[Frenzy.]

Well SKD is a centre but he's already been mentioned.

 

[newman]

I just heard that we have re-signed Tupou and Leutele.

We are also talking to SKD (as a joint deal with FPN) and on top of that Lafai from the dogs and Fai Fai Loa. It seems that Pom is on marked time.

 

[newman]

Peach is still under negotation. Might take a while.

Dave Fifita would be a great pickup.
But Moley reported earlier in the week he is about to sign with Melbourne. Hope he's wrong.

Player managers are sick of the mole and are constantly feeding him incorrect information. When was the last thing he got right. I reckon all LU forums have a better strike rate than him.

 

[DJShaksta]

He gets a fair few right Newman.
He gets a fair few wrong too.

 

[Ausguy]

he gets all of them from here....

all i know has been mentioned here in this thread

Heard Fifita with us for next year last week. Dont want Hodgkinson. Stuck with a Robbo clone for years then. Who do the Dogs have in mind to replace him? If not Keating go for him.

How will that sit with the captain coach?

Heard the same about Fifi II but it hinges on Fifi I being upgraded.

I also don't see the point in chasing Hodgkinson. Unless it's as a hooker which I have also heard.

FPN is wanted hard by NZ. They also offered SKD but his misses wont go.

SKD is priority 1, Lafai number 2. As for Peachey, if you asked me last week I would of said he is all but gone. Cronulla changed the goal posts.

We are also speaking with another Prop.

 

[cb4]

As for Hodkinson, i'm sold. But I was when he was at Manly.

For me, Robbo goes to hooker, he is a useless halfback, but he can pass and tackler, and provide somewhat of a dummy half kicking game.

I would be happy going into next season with TC and TH steering the ship.

I tellya what Frenzy... this time last year i really thought it was important that he is kept completely happy.... but now to be honest i couldnt give a shit. He is a machine and a cronulla legen sure but if he is all that is keeping pom in the team then thatl do me

 

[cb4]

I don't think that is it. To be honest, Flanno just doesn't rate any of our depth, except our injured centre.

Mills is the same as Pom, just younger, so Flanno is the experience shit > youth shit kinda guy.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

no man is bigger than the team Aus. not Gallen, Not carney and certainly not the special needs penguin.
glad we re signed Toops btw.

Luetele is interesting, he's a good young player but coming off a bad injury.

whats the potential ceiling for him?

 

[Quigs]

How munch did we resign Toops for?

I would want Lafai only. SKD is a glorified Pom. 5 years of Toops is plenty. Leutele good back up only. Lafai seems to have a bit of speed and can score. Fai Fai Loa is not top notch either. Another depth player at best. What about Kevin Locke? If Tomkins to Warriors he is surplus. No way pair at 5/8 with Johnson. Locke to FB and Flash to centre. Watkins from Leeds other centre spot.

 

[cb4]

I like Leutele, he could be anything. Bulked up alot, and looked very quick in the pre season games. 2nd best centre/depth at this point in his career.
