Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

I think we can all agree that metreage by any individual player is a far cry from our main current issue of not dropping the f**king ball. Let's hope Edward Stickyhands is off contract

Not a single NRL team has a pack where everyone makes over 9m per run. Not one. There are Origin players who don't make over 9m per run. 8.5m a run is very good....over 9m is exceptional. It's an asbolutely ridiculous comment to say that every forward should be making over 9m per run....

Panthers so far this season do. I haven't checked others

That bench has less metre making potential than the one we're using. Terepo averaged 80m a game last season at 8m a run. Beau Scott offers very few metres and very little impact in attack, so you're carrying a 60 minute defender on the bench at the expense of a metre maker like Alvaro.

What benefits are there to that pack over the current one??

KE - Provides offloads and breaks tackles.
Terepo - Hits line hard and capable of breaking tackles. Defensively great.
Scott - Start with Brown. I always say start with best 13. Id only give Beaut 30 mins a game and perhaps the last 30 mins to keep things tight.

Terepo is a worse attacking player than Alvaro, their defence is pretty equal, and Peni has hands like feet while Alvaro is quite reliable. Alvaro vs Terepo is a KO victory to Alvaro.

"James Tedesco says his desire to play finals footy will play a big part in deciding which club he signs with."
My question is,
Is he suited to play five-eighth if we had the cap space?

Untrue. Bryce Cartwright 7.9m per run. James Fisher-Harris 6.7m per run

No. To put it simply.

I prefer Terepo as he hurts defense. I was impressed by Alvaro game against sharks thou.
Errors terepo 11 last season same as wicks and less then KE and Manu
Matagi has 4 so far. He will go past 11. Frank already has 3 and barely had game time.

sorry I meant middle forwards.

 

[Eelementary]

Middle forwards as a group are extremely important, but many of the individuals are just cogs.

Yup - fair enough. I can get that.

 

[Eelementary]

Can't see the love for Alvaro, has as much impact as Terepo or Moeroa. All reasonable players, best described as tradesmen players, but won't turn a match. Prefer other players with more skill and impact.

We've got those, though:

Edwards
Ma'u
Vave
Fritchard

I would suspect moving Tedesco to 6 would be an even worse result than when Hayne was moved to the halves initially all those years ago. Hayne at least had a kicking game in him and was a bigger body to be able to defend in the line...

In any case, we haven't played finals footy for longer than the Tigers so we're probably one of the last clubs he'd join if that truly is his motivation!! LOL!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

The Bear is very underrated IMO, and probably only on chump change. He hasn't been our problem.

The Vanilla Gorilla?

Not exactly a Tyson Frizzel their.
Frank looks like a big old slug

The Ivory .....

Oh f**k it....

Vanilla Gorilla is the winner...

The Vanilla Gorilla?

I think thats a keeper.

Apparently he has signed but we ran into problems him and Bernie shook hands. Once they are surgically removed from each other there will be an announcement.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Agree, Beau Scott is well past it.

You literally just said "Bar Scott I reckon most the others could be moved on and most contract taken by other club."

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He means that Scott is so past it that no club will pay much for him.

Exaclty. Alvaro would be on low amount and id say half the nrl would take him and pay more.
Most our props would be wanted by other clubs and most contracts paid in full. Doubt many are on overs. If we can replace one of our 6/10 props with an 8 we should.

For the right price id like Big Ben. We will lose Frank,gower and maybe terepo from top 25.

Scott if say on 400k would be offered 200 max. Mqueen apparently signed for 400k a season and is ok age.
