Rumoured and Confirmed Signings and Even More Crap XII

[Utey]

Bare in mind that Santi as far as I'm aware is not officially signed.

Makes sense, or else they'd have included that in the presser.

 

[Stagger eel]

Any truth to the Matt prior rumour ?

No idea..

But I'm hearing 1 or maybe 2 more additions

 

[oldmancraigy]

That's just the thick horizontal stripes on his uniform. They're not very slimming.

ah!

Deceived again

I think he's 190+cm tall - so he's a presence

Clues please.

Parramatta have also signed former Australian Schoolboys lock Brendan Santi from Wests Tigers for two years and are in discussions with Santi?s Tigers? teammate Matt Groat.

 

[Jodeci]

Not quite..

C'mon on Stagger

Give us something otherwise I might give Henry's Dream a call instead

Yeah - Hock might "only" weigh 100kgs, but he looks kind of massive on the field...

Good speed on that left edge. Can hit in D.

I'm also forgetting that Lasalo looks like he's eaten a multi-unit McDonalds franchise out of Big Macs.

I'll be very happy if that's what he's indicating.

For sure, and it's no problem when looking at individual players. Just from a balance perspective (in 2014) I thought we might have looked for a bigger bopper (given that Hock is only 100kg too, and our existing backrow are also average size at best). Cue all the Loko to backrow posts.....

Greg Bird is 182cm and 102kg.

Matt Gillet is 187cm and 103kg.

Anthony Watmough is 181cm and 94kg.

Gareth Hock, at 191cm and 100kg, is hardly a small bloke. And given the way he plays, size means nothing - he's insanely angry and tough, regardless of his size.

And given that many people thought Anthony Watmough was one of NSW's best forwards in Origin III, I find this talk of Hock being "too small" very perplexing...

Did you read my post? I didn't say any individual was too small. I simply said that in the interests of balance it my be an idea to have some bigger blokes in the equation as well. Who said Hock was too small?

That surprises me that Watmough is only 94kg. I thought he would have been a hungee for sure.

Stop backtracking. If you didn't think he was too small then why did you start up the website www.hockistoosmall.com.au?

That's the website for Hockistoo's Mall, a major shopping center in outback NSW, just near Wanaaring.

I was just nipping it in the bud. It's no secret that I am a huge Hock fan, but as soon as the rumour that we were starting to sign him surfaced, people started moaning at his size (because apparently 100kg is too light).

I wasn't specifically targeting the post at you; I was merely illustrating that he is a big bloke, despite what some here have previously said.

Both he and Mossop will be great additions.

Ah yes, I believe that is where Parra Pete buys all of his discount jokes.

That's right. Anyone who has been to your website www.hugehockfan.com.au would know that.

I reckon you're right (certainly with Mossop....Hock if he stays on field). This current discussion just started when I pointed out that Santi was 95kgs, and wasn't quite the body-type of backrower that we might be missing. He'll probably crush the opposition and win the Dally M and rookie of the year now.
