I disagree, you're dreaming on Taupau and Te'o even with third party arrangements I can't see us having enough. Te'o would probably want around $600k and Taupau around $550k. Shadow we just don't have that money in the cap for both. Whatever you say won't change my mind.
Brown still has to prove himself too and show he's learning.
If Cody was that good he would have already played first grade shadow. NSW Cup is completely different to NRL. The step up is really big.
You do realise Cody will be used in trials but then sent back to Norths and will be called up only if Reynolds or Keary get injured. Cody is a handy back up to have though but you are overrating him.
Sutton is not mediocre so you're wrong this time. Carter isn't mediocre either.
We know there are fringe first graders/too many interchange players. With the salary cap that's the way it is though as I've said many times.
Once again I repeat Sutton and Carter are not mediocre. I disagree!!!!!!!!!
rabbits20 all our forwards are useless except for grevs and the twins the rest are very mediocre!!!!
I hate it when people talk constant sh*t about our players.
I'll do it once in a while when a player does something bad, but i'll still support them.
Anyway Shadow, let's compare Brisbane's GF pack to the one we have...
8. Thaiday - 181cm, 110kg
10. Blair - 188cm, 108kg
11. Glenn - 181cm, 101kg
12. Gillett - 187cm, 102kg
13. Parker - 188cm, 102kg
14. Jarrod Wallace - 189cm, 108kg
15. Mitchell Dodds - 185cm, 107kg
16. Joe Ofahengaue - 187cm, 112kg
If you can analyse that, it shows that NONE OF THEM ARE OVER 190CM OR 115KG.
I'd dare say now that smaller, more agile forward packs are the way of the future, especially with the lack of interchange.
We have this and we can definitely use it to our advantage.
So Shadow, i'd dare say you keep your trash talk to yourself, because you're starting to look like an idiot.
Toss in Josh McGuire,SOO forward at 180 cm & 106 kgs.
We do need more in our forwards to make up a bit of ground on the top teams but we're certainly not too poor in general.
We have a few pluggers but most teams do----they're not old pluggers either so there is hope for improvement.
Let's see how a couple of our NYC forwards perform in top company too.
In truth,there doesn't appear to be any quality about to throw money at either!

Doyen spot on. Great truth tellingToss in Josh McGuire,SOO forward at 180 cm & 106 kgs.

Yep exactly.
I think we should try go for James Gavet, whom the Broncos just released.
Sure he has some issues with discipline but we can fix that. Remember when Sam was a young tearaway that gave away penalties and dropped the ball every second carry?
The likes of Brock Gray, Zane Musgrove and Nathan Brown excite me in terms of potential.
I think we can benefit from the new interchange rules.

all those players can dent the opposition line. while on our
team, only t. burgess, g. burgess and grevsmuhl can.![]()
Great post mate.
Apparently besides the twins and Grevo all other forwards are shit.
Well Sutto is very very good in the back row and Carter has a very good ability too, as does Brown. I expect Brown to improve. At the end of last season in the last month Clark played very well too and can be good off the bench.
Musgrove could surpise too!!!
Shadow reckons we could afford Taupau and Te'o for 2016. It's not possible as we'd need over 1million.
R95 tbh shadow is beginning to lose the plot a bit!!!
Oi R20, shadow never had the plot in the beginning!
