Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

just saw fergo in a knee brace in the telegraph at training has he broken down ??

Probably just a fashion thing.

 

[Twizzle]

If its the Telecrap its probabaly a year old

Probably jarred it doing a back flip...

 

[parra pete]

I really like that predicted round 1 team but I would leave Niukoma off the bench and bring in Salmon.

They might pick up some Salmon in Bega....

 

[Glenneel]

I agree that he doesn't seem to possess much other then a straight hard running game, but after watching the 9's a trial, he carried the ball very strongly, and seemed more powerful then the others. So coming into his manly man years now, he may have that seasoned extra strength that players need and get as they mature into first grade.

But you are right, he could prove to be not much more then he already is once all the big boys are back and in front of him. The odds are in your prediction favour Hindy, I just hope he does show more of what I saw in those games thus far or if we don't we should start to elevate others over him to see what they can do.

But either way, this is the year I will judge him either way.

Needs to develop an offload and play a bit smarter, not be a battering ram all the time.

 

[Glenneel]

We identify many things in our science group/book club B n B, but somehow Niukore slipped our lips.

Must have been about the only thing then.

The fox game now is Eels v Dogs from 2011.
I absolutely LOVE that yellow (or is it gold) Eels jersey and except that I wouldn't have any advertisement on the front and I would make the badge bigger, I would make it our permanent jersey.

 

[T-Boon]

Actually I even like the PIRTEK design on it but I would have it say EELS and allow the major sponsor to have the back whilst also charging them full freight.

Good luck with that.

On his current performances, shouldn't cost much, so yeah.

He is a Tepai with bigger balls and costs most likely 1/3rd of the amount.
You where right about Tepau so I should not doubt you ever. Sorry Ram.

 

[hindy111]

I think Tepai and French are why we're seeing our younger guys spend more time in reserve grade. Tep had 1, maybe 2, games in between playing 20s and first grade; French had maybe a handful I can't quite remember.

No....
They just didn't have it.
Brown and Mahoney and even Kafusi also tasted first grade recently at younge ages.
We thought they where good enough. And well they where. They most likely just wanted to much money. Bother where good enough for NRL imo.

 

[hindy111]

interestingly Marata is only 9 months younger then Moeroa......

Kikau is prob the same...So what.
Tepai never become better. Just stayed the same. A player should adjust and improve once gets up to speed of game

Brown and Kaufusi played more reserve grade than French or Moeroa before playing first grade, Kaufusi has also played a bit of reserve grade even after making his first grade debut.

It’s not a catch-all. Some players can handle/adapt to the transition from junior to 1st grader. Others (likely the overwhelming majority) need to learn against experienced players

Well our NRL side is far more competetive and harder to get into.
I dont buy into the whole played to early and ruined his career crap. Unless was injury.
Sure in NFL I can see why a QB in draft going to a poor team may struggle. Nrl is different.

Canary yellow? That's Australia gold my friend, and don't you f**king forget it!

Not long to go until we get a teams list to froth over and of course game day on the 12...

I’m SO pumped!!!

Where is the team list? Is MON still asleep at the wheel?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Surely the first team list Tuesday is still a week away
