Rumours and Stuff

[Tiger5150]

It's a bit of a worrying sign for Wests that more players are being given early Get Out Of Jail cards...

Tigers have won back to back spoons. I dont see how keeping the same players doing the same things is going to change things.

Agree re: Tepai. Still only 27 and hits hard in defence.

He isn't what we need. Only got about 10nganes for the Storm and their pack is weak compared to ours. We also have juniors coming thru.
We do not need any forwards. Wrap up Grieg and Morretti.

Roy Fisher....... played a record 170 consecutive games for the club during his grade career, a figure not surpassed until the 1990s, by Jason Taylor.

Twal is OK for a benchie, but we need backs and decent ones, better to save up our pennies

Yeah, we’ve had our fair share of cheeseburgers, it’s time for some buffalo wings.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Does this mean Penisini isn’t a Parra junior because he lives in Quakers hill?

I guess. Does it really matter whether they are local? The Roosters and Storm don’t give a shit. Even Penrith’s best ‘home grown’ players are from the country.

 

[Twizzle]

well the Sorm finally have a decent home grown player, only took them 25 years

I would say those players (eg Dylan Edwards, JFH and Isaiah Yeo) are still Penrith juniors just like Penisini and Dylan Brown are Parra juniors.

Moses, Paulo, Matterson?

Moses, Paulo, Matterson?

I would consider anyone who came through the lower grades a junior of that club. If they played for multiple clubs then they would be a junior of those clubs as well (eg I would consider Moses both a Parramatta and Wests junior). If it was defined by geographical area/local competition then Suaali’i would be a Penrith junior and I think that’s just silly.

Kaoe Weekes to Raiders

He is better than his peers and was formally recognised for it. Yet he may leave. It’s outrageous.

So Avenger is trying to suggest Lenaz is a better hooker than Matt Arthur??
Lenaz is a tough player I really like the way he plays 13 but he is not in the same league as Arthur as a dummy half.
Arthur’s passing and craft is elite for a junior.

Yeah I always thought that he was a lock who can play a bit of 9.

Maybe his size is making him think about a position switch ?



Welcome BTW.

both different styles...

it's like comparing Brandan Smith to Harry Grant.

you're right about Lenez and MA's skills are pretty silky but he's an absolute weed atm.

Moses i see as a Tigers juniors. We didn't see him as a priority and he played sg ball for them. Id also count Mahoney as an eels junior for the same reason.
It doesn't matter if got them from NZ or the bush. If you bought them into yours system cause you saw potential they are your junior.

He’s absolutely tiny. I said the same when I saw him in reggies and said that I had not seen a jockey like him since the Marrickville Merkin.

Having said that, you can’t ignore 4 try assists in a game the other week, his vision, bullet service etc. Will he be durable and tough enough for NRL ? Hmmm

Both probably won't make NRL. I hope they do butnodds are against them.

Anyone going to the Jersey Flegg game tomorrow at Leichhardt?
