No one is "beating the drum" for Tuimavave. Not one rumour. Nada. Zilch. The only time the chap left for an Australian club he got homesick and had to come home.

Inu was at the Warriors. And was dropped to reserve grade for a poor attitude. You may have noticed the table topping Bulldogs who took Inu from us has done the same. He was pretty much on the outer at Parramatta for the same issue. Krisnan is a great player when he needs to be... IE, my career is on the line, IE its a finals game. Other than that, he has a poor attitude. Remember, this is the bloke everyone was talking up coming up through the high school systems in Australia, the next big thing, the bloke who played test footy after 1 game. If he fixes his attitude he's a world beater. Until then, he'll take up a chunk of change in the salary cap and not really care what the result for your club is.

If international eligibility got any looser, she'd cost no more than $5 and you still wouldn't touch the sides.

Kristan Inu has talent we all can only dream about.
So why get rid of Inu to employ Neilson.
As for Carlos, send him to the Broncos to replace Jack Butterfingers Reed.
I think Carlos is one a player of the future.
I see you never mentioned Hurrell to union. You resigned to the fact he is out the door. ?
I be a happy man if the Broncos had Inu and Hurrell.

Firstly, the blokes name is Krisnan. Secondly, why do you think firstly the Warriors actively shopped him around, and now Canterbury are doing much the same. You're quick to blow up at the Warriors, but here you have the top of the table club employing the same strategy as the Warriors did. He is a lazy trainer with his fairly lax work ethic.

Why would I mention Hurrell? The bloke is a deadset disgrace with his ridiculous carry on through his player manager. At the moment, I don't have to worry because the bloke has a contract to honour. The Warriors have no intention of ridding themselves of him. Its all Konrad. Its probably the type of nonsense that 10 week of good football stops by getting him a new contract. He needs to shut the hell up though, frankly he's carry on like a pork chop and its annoying. Much like yourself, really.

When has Hurrell said anything even remotely as you described? What did I miss?

This is what player managers do, been doing it long before Hurrell and will continue to do so long after.

Does anyone around here spew out as much crap as you.
A troll is a troll, but you just flat out make stuff up as you go.

Wouldn't mind having Manu off the bench into the back row at some stage...
...

Radio Sport interview with Cappy that was played on Saturday afternoon directly asked him about Manu in the forwards and Cappy said he didnt think it would be a good idea because of all the extra energy required and would reduce his impact. So probably not going to happen.

I don't think it'd be a great option. I think people underestimate Manus pace and the value of him coming off the wing to hit it up while the forwards are still coming back onside. He is still clearly our best winger IMO.

Manu to the forwards is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction thanks to Tony Williams.

He's fine on the wing, nice to see McFadden knows what he is talking about.
Just wish he'd stay out there to mark his winger...

I'm over the ridiculous mistakes tbh... I just don't understand why he can't do that...

Agreed, that's more or less my angle as well.

I was a very staunch Manu supporter for some time because often the wingers gets blamed for some very inept inside defending, but in recent years as his acceleration has decreased a step his ability to come in and cut off play has been further reduced as well.

The amount of times there isn't an overlap but he creates one himself with a poor option is increasing. I'm curious to see him play on the wing a bit more under Cappy to see any fundamental changes in D, but for me it's a case of if he's not a winger where does he play, and I think he's too valuable not to be in the team somewhere.

Having said all that. The Storm game was very interesting with Laumape doing a lot of the wing work and interchanging with Manu. Curious to see the end result of this and whether it will continue before passing an absolute judgement.

I don't think that was a deliberate tactic. That was to try to manage an injury to Vatuvei.

In terms of the defending, the frustration is the other wingers do it as well. I think this is one of those "lack of clear communication" issues. I think Cappy will sort itout. The other issue is sometimes it overshadows the root cause. I've noticed for a number of years blokes on the inside, when a clear sweep play is coming, turning their shoulders inwards or defending far too close to their inside man. For example against Cronulla the Chad did it two or three times. Ben Henry and Elijah Taylor are others I've noticed doing that. That then brings the entire line inside to ensure the inside channel isn't exploited.

If the other wingers do it as well, the indication is that Manu isn't the root cause of the problem. Fault diagnosis 101 there.

You guys dont like answering questions do you. ?
I asked some questions in my last post and not one of you adressed them. One guy went off on a troll rant, Iafeta started correcting spelling mistakes so to take the focus off answering my questions.

Are you lot going to answer what i said above in my last post, try reading the post lads, instead of going off like a bunch of halfcocked machine guns.

And stop calling me a troll, just answer what i have written and stop making shite up.

Here is the post again, and where is the trolling part. ?????

And lets stop the use of "because he is lazy" as a excuse.
They are all lazy and all need motivating , that is the coach and trainers job.

Ok so that's how you want it.

Kristan Inu has talent we all can only dream about.
Yep.


So why get rid of Inu to employ Neilson.
Inu was gone early 2012 and Neilson came in 2013.
It wasn't a straight replacement.


As for Carlos, send him to the Broncos to replace Jack Butterfingers Reed.
I think Carlos is one a player of the future.

Carlos has been garbage so far at first grade.
What are you basing this on?

I see you never mentioned Hurrell to union. You resigned to the fact he is out the door. ?

Where the f** has anyone here resigned to the fact that he's leaving for union.
Nobody here thinks he is leaving, read our posts.


I be a happy man if the Broncos had Inu and Hurrell.

????
How did *any* of these two players suddenly end up at the Broncos?
Completely baseless and random.




I took the effort to take your post seriously (just this once) and you've posted mostly just random incoherent crap.

Can't speak for the others but don't expect me to take your posts seriously.

oikeedokee, do you sometimes find yourself yelling at pigeons? You seem like a prime candidate for it.

If you think Reed is butter fingers, Tuimavave is green curry fingers. Ball shoots through his hands just as quick as green curry goes through the Mrs. At the moment he is this generations Patrick Ah Van.

Patty ah Van ruled! Whatever he lacked in talent (not that much) he made up for in fearlessness. I miss him and his attitude
