Rumours and Stuff

[King-Gutho94]

Only Gus could make Novak's head look small

[Soren Lorenson]

I think Hopgood is going to be a balltearer, but I have never seen so much attention for what is essentially a signing from reserve grade.

 

[TheCrowe]

Murchie has gone under the Radar but he is a big body that runs good lines and has surprising pace and skills. Training mostly at middle for a bench spot.

My mate the Cows fan who has been involved in junior reps in QLD reckons Hopgood is a real goodun, he was wrapped that he was apparently heading up to the Cows and equally disappointed when they missed out on him. He’s always had big wraps on him coming through the juniors in QLD.


He said he’s going to kill it in your pack and you should be already looking to extend him and not repeat the Ice bungle. The reports from TCT is he’s been killing it and adds an extra dimension

I would take what tct says with a grain of salt.

The nrl team is verse the nsw cup team. If they cant attack well againat a nsw cup team, then they are crap.

Any amazing attacking raids against a nsw cup defense should be watered down.

The more impressive thing is when a nsw cup players does something great against the nrl team

Well I’m just going by what my mates says, and from what I’ve seen from Hopgood he looks like a ready made first grader with a big motor and ball skills. I’d normally agree with what you’ve said about TCT but they are only backing up what I already believe. He’s going to be our buy of the year.

 

[the phantom menace]

Well he's going straight into a vacancy in our first 13, so he'd better be killing it and up to the task! I'm hopeful and looking forward to seeing what he brings this season.

 

[Black Panther]

I don't know about that, he certainly thinks he knows what he's doing. Penrith didn't thrive until he left because he interfered with what the coach was doing and releasing players and bringing others in against the coach's wishes. And how can a coach coach with someone looking over their shoulder all the time and critising their methods. And did he really set up their junior systems or did other people while he was there and just oversee the changes?

Matt Cameron was the brain child behind the Junior Pathways/ Centre of excellence, Gus was just the man who could make things happen

I too think hopgood will be very good for us but then he couldn't really crack onto the Panthers bench and i believe they did rest their lock during games

 

[hindy111]

From what I have read from the Penrith forum is he is a good kid but can force the ball and be a bit error prone. Fix that and he will walk into the side.

So a bit of bryce and feleti in him?

I think once he signed elsewhere he was going to struggle to get a look in.

A lot of people seem to rate Perham, except us.

He is a bit small and poor under high ball. Seems eratic to me.

He went on the shit list very early. That’s why he wasn’t re-signed.

Cameron was highly thought of at Parra building pathways,but he wanted to be heavily involved in junior recruitment and to be honest that wasn’t a strength . That disagreement led to his leaving and joining panthers, Gus came in and seemed to change his job description to pathways and COE, which worked out really well .

 

[strider]

There is one less team name than the number of players there ... i believe Liddle is going to the Dragons???

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Was having beers with Billy Moore yesterday. Top fella. Anyway, he was saying he believes Hodgson is the most important signing in the NRL. If he fires like he did a few years ago at Canberra, he thinks we win the comp.

Eagle eye! Good pickup.
