Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

Yeah that's exactly the type of merkin we want. Another boofhead that can't crack 100m+ consistently or when the big games come around.

Over rated...unless wearing a Maroon jumper.

Give me Junior Paulo please!!!

Rammy wanting a fat, lazy, *cough*pepper albeit hard ball runner over a hard working, hard hitting, successful whitie

 

[84 Baby]

Give me Napa over Paulo any day. He didn’t fire in prelim final no, but Paulo gone missing much more this year.

I'd take either honestly. Napa is the better player but Paulo may be more the style prop we need

 

[hindy111]

Either would improve our props. Both would be our No 1 Prop. And improve our power rankings

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

JWH makes 37 metres per game, and 3 tackles per game more than Napa. And it's not due to minutes on the park. And he's not a ranga.

 

[hindy111]

The fact Alvaro is now our No 1 prop is worrying. He wouldn't make most teams starting side and plenty not even on the bench.
We have about 6 props who are quality wise all between 5-6/10. All first graders but nothing great and none with any real potential to become elite.

Paulo got Canberra player of the season

Not saying he deserved it but it happened

I suspect they were buttering him up cos he might be unsettled

Stats might look good on paper. But it doesnt factor in Clutch....Look at Cahill, Didn't do much last night. Had 2 chances and what happens? He is clutch.
In NFL 2/3QBs of week where in top3 performances for losing teams. Rodgers who didnt feature won the game for Green bay with 1 min on clock and final drive. CLUTCH.

Moses will be clutch. Norman i am unsure.
Now One thing Jnr can do is thet one big charge that changes momentum. Same as Kasiano. We do not have that. Forget how many this or that. You also need game breakers. We lack a game breaking prop.

Not sure I can agree with that - I think he'd easily make the top 17 at most top 4 clubs; he's the ideal type of player that the Storm love, and his energy and defence make him a valuable contributor.

He'd easily start for the Cowboys ahead of Fensom imo.

Alvaro is under-rated, and the only reason I can see why is because he's not flashy (despite scoring two cracking tries already in his career).

Agreed. The Vanilla Gorilla needs to get himself some corn rows, grow a goatee and maybe a couple of neck tattoos and he will be talked about in Origin conversations...

 

[84 Baby]

And improve our power rankings

Well sign them both up! Power wankings are where it’s at! Move over Billy Beane, brandy111 has the new stat for performance

My power ranking almost predicted the exact ladder placings.5 weeks out.
It also picked a win in grand final to storm in easy fashion.

I use a complex system.

An Offload or break some more tackles will do.

Cahills stats are awesome on paper. He has scored 50 f**king goals for us!

My system isn’t as complex but it has accurately predicted you’re full of shit

 

[hindy111]

Only 85% of the time

 

[strider]

I don't have a system, but I could still tell the storm were gonna piss it in

Talking soley on last nights game. He did nothing. Contributed stuff all. But when had to chances? Well......

Thats a system. Simple one.
Your brain could be size of an acorn.

That's not very nice. What if he has a very small head? An acorn might be as big as it can get...
