Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Frankus]

Nah he has been the roosters best forward all year by along way.

Collins has been the Chooks best, just so solid and consistent. He’s a top 5 prop in the game in my opinion. AFB, Haas, JFH, Collins, Tapine.

 

[Frankus]

What I really liked about Crichton in that game tonight, he got stuck in and made some really tough carries when Brisbane kicked deep and tried to put some pressure on.

 

[GowersDallyM]

Broncos are a chance of missing the top 8 now

 

[Fangs]

Crichton is one of the form forwards of the competition. He is in Origin contention.

It also happens to be a contract year for him.

 

[Black Panther]

Trent Toelau upgraded from Train and Trial to top 30. Good player, maybe he could replace Luai next year.

That's not a good thing, coz he'll slack off once a contract is signed

Maybe not at this club but its the concern I have with him.

He wasn't even in first grade to start the year. Looks like the kick up the arse from Robbo has worked on him. But is he going to keep this form up once he signs a cushy three year deal?

 

[Iamback]

I'd be going for one gun forward. Either middle or edge and then work around it

That is it. Too many plodders now and can't replace Fish with another one

 

[Michael Matral]

Stefano is a big no, Huth gains more ground

Huth is 10x better here than he was at the Tigers. Would look great at Penrith.

I agree there is no real replacement for Fish

 

[Black Panther]

Jack Williams, Royce Hunt or NAS.

 

[Black Magik]

I agree there is no real replacement for Fish

I like the look of Willison! Big, young and hard to tackle.

 

[betcats]

Id be happy with Willison

 

[WestyLife]

Not to be that guy but august last year I said

Turns out a good shout. Winder if he sneaks that 6 spot when Luai leaves with a full pre season in the top squad.

He’s got the attacking skills. Played 7 6 and 14 in the cup this year. Going to be insterresting. 3 guys definitely fighting for that spot possibly Laurie as well if he extends

Same

 

[Hooked]

Stefano is a big no, Huth gains more ground

There is more to a prop than metres gained.
How fast does he play the ball?
How hard does he hit the line?
How hard does he hit in defence? do rival forwards avoid him?
How many defenders does he draw in?
How long in a stint before his output drops?
Does he have any 2nd phase play in him?
What is his lateral movement like?
What is his one-on-one defence like?
Can he grind out the metres when we are struggling on our 10 metre line?

I have no idea if Stefano is a target of ours, but I do know his best is yet to come, and he is different style of prop to Huth.

Unfortunately there are generational players that are irreplaceable..

 

[BossleyPanther]

Plus

Plus he doesn't miss many games
