Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

We're gonna save so much f**ken money!!

We won't be buying a premiership next year so best we save our pennies and push them into 2018.

The Max effect......

He made more errors than runs tonight. A playmaking centre is a nice gimmick but he won't be making any rep teams anytime soon.

One of his errors saved a try. He ran the guy down and made a tackle. Then intercepted the ball and went into touch.
Was another attempting a bomb in attack. He also had two try assits so stick those stats up your greasie arse

if manar can add an offload, he'd be far more dangerous

Did you see his offload tonight that led to the try? Absoloutley Magic!

Maybe but you can only front load so much, far less than it appears we have to spend. Or so it appears. I still think there's a good chance we'll get a half.

Anyone listen to triple m? Apparently (2nd hand info) Arthur said Gutho will be our 6 next year and French fullback with Robbo going around again.

BA 100% said French would be fullback.

And said Gutho has shown enough to make him think Normie and Gutho are a viable halves option ... said defense is important and 2 95ish kg halves is good

And he said he doesnt want to use the word "backup" about Robo - so said he will he good in the halves helping the young guys .... ie he will be backup half

If that eventuates I predict a lot of bitching about our kicking game next year.

What are we doing in 2018, rebuilding year ?

The Hayne salary cap exodus begins!

I'd happily take Hoffman in our spine.

Hoffman was told before The Plane was even considered by the Gold Coast that his services weren't required in 2017.

Well its a pretty safe bet there will be bitching about something

 

[Chipmunk]

No need for nuffies like Toutai or Folau in the starting line-up if we sign Hoffman. Maybe the plan is:

1. Hoffman
2. Semi
3. Jennings
4. Taka
5. French/Gutherson
6. Gutherson/Norman
7. Norman/French

Hoffman should do a better job than Gordon, and leave us to spend more of Foran's money where we need to (signing/upgrading forwards).

Upgrading Forwards? Paying players more money doesnt make them better players.

Neither of us has any idea how much we have to spend. Some players currently in the squad will be on plenty more next year. That will chew up most of what is freed up by merkins leaving.

Norman on the sting?

Hopefully a legit premiership threat by then.

Ha. True

Who on here bagged taka? Half of you pidgeons.
Who told everyone you see a good player? HINDY111...... The class difference between him and jennings is minimal. If anything Taka offers more.Better under the high ball and has a good kicking game, also can cover more positions.

When i speak people must listen.

But will Taka play next week? He's becoming as injury prone as Kaysa.

Agree a real shame

We have some pretty good young forwards and it's likely a few of them were on unders this year.

Probably
