Rumours and Stuff

It would serve the Tigers right for not letting him go beforehand. We wouldn't be taking him injured, and then they wouldn't get their cap space back.

Are we committed to taking him though?

Not an issue, we will just park the contract in someones desk draw and pretend it never happened

Apparently we lodged the contract with the NRL last Thursday, but still have to wait the 10 day cooling off period.

has Pricey had a whinge yet?

One thing that irked me massiveky on sunday was the Warriors crawled off the mark over and over - taking the markers out of play ... ref never made em go back and play it on the mark ... i know it happens a bit, but this was much more than usual

But i started thinking, maybe it was as much about us not wrestling well enough on the ground to stop em???

First two tackles in the game they walk off the mark by 2m and guess what, we got penalised. With Perenara controlling the game I was hardly surprised.

he was engaged so they rang Bert instead

Oh great ...

I haven't seen a player play more like Kenny than Moses. Yet Kenny bags him. Moses will be a superstar for us.

PS My Tigers' mate tells me that Moses' goalkicking is crap. Could Gutherson keep being our goal kicker?

Pou, find the stats now!!!

Not for this year. If he is injured this week, we may decide not to seek an early release and let the tigers pay him $250k for sitting on the sidelines.

I remember being unimpressed with Moses' goalkicking. Gutherson has improved hasn't he?

This season
Gutherson is kicking 71.43% (up from 66.67% career)
Moses is kicking 77.78% (up from 66.67% career)

Gutherson has a pretty small goalkicking sample size - only attempted 3 goals before this season, and his stats this year are no doubt affected by his 3 from 7 performance in the howling gale down in the Gong in round 2 (aside from that he is 12 from 14 for 86%)

In a nutshell, hard to know at the moment. Moses looks good this year, but if Gutherson keeps kicking like he has aside from the Dragons game, then he looks like an 80%+ kicker.

Gutherson improved his kicking technique massively from 2016-17. Looks a reasonable striker off the tee at the moment and could conceivably be a career ~80% kicker. Not fussed who ends up kicking between he and Moses though (or any of our potential recruits given our funds available), having multiple decent goal kicking options is far-cry from recent years.

If a bloke knows he is going to play limited minutes he can work harder while he's on the field. So if Lichaa was only going to play 60 minutes (like Peats did last year with Kritchard coming off the bench) then he could probably get close to his current 40 tackles in that time.

Or as you say, he could play the full 80 and f**k Kritchard off like so many want. But keep in mind that Kritchard was in our round one top 17 last year with Peats. I'm not the only f**ken idiot who rates him.

Actually I think you'll find that Peats played 73 minutes per game for us in 2016 with Kaysa playing the undersized middle forward role when he came on for the majority of the time...but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

6 of the top 8 teams last year used a hooker averaging over 70 minutes. It could logically be argued that teams are likely to have a higher chance of success having the same hooker on the field for pretty much the entire game and not requiring a second hooker on the bench. We both agree that Kaysa is incapable of this. This is why I think we should be looking to rissole him to Wenty as an adequate back up and find a hooker who can play to a first grade standard for 70-80 minutes. Perhaps if taka is on the bench he could provide cover if required for a very short stint.

I'm pretty sure Peats played longer minutes when he got to the Titans, blowing out his season average.

But the point is Kritchard was top 17 just like he is now.

Kiss of death. Bye bye Moses.
