Robbie Farah 'excited' about 2010 season

[Talanexor]

Moltzen should be your halfback but you just know Sheens is going to shaft him around the field, probably play a couple of games in the backrow, then end up at fullback when he realises that Lazarus isn't up to NRL standard, Tuquri is past it and Mitch Brown is awful, just awful.

Team looks good on paper, but not because of these wonderful signings Sheens has made. Ellis is still a better signing than any you've made for 2010.

And unless any of those players can kick goals you're going to miss the 8 AGAIN. The loss of Hodgeson left a massive hole in your team that still hasn't been filled.

Came across this article somewhere, made me laugh. Apparently Thurston kicks better than Benji even when BLINDFOLDED.

Is he slow or just a bit slower than what he used to be?

I just watched a couple of highlights of him tearing up for QLD in various positions. I was going to compare him to our other players to do this. And well, obviously it didn't last long.

Well you'd be comparing Tuqiri from what, 8 years ago, to our players today.

Given he's older and has been playing that bludgers game, it is very obvious now that he isn't even half the player he used to be.

We have prevously discussed here in a thread WT kicking options and somewhat widespread agreement Benji should not be the #1 kicker as he is too erratic. There are options eg Flanagan / Mullaney- both raw for NRL but possible. I suppose it ends up seeing what magical combinations Teflon pulls out of his hat for the trials and the first NRL game. But yes, Teflon thinks the suns shines out of Benji's ar*e and if Teflon had his way we would have 1 x Farah and 12 x Benji taking the field each game.

Let's start with this.

1. He's good.

2. The other options are not.

Want me to keep going? I'll even use your point against you if you want.

Even Tuqiri at half what he used to be is an improvement over the likes of Ryan, Fitzy (God forbid he actually gets a jersey), Brown, Daniella.....he may not be the same player he was but he isn't going to suddenly be sh*thouse either.

I always chuckle at how some people brand players that chase money through other codes as disloyal. I presume you've never changed jobs to increase your earning potential madunit?

I certainly hope he proves me wrong.

I'm extremely doubtful though.

They aren't that far behind though, and most of them have youth on their side. Tuqiri doesn't.

You can if you like.

Fact is, we are dealing entirely with opinion and speculation, because we have no facts to rely upon as Tuqiri hasn't played top grade league for almost a decade.
