Rumoured Signings and Even More Crap X

[Stagger eel]

Yeah, so...we're in the market and probably in need more than any other team to be honest and we should have more then enough to make it happen.

And if that statement is true, I call that a opportunity and a blessing. He wants to leave and we want a hooker. So great come on board Apisai.

Apisai is still a chance.. Just been told

 

[Gronk]

We'll have two Api Alphabets then.

Thanks Staggs...excellent news. Boy I would be stoked if we grabed him somehow.

On Apisai Koroisau, I think this guy is an absolute star.

If anything Kaysa Pritchard is at best in my opinion maybe 20-25 % chance of making it long term in the NRL, due to his lack of size and strength. But for people that haven't seen what Apisai can do he has SIZE, STRENGTH and SKILLS, behind him that we can only dream we had from our dummy half.

Check this out.

Apisai is 172cm and 85kg and also two years older. Pritchard has just turned 19 and is 170cm and 79kg - he will easily put a few more kgs on over then few years by the time he is 21 - so really there aren't any real differences in size between the two.

I admit I have not watched a lot of Pritchard but he did spend a few games at lock last indicating he must be a pretty strong defender for his size.

Yes but I think Apisai is a much better player.

I don't recall seeing Pritchard miss tackles against the Cowboys, and I recall seeing Tamou and Scott targeting him. He actually looked to defend pretty well despite his size.

I've kept a close eye on Kaysa in the under-20s, and I've seen him do most of what Api did in the highlights video except for the feats of strength - Kaysa is more of a finesse player.

I'd be happy with a potential hooking combo of Pritchhard and Api tbh.

I don't know about that ram but he's ahead of him in his development, no question there... I saw the kid play a few weeks ago against wenty and whilst he's a very crafty player from dummy half he has some deficiencies in defense that need addressing, he got his head in the way of Taulima and KO'd himself...

I watched the video, impressive.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I saw Ben Roberts highlights video. It was impressive too.

Yeah, but they could only find enough highlights to make a 10 second video

 

[Maroubra Eel]

lol so true

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

:lol:

I would like to see a video of him knocking himself out trying to tackle Tautai as Stagger said.

Wenty play Norths in round 20 at Ringrose, i'll be keen to see how he goes, whether we sign him or not.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I'm just so happy we only have to wait until 2015 to get our dummy half problem sorted.

[mickdo]

3 year plan?

Agree, Damn the new Board!!!

 

[Stagger eel]

3P are gone, we'll win the comp now... So the hooker thing is all academic anyway...

Didn't miss any against the Broncos either.

He was almost "Cam Smith" like in his ability to get away with forward passes. Sign him up.

Excellent point Mr Elephant.
