Rumours and Stuff

For sure he’d be in the leadership group. Or was...

There was about eight of them. How good a leader do you think you need to be to join that illustrious group?

At least as good as Kenny and Corey.

Williams or Niukore?

I like T-Rex but his knees might be done

 

[Gary Gutful]

Did we recruit any other middle forwards for 2018?

If the only thing on tap is a XXXX then it is going to be a prized beer to a thirsty man...

Sorry, you meant 'prized', not prized.

 

[Gary Gutful]

A combo is the preference, but we all know tpa’s are out of our control. Unless your name is politis or Gus that is.

Yep, it is definitely unfair how it is unattainable if you are a dopey deadshit that tapes yourself cheating and then have your enemies dob you in to the NRL and force them to take action.

So unfair!

He’s far too big for his knees.

They are also too big.

You realise that analogy doesn’t really work in your favour?

You look into the mirror at night and argue with it?

Of course not. I'm never wrong!

They are also too big.

I have read that that is only an issue for fullbacks

 

[Gary Gutful]

Good point Noise.

So you're advocating to continue to play our $350k plus prized middle forward 2018 recruit in Reserve Grade?

Nah, I posted the above list in response to Ram and Noise looking for one more big powerful forward (middle or edge) and a hooker and just listed our probable 2019 signings (Lane, Paulo and Musgrove) and possibly Segeyaro with our current top lot of forwards (based on who BA has been picking).

Personally I am hopeful that Evans comes good as I still think he was the right signing for us - unfortunately his fitness and form haven't proven that yet. If he can push his way back into the top 17 at the expense of Alvaro, Mannah, Junior or Musgrove, then good on him, but for mine (and probably BA's at the moment) it is up to Evans.

how do they know the possum doesn't have a jar fetish?

His poor knees never had a chance

The Segeyaro signing though is crucial in that hypothetical. If that doesn’t happen then we are still a long way off...even with the signings off Paulo, Lane and Musgrave. It would take a Taupau like signing to offset not signing a hooker such as Seggy for mine.

It's not just chipmunks and possums. People get trapped in cabinets all the time.

How much influence would Segeyaro have? I assume that Mahoney would be the starting dummy half, and we've seen he's already capable of playing most of a game this year. With another pre-season and the rest of this season, if we sign Segeyaro or any other dummy half we may only plan to play them for 20-30 minutes a game.
