Rumours and Stuff

[rugby league fan]

Sorry Lingard but Mannah and Alvaro starting is just guaranteeing BA loses his job. No variety in their attack and almost no offloads. My pack would be:
8. Paulo
9. KP (would be Mahoney but still in development squad atm)
10. Alvaro
11. Lane
12. Niukore
13. Brown
14. Kaufusi
15. Terepo
16. Moeroa
17. Ma'u

Hey Glenn who is your back 5.?
I know there is a bit of conjecture whether its French or Gutho at full back.
But i'm hearing Salmon has/ been killing it this pre season in opposed sessions at Center.
If this is correct then you would have to say Salmon might get a start there meaning Gutho to fullback..!
Your thoughts.?

I prefer that option to having French at the back.

 

[El Diablo]

Agree but by round 10 he will be looking over his shoulder.

that won't be helpful when he's hitting the ball up

Here is what I was hearing back in early/mid December.

My latest mail is:
1. Gutho
2. French
3. Mennings
4. Salmon or Parry
5. Ferguson
6. Moses
7. Brown

I know it is only early days in pre-season but this is what I am hearing may be the preferred back 7.

On form Terepo was best Prop in 2018
Also that he is now in peak years and mannah is in decline years if I was a betting man and planning for future I'd lean towards Terepo if had to chose.
If Mannah gets injured and his replacements form is too good I doubt he walks into the side.

Terepo is perhaps our best defensive middle prop.
Niaukore is a great defender and Kafusu seems to be.
Jnr will never be and I have no idea on Stefano.
Some people seem to think your either a good defensive workman like forward or a impact type. There is however elite props or more balanced props who are great defenders and also provide more attack then you average pluggers.
Alvaros game improved due to developing a pass before line and an offload.Makes him less predicatable.

I think you couldn’t observe Alvaro due to his blinding whiteness. Penis played well, always brought good energy but he’s still a pretty dumb player and Alvaro was our best player. Not best forward, best player. And he’s our best defensive middle forward by a long long way

I’m excited about this. There will be pressure on French to prove that he belongs in the team, with pressure from below him.

I’d go with that back line besides French on the wing. He’s not a winger. I’d put Gennings there.

Yep that’s my backline.

Here you are again my friend. Gee you talk some S@#T

You posted last night from a very reliable source -
"They are also very concerned about his body and they believe it may not hold up and being only 18 is a huge worry,"
Your comment doesn't make sense and contradicts what you say. If Parra are concerned about his body holding up then why would they be risking him.? Why would he be doing a full NRL pre season at 18 years of age.? Why wouldn't the club let him train in the 20s and ease him back into things.?
Yeah the club thinks, We are worried about his body physically and not holding up. But lets just throw him to the wolves and train with our NRL squad. (Yeah Doesn't make sense)
From what i know and been told there is nothing wrong with his body. Only the shoulder reco mate. If they are worried which i highly doubt as he shows no weakness at training either physically or mentally. No doubt he needs to put on a few KG up top but that's about it. He seems to be ahead of Mahoney at training, So your talking S#@T again.
Its great we have 2 prospective number 9s coming through but lets be realistic and honest hey.

Who is better all round. Lets put into perspective.
Remembering Mahoney is 2 years older.!

Goal kicking - Schneider
Kicking in general play - Schneider
Communication - Schneider
Composure - Schneider
Game management - Schneider
Size - Schneider
Passing / Service - Schneider
Endurance - Schneider
Defence / Both
Speed - Mahoney
Enthusiasm - Mahoney
Repersenative honors to date - Schneider

Reed is a good kid and a good player. Iv never knocked him only had differing opinions. But you seem to take things personal.
Parra are the winners here, So need to to bag someone or talk S#@t to feel important.

If you dont believe a word i say go chat with Kidwell / Potter / Joey and get there opinions.
Or better go ask your sources again and maybe they can clarify for you.

This site is a great site for us all to keep each other informed or to offer our own personal opinions, There is no need to be offended if someone likes or dislikes or has a differing opinion to yours, This is a public forum and people are free to write what they like. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one. Its great we are having this chat and i thank you for your well informed contribution..



Didn't you know i was both his mum and dad

It’s funny you need to drop all these names to justify yourself Mr Schneider. You must be one of those dads that has there nose in everyone’s bumholes so your son gets pity picked.

But yeah like you said, everyone’s got opinions and I know what I’ve been told, he will never play NRL. So you believe what you want mate.

Next time drop some more name of the coaching staff that every supporting should know to big note yourself.

Didn’t you big note yourself by saying your source is better?

 

[strider]

Yep that’s my backline.

I think you and noise are siamese twins - joined at the brain cells .... do you guys ever disagree about eels things?

Do you ever drop a "i think brad arthur is a great tactician" comment into the mix just to check if the other is paying attention?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So you're saying he knew/privy to our rorting? Interesting.

He either knew or didn't care. Either way it's not his job. He tells the club what he needs and they're supposed to go and get it.

Constantly...and when the merkin doesn’t answer he gets berated with Gifs. We actually disagree on a few things but on the whole we have have a pretty similar take on the eels.

I think Moses has potential to become quite a good half but I think he wants to rissole him.

Yep. Almost a tackle per minute is phenomenal defence. And before anyone throws out 'just a worker', there's no such thing. The key to defence these days is controlling the middle, which means getting numbers into the tackle. That only occurs due to merkins working hard and making the extra effort.

But yeah like you said, everyone’s got opinions and I know what I’ve been told, he will never play NRL.

Then why is he training with the full time squad before he even turns 19? Why did Fittler pick him in his emerging Blues squad while still eligible for SG Ball?

Of course there's a chance he'll never play NRL, but it's stupid to pretend anyone has decided it. So far he is hitting all his milestones early, just like most NRL players did. Most of our Flegg squad (like any squad of under 20s players) will have already been stamped never-to-play-NRL, but there's no chance Schneider is in that boat.

If only you knew..! I can keep doing this all day.
Keep fishing my friend

Never play NRL? Big call mate. If he does are you going to leave the forums or just look like an idiot ?

Why can’t we have both?

 

[Gary Gutful]

I like the idea that players get pity picked. This isn't backyard footy FFS!

Fair enough. Have you dropped Mannah altogether? I wouldn't. I don't really see a leader in that pack. Not sure I see a stand out leader in the backs either. Maybe Gutherson.
