Rumours and Stuff

[Djay]

Outside of Peats and Lichaa there isn't much that catches the eye, I guess your gotta take what you can get at the time hopefully it works out whoever it is because it's a major issue for us currently and it needs to be fixed.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Yeah but he only spells one of them right.

His wife spells her name 'Mickayela'. I'm not kidding.

 

[hineyrulz]

Baptiste???

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

No. Micks are Catholic.

That just seems like asking for trouble.

 

[El Diablo]

And how come we can't sign Meehan if the Broncos were allowed to sign Lodge?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Adam Clydsdale

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Actually think BA and his brain trust need to make a decision on Dargan before we decide what type on hooker and how much we want to spend.

It is quite common for coaches to blood a rookie half of the bench. If Dargan is up to defending in the middle (for 20-30 mins) he could potentially be our 14 next year.

 

[chiefy1]

It's either Jackson Hastings or Craig Garvey

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dargan is our backup left side half or nothing. I don't know if he's off contract but if we re-sign him I wouldn't offer more than a second tier spot for 2018.

 

[hindy111]

Off contract and yes Pou agree. Not like he destroying the other grades.

 

[Jake the snake]

Still don't get all the love for Lichaa, He's has got nothing to his game. He stifles the attack. Dogs were down 20-6 today, he guts subbed with Garvey and Bulldogs comeback and nearly take the game. Lichaa is a massive dud!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Lichaa is obviously down on confidence this year, much like Mitch Moses. Both have much better stats for 2016 than 2017 (per game). Should make them bargain signings.

 

[hindy111]

Lichaa wont be coming. As strider said already signed.

 

[Avenger]

Brett Morris anyone ? How about Blake Ferguson ?

 

[Stagger eel]

I think the pressing issue with us is a starting frontrow, we simply don't have one at the moment

Ferguson would cost to much.

I absolutely agree. Our starting props and hooker are where games are largely been lost early on and the issues through the middle are exacerbating weaknesses on the flanks. Auva'a (especially) and Hoffman are not the most defensively sound centre/wing pairing at the best of times but when our defensive line is constantly retreating due to quick rucks they have next to no chance to make a good defensive play.

Agree Stagger.
Jnr is punching 200 mtrs a game nowdays. We have 5 guys who are ok bench players.

Hoffman offers nothing. In 11 games yet to see any sort of magic. Normally on the wing you get a few chances to do something special. He is average size. And we have him for 2 more seasons.
When Normans back Bevan to wing and drop him. Gutherson to back
