Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Tom Humble could've had a good career. I would have given him more time at 6.

He played for 3 clubs in the end. He had a fair chance. In the end he had a 27 game FG career.

I remember when he came to Parramatta, Mortimer was playing like an under 7's half, and I kept calling for Daniel Anderson to replace him with Humble. Humble's first game in the NRL was a pearler against Manly (Mortimer injured, I think), but he was dropped soon after. I think Anderson persevered with Mortimer way too long. Humble had to be content with the odd game on the wing, centre, fullback. I agree - I think he really was a specialist five-eight. (And, yes, I think there is such a thing.)

Penrith started him at 6 for a Rounds 3 through to 8 in 2013. He bombed and was never seen again.

BTW it may also be the case that 2011 was to be his year after getting a taste of FG in 2010.

He missed all of 2011 after failing a drug test.

Surely his name was a bit of a give-away?

Tom Arrogant is the one to watch.

And Fogarty......Another BA master stroke.

Every club needs backups. Go and have a look at the Roosters’ 30 man squad. Plenty of blokes you’ve never heard of.

He plays golf with Mick. Mick flogged him.

Sounds like Mick flogs you regularly the way you talk about him

 

[Avenger]

Had a read on the other site that Alvaro is now 115kg, Mannah 111kg and Paulo 127kg.

He says we don’t have size ?

Kafusi also 115kgs. He was only about 105kgs when debut apparently. And big Stefano is 115kgs +
Lane and Evans are also close to that mark. Tepai is over 110kgs.

FFS we are too big

 

[Avenger]

Michael Potter identified our lack of size early and insisted on them adding size.

My exclusive about 3 months ago.

Anyway Alvaro who is my favourite forward at the club has put on 6kg of muscle.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Did Potter make the decision to shell out big money for Fatty Paulo?

He made him lose weight. From 132 to 127kg.

Potter will take over from BA.

Gut feel.

And Blake Ferguson and Lane? And who identified Stefano and Kafusi size

 

[Happy MEel]

FFS we are too big

...for our knees?

Every man and his dog identified our lack of size last preseason. I reckon the only reason Arthur defended it was because we couldn't get anyone else.

Identifying it and rectifying it are two different things.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Really Potter is responsible for adding size to our pack??

Pretty sure BA recruited Paulo and Lane.

Kaufusi/Stef wouId be adding size due to growing into their bodies, they are still teenagers FFS!!

While I suspect Mannah/Alvaro probably had a bit more time to spend in the gym considering they missed most of the last off-season due to the World Cup.

Moeroa has always been fairly big!!
