Round One: Brisbane v Penrith

[Girds89]

That makes zero sense. Who do you drop? Jenkins or PA? Both are far to good for NSW CUP.
Best would be an area you need to improve and some sort of 3 way swap.

We arent trying to get lomax.. we are never going to get lomax. People need to forget about it..

I'm not expecting we land him but any reason you are so sure?

The Tago trade to play with his brother makes sense. We don't have 100/200k in the cap to top it up to make it happen? As for attitude we got the best out of TPJ so I think they'd be confident on Lomax if they wanted to pursue.

 

[Munky]

Tago is an interesting one.

His first full year in 2022 he started as a teenager and played in arguably the best premiership team of the NRL era that sleep walked to a comp.

In mid 2023 he was the best weapon in the league breaking tackles and accelerating out the other side.

He shredded Melbourne with ease.

At the time he was 21.

Then he did his peck.

When he came back he power was gone snd two and a but seasons later it still isn't there.

I'm wondering if the game going from easy as a twenty year old to requiring effort just a year later has impacted his mentality.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I like ginnane. I think hes a good commentator.. never noticed any bias from him. Thats for any team

I agree. I think we need to accept that commentators are going to talk up our competition as Penrith winning all the time is boring; need to ensure eyeballs remain on the TV till full time.

Seperate transactions, We can send Tago to Parra. Maybe we get cash from a side to get Lomax there.

We have too many guys off contact that need signing

There are $200k between Lomax and Tago's contract

 

[IcemanCleary]

I've heard Parra are interested and I actually think he will end up at the Eels. He has his flaws and I am not that keen but he is still far better then Kelly,Peninsi and Russel.

I'd swap richard peninsi for tago

You'd swap a first grader for a bum in a position we don't need?

Penisini is most certainly not a bum.

Similar to tago dont play 100 nrl games at his age and be a bum. I think in a good team hed be a top 6 centre in the comp

ive lost access to my old account, cant reset password as the email linked to it is very old.

I knew @Chins would be sick seeing Cogger play well. He was even defending well, massive upgrade over Scneoder imo.

Good on Milky and good on Ivan for resting Yeo, it would be crazy to keep playing Yeo 80 mins every week imo. We just need to make it work with him resting each week. Also I continue to love what im seeing from Phillips.

 

[Wetcats]

Also we appear to have great forward depth this season with Martin and Henry to come back, Phillips looked good and Kalani appears to be atleast a solid bench option, i think he spent time on the edge and in the middle on Friday.

Play with his brother? His brother will be lucky to remain in NSW CUP and has no contract next year. Henis Ron Massey cup level

Clubs love brother deals happens all the time.

Won't be long before Tyrone May is playing for the Tigers.

Ignoring the off field stuff they should've done that. Purely talking football May would be a good partner to Luai.

Not a first grade talent, definitely the dud brother

Smart footballer who ruined it.

 

[Murraymob1]

Glad you believe in hoodoos

l Know a guy that’s been working on the new stadium and has buried a couple of hex bags under cement

Did the bags have the word talent on them .Maybe Ryles should dig them back up and put parra jerseys on them

 

[Murraymob1]

Just on hoodoos anyone timber the old rooster supporter that wore a beanie with a rooster on his head.He placed a curse on us 15 years ago hadn’t worked to well lately

Hope you are right. He appears to be the antithesis of Ivan's ideal player.

Not suggesting we're going anywhere near Lomax, but you would have said the same thing about TPJ and Ivan got him humming.

I'd have more confidence in Ivan (aka our system) to get output out of a wayward talent than any other coach in the game at this point.

That said, our backline is absolutely brimming atm. Lomax would have to work really hard to get into the team as things stand.

I would. Hed be on a wage more befitting of a bench warmer.
