Rumours and Stuff

[lucablight]

Is Gray smaller than Langer was? He is midget size.

He owned us

Boods isnt anywhere near a first grader.

He looks like a RMC backup player just like his big brother

The fact he’s getting picked in first grade at such a young age, and defending so well, and captaining reserve grade at age 20, means he is getting close to being a first grader.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Top 30 until end 2027. The merkin they signed is a dev contract.

ffs

 

[Poupou Escobar]

he’ll miss simple one on one tackles

Everyone misses “simple one on one tackles”, especially out wide. It’s why most tries are scored by outside backs. What matters on the edges is how often a player misses, and this is reflected in the statistics. Will Penisini is as good as most centres.

Add to that he can’t pass to set up his outside man

He averages a try assist about every four games. Again, as good as most centres. Surely you can hate a player without making shit up.

.. then we go to the other side of the field where we have Sean Russell . I’ll say he’s been having a real crack this year and has learned a lot playing next to Fox .. he makes less errors and less poor reads than Will . the trouble is again athletically , he offers next to nothing . I’ve never seen him beat a tackle , he has no footwork , average speed , average strength , can’t win a contest in the air , struggles to set up the Ferrari outside him . Just 2 very average to below average centres . Russell can probably do a job for you in a pinch if he keeps working hard but Will has just been so costly .
We’re a grinding team at the moment that Is far from perfect so when a back rower playing centre can stroll through your centre twice that’s the difference in the game . It’s a common theme with Will , he loses his match up every week . He loses against the top centres , loses against Starford to’a , loses against Tallis Duncan , comes up against a knights rookie and drops the ball 5x.
We badly need a quality centre with some nrl level athleticism that can provide a bit of punch and hole running and defend athletically .

It's the first year since 2022 he hasn't been one of the top centres for tackle breaks. Probably because our new structure struggles to get him the ball except on hit ups.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What I’m saying is that Boods is garbage and he is only there because his Godfather is the coach and that he only ever played first grade at Parra because his dad was the coach.

That’s what I’m saying.

Plus unlike his older brother I have heard he is an entitled little f**kwit and a spitting image of his dad.

He's a leader like his dad, captaining sides from a young age. Not just bullying his autistic employees.

I can’t agree with Will holding his own . I reckon he’s been horrendous . His decision making is extremely poor , he’ll miss simple one on one tackles .. he’s all at sea . You could go over all the games he’s played at centre this year on either side of the field and with whoever next to him and see how atrocious he’s been. He was so bad on the left that he couldn’t continue to play there . That in itself upset the balance of our side as we now have no speed on that right edge with him and Lomax .
If Moses looks to play short side those 2 are 2 steps off the pace .. if any break is made on that side of the field there’s no support coming .. he just isn’t a first grade quality centre.
Add to that he can’t pass to set up his outside man .. all he tries to do is run through people and that has cost us games this year like the Dolphins .
To me Will is a rugby union centre playing League .

Fair points.

Russell is a frustrating case - awesome attitude, great partnership with The Fox, and a very good defender...

But that's all.

Slow acceleration.

No power.

Little skill.

Not a reliable goal-kicker.

I like him for his attitude, and defence, but we need more from our centres.

I had an interaction with Matt Arthur 5 years ago at the trade centre I was working at.

Brad came in to ask about the best way to have his house repainted, products to use, good painters to recommend, best way to render his fascia, etc.

Brad was polite, but had a cranky look on his face - I think he just has "resting bitch face".

Matt, though...

Oh, boy...

He was walking around the trade centre, picking tins off the shelf, reading the backs, putting them back wherever he pleased, taking colour swatches, and then just dropping them on the floor, talking to me from across the room - while I was having a technical conversation with his dad...

Jakob was also there, and was a perfect gentleman - he politely asked me questions regarding how to apply certain products, recoat times etc.

It's why I wish Jake well - great kid.

Matt is a turd.

Is Gray smaller than Langer was? He is midget size.

Gray listed at 178cm, 78kg

Langer at 165cm, 76kg

Did they have shoes on at least.

 

[Lemon Squash]

I’ve never met Matt, can testify Jake Arthur though is one of the most polite young footballers I’ve ever met

Sounds like all ADHD traits...........anyhow the kid was only 15.....I wouIdnt judge any kid as a "turd" because of his behaviour at 15.....

[Twizzle]

Not nearly as bad as the hate ‘you people’ show for our nation — protesting on the Harbour Bridge or virtue-signalling every single day.


There’s that word again. Is this the part where you tell me I don’t know what it means?

It's not hate, it's just a different political view than yours, yet you continually defame anything Arthur.

You see the difference ?

Despite the tough year for Souths

Tallis Duncan is turning into a quality player that i reckon plays for NSW one day.

Reckon Cam Murray has a lot to do with his development in the background.

Would love someone like a Duncan coming through our young lot that just works hard but has versatility like a Marata in a pinch can play outside backs.

Samrani doesn't cut it IMO.

 

[eels_fan]

Duncan has looked like a goer since he came into grade. All the injuries this year has seen him get a lot more experience than would likely have been the case normally and he’s been up front that fast-tracked development.

I still think there is a first grader in Samrani. He certainly has the size, he’s a good trainer, has decent leg speed. He’s not going to be in our top 17 but give him another off-season and he may take an opportunity when it arises next year and surprise some people.

Duncan is 23 and just hit 50 or so games, and suddenly starting to have some stand out games.........

Eels fans want to sack any of our promising players if they aren't starring after 3 games.....

Amazing what 50 NRL games of experience does for a player....
