Rumours and Stuff

Did you also correct your dumb logic about an Origin series win proving anything at all about a given player? Reynolds and Hodkinson were the halves in that series win as well, and they both have much better win rates in Origin than Hayne.


Changing your argument again. We are talking about Hayne not being up to fullback duties according to you. Which is plainly ridiculous as there is so much evidence to the contrary.

Oh btw, we will not win a premiership with this team, until we have Viliame Kikau or a Kikau type of player in our lineup. It needs to happen real quick. Like now, this season or by next season. This is our premiership window. If we don't do it now, who knows what our roster will look like in 3 years time.

Kikau was the real difference. He tore us a new one. I would trade virtually any 3 forwards bar Mannah, Alvaro, Edwards and Brown for Nikau. I would pay up to $800k for him.
Let's see how Kikau goes when his team doesn't have all the ball. Don't forget he wasn't even good enough for their top 17 last year, at 22 years of age. He is only good for running at halfbacks.

Anyone with speed is up to fullback duties at least some of the time. The question is whether they offer enough at fullback for their team to be consistently successful. If you look at the best teams their fullbacks are hard working. The only exception in recent times is Greg Inglis at Souths.

I think most of us could run over Moses at least once tbh. I wouldn't be getting a bar up over a bloke who weighs 115kg running over a couple of backs.

And anyway if that's what wins premierships we've signed the best in the game at doing that (now that Dave Taylor isn't around). T Rex is boss at bludging on an edge and steam rolling blokes who weigh 50kg less than him

Haha...You're kidding yourself. The guys is a gun and will be one of the gun forwards of the comp from here on in. Unlike our lump Moeroa who had the opportunity to set up a try on the weekend and stuffed it up royally.

He weighs 120kg and he will be better then either of those two lumps and he also ran over Hayne when scoring.

Pretty sure Nikau only has one leg. He would be pretty cheap.

Both clubs were the Magpies before they entered the same competition.
Very hard for supporters to support a change of name for their beloved Club.

Imagine if Gus wanted to change the Panthers to something else... would you be happy?
The Penrith Goulds. I like it

I am actually getting excited reading this and imagining T-Rex holding the trophy aloft in eels colours.

So someone like T-Rex ?
