Rumours and Stuff

[Glenneel]

Roosters already have Cordner, are getting Chrighton and now want TPJ? Talk about a salary Sombrero.

Apparently Roosters can do it but not us. Yes lets not buy a gun but stick with all our great forwards, best way to win a premiership according to Josh.

 

[Glenneel]

MJC why has the club announced Jnr and Fergo but not Lane and Musgrave ?

It's even on NRL.com FFS.

When was Musgrave signed? Thought he was on someone's wish list? Is he injured this year or playing so poorly he can't make Souths team?

 

[Glenneel]

Getting nuthuggers excited is easy, it’s the deathriders we need excited

Well first we need some strategy to score tries. We'll still lose looking at last nites attack, they had nfi in opposition's 20.

Well even last night against a top 4 side in the first half (before their injuries) our forwards did a pretty decent job, and we still have Manu, Alvaro, Mannah, Evans, Paulo, Lane and maybe some others to be added to that pack for next year .......along with Kafusi, Stone, Mahoney and Marata getting better with experience....

21 games for firsts in 2017. No games in firsts this year. Only 2 games in ISP.

Had a good World Cup.

Marata was lethal on that right edge last night. Same with Tep on the left.

And the pommy winger and rumours sbw keen to return

 

[hindy111]

I'd love Napa.

Average ball-runner, but a bruiser in defence.

I dont think he would cost heaps either.
450-500k?

Lethal? Wow you use that word lightly.
He was solid. Hardly lethal

You’re right. He didn’t actually kill anyone. Sorry.

 

[hindy111]

Kikau is lethal
That storm prop is lethal
Tamoulolo is lethal.

Nikauore is at present ok. Hardly lethal. Yet to see him bust the line or produce a good offload.

He is never going to be a Kikau or Tomololololololololo. He could be as good as Boyd Cordner as he has a high work rate and can do long minutes. So you think that he is nothing better than ok ? I must have my blue and gold glasses on.

I think you do have blue and gold glasses on.

He's going Ok, but I'd say Moeroa was going better after the same number of games in the NRL.

He's got a fair way to go for mine, but I doubt he's costing a lot at this point.

Despite strong mail we had signed Musgrave, am thinking it may have been premature. Wasnt able to get confirmation last night despite trying.

Did hear that at least 1 forward from last night who is off contract is going around again next year.

Oh and Musgrave has failed to make Sths top grade this year because of 3 reasons... injury, G Burgess and T Burgess. Neither has been injured and both have been in good form.

If we're going to have Moses or Norman in the team, then we need what I can only describe as a calming/settling/organising influence as their halves partner.

Salmon may be that half one day, but he is only 19 and outside of Cleary and Pearce, very few young halves (under say 22 years of age) have been able to perform consistently in the NRL in the last 15 years. I'm sure it's no coincidence that both of those players fathers were also NRL players and coaches who would have provided excellent daily advice to both players.

Salmon is probably 3 years away from being the player we want him to be. I think we would expect too much from Dylan Brown to be great at a young age also.

Good current 'calming/settling/organising' halves partners in the NRL I would describe as Cronk, Chad Townsend, Blake Green, Adam Reynolds, Nathan Cleary, Mitchell Pearce, Ben Hunt, and at his best, Keiran Foran. However, most of these took a number of years of NRL experience to be able to be consistent. I'd put Moses and Norman in the creative off the cuff style of Moylan, Maloney, Shaun Johnson, Luke Keary, DCE, Munster, Milford, Austin, Benji. These halves might win you plenty of games, but without the calming/settling/organising influence are they going to win you a comp?

I said we need to get deathriders excited, hard but possible, I don’t think Bernie with 1/2 a kg of coke and a room full of hookers would get you excited.

Marata ?

 

[Stagger eel]

Marata ?

I don’t think he means him but I’m pretty sure he’ll be there next year

I heard from a pretty good source that we decided to look at other possibilities, not sure if it was his injury or other issues.
