Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Timmy needs to go definitely. He is no longer a starting prop. 1 more year should see him out imo.

He doesn't need to be a 'starting prop', he just needs to be in the top 17.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

He doesn't need to be a 'starting prop', he just needs to be in the top 17.

Or even just top 30, at the right price. People focus on Mannah as a symbol of our failure. If we didn't have better leaders that's not his fault. It doesn't mean he can't play a part in future. And I think he's the sort of person who could do that. Ego won't be a problem.

Mannah had his best year in a long time, and deserved a top 17 spot. And people think our middle forwards are fine.

No all our props need to be starting props, even our bench props and backups should be starting props

8 Alvaro
10 Jnr
11Manu
12Lane
13Brown

Is see the above as lock ins

14 Terepo
15 Tepai
The above as lock ins
Last 2 spots to figth out between

Evans,Mannah,Kafusi,Stone,Niakuore

And i expect 2 more signings and atleast one a top 17 certainty.

And our starting props should be able to be bench props.

Does anyone see Mannah as above of the guys I listed?
I also expect 2 more signing and one is a certain top 17. The other will be a bungry type needing a chance.

Are people riding Evans off? I think he will be hammered at training. He will have 4-5kgs put on his frame and be closer to 120kgs. At 27 it will be now or never for Kane after a disaster of 2018.

Kafusi is only going to get better as is Niakuore.

Unsure if any other young guys will be considered. I dont see Stone as big enough but he is tough and a big motor.

 

[hindy111]

Looking st my team list the last 2 spots need to be filled by guys with some explosiveness.

Terepo and Tepai are more your workers with some punch. A t rex style would be great.

Well tbh we might go ok if we started with 16 or 17 players

I hope not ... that might be a bit weird

Not for Hindy111, I suspect.

Well at least he will be fit for round 1.

 

[hindy111]

Nothing against Mannah but I see him as the one slipping out of the 17.
Modt toher forwards are in peak or on way up. Mannah was fine this year but 1yr is a long time for players in 30s. Look how sharp Beau Scott declined from 2017 to 2017.

 

[hindy111]

James Graheme also a perfect example. Still an Nrl player but gee this was the best prop in game. 2yrs later he is just your average nrl prop.

Yeah but he yells at people.

Just pointing out that pugs in middle have a shelf life that can get old very fast. Terepo and Alvaro where the best pigs by far and we have added Jnr. There is room for one more in the 17 and it may come down to where Tepai is going to play and how much Kafusi and Evans improves in the off season.

Someone with short arms?

Id probably prefer some mastiffs and dobermans in the middle ... pugs should be in the halves

I was told he got a bit physical with dufty after their loss to dogs and smashed his phone ..... i can see a harsh but fair style player being quite an asset to harden some merkins up
