Eels in the media

[Gronk]

Are you referring to Walker? I wouldn’t put him even near the same level as our halves.

He’s 2-3 years away from having the body even able to handle week to week footy. Spends more time on his ass each week than playing the game. You’ve drank the media cool-aid just because he can thrown cut out passes.

he’s a poor mans Tim Smith at this stage, let judge where he’s at in 2024

A bit like 2018+ Nathan Cleary ?

Exactly. Can go either way…. I wouldn’t be hailing Walker the messiah just yet, let alone saying he’s better than all our halves

For every Sam Walker there is a Kyle Flanagan.

I was talking about his playmaking, not his complete game.

Almost the opposite. Cleary's defence was always good. His playmaking eventually reached NRL standard. Walker is an elite playmaker already. Better than Moses or Gutherson.

The context was media cool-aid.

Why are they revealing the secret of our success to our opponents?

Jordan Rankin. But apparently people know the *real* reason why he didn’t go to QLD.

A great story. Thanks for sharing Gronky. He did the right thing. Just think how frustrating it would have been for him given his UK experience, being away from his family knowing he had little chance of playing. Its great to know hes with us again next year.

 

[Gronk]

knowing he had little chance of playing.

He didn’t say that, did he ?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Not that I read.

 

[Twizzle]

seriously, you'd be a shit journo for Fox

where is the speculation ?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Well I reckon Rankin was no chance given him being ignored when he was clearly outplaying Jrthur in the 2s. Sounds like a clever bloke to me but never smart enough to play 1s. Hes at home, safe, with his family and still getting paid. He also never played for The Rhinos. He should never have kicked BAs dog.
