Prepare for some news

[Cold Roses]

so why was the Chad punted the last couple of games of the round ? he was streets ahead of Thomas.

He was. It was clear to a lot of us here at least. But maybe McFadden was concerned at that point about on field leadership in the run to the finals?

Whatever the reason, we probably need to remember that at that point McFaddens first grade coaching resume was less than 20 games old, and even more experienced coaches make bigger selection blunders. For me, the fact that he has at least recognised that it probably wasn't the right move is a positive sign.

Dropping Townsend cost us a spot in the 8 imo. If we sign Beale...

1 tomkins
2 Beale
3 hurrell
4 laumepe
5 vatuvei
6 Townsend
7 Johnson
8 lillyman
9 friend
10 matulino
11 Henry
12 Hoffman
13 mannering

14 leuluai
15 mateo
16 rapira
17 lisione

Id be happy with that round 1.

 

[ozbash]

15 mateo

please god, nooooo

 

[One Warrior]

We may not have to worry about Mateo, there is a lot of noise about him going to Manly.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Mention of K.Beale and you do the noooooo for Feleti? :crazy:

I know we don't have an official dickhead policy, but I'd like to think we have a no complete f**kwits policy. So that rules Kurtley out.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

Wwhhaaaaaattt G.Beale wasn't meant to be THE news??? He wasn't part of the scoop - I don't understand?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Beale - 5 letters
Matai - 5 letters

No coincidence. Learn to spot those typos Mix.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

So the Lion was using a highly encrypted code to keep his media sources off the scent and actually meant a Kiwi centre with 5 letters in his last name was coming?

And Watmough is actually another Aussie 2nd rower with 8 letters in his name? Tony Williams?

This Big news is so flippin intense!

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Ahh, but the plot thickens the more you look at it.

Last time Mateo was off contract the Dragons chased him hard, and in a previous life, Neilsen was a Dragon.

The Dragons forward we will be getting must indeed have 8 characters, so let's see...

So putting six and six together.

Beale swap for Neilsen
Mateo swap for Harrison

Beale and Harrison will be in Warriors colours next year, you heard it here thwice.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Do NOT want Beale at all

Think we're talking about Gerard here, not the union guy.

x 2

Regardless of his talent he will just be a liability with his off-field woes

What off field woes?

We've been linked to Gerard Beale from the Dragons, not Kurtley.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Kata > Beale. As long as the purchase of Gerard doesn't hinder Kata than all good IMO

Fail. Comment retracted.

On that note, chasing another fullback/wing/centre?
Recruitment is obviously adamant we need new backs, I find that weird

Or maybe that there is no decent props that are currently possible to sign, which people seem to be over and over again ignoring.

:lol:

That's pretty much how it goes.

The other issue people ignore is there is a serious shortage of big Props in the Aussie game....there is a shortage in our local game.....

The only competition where the Warriors would have a chance of signing a Big Prop with some go in him is the ESL.

Why did the Roosters go all the Way to Catalan to put out feelers for Casti ? and the Dragons were offshore getting a Small Prop in Mike Cooper ?

The Rabbitohs are staffed by the Poms.


Lisone has a big future ( even though he's not a big guy ) if he can transfer his numbers to over the next two years.

We put up with laissez faire offerings from our current Props because we and other lower NRL teams...have too....there is no big dude factory anymore.

Perhaps Hayne was the #bignews ?

Certainly big news if you are an Eels fan.
