Pre-season Challenge vs Pennys Sat 11 Feb @ 6pm | Kayo | Foxtel

i am shocked how little talent we have the reserve spine.... if people arnt worried about losing mitch, they should be.

We wouldn’t be losing him this year. That’s the only year that matters when you’re talking about our backups.

Meanwhile the news corpse review is just scathing of Hodgson and Arthur.

Rankin should not be a half in reserve grade.

It was one game ffs, in a non-competitive game against probably the best defensive team in reserve grade. He had a poor game but it doesn’t mean he’ll play like that every week. It also doesn’t mean any other reserve grader would’ve gone any better.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

nah mate he’s not worth a million and ja is more than capable. I seen a 13 second highlights reel of ja, he’s the goods. And fast too.

You really think it’s between Moses and Arthur? Absolutely no idea.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Proszenko's review is pretty scathing of Arthur, Rankin, Hodgson, and (by inference in a well-beaten forward pack) Matterson.

Panther tyros humble Moses-less Eels as St Helens down Dragons

Mitchell Moses didn’t even have to step onto the field to highlight his worth as Penrith defeated Parramatta 22-16, while the Super League champions showed flashes of brilliance in their trial win.

Is this the journo trying to push the idea that our backups should dictate Moses’ price?

Sports media sells melodrama to bogans. You are lapping it up.

 

[Gazzamatta]

At least Carey’s chasing the Big Bash Booooooooost point!!

F'n reverse sweeps. Same dismissal both innings. Ban the reverse sweep whoever the Aussie coach is. Ffs!

"They conceded two length-of-the-field tries after coughing up the ball while pressing the Panthers’ line and it was largely due to the indecision of their halves."

Wasn't it due to Hodgson going for the glory play on the Penrith tryline, and then Greig throwing a shit pass behind everyone on a shift play?

"The selection of Arthur, son of coach Brad Arthur, ignited a barrage of criticism last season and his performance on Saturday will do nothing to quell it."

Sports 'journos' obviously read social media. How else to figure out the best way to stir up the bogans.

 

[hineyrulz]

And Pou seemed to be stirred up by the fact that all the bogans are stirred up.

Do you really think it’s outside the realm of possibility for JA to be our starting 7 in 2024 if Moses doesn’t sign? I’d like to think it is, but I think it’s certainly an option BA would consider.

I think the coaching staff know he is average. They've seen to much of him now.

 

[Happy MEel]

I think the coaching staff know he is average. They've seen to much of him now.

The question is whether the coaching staff are prepared to go into the season with a (below) average half? I’d like to think not but who knows.

No. Id say we will only consider him if we really rate one of our younger halves and maybe don't want to blood them untill mid 24

If they rate one of our younger halves then maybe yes. Have 24 as a building year.

 

[Gronk]

The gestapo will be after you for that honest comment

So who has defended him ?

 

[Jake the snake]

The secret Arthur police have started….

 

[Gronk]

We’d be better off with Gutho at 6 and Dylan at 7. Then find a fullback. Maybe Russell or just buy one.

Hopefully either Sanders or Lynn can fill the void in late 24 or start 25.

Yeah BA would consider it because it’s his son. His judgement is clouded. The kid would not get a contract anywhere else.

 

[IFR33K]

Yeah BA would consider it because it’s his son. His judgement is clouded. The kid would not get a contract anywhere else.

But we’ve been well informed he had 4 clubs chasing him.

The only thing going on here is that you lot are desperately trying to keep the Jake conspiracy theory balloon in the air.

You should refocus your energy on who is #2 hooker in the club IMHO.

 

[hindy111]

If we can get the tigers to do a swap for N.Brown and W.Smith it would be smart.
He would be an upgrade on any possible 14 we have.
