Rumours and Stuff

[Incorrect]

That's very true. It's just not a good reason for the criticism of the player. That's a problem with the people thinking he'd be a superstar.

I think he was a victim of being continually bounced around from middle to edge and never really settling anywhere, and, his hands started letting him down too. The last couple of seasons he bombed a number of tries through poor handling. I actually started to wonder if his eyesight and hand/eye coordination was impacting his play, he was always in spectacles off the field. Dunno if he wore contacts when playing?

I actually think he copped a lot more shit than his form warranted.

Good defender. Attack was rubbish. Remember at one point he was on huge $$
He come into the NRL the same time as the vicous fish with the same wraps. 5yrs later one is in the top 3 props in games while the other couldn't get a contract.
He was one of the most dissapointing overjoyed juniors we've seen along with Kelepi Taningoa.

His problem was he had no nuts.....

Well, I can't find any articles that even speculated about his salary when he re-signed in 2017 (through to end of 2019)

FMD, that'd be right.... George Jennings and Tepai f**king Moeroa will have premiership rings come October and we'll still be here arguing about what we need to do to progress to week 3 of the Finals....

or that we should of kept them.

 

[Eelementary]

He was only 18 when he debuted for us.

Which explains why he was inconsistent, imo.

I always liked Tep.

I don't think he'd make our side now at full strength, but I liked the bloke.

And merkins will still fail to realise it's not the players in your team that stop you winning premierships, it's the players you don't have.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I really hope Tepai goes well. Nice fella.

Those players stop you from having the ones you need.....
Plenty of ways to build a good side. Just like there are different ways to win a war.

The point is all of them do, not just the scapegoats.

EAGLES, EELS EYE WOODS

Manly and Parramatta have made a play for prop Aaron Woods after he was told by incoming Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon he isn’t wanted for next season.

The Sea Eagles and Eels have both spoken to Woods this past week as they seek to bolster their respective forward packs for 2022. Fitzgibbon had a face-to-face meeting with Woods to let him know the Sharks were “moving in a different direction” next year.

Woods, who is in the final year of a three-year deal worth $600,000 annually, is understood to have offered to stay at Cronulla for just $180,000 next year, but Fitzgibbon was clear there was no space for him.

Woods, 30, can expect to earn more than $200,000 wherever he lands next; a big pay-cut from where he’s at but still enough to keep him in Australia and attempt to reignite his career under a new coach.

Did his decline coincide with his move to the middle? Regardless Bellyache will find his best spot.

Martina can do amazing things with her strap on, especially when she’s angry.

Woodsy hey. Well I suppose if we can turn Cartwright! around, then I should reserve my judgement on this.

 

[Gronk]

Woods is prolly a reflection on Hollis & H***** not being ready for the step up. Let's face it we only have Emu and reggies peroxide journeyman Macka as backups.

 

[hindy111]

I think it has more to do with upgrading from Stone and Hipgrave tbh. Neither seem to be genuine first graders. I feel for Stone as he can't put 10 games together without injury.
Hollis can't cement a spot in NSW cup yet. Hughes prob won't be back until next year and a year lost.

I do not see him in our best 17. Who gets dropped?

 

[84 Baby]

I think Sharon would go well for Wenty

The guy who gets injured or suspended

This is true. There is always someone out. Greig could come on leaps and bounds in one off season. So could Hollis. These guys remember missed last year due to rona.
