Actually I remember Pou was one who kept saying I do not see the Davis love.....
Even Hindy111 saw talent in Davis. Good spotting Pou.

I also never saw the Davis hype. He has always looked slow and poor in defense to me.

Reminds me of Josh Bogan is stature and potential talent. That is not a compliment.

 

[Chipmunk]

I think the sticking point would be that he wants to be in the top 25 and we don't.

We're probably paying him enough to play elsewhere next season for him to be taking up one of our Top 25 spots in any case.

Yeah, State of Origin and Australian Reps who are strong runners of the football are just rubbish aren't they.

Come on mate not everyone can be as good as Morgs, Taka or burrito........

So still not official, but was looking at the stat's for Kelepi playing for the Tomahawks:

http://www.qrl.com.au/news/2015/08/24/highlights_rd24_falc.html scores a good try @ 1:10
http://www.qrl.com.au/news/2015/08/17/highlights_rd23_blac.html falls over for another at @1:44
http://www.qrl.com.au/news/2015/08/11/highlights_rd22_blac.html and another @ 0:35

Prozone shows him playing 60-80 mins, running 100+ 4 times in the last 8 rounds, playing edge he is strong offensively but a bit clumsy defending. Tomahawks are in the GF this weekend against Ipswich



I was looking for Cam King stat's. He plays for Northern pride and through middle of the year (disappears in August) he is playing as 14, season best stats of 55 min's 39 tackles and 78 running metres, the prozeone report isn't very reliable but is as much as I can glean.

 

[Stagger eel]

Went out watched Mitch Cornish yesterday and I thought he was one of Mounties best, laid on a couple of tries scored one himself however his goal kicking was absolutely horrible, I think he landed 1 from 6

He'll fit in well then in regards to goal kicking

 

[T.S Quint]

Luckily we have Luke Kelly's tremendous goalkicking abilities.

 

[lingard]

Yep that would help. I'd still rather a top class fullback and Gordon play wing / centre

Maybe that's exactly what you will see in 2017.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Gordon is 33 next year. Do you reckon we will re-sign him for 2017?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Gordon is 33 next year. Do you reckon we will re-sign him for 2017?

I thought we signed him for 2 years?

 

[strider]

I thought we signed him for 2 years?

no i think it was just one

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

no i think it was just one

fair enough. Maybe I'm thinking of what he was asking for when we first tried signing him in June. I'm happier with a 1-year deal anyway.

 

[hineyrulz]

He's got at least another 4 years in him.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

fair enough. Maybe I'm thinking of what he was asking for when we first tried signing him in June. I'm happier with a 1-year deal anyway.

I think if we got him in June it would have been a 1 and half year deal, which would have ended at the end of 2016. From memory though it's a 1 year deal with an option, so if both parties feel as if they can and need to play on in 2017 then the option will be enforced.

 

[84 Baby]

I still remember both davis and tanginoa beeing labelled beat two jnrs aince hindmarsh lol

Did you go back in time? There have been quite a few juniors come through since Hindy who have had better wraps than Hindy. One even proved that he was better than Hindy, not insulting Hindy's ability

It's close, but Super Morgs is not better than Hindy.

Jamie Lyon
Jarryd Hayne
Eric Grothe Jr
Andrew Ryan
PJ Marsh
Willie Tonga
Feleti Mateo
Kris Inu
Tim Mannah
Junior Paulo
Semi Radradra

All players who came though Parra's Junior systems since Hindy who ended up being pretty damn good players.

That's not even including blokes like Pat Richards and Joel Reddy who were good but not great.
