Couchmen

[The Badger]

Its been a long time since I have had anything worthwhile to post, however after watching Toby and Ryan Couchman on the weekend I must say they are a breath of fresh air to our Dragons season.Once they were on together they combined with Jack Debelin to form a brick wall in the middle of the ruck.Offensively they continually made ground to the point of contributing to two crucial tries.

It seems these young men turned up by default and said "hey this is the way to do it and we are here NOW" despite the history of poor management,coaching and recruitment. They are Priority 1 in our plans.There are a lot of brilliant young backs entering NRL but not young forwards of this calibre who can tackle and attack with their intensity.

No chance we'll retain them.

Pus Gould is sucking one off & Uncle Nick is giving the other one a hummer as we type.

This thread was started in respect of the effort of those 2 young men, not as an opportunity to spread vulgar comments on the subject.

Yeah there really ain’t player in the comp as a lean tall 20yr prop that can play like Toby nor Ryan

wow 2 for 1

their trajectory is extremely promising despite them not typical prop builds

outliers like Fisher Harris tall and 104kg and Matt Prior later years tall and 107kg eventually are probably their markers

their lively work through the ruck was inspiring on the weekend

and they just seem like absolute footy heads !!!

Guys u love to play team sport with which is critical keeping a good squad together

 

[st.phil]

great kids - real dragons too... I've said it before, we can't recruit young talent like this so retention and pathways are critical. Flanno kept em keen all year and now coming into their own when the whips are cracking. They should be 200+ gamers for the club and both playing Origin within 2 or 3 years

Their other upside is they could handle lock and second row if needed.

 

[Macedonian Dragon]

They are absolute must keeps. We can't afford to lose them. The future of our club.

I wonder what their height and weights are for lean forwards.

They look around 190cm and 100kg but they are strong in contact, very fit and quick, good leg speed, great defensively and can offload. Very versatile in the forwards too.

They have to be in our 17 for the remainder of this season and next season.

In the old days we used to run 2 black porches on the edges, now were gonna run 2 sofa-chairs through the middle.

Realistically though I suspect one will be our lock, maybe even rotating.. its tricky having 2.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Yep lock and prop totally works

just need that first hit up prop

and realistically to win a comp and or be in the top 4 only the best of the best manage that 8,10,13

so maybe they will be best served for the team success playing off the bench for another season or two ??

Oh no!

The thread police are here!

The Todger, If you don't get the point that was being made in my post that's your problem.

And if it's too "vulgar" for you, let me help.
I'm concerned that Phil Gould might perform oral sex on one twin to get him to the Dogs & Nick Politis similarly might perform oral sex on the other to get him to the Roosters.

It's a big bad world isn't it?!

I am not the thread police, I just am respectful of the other men,women and chidren who enjoy this forum.Ask the other Forum members what they think of your contribution to this thread.Also ask The Couchmans, Phil Gould and Nick Politis.Respecting all parties mentioned is The Real World.

Sack Shane Flanagan, he has no idea how to recruit players, blood future stars, develope junior system, prolonge older players career's, turn sooks into SOO player's, motivate NRL teams for the week in week out grind.
Parramatta just handed a Rookie a four year contract, the BOD gave Wayne Bennett a 3 year contract, seriously if they dont give Flanno a 5 year extension after this years remarkable transformation, they should look for positions on the Adelaide Jets Boards.

LOL!

Outrage looks fabulous on you The Todger!
But if you're that precious sweetheart, that's your problem.

I'm sure the "men, women & children" who enjoy this message board are aware it's public and has been since 2003. And if the above hurts your sense of decency, that's your problem. I'd suggest either you press "ignore" or go and read threads that have accumulated since the aforementioned year & harden up.

And regarding Gould & Politis, I couldn't give a f**ck and will continue to show them the same "respect" the overwhelming majority of other members in this place have shown them for over 2 decades.

And in "The Real World" I give as much of a rat's arse about some other nameless forumer's opinion of my contributions as I do about a discarded, broken pen lid at a bus-stop.

If they let the twins go, every prick on the staff & in the boardroom should be whipped naked through the streets of Kogarah.

In fact the board should have that happen to them anyway.

Seeing you dont care about my opinion then ask the other Forum members for their opinions of your filthy post.I guess we were brought up differently.Your loss.

 

[gregstar]

Bwahahahaha!
Yeah.
My loss.

I’ll start p’ming every member in League Unlimited immediately and ask each of them because un-named strangers’ opinions of my posts on a public message board mean the world to me.

Yes Badger, like HOD, old gregstar has been on "ignore" for quite some time. His posts were a complete waste of time.
