Rumours and Stuff

[JokerEel]

Let's hope it's not us

 

[JokerEel]

@hindy111 what's happened to Soni Luke? Is he injured or fallen out of favour? He was the next best thing for a while there.

Luke got jumped by Sommerton Talau and soon to be Scott.

Bunty Afoa? Latest rumour going around on socials....

 

[hindy111]

That's great mate. He got us to a GF like Moses has. We also were regulars in the semis with Moses.

How did we go after 2009 with your immortal ?

Imagine Hayne with Dylan at 5/8 not orbiter and our forward pack at it's peak. He'd costs the same as Moses so we'd have 850k Gutherson money for a halfback.
You'd get a decent one for that.

Moses is a very good halfback. Not the best. Maybe top 3. Never ever a chance to be talked about as an immortal.

Jarryd Hayne was a two time Dally M winner and potentially the greatest player the game has produced. Had he backed up his 2014 form for another 4-5 yrs then he takes that crown I'd say as the beat player the games seen.
Anyone who prefers Moses to that is a fool

As talented as he was, he didn't take us to the promised land. We use to win spoons with him but

Imagine that Moses kicking game paired up with an elite defense. That's how you win comps.

Hayne, brown, that's yt highlights stuff

Ffs ,@hindy111 tell your mate no!

 

[EelEtric]

Having lightweight forwards is great for mobility, and ruck defence - but we need to offset that somewhat with quick, powerful backs, like Penrith do.

We have powerful backs, like Sivo, and Penisini.

We have quick backs, like Simonsson.

But we don't have backs with both attributes, imo.

Lomax?

If we happened to move on a few of our current pack I wouldn't hate Bunty for a couple of years at the right price to help bring on our young forwards.

Brown has elite defence

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I hope the knights gave him a PO so BA can get him to piss off out of another contract when "Uncle Adam" gets the flick next year.

As there won't be close connection looking after him.

The PO doesn’t let them break the contract.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Iongi is apparently pronounced Yongi.

Next you’ll be telling us Ioannis isn’t pronounced eye-oh-anus

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yes
2025 is a rebuild.
BA era has left us with a bottom 2 finish
A bunch of over paid old players with POs
No money to spend
Our most highly rated juniors signing elsewhere.

It got us four straight years in the finals, something we haven’t achieved since 2002.

Those highly rated juniors are leaving because they’re blocked by two of the best halves in the game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So are you saying the Penrith system couldn't teach him how to defend in the line?

The Penrith system is like any other ‘development’ system, including ours. It’s about recruitment/retention, not teaching. If it was about teaching they wouldn’t bother signing kids from overseas or interstate, or even from country NSW. They would just teach the local kids to become first graders.

Brah, I was highlighting the hypocrisy of everyone saying Penrith will fix Blaize’s poor defence by showing that they couldn’t do the same with Soni. I was too clever for my own good.

 

[Eelementary]

Lomax?

Forgot about him - definitely a huge upgrade on any of our backs.

It isn't...it's actually Ee-or-ar-niss

I agree Hayne was a better player, but Moses’ kicking game is harder to replace than Hayne’s running game.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Also - watch Penrith turn Talagi into a defensive beast next year.

I’m interested to see whether they play him in the same edge as Papali’i. But also, he is 19. His defence was going to improve wherever he ended up.

Hayne is extremely influential and not in a good way. Team chemistry is a huge factor in onfield success. Hayne was here for three wooden spoons under three different coaches.
