Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

Agreed. I don’t think either of them should be our halves.

And I've mentioned this ad nauseum in the past - mid season trades (and obligatory 2-3 year deals on top of the mid season switch) should be very carefully considered. Sure, a player on the outs at their current club might find a new lease of life for 12 weeks with a change of scenery but fast forward 12 months, they might be playing reggies and taking up a significant portion of your cap. Quick fix v bigger picture... Gotta be weighed up

Yep, we are better off with Norman IMO

Austin's long kicking game is good.

So is Hayne's...

 

[hineyrulz]

Norman is a better player than Austin (a better playmaker anyway) but Austin wouldn't be pissed off thinking he's on unders or that he should be running the team. Was also a Parra fan as a kid, plus he's the right colour for TheRam.

Everyone’s a winner baby.

Just not when he kicks off.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol Dawwwwwwwius.

Hayne doesn't have the work rate for the spine, and his running game is wasted there.

Austin looked good when Hodgson was killing it. The Raiders attack all came from their creative dummy half. That suits Austin who is not a creative player. Our 9's don't have a creative bone in their body whch would not suit Austin's style of play.

So like Moses

So like Moses

Moses wasn't a mid season trade. He signed for 2018 and we happened to be able to get him earlier.

Off-contract Sezer will line up against Parramatta star Corey Norman, and it is believed the Raiders made inquiries about signing the rival five-eighth but the Eels are not prepared to release him.

Except looser baby.

We are into the long shift these days though, which would let Austin stay out wide and run at isolated defenders. A playmaking fullback helps too.

Yet, he was once our spine.

Like Hayne?

I hope not.

And we were shit. We were better once Norman came in. Even Sandow had his moments in attack and with the boot.

I thought about him about 5 seconds after I posted that! Lol

FFS

Did he come here mid season or not?

You're on Pou-level pedantic-ness with that one one Baz...
