Our pack 2014

[The Showstopper]

This is fast becoming a case of we know who but don't want to say. Fair enough.

Well I'm not putting much stock in the 80 minute thing.

We would be chasing a front-rower to replace Packer, our back row stocks are great(Scott, Smith and Rochow who got Wayne's Coach's Award last year).

It has to be a front-rower and hence I don't get the 80 minute player comment, because 80 minute front-rowers don't exist(outside the odd monstrous Graham/S Burgess/Tolman effort...but certainly none of the props on that list).

The 80 minute player comment is in referral to a player in that list who a few of us were confident it was. However, reading your breakdown, I missed one piece of information:

The mail is a high profile queenslander.

The player I and others thought it might be was a NSWelshman playing in Queensland, one who is capable of playing 80 minutes.

Since then, I've revised my thought process, and reckon I've got a damn good idea of who it is. Although I did say that before haha

 

[Spot On]

In that case, is it fair to say that a certain LU member will be even more pissed off with the Knights than usual if this signing eventuates?

 

[Swarzey]

You people and your clues. :x

 

[Knight Vision]

Dam, I was convinced it was shillington

It's supposed to be a player that's far from past it. I think Shillington is welll on the way to past it.

 

[Swarzey]

Jeez if we get that bloke it would be awesome. Would also be some karma on a certain club for what some of their leading players did to one of ours last year

This almost convinces me that it's Scott. Thurston telling the NRL to throw the book at Snowy for his incident, Scott being a high profile Queenslander.

Not everyone was on the same page JM. Different people were saying they were confident about two different players. Both would be awesome, though. So it probably won't be either...

Yeah I think it's now established that people had their wires crossed.

You can probably figure out who my guess is. I would be very happy if it was true but I'm not sure others would.

Class over form for me. The right environment brings out form in players, especially this guy usually.

 

[K-Man]

Ricky Stuart doesn't like Shillington. I have that on fairly good authority. Whether it means anything to us, I've got no idea.

Yeah, I was thinking of an 80 minute NSWelshman playing in a Queensland team.

I'm not confident of who it is if it's definitely a QLDer tbh.

 

[The Showstopper]

i think it really depends on what you are looking for as a fan. I feel in time whoever we sign will be a real massive boost to our title aspirations. The two that i have it down to are big units.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Has anyone ever considered this to be an epic troll from rnb?

 

[Frederick]

If it is then he's a dead man :lol:

I'm confident it's not though. Rnb11 is a man with connections

 

[TooheysNew]

If it's who I've heard, 80 minute player is wrong.

 

[Swarzey]

Well, in the year that I've been here, he's been the best source for latr changes n such. Considering how much we paid Packer and Quinn's retirement, the funds are there to sign a big name.

Otherwise, it's pitchforks and torches.

 

[Apey]

Yeah I think it's now established that people had their wires crossed.

I was basing it purely on reading all the previous versions of edited posts to get exact names, haha. Haven't been following the discussion that closely besides that.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Could it be Cameron smith? He plays 80 min is a forward from qld and far from past it

 

[The Showstopper]

I would be placing bets on Smith staying a Stormer for life. I have little doubt now from the mail doing the rounds.

 

[The Showstopper]

There is a reason we are waiting for the new recruit. With Quinn's retirement we have basically got 500 k plus to throw at said player albeit back ended from next year. Packer was a serious talent. A real shame we have to find a replacement. My understanding is Packer was to be on Snowden type dollars. That alone stunned me.

I think your source is wrong.
