Rumours and Stuff

[Stagger eel]

Are you saying there might be better options than Napa available?

no i'm not,,,

look at snoochies post above.

the roosters won't be letting napa go anyway, they rarely let 2 blue chip players go within a month..

 

[El Diablo]

Think the chances of Napa coming here about same odds as JC turning up this Christmas.

Julian Clary?

 

[El Diablo]

I’m told that we’re not looking at Latu just yet

are we talking to him

 

[El Diablo]

Pearce isn't blue chip

But they could sign 5 if they did.

Based on the current climate with contract etc. I would argue that they mean nothing if you have enough money.

For example, player X is on 350k and is underpaid. Parra staffers to to player X's manager and say "if only he was available, we'd pay him 600k".

Then it steamrolls from there.

That being said, who is your pick of the props? Ignoring Roosters because it sounds like they wont let go of a Napa or a JWH.

For mine, I would either want a Napa or Klemmer.

is that because Napa could be still on?

Klemmer is a better prop than Napa. Much better in attack. Napa is quite overrated because of his agro. He misses a lot of tackles and his carries aren’t especially strong. I can see why the Chooks might be looking to save some cash on him.

Yes he would walk into our top 17 but he’s far from elite.

He went pretty good in all three Origin matches.

Paul Vaughan would have been a good pick up, his stats for 2017 are brilliant!!!

Can't believe BA didn't even talk to him!!

 

[hineyrulz]

Ok cheers mate.

FFS someone else BA hasn’t talked too.

 

[TheRam]

Think Ram is talking about him as a middle forward Pou. Yes would love to have him or Latu or even both.

At this stage of his career I would have him come on and do whatever Vave is meant to do.

 

[hineyrulz]

Pearce isn't blue chip

He’s brown shit.

Let's party like it's page 1999.

Let's party like it's page 1999.

Or fix your setttings

 

[hindy111]

Klemmer,RCG, Bromwich, Vaughan are best proos in comp.
But the year prior Ryan James was right up there as was JWH and M.Scott.

Nappa is tough but isn't anywhere in the same ball park as above.
Not saying he cant be. Look at Brown.

it's page 800 ffs

So was Moses but his defence improved dramatically in only a few weeks when he came here. From what I've been told the coaches here teach players the right techniques, obviously most coaches do not because Moses had a few coaches at the Tigers.

Imo, there's a massive difference between a half who does not defend well (who is not in the side for their defence, and teams are happy to accommodate a half who doesn't defend well, provided they attack well), and a forward (where defence is literally 50% of what they're paid to do).

I do agree that Arthur would get the best out of him - however, why bother?

Not only does he have no idea how to defend, but he has a terrible footy brain.

He's all flash, no substance.

No, thank you.

Speaking of titans ... if they get rid of Hayne than they’ve developed quite a hit list ... my info on s that BJ Leilua, Ricky Leutele and Leilani Latu could go there

That's interesting - Leilua, and Leutele.

I wonder if Hurrell is on the outer...
