Rumours and Stuff

[Tmars]

FWIW I think Blaize will be exposed like that delicious Portuguese bird on the weekend. At least he should be if Manly play well. DCE is no fool so he, Turbo and coach will have done their homework and seen how undeveloped and not NRL ready the kid is and will have or at least should have cooked up a game plan or two to stretch and strip our numbers out wide, especially when we tire and can't scramble quick enough to cover the unfolding play.

What I would have done is put Asi in and had him and Brown train all off season in different scenarios of interchanging between centre and 5/8th. Asi is by far the most talented and NRL ready back cover we have for cover. So we needed to make sure that if we were ever in this predicament and everyone but blind Potates could see that it was a real possibility since we have so little outside back depth, that they and the whole team were familiar and ready for it. Like Cooper Cronk says, to fix a weakness you train till you are dreaming it in your sleep and it becomes instinctive and second nature to you.

But no, instead what we have is lets throw in a junior that is weak and hesitant in traffic under the high ball and not a powerful body by NRL standards for the collision both in attack and defence and against one of the fastest if not the fastest and most powerful teams in the league. Sure he maybe a great talent of the future, but he isn't ready now and I fear we will be handed our arses come Sunday and the poor kid will sadly be a significant contributor towards that outcome.

I don't blame the kid, Potates should know better.

I don't think there is any comparison between Asi and Blaize when it comes to talent.
I'm tipping a Jamie Lyon like debut from the kid.

Trouble with Lomax is that he is strictly a right side player so we'd have to move Peninisi and he is too expensive. Either persist and develop Blaize or go after some promising cheapie.

Lomax played left side in dragons games last year.
Hook played around with it.

Asi does not like putting his body on the line in defence! Have you seen his missed tackles.
Blaze has no issue with putting his body on the line in defence or attack he has always been that way through juniors and I think he will do the same on Sunday.

You're responding to the person who said Dylan Brown was too small for NRL before his debut

 

[The Predictor]

He already got a 2nd chance and he was too smug to appreciate it.

He basically rubbed it in the victims face and the court process basically nearly 2 years after being charged and pleading guilty.

As i said he was pretty average player anyway i wouldn't touch him with minimum wage.

I would rather bring back Will Smith that's how much i rate Tyrone May as a player let alone as a person.

He is the lowest of the low, no thanks!!

 

[The Predictor]

Yes but I'm in the business of giving ppl a 2nd chance and also wanting to see us win a premiership

Not all deserve a second chance, he is grubby as f**k !!

 

[The Predictor]

I believe the Panther have already offered him $500K and there are a number of other clubs that are ready to offer more, so are we willing to offer around $700K for him?

I don't think you could get him for anything less since there will be a couple of desperate clubs willing to offer that kind of money. I suppose we could offer around $600K and see if that is enough to entice him to leave and go to a strong quality club that is not to far away from home so he wouldn't need to uproot his life much and much less disruption. Maybe Potates could do some serious serenading and show the kid some deep and heavy persistent long time love which often can be the difference for some players when the money is comparable or slightly less then other suitors. I wonder is baldy capable of that?

Anyway I don't think our Recruitment Committee are looking his way for some reason even though he is an outstanding talent with his whole future ahead of him. Go figure.

This is the prick with his foot on the woman s. Throat

Admirable….though will still get smashed

Or he might succeed like that Jon Bon Jovi song.

Or maybe he'll just play wing.

My understanding of the Jon Bon Jovi song is that the guy died? His friend betrayed him?

I suppose the positive is that it couldn't be a draw in his first game (I may still be misunderstanding the song?)

Yeh, but he was initially successful (and glorious).

Will Smith..now we are clutching

blaize has only played 2 reserve grade games and a handful of flegg games????

only the special ones rise this fast

Usually it's just a countdown to hitting a certain bodyweight. Speed, strength, endurance, skill, mentality; all already there. Though he does still seem a bit light.

You said this on the 4th of August 2018:

I know that we have a couple of juniors coming through, but we will be very lucky if just one of our halves makes it and my money at this stage is on Dylan Brown. But as we know so many of our players are legends in the juniors and chumps in the NRL. So if BA is so keen on pissing off Norman and even rumours of Moses being on the outer, then this guy is a standout replacement and already at NRL standard.

And then you said this on the 4th of August 2018, in a typical TheRam/hindyeleven Bones-on-Bones style each way bet:

I hope you're right, but that is at least 2 or 3 years away I think. He is on the smaller side so it will take him a little longer to handle the intensity of NRL.

 

[Twizzle]

some one has way too much time on thier hands

 

[King-Gutho94]

I clicked on the quote Pou posted from Ram and it takes us back to 2018 quickly skimmed through a few pages.

Amazing how through time some of the opinions back then you would probably have a laugh and joke about now haha.

Freddy should have been seen as a possible option to replace BA.

Lachlan Lewis is going to be superstar.

Were a couple i saw

Its strange, because you have cherry picked these:
