Rumours and Stuff

Who do you think we should sign as our hooker?

Bernie would be the best judge of hookers

ask him

BA likes players that can tackle. Segeyaro can't.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yeah, I don't think BA would rate Smegeyaro.

Cowboys have Coen Hess coming into team. From the little I saw of him he is a great, and probably better, player than Tamou just lacking the experience. However has a very experienced team around him.

Regarding experience has anybody done a correlation between experience (number of NRL games played by whole squad) and winning the grand final? Is there a cut off point where the odds of winning the GF is almost impossible because team is too inexperienced? If so than Parra are probably up against it has many reasonably young players.

Probably going back a bit, but St George's premiership squad in 1979 was so young/inexperienced they were nicknamed (Harry) "Bath's babes".

Yes and there may be more.

Actually here's a better question. How well do hookers poll in the dally ms?

There were 2 in the top 10 in 2016 and 2 in the top 10 in 2015. One of those was Ennis (=2nd) who Pou reckons is a plodder

 

[84 Baby]

There were 2 in the top 10 in 2016

And where were the rest?

And where were the rest?

In the top 10 there were 2 hookers, 1 lock, 2 halfbacks, 3 5/8s,1 prop & 1 fullback.

If you are going by last years dally m voting it seems hookers feature quite well

 

[strider]

It all depends, merkins.

You can have a superstar somewhere else in the spine and survive with a competent 9 or you can play with a dominant 9 and have your 6 and 7 play a slightly less important role in the team.

There is more than one way to make a savoury pudding.

Can you please list all known methods of making a savoury pudding

Holly crap.

Moses Suli has just become the highest-paid player yet to play NRL.

The teenager, considered one of the most promising youngsters in the game, signed a three-year extension, believed to be worth $1.3 million, on Friday to remain at Wests Tigers. The deal is all the more remarkable given he has made just two National Youth Competition appearances, neither of which he was able to finish due to back issues.

So thats where robbie farahs money went ... lol

Basing a players quality on Dally M votes?? Lol.

Well you seem to be basing them off how flashy they are. Dally m is best measure for that

The list is endless...

Do I??? Proof please??? Just because I think De Gois is a plodder and our other options are average doesn't mean that at all. Mc happy Meal summed it up really well where I thInk our spine is at. But no every post that doesn't gush over the club and everything it does it just whinging isn't it???

Perhaps you could start with your top 100

Going into close of public voting last year, there were 9 hookers who polled votes so no they're not well represented considering people think it's a crucial position. BTW IDG did get votes and Rein was the 3rd best hooker at that stage.
Anyway I agree with you IDG isn't great, but my overall point is there really isn't many good hookers going around at the moment.

Because Gurnie has used them all up

And every post that is a realistic, unemotional, non-whinging rant is gushing over the club?

Simply put yes

Why are you mentioning Latrell Mitchell when talking about the Warriors? He plays for the Roosters.

Ah ........ my apologies to DIBS. I meant Roger Tuivasa Sheck (who I believe is somewhat over-rated). I must have been having a seniors moment. I tell myself I don't have them, but obviously I do. Sorry, DIBS.

 

[Ivor]

Yes you thought he played for the warriors that was obvious

Yep, I'm sorry. I meant Tuivasa Sheck. My apologies. He's the one I meant was over-rated. Good player but not anywhere near a star yet in my opinion.
