pack put together ... and last I checked has a premiership ring as a front rower

Don’t won’t a superstar just a big body that bends the line and creates momentum

Good player, but his attacking ability is similar to Alvaro / Mannah

The exception to this is hooker and halves IMO. Mostly hooker.

Ours are shit. Well, Mahoney looks the goods if he can stop throwing forward passes before it becomes a problem. But he and Schneider aren't the answer short term and could stand to learn a lot from a good older bloke.

Cronulla fire sale coming up I’ll take any of the following 4 please

1. Matty Prior
2. Xerri
3. Fifita
4. Johnson

There's no straight pick up from Sharks that a) we'd want (Bogan), b) helps them out (Moses/Johnson swap) and c) they'd be willing to give up (Xerri).

Perhaps we could involve the Warriors?
Moses to Warriors & Johnson to us?

Heaps of numpty front-rowers have won premierships

Or Moses to Warriors, Townsend to us? I'm not sure Johnson or Moses are the right halves for Brown. Townsend can play to a game plan, Johnson and Moses don't do that.

Whoooooooooosh!!!!!

Like a budgie in a thunderstorm

Or that but I think they'd be more willing to give up Johnson

We’d have an enormous war chest (cap space) to spend if that was to eventuate.

Would Moylan be worth looking at as a fullback, pushing Gutho back to the centres?

No. He's too inconsistent plus he's a cat

 

[Happy MEel]

No. He's too inconsistent plus he's a cat

Agreed he’s a bit of a cat but no more so than French. IMO he was consistent enough at fullback for the Panthers. I’m yet to be convinced he’s a 5/8.

 

[hindy111]

No. He's too inconsistent plus he's a cat

If signed it be for halves.To much of a softy in his goal line defense

If we want a fullback I'd look at DWZ or panthers nsw cup boy. I think his names Aetkins?
Depends where we see Guth long term.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Whoooooooooosh!!!!!

Whoosheel.

 

[Gary Gutful]

No. He's too inconsistent plus he's a cat

I didn’t think he was at the Panthers now.

Having older blokes in the past on our books has done sweet f**k all for mentoring our younger players.

If we need a mentor, I say bring in a specialist coach.

We offered Ennis a gig but he chose a 6 hour return drive and Ricky over us. Guess he likes driving.

The fact that you assume the only way to learn is via mentoring means you've missed the core concept.

I will say that just because you believe that doesn't make it true. It's not something you can necessarily quantify

How do you know?

Before 2018 our young blokes were killing it.

Yeah read that. There’s other fish in the sea, maybe a halves coach to work with the spine. Just not sure a player like Luke is the answer.
