Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Abacus]

For @BxTom and @Abacus who want to insult me.

f**k me you're a bit precious... Your post came across the way Tom described it.

 

[Smug Panther]

Bit mean in here today and none of it funny zzzzzzz

 

[Abacus]

No middles available though. Atleast we kept funds for it

I'm after props - last thing we need is more locks/small middles.

and your a bit dumb. I'm not hurt just stating the facts.

Do you know any good Irish jokes. Give us one of your best, you always struck me as someone who has a keen sense of humour. Maybe dry sense of humour is a more apt description.

 

[franklin2323]

Yep. You still need the size in defence to slow the ruck. You run with small middles, you get overrun pretty quickly.

Not if other sides are just as small though

Lol. I thought you'd been insulted.

Try to have a laugh Westy - you got picked up on a post where you came across like a pretentious twat. Doubling down on it makes it seem intentional.

 

[Abacus]

Not many small sides at the pointy end of the season in 2020. And the club didn't get to the GF last year by going small.

Martin is far more of a nugget. Mini Taumalolololo

Who played prop on the weekend. Teams are going smaller

Yes but who is available?

Sorry, wife has been watching MAFS in the background. It sucks the life out of everything.

Storm play Brandon Smith at lock. Finucane at prop
Roosters Radley. Butcher played prop
Cam Murray lock for Souths.
Canberra had a small pack

We had Kenny and Naden on the bench in the prelim and won. Ivan also doesn't use the whole bench as it is

Poor old Panfa is posting his team for our Round 1 clash on the game day thread.

With all the action in this thread he’s unlikely to get too many replies till after 4pm next Tuesday.

 

[Abacus]

Yes but who is available?

Its getting to crunch time & i was hoping a couple of guys might be looking for opportunity. But today's announcement that clubs now have to 1 August just pushes things back. Experienced players will see which teams are finals-bound rather than taking risks now.

How aggressive has this place got of late. Used to be able to take the piss and have a little giggle. Bring back Hook. Bring back Katoa. The true glory days of this forum.

 

[Abacus]

Storm play Brandon Smith at lock. Finucane at prop

Smith off the bench. Usually started Bromwich, Welch, Finucane followed by Tino & NAS.

Roosters Radley. Butcher played prop

Wasn't Radley injured most of the year? Surely you're having a lend re Butcher at prop. JWH, Taukeiaho, Collins.

Canberra had a small pack

Just no. Papalii, Soliola, Tapine, Guler,

We had Kenny and Naden on the bench in the prelim and won.

Kikau was out & we damn near got beat (Reynolds' toe on the 40 saved us).

So many new coaches across the league usually mean the older guys get pushed out.

These guys are already 4 months into their deals. Give another month or 2 suddenly you are getting 50% off their deal. Get the club to pay some freight and we get a handy player cheap.

Not really an issue unless we get injuries there though. So atm best to wait

So you're saying it wasn't an accident?
