Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

You said which backs of any quality have we produced. We signed Semi as a 19 year old who had never played rugby league. I think we can take plenty of credit for turning him into the best winger in the game.

Fair call. I also count Manu Mau in the forwards.

And for a team that already has two expensive outside backs and a glaring deficiency in the middle of our defence I don't see how we could get value out of Radradra.

We'd find a way.

 

[TheRam]

Probably twice the player, though.

When was the last time Will Smith played for NSW?

When was the last time Reynolds did?

 

[TheRam]

He's like an uglier Greg Inglis without the personality.

Inglis personality? Oh pleeese..

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

We produce plenty of good players. They end up at other clubs.

That used to be very true. There's actually not a huge number these days. We aren't producing too many stars full stop.

 

[Gronk]

Semi wasnt a junior

Semi played NYC for Eels. We poached him from Fiji U20's in 2011.

Why can't we get credit for identifying and developing Semi ?

When was the last time Reynolds did?

Can't remember, mate - but at least he played Origin.

I'm not a massive fan of his, but I do like his energy, and his grubbiness.

I was just pointing out that he has achieved far more in his career than Will Smith has.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Inglis personality? Oh pleeese..

That's the joke.

I don't know if this is correct (it may not be up to date) but according to Wikipedia in rugby union Semi has only scored 8 tries in 44 games.

That may all be true, but the guy is way past his best and we need forwards that can dominate the f**kin ruck, or a beast like Radrada, not mozzies that breakdown making a tackle or pull hammies catching a ball.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I'm starting to think that a. the Radradra story is not true, and b. we've got a good one in Sivo anyway. I reckon he's better than Semi was in his first year in 1st grade.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Now that weve signed Waqa, I reckon add Welsh, Prior, another good second rower plus Justin Holbrook and a couple of decent assistant coaches who can coach defence and we are looking great.

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Give up on Justin Holbrook ffs. BA didn't get sacked after a wooden spoon year, he's not going to get sacked now.

 

[Noise]

Holbrook will be at the Titans next year

In BA we trust.

Nobody scores tries in Yawnion.

Yea I know, but everyone has been raving about how he has been absolutely killing it in union. I know tries aren;t the only thing that counts but for a superstar winger you would think he'd be finding the tryline more consistently than every 5 or 6 games. Seems like he is plodding along with the rest of the plodders in that shit code

Well, like it or not, he's who we have. IMO this year he is showing that he can learn from his mistakes.

I wonder how many tackles he has to make?

Who cares who Gazza wants for coach.... did he say Matt f**ken Prior?!?!
