Rumoured Targets 3

[Dr Dr Gimedanews]

From interviews I've seen with Hetherington its 100% attitude. The guy couldnt give 2 f**ks about footy, win or lose no big deal, let alone winning a Premiership. Personally I believe you're born to win, I dont see Hetherington changing anytime soon. Either way I imagine he's on 50 to 60% of what he was being paid in the Knights.

 

[Yosh]

He either plays really effective 30 minutes off the bench every week or is a liability so never sees game day. Hope he goes and makes something of his career there.

 

[mozza91]

Been hearing about his ability for years but he’s never lived up to it. He’s nearly 30 and has a 100 FG games under his belt. Bellamy might get something out of him but we were never going to.

We were never going to ... under AOB.
We are starting a new era now, though, so who knows what is possible.

I do expect him to go better in Melbourne than he did with us, as Bellamy just has that knack to do that sort of thing.

I remember watching him play for the Warriors against the Roosters and absolutely taking it to JWH, may not have won but defo fought him to a draw. I thought at the time he was the next dominant prop.

His career since has been a huge disappointment.

Yup. Waiting to see this amazing athlete we keep being told about. Keeps it well hidden .

It think his athletic ability is pretty plain to see, its his footy IQ and self control thats sub par

 

[Burwood]

Here’s a challenge for you- outside of sin bins, getting baited by the opposition, or trying to start a fight in the tunnel, can you think of a memorable onfield impact Hetherington has had in his time here?

95% of how we view him seems to come from Phil Gould quotes 4-5 years ago about how he’s an “elite athlete” who tested “off the charts”.

100% and thats just the point really. Elite athletes dont necessarily translate into elite footballers.

Coming through the juniors you can be the biggest and fasteset and fittest and make an impact. Once you get to the elite levels playing men though it takes more and Jack clearly doesnt have it.

If there is a coach with a hope of getting even consistent NRL footy out of him its Bellamy but I still think the chances are slim.

20y/o winger

We are leading race to sign Jesse Colquhoun with Perth also keen. Not sure about this one. His injury history is a shocker. Talent undeniable.

Big boy, right age, decent talent and a position of need.

He is a 'Gong boy, hopefully Newcastle appeals.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

What’s the bet the NRL say no?

They said yes

 

[mozza91]

Sweet. Reckon he gets some First Grade next year? If you’re good enough you’re old enough.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Doubt he sees any 1st grade unless we have a really bad injury toll but theres a good chance he plays some Cup

 

[macavity]

We have signed centre Brendan Couzens from Manly Flegg. Was their POTY last year.

Saw a thing on Facebook (almost certainly bullshit) about Payne Haas being in Newy for Christmas and potentially signing. Would give Ponga and my left nut for that.

Moley reported it. So it obviously completely taken out of context

I believe haas is just visiting family in Newcastle over the holidays

 

[Nuke]

Yeah, I reckon unless he was photographed touring the facilities, signing a contract, smiling and handshaking our recruitment officer, all the while with a strawberry milkshake in this other hand, I'd suggest we can put a red line through that one.
