Rumours and Stuff

I saw OBrien dropped Dom Young today .... if he doesnt want him the rest of the year we can swap Waqa ... but he aint a fullback gamebreaker

He'd be pretty handy for the remainder of the year, but you'd think if that was the case the Roosters would just offload someone first.

The only reason we are having this conversation is not because of Gutherson it’s because our game breaker has been asleep at the wheel and started the season poorly. I don’t even have to reveal his name, everyone knows who that is.

Hodgson too. He could be a game breaker... but isn't. I can see Hodgson being dropped to reggies for Hands from mid-year, if this new recruit is landed as a bench backline utility (covering halves and fullback).

Out of Welbsy, AJ, Campbell, and Kennedy, I'd look at. The rest aren't worth the time

 

[the phantom menace]

If that’s the case why aren’t we looking for a half?

Jai Field is considered a bit of both in England (full back and stand off/five eighth).

 

[Chipmunk]

Definitely he’s certainly class. Would he want to leave NZ though? that’s another thing to consider.

He'd cost $1m, we don't have that kind of salary cap space I'm sure.

 

[TheCrowe]

Dumbest idea Ive heard in a while. Buy a strike centre for way less money that may have the ability to backup at fullback. Sounds like BS to me.

But he is considered reserve grader in australia

He filled in okay in the halves for us a few years ago. Haven’t seen too much ESL recently but apparently Field & French have been killing it.

Well ok ... we can take Manu then .... but seriously they have no spare position to play Dom ... they can give us Tupou

 

[Avenger]

The only player in the UK I’d take is this guy. And he played with us and has established himself as a fullback.

Yeah, but being nominated for UK player of the year and being their fullback of the year would be enough for a journo to call him a "gamebreaker".

Surely the club must have someone in mind for this to be out there. Might it be Lomax?

Last time we had too many fullbacks, we got the spoon. Guthersons asset is his energy and work rate. Moving him to centre will limit his involvement. Only way it’ll work is for Gutho to move to 6. Are we willing to let Moses walk and move Guth to 6?

Mate, he’s the size of our entire pack!

Only as a gamebreaker bench prop, at JH's current size....

Might add some bite to our attack!!

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

I honestly don't understand what this club is thinking. There is some level of geniusation....































We have a guy like waqa Blake in the side and they think we need a fullback...

 

[the phantom menace]

Journos love Selwyn Cobbo - would they call him a gamebreaker?

I suspect there would be suitors for both Jaxson Paulo and Corey Allen. To be honest, I'd expect us to likely be one of them.
