Anyone got Intel as to why he is out of NSW Cup today & seems out of favour?

No not out of favour if noT injured they may want to keep him fresh to cover a few injuries to the top 17

 

[Panther2021]

Possibly hope youre right,I rate him. Has a mistake or 2 but as a forward he is a genuine try scorer & can cover some spots

B BURNS is off to the Dragons.Announced next few days. I imagine Eddie Blacker might be a swap (no mail on this part thou).

Cant blame him when they signed sorrenson he went further back on the list .He will be a solid signing for them next year.but the next one will roll of the production line

 

[age.s]

Thats a shame. He's not there yet but he'll be really good in a few years imo.

 

[betcats]

If young Tago keeps filling out he will be pushing for a debut next year. Playing centre now but he’s listed on the clubs site as a back rower, whatever position he ends up he’s having as a good a start to his nsw cup career as any of the young stars in our fg team right now. Sorensen gives a decent option until someone else is ready. Smith has played some games in the back row also.

I think Burns will be a good player but if it’s true he’s taken a chance with the dragons I don’t blame him. No idea about this Eddie blacker fella but generally the last two years players come here and better, forwards especially.

Think he suffers from the Edwards syndrome. Had a week where he dropped some ball & now that’s all some remember him by. Good player, looking forward to watch him progress under Sir Hook.

All the best Billy, not sure why, but it seems like you’ve dropped down the pecking order a bit. I guess the powers that be really like the look of Tago??

Hopefully you get a good crack at the NRL with the Dragons.

Can hopgood play on the edge? I’d love to see him get a run at some point.

 

[Original Name]

If anyone watched the Dragons game Blacker was the 16. Big dude, wiki has him listed at 195cm and 116kgs. Was a junior QLD origin rep coming through over there.

Blacker was pulled from the team like Burns.

Burns is a quality player but the writing was on the wall when we signed Sorensen.

He will be a handy pick up for the Dragons.

If we could swap blacker for Laurie from the dragons I would be happy .A meter eater prop with a off load

He started as backrow in NYC. Tago to backrow is prob more likely option

Laurie has come a long way. He was decent under Mary but he suits Griffins style of play. Has a quick play the ball and a big motor.
