Around the Grounds

They truly look shit.

And they're opposite to us in that they try to play footy, just they're very very bad at it.

 

[Apey]

Things may have been different but it feels like such a bullet dodged getting Hastings instead of Brookes.

I am genuinely embarrassed at how hard we went for him.

 

[Burwood]

Josh King, Nick Meaney, Tariq Sims, Grant Anderson, Jonah Pezet. 12th.


Joseph Tapine, Danny Levi, Pasami Saulo, Hudson Young, Tom Starling, Zac Woolford. 15th.

Looks like once you get too many ex Newcastle players in your system, it’s all downhill…

Yeah Canberra have bitten off more than they can chew. I'm not gonna bet against Bellyache just yet.

Geez Kiraz is a guy we will regret losing.

Look at it this way; If he had stayed here he wouldn't have amounted to anything more than a Trent Salkeld.

I actually liked Salkeld.. What happened to him? Lol

AOB should be too.

Pearce 2.0

Thought it was Andrew Johns pushing his barrow hard???

Just like Anthony Milford, Brooks has shown absolutely nothing for eons.

What is it with this club and dud halfbacks?

Atm I couldn’t be happier we ‘had to settle’ for Hastings.

 

[perverse]

It is funny how happy we are so far with Hastings when all that he's proven he is so far is a poor mans Mitchell Pearce.

I mean, I'm happy to have him too.

I saw him play NSW cup in 2021 and thought he probably should have debuted in first grade that year, from what I understand he’s a guy Clint Zammit signed to the cowboys and then brought with him to the knights and has big wraps on unfortunately he doesn’t fit the Adam O’Brien criteria of being an undersized, unathletic local boy who tries hard

And he was on a development contract here too. Not like we had to pay a king’s ransom to keep him.

Pretty sure when he signed the first year of his contract was development and then 2nd year would be top 30, from what I understand he was pretty much told by the club (I’m assuming AOB) that he was not really being viewed as a first grader and as such sought a release which was granted. I really don’t understand how we can be happy to let go a young guy who’s got an ideal physique for a modern outside back who more than held his own as a teenager in NSW cup.

Because we've got Tuala wrapped up for infinite years to cover 2-5 in the backline.

Will pryce starting at fullback for Huddersfield Vs St Helens this morning. Great test for him. Given The Giants depth in the halves and utilities the club really should be pushing harder to bring Will here early.

Where would he play when he comes here? Miller has been great. Both our halves are really performing and Ponga might be back. Pryce doesn't look like a 14/bench hooker. Would he play 13?

We need more forwards. I really hope we let Dom go early and get one of the Roosters edge backrowers.

The Roosters weren’t keen on trading either of the Butcher brothers unfortunately, only Touponua but given he’s recovering from an ACL I can’t see us agreeing to that.

Would take Fletcher Baker.

Hurts watching Pezet carving up.

But some joy in watching Brooks suck bad and knowing we avoided him?
