Rumours and Stuff

How big is Lorenzo?

I'm not sure exactly but he's not big at all and still growing.

he will be a stocky solid 6 and size may well be an issue but he's the best 6 to come out of our pathways since Brown I'm almost certain of it.

EXCLUSIVE: Mal Meninga to coach Perth Bears

In a huge coup, Rugby league immortal Mal Meninga is set to be unveiled as the inaugural coach of the Perth Bears. 6PR Radio Perth Live presenter Oliver Peterson revealed the current coach of the Australian Kangaroos is expected to link up with New South Wales Blues assistant coach Matt King...

Does this mean BA extends at Rouse Hill, sorry at Leeds Rhinos?

Ryles was going to play Papalii in dummy half until Penisini got knocked out.

He must trust his defence if he was prepared to defend him in the middle.

And yes its easier to be isolated on an edge then in the middle.

But Ryles must have faith if he is prepared to play him there

I think we'll hear his name pop up again for the Newcastle and Manly jobs but he may need to spend another year in Leeds.

I'm sure we'd go better with Flanagan at 6 than Papalii. I just don't think St George would let him go.

So for some reason you believe it would be good business and sensible to sign a player that was on decent money at Sharks, Roosters and Dogs and was let go early due to his inability to be as good as needed.

Most of us would try hard, but that’s not enough to take a player like that on board. We have tried moneyball signings since the GF, and it hasn’t worked. Either sign players from the rep level or bring your own juniors through. As usual you post for the sake of it , not to make sense which is a shame as sometimes you have a decent idea.

Titans/Cowboys as well..

Heck even West Tigers may be looking for a new coach in 2 years...

He looks good in a Manly cap & shirt does BA.

I hope he ends up back there.

All jokes aside I do reckon he will eventually get another gig in the NRL. I’m certain he is a better coach than those current 2 boofheads at Newcastle and Manly respectively.

Yep i agree

O'Brien is useless as tits on a bull & Seibold is a clueless idiot who thinks his smart because he went to Harvard.

I reckon you are right but it’s interesting that for some reason he seems to often be linked to clubs where his sons are at.

Small. But if Ezra Mam can make it, maybe Talataina can. He's another huge talent, but size is a barrier to defending at NRL level.

I’m not a fan of halves with a small stature. Moses used to be tiny too but he filled out and is close to 6 foot tall. I’d give a big offer to a player like Ethan Strange if he became available or Savala.

 

[emjaycee]

I reckon Joash, Ronald and Dean will fill our number 6 needs until Lorenzo is ready.

So for some reason you believe it would be good business and sensible to sign a player that was on decent money at Sharks, Roosters and Dogs and was let go early due to his inability to be as good as needed.

I think he was moved on because he was overpaid. If he was no good he wouldn't still be playing.

Most of us would try hard, but that’s not enough to take a player like that on board. We have tried moneyball signings since the GF, and it hasn’t worked.

We made those types of signings in the years leading up to the grand final and it did work.

Either sign players from the rep level or bring your own juniors through.

We've been doing that. But an NRL team doesn't just need Origin class players, it also needs (many) solid first graders. It's fine bringing them through if you have them coming through, but if you don't have them (or if they're not ready yet) you have to go to market.

As usual you post for the sake of it , not to make sense which is a shame as sometimes you have a decent idea.

As usual you make a personal attack. Blocked and reported.

Like Leeds or Perth? Fans pushing a nepotism narrative are the only ones linking him to Newcastle or Manly.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Dolphins are taking a home game to Darwin for the next 3 years.

I wonder if they will ask the NRL to play us.

I am linking him to both those clubs as the current coaches suck balls..

JA is off contract at the end of this season at Manly I don't think they will resign him. The Flegg kids at Manly look good enough to be decent backups.

MA I think won't get Infront of Crossland either.
Bad move by him probably would have been playing NRL at the Eels..

That's would be funny!

That Sandon Smith merkin is a jockey anyway.
