Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

I just feel French is too scared of the collisions in the game to be a successful fullback. Maybe he can be coached out of it, but he hardly contests in the air when he has someone steaming down on him, which is pretty vital fullback play

I agree. But if we hire Slater as our fullbacks coach he could teach him a few tricks.

Ha! I suppose it looks better on the replays to be shoulder charged over the sideline instead of being rag-dolled.

True. Although I was thinking more of this kind of thing.

Great take. How many weeks did that Bulldogs player get for attacking Slater's boot with his face?

 

[El Diablo]

i wonder if this is Arthur

SHOOSH III

WHICH struggling NRL coach has been given until round 10 next season to get his team into finals contention or face the chop.

Let's run with this. Care to share your full 2019 team ( taking into account what we have available to us atm)?

Not sure if this will work but wouldn’t mind seeing the following in a trial:

1. French
2. Hayne
3. Gutho
4. Jennings
5. Ferguson

French/Hayne can swap at times.

 

[Happy MEel]

I’d go:

1. Hayne
2. Gennings
3. Gutho
4. Mennings
5. Fergo

It was a post based on sarcasm and ignorance. Neither of which I do particularly well.

Apologies sometimes the overuse of sarcasm makes it hard to detect on here, myself included

Imo:

1. French

4. Gutherson
5. Jennings
6. Hayne
7. Norman
8. Alvaro
9. Pritchard
10. Paulo

12. Ma'u
13. Brown

14. Mahoney
15. Terepo
16. Mannah
17. Lane

 

[Poupou Escobar]

1. Norman
2. Ferguson
3. Mennings
4. Gutherson
5. Hayne
6. Salmon
7. Moses
8. Alvaro
9. Mahoney
10. Paulo
11. Ma'u
12. Moeroa
13. Brown
14. Pritchard
15. Takairangi
16. Mannah
17. Evans

The problem I see is that Moses and Norman don't work together, and neither can really be shifted to another position. Norman isn't a good fullback, despite some flashes of ability there. But it's a long time until the season starts so I'm hopeful we can offload at least one of them.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Norman and Moses worked together just fine in 2017. The problem is our structure didn't suit the refereeing of 2018.

I think we were getting away with murder in the play the balls last year. So we went on a bit of a run and had more than our fair share of wins, but a lot of them were coin toss results. The halves weren't great. And the refereeing in 2019 will probably resemble 2018 more than 2017, so it's no wonder we're looking to offload a half, along with the other changes.

 

[T.S Quint]

Can we find a way to f**k off Takairangi?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

1. Norman
2. Ferguson
3. Mennings
4. Gutherson
5. Hayne
6. Salmon
7. Moses
8. Alvaro
9. Mahoney
10. Paulo
11. Ma'u
12. Moeroa
13. Brown
14. Pritchard
15. Takairangi
16. Mannah
17. Evans

I reckon Lane will be there, maybe instead of Taka

break both his legs

 

[hindy111]

Gus is a joke, no way we need a egotistical wanker like him. O’Neill will be a good appointment who will compliment the coach and ceo moving forward IMO

I disagree. Gus turned the Panthers around. They where never a finals side. Always hanging in the bottom half.
Its hard to win the comp but being in the finals 4/5yrs is decent along with under 20s always there and NSW cup. On a whole id be happy if our club was able to do the same.

Where is Terepo and Lane? Both above Evans and Taka .

 

[Parra Cheeses]

Im thinking our lack of a number 9 is the elephant in the room that is holding us back.

And also happy grand final day. I hope Billy breaks his leg in the first 5 minutes. Or Cameron, I'm not fussy.
