Rumours and Stuff

[TheRam]

I reckon that Arthur needs to bite the bullet next season and swap Jennings to the right and Taka to the left. Jennings is a joke. Sure when he decides to run he can be impressive and his defense is spot on, but his support play is, as we know, abysmal.

Just look at what Taka does/creates for his outside man. Does anyone think that Bevan would have scored manyf those tries had takka not been there. To have the worlds best winger starved of good early ball and hobbled by ball hog like Jenko is a travesty.

I would tell Jennings, suck it up princes, it's the right side and lern to like it.

Anyone think Brown (Wicks and Mannah starting) might be a good fit in the 13, with Beau starting the match at right edge and Moeroa and Kenny on the bench with Dave and Pritchard?

What about Mau?

 

[Chipmunk]

This is confirmed as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Chipmunk]

What about Mau?

Left edge, didn't think I needed to mention where he'd be.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

You'd have to think that's pretty closed to confirmed that he's at least signed.

Well I f**ken asked...

 

[Chipmunk]

Well I f**ken asked...

Thanks Travis

 

[natheel]

Halfback of the year wasn't he?

 

[natheel]

Left edge, didn't think I needed to mention where he'd be.

I skimmed your comment and thought you meant

8. Mannah
10. Wicks
11. Moeroa
12. Scott
13. Brown

Could Moeroa be turned into a prop? Considering he plays part of the game in the middle anyway and is only 21 still has time to grow

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Thanks Travis

Yes but that's still not an answer. Any reason to think he's top 25?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He might not have won two premierships like Jorge Taufua, but Nathan Brown's sole career NRL try was against us.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

People like to have a go at Paul Kent, but they forget the 4 premiership we won before his 30 second debut.

 

[Jake the snake]

Taufua hasn't won two premierships you dumb f**k!!

 

[Raudonikis]

So if we have offered Hastings, is it for hooker, 6, or 14?

He is a specialist organising half

 

[hineyrulz]

4!! Pathetic....

Tell the Sharks that.

 

[hindy111]

Hindy111 told you all taka had great potential. Mockers will mock but hindy111 will always rock.

Ram your a good guy but your always so negative. We just re signed norman landed brown and Vae with more to come. Enjoy it and have some faith in the team.
We are beating sides without our best player Norman. I see atleast 1-2 guys coming on board.We will be a strong side

 

[hineyrulz]

In Hindy and his amps we trust.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Tell you what cherry picker, why don't you go back and look at all his games this season and tell me how many he made 100m+ vs under 100m and lets see who is talking shit.

I did this a while back for you, but you ignored it.

Name me non-80 minute backrowers who make 100m per game while also clocking up 30 tackles per contest?
(and I don't mean guys who did it once, their average).

Now go pull Tepai's average numbers, and get ready for a surprise.

Surely if we got Hastings it would be to play in the halves!

Hoping you've scooped this for us - would be an exciting pickup.

Save me doing this, I expect you have, what is this avg and how does it compare?

I reckon that Tep is a little second year-ish partnered with being just 20, I think he more than holds his own in D and the last few weeks have be a noticeable improvement in attack too.

It was weeks ago, Tepai was amongst the top limited minute backrowers for both meterage and tackles per game. Can't remember the numbers exactly, 75m and 28 tackles or something?

I suppose he has improved since he has had some massive games since then?

**edit - just looked it up again**
Currently he is 83m per game and 30 tackles per game (average). That is in 59.9 minutes per contest.

Players who play less than 65m per game in a backrow position, make 25 or more tackles per game, and make more meters in attack than Moeroa are:
Corey Parker (128m, 31 tackles)
Paul Carter (30 tackles, 90m - also idiot who no longer plays NRL)
Sio Siua Taukeiaho (27 tackles 114m)

3 guys in the entire NRL??? Rammy tilting at windmills again.
