BHU aka The Pied Piper Signs

[spirit of league]

When I saw the initials BHU, I thought it meant big heavy unit. And voila, je suis correct.

Good news indeed.

Oui, certainement! C'est trop cool. Allez!

 

[spirit of league]

Burrito & the BHU. Yikes!

 

[taipan]

Oui, certainement! C'est trop cool. Allez!

From now on ,when he's got the pill it's:-

"Allez vous gros lourd"

Go you big heavy one. Simples.

Williams and Uele re-signed in the same week, huge bonus for the club.

These two are the future of our forward pack.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Think of all the forwards that Gal has played with at the club.
Someone should make a list, I'm looking at you @Stake Removed .
There were some false dawns in who would carry on the Legacy.
Now Wade, Fifita and Woods to carry through before passing the baton on to BHU, Williams and hopefully Nikora.
That is some great succession planning.

Great point about succession planning. Losing Ennis, Lewis and Gal would gut most squads. This side looks like it can stay very strong for another few years at least.

 

[Frenzy.]

Would definitely play hide the sausage with him.

Nope, not me and I didn’t think he warranted a spot early. He has improved exponentially since his early games.

At 24 he is barely approaching his peak.

I was gonna write earlier but I’ve been having an extended flog over this signing

 

[wibble]

His form is out of this world at the moment. For a "rookie" prop, he is showing amazing intent and skill.
(I'm not sure if he technically counts as a rookie despite not having played many games before this year (2?), as they weren't all in the previous year?)

So many positives out of this.

Him giving so much credit to the coach and how much he obviously loves the place is great (and endearing from a fan's point of view- BHU - Beautiful Heavy Unit).

This is another sign that Morris seems to be on the ball about getting the best out of players, creating a team atmosphere they all want to be part of, managing the squad, and managing the cap, despite it being reduced.

It gives us hope that the next few years we will continue to be strong, despite losing many great veterans, so the succession planning, as mentioned earlier, is excellent.

And the best part is that we get a genuinely powerful and skilful young forward for years, who is just beginning to reach the levels he seems capable of.

Samoa would be crazy not to have him in their squad. Actually, NZ too if they could talk him in to it.

What a year. Two rookies who will probably (or at least should be) selected for their country.

“To qualify for Rookie of the Year, the player must not have played more than four NRL games prior to the current season. Players are also ineligible if they have been suspended two or more times, which rules out Roosters young gun Victor Radley who would otherwise have been on the short list.”

I think he qualifies as he had only played 2 games prior to this season. I didn’t read that they had to be all in the previous season

 

[Card Shark]

Was his first game for us in Canberra last year?

Or was that Jack Williams (or both).

I remember saying “welcome to the club” during their victory lap after the game.

Think it was Williams but I think Uele debuted the same day.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

He actually played like he is now when he was at the cows. Then he never got another run. I picked him in my sc team after hearing the Cows coaches say by the end of the year he will be their primary front rower. So I was uber excited to see him at the Sharks. Been a slow burn.
