2014 new boys thread!

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

AS tome cruise once said-You better put your manners back in.

I apoligise-Just had a speeding ticket

Sorry to hear that mate. . And, of course, I also apologise. Have a good one.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

I never saw the hit on Josh Papalii (but I have seen a good photo of it). I would have expected some merkin to put it up on YouTube, but alas.

I was actually referring to Slater kicking David Klemmer. Anyhoo

 

[lingard]

we'll win the 9s ... and a premiership will be only just around a the corner

mind you the next corner is 2 decades away

Yes, it's a long straight.

 

[lingard]

It would be nice for once.

I never understood the way some/most clubs approach trails (and I see the Nines as a different version of a trial). I know everyone is concerned about injuries, but they can happen any time (even pre-season training). Surely the benefit of getting cohesion within the team, and hopefully a winning attitude is much preferred than starting the season on the back of 3 straight trial loses and easing into the season with new combinations.

Maybe that's why I'm not an NRL coach.

Nah, there's probably other reasons as well.

 

[lingard]

I still am undecided if we should go for an attacking forward pack or a hardworking one.We should have the firepower in the backs if our halves fire to score points so maybe defense is the way to go.
I don't want to sound racist but you cant have to many Islanders in one team-It just doesn't work.Even the NZ team has a lot more white kiwis now.

Take no notice of our avatars, Hindy - we're all Islanders on this forum, bro. You wanna be careful what you say.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Nah, there's probably other reasons as well.

I dare say his face isn't big enough.

 

[The Elephant In The room]

Nah, there's probably other reasons as well.

Oh I get it. You think I'm too ugly. Well thanks for nothing Mr Lingard.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you're going to be ugly you're probably better off not having a big face anyway.

Small mercies hey?

 

[Jake the snake]

A possible dark horse as a starter in the BR is Pauli Pauli

Pauli, Ualesi, Kelepi Jnr Paulo and Terepo. Future does look bright.

 

[Casper The Ghost]

Please make sure that you email BA once you are decided. He can't keep delaying his decisions.

We're all islanders by the way...last time I checked a map.

No mate, we're continental.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

No mate, we're continental.

We're both

 

[Casper The Ghost]

We're both

f**k English, I prefer using hieroglyphics for communication.

 

[The Colonel]

Pauli, Ualesi, Kelepi Jnr Paulo and Terepo. Future does look bright.

Throw Tepai Moeroa in to that mix as well.

 

[Avenger]

Jnr Paulo is my pick for breakthrough season.

 

[Jake the snake]

Throw Tepai Moeroa in to that mix as well.

He'll yes, Freak!!! JWH reincarnation

 

[strider]

JWH? ... is Tepai a mad merkin?

 

[Jake the snake]

JWH? ... is Tepai a mad merkin?

"Passive aggressive"

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Come on Jake, they don't even play the same position you f**ken ratbag.

 

[Stagger eel]

Tepai is probably the most talented player in the squad however we've not actually seen him at that level consistently...

The waratahs tried to get this kid in their full time squad this year.. Nolan did very well there

 

[ParraSteve]

Jnr Paulo is my pick for breakthrough season.

He was one player that really improved his game as the weeks went by last year. hopefully he continues to get better.
