Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

He's an outside back FFS

So was Ben Smith.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I know we need probably another back, a half and maybe a hooker but does anything think we need another experienced leader?

Not sure who is out, and we may not need one, and I am not even sure in what position, but I reckon someone with a bit of experience that has "done everything" would be good for our squad.

We've just lost a couple of experienced premiership winners, so you could be right. The only guys left with extensive big game experience are Jennings and Scott. Even De Gois has only played seven finals matches.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So was Ben Smith.

Exactly. One of the quickest wide running back rowers in the game. Here's him chasing down Benji Marshall in 2011 - the year Benji (26 years old and at his peak) won the Dally M and RLIF awards at five-eighth.

 

[Bazal]

I think people forget how quick Ben Smith actually was pre-injuries....for a big bloke, he could motor. You wouldn't have him up there with the speedsters but by the same token if you let him get going good luck catching him....

 

[Bazal]

Also I really hope the rumours about Tyrone Roberts are true....we could do a whole hell of a lot worse, he's been good all year and he's stood up so far tonight

 

[The Colonel]

Hey Colonel

Should we try and recruit Sam Williams? I reckon we should. He is experienced and an ideal 7 if Gutherson doesn't work out at 6.

Yes.

That's actually a very good effort and I'd forgotten how much toe he once had. I was more referring to post multiple knee ops Ben Smith. Have you got any chases like that from Idris?

He's better than Sam Williams anyway.

 

[Bazal]

Most halves are better than Sam Williams

 

[Gary Gutful]

Barry, you needed to explicitly say ali was the one in many millions

Actually I think hindy111 goes fairly well with his talent identification .... but the problem is that the penrith obsession (and soup n stuff) mean people dont take him as seriously

Hindy111, you could be right about idris - i dont think he is that good and 2 years out wont help him but who knows ... but i still think no thanks

Spot on and ridiculously tactful as always.

I'd be happy with Roberts. I think he will be kept by the Titans to be honest, possibly even as a utility. I will be interested to see how Elgey returns - Roberts will be kept for next season for that reason alone.

He's better than Sam Williams anyway.

Yes. He is better than Cornish and Kelly though in comparison.

 

[Gary Gutful]

looks like my wife in the chest area bahahahaha

You poor bastard.

 

[strider]

You poor bastard.

ROFL

Is he any better or worse then townsend? I reckon he is very similar and Townsend's partner is not as good as Norman.

But anyhow I reckon Gutherson has higher potential then both.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

His highlights all seem to be big hits. Shortens up plenty of forwards, though there's a few shoulder charges too:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You poor bastard.

My wife has heaps bigger tits than Idris, though her face is similar.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes. He is better than Cornish and Kelly though in comparison.

Sure but would Williams come here to be a backup? He has that offer already from the Raiders.

 

[hindy111]

tamolloolo is a weapon.
is bryce worth 2.5 for 5 yrs? No back hand deals? Who signs 5 yr deals.....Gould has some shit going on id say just like other clubs.
wats f**kd is we need to compete now with teams who are prob spending 1 million nore

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Gould went as far as anyone in his position can go to admitting that most teams are cheating. Including them.

Doesn't matter though. We're a powerhouse now.

Is Tanginoa signed for next year?

Is he the poor man's Tomololol
