Rumours and Stuff

At his best when he had more of a running game I rate Fensom at least as good as Tongue.

Fensom hasn't had a running game for years, was a good first grader when he first started but is now a plodder. There is a reason Ricky is moving him on. Bateman also looks a good young prospect.

Yep, pretty much what I already said.

B Smith before he didn't his knees was an excellent centre, then did a serviceable job in the back row. Fensom was only ever just a decent first grader.

Ben was never the same after he didn't his knees.

Mate, Smith was an ok centre before he did his knees, but nothing special. After he did his knees he was terrible, could hardly even run.
Fensom at his best had a great running game and has always been a terrific defender, often making over 40 tackles a game and it was not unusual to see him notch up over 50. The Qld origin camp said a number of times over the years if Fenson was a Queenslander they'd pick him for their team. And they've been pretty successful over the past 11 odd years.
These days Fensom looks tired and word down. That's not to say with a change of club and new coaching he might not find some of his best form.
But he was and still is a much better player than Smith who was ok at best with a pretty small work rate.

What ends now?

This. Obviously.

Foran's cap price was reportedly only $800k. Not bad for a bloke who's never been suspended for a quarter of a season for drug possession.

Even the games he played he never was the best on field. Norman on the other hand......

At 800k it wasn't as bad a price TBH. But the fact the TPA's where going to count made it a sour blow.

This. Obviously.

But it hasn't.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But it hasn't.

Hmm. Maybe now?

I like how everyone was saying Bellamy has turned Morgan into a superstar. He has been dropped to reserves.....

What it has shown thou is he is a solid first grade player And doesn't deserve to mocking he cops on here.

Maybe.

Nup.

Morgan is like Kelly, both try their best but are not quality NRL players, (especially KELLY because he plays such a crucial position).
What Morgan's play at Melbourne continues to show is if you have a sensational spine, you can have average to ok players in the team around them and the team will be successful.
Its why we played so well with the Norman, Foran, Peats combo, and got by with a solid and experienced Gordon.

Is this a double negative?

Our squad next season -

1 Gutherson
2 Semi
3 Jennings
4 Taka
5 Bevan
6 Norman
7
8 Mannah
9
10
11 Manu
12 Scott
13 Tepai

14 Kaysa
15 Wicks
16 Alvaro
17 Vae

All these guys can do a job but I would rather see them not in our top 17 if we are at our fittest to start the season.
Gower-Obrien-Terepo-Twal-Tanginoa

I think we need to find a good hooker along with someone to play in the halves and a top line front rower.
If Gutherson went into the halves and Bevan to fullback we could go that way and find someone on the wing.

Are you a double negative?

 

[hindy111]

If we do not improve our 7 -9 -10 we will still put a good side on the field and compete in every game. But I do not see us being a premiership force.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Nup.

Bugger.
