Rumours and Stuff

[Gazzamatta]

The courts could gift wrap Third Leg Greg a spot in a few weeks I guess.

Whats happened to S. Schutte 40?

 

[Forty20]

Picked up an injury right at the end of the preseason and missed the first round or two for Wenty, if I recall correctly. Sort of got caught in the wash up of a backline shuffle or two and ended up covering at fullback until Will Smith returned. George Jennings has been very solid on one flank throughout all of Wenty's tribulations while Bureta Faraimo has been doing a fair job on the other. With John Folau now returning from injury the backfield for reserve grade is really crowded even if the team has been struggling.

So are we getting Moses now or what?

Apparently last week, notsure about this week though...


I kill me sometimes lol

Josh massoud thinks so.

Yes, that would do it. But I also guess that if Moses joins us early and French is fit then there won't be a spare wing spot.

david riccio is saying the tigers might release him on wednesday so we can't name him to play against panthers
i think its a merkin move myself either you are releasing him or keeping him why stuff him (and us) around what does it gain you?

 

[jk13]

Because it's upsetting them or could have ramifications with their supporter base. It's a no win situation for them and if they're smart, the quicker it ends the better it will be in the long run

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

If they don't hurry the f**k up we might not give them French in exchange.

They have every right to do it when they want to and to be honest they may seriously to get it it done by the time we officially submit our 21 man squad tomorro...

So any chance Scott gets dropped for Kenny Edwards return this week?
We haven't gone with a spare edge forward on the bench for the last 2 weeks (Scott/Vave/Alavaro/Terepo) so the only option for Edwards that would give us a similar feel as the last few weeks is Scott out, Edwards in and Tepai to stay on the right edge.

i agree it's up to them and if they decide to keep him for the rest of the year they are quite entitled to do so i just got caught up on the idea of them waiting until wednesday just to stuff us around out of spite

there could be other reasons

 

[jk13]

I assume Scott might miss a week due to Injury, but we are seriously missing someone to lead line speed in defence if he's out.

 

[strider]

TBH the smart move would be to wait and let him miss a week ... i would have no problem with that at all

Might be in our best interests to not rush him in anyway

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

FWIW, I think Cleary was saying that he wanted to hear Mitchell Moses ask for a release personally, rather than his agent (father) do so.

Read somewhere we can apply for an extension to name our side by Wednesday afo which would probably be accepted by the NRL.

As we played on a Monday which isn't a regular total slot it is apparently unfair to expect us to name a side less then 24 hours later.

No chance Scott gets dropped.

Maybe a bench of:

Scott
Edward
Peni / Alvaro
Vave

I reckon it is a decent win for them, Tigers aren't winning the comp this year so they might as will start looking towards the forward. But what really helps is it frees up approx $200-250k of their cap. That's a nice bonus to help with rebuilding!!

 

[Gazzamatta]

Ive always been a Mannah fan but there is something not quite right there. Low minutes and low energy. Id have Alvaro way ahead of Tim at the moment.

I would have expected scott to have a rest at times during this season ... he's not getting any younger ... if he's got any niggling injury, im sure a rest might be an option

I would find it hard to drop Peni ... or Alvaro ... or Vave .... they have been solid lately

I think we really need kenny's energy, but perhaps he could do with a week for wenty to get some match fitness???

Yep he probably will be injured.

I would be playing KE, we need him. He will be fine.
