Rumours and Stuff

[Daniel Vella]

Vella, we've signed RCG, Waqa & Matto in 5 months , & you're still complaining - how much can a koala bear ?

Maybe frizell?? We need one more decent back rower to be a premiership team

Do we? Lane and Matterson are 70-80 minute edge forwards. Niukore will probably be on the bench and Takairangi is a chance of being in the 17 too. Adding Frizzell seems unnecessary to me.

Yeah but he'll give us a bit more experience maybe drop taka and slide lane onto the bench

Lane's style is a bit individual and by that mean it isnt something that any other backrower in our squad brings. He gives Dylan some good options early in the game and that puts doubt into opposition. Not the same benefit from the bench.

Yeah true lanes a tank. Maybe tetevano could be a better option

Personally I'm more interested in whom they've told to get f**ked!

How much does he want?

Tell hin he's dreaming

Another quality middle would be nice but I don’t think it’s essential for us to be serious contenders. Our top 13 rivals anyone in the comp as far as I’m concerned (yep, even the roosters) and our bench isn’t terrible. If we have a good run with injuries I think we should be a top 4 side with a serious push for the GF.

Our spine is still very inexperienced. That will continue to hurt us in the tight games.

Not as much as they were though coming into this year.

Moses , Gutho, and Mahoney all played every game this year from memory, that has to serve us well.

 

[Twizzle]

ask the Broncos how inexperienced they were

if you're good enough you're old enough

Our spine’s experience will be similar to the Roosters’ next year. Tedesco, Flanagan, Keary and Verrills (he’ll overtake Friend) have a combined 297 games between them.

Gutho, Moses, Drown and Mahoney have a combined 273 games between them.

I particularly liked Moses’ maturity and calmness this year and both Drown and Mahoney seem to have the types of games (and temperament) that won’t be too phased in tight games. Our spine should be fine next year.

Maybe another back as we're probably short a quality centre and Storm are apparently/allegedly shopping Curtis Scott. If injuries occur or MJs form drops we have no decent replacements.

Scott wouId be to much for a back up, also while Taka is far from perfect he is a pretty good back up option for centre.

We also have some young options in Salmon / Parry however we probably do need another back that can cover a few positions in the back line. But not in Scott’s price range.

Hoff for another year wouId be good

Friend isn't even 30. He will still be in their spine next year, especially having lost 350+ games in Cronk.

Josh, I'm not having a go, but has Salmon actually played at centre for us yet? It seems like there has been a few opportunities to play him there and BA has gone in another direction. I'm not convinced centre is in the plans for him.

You think his second position maybe in a place?

Would like to see Andrew Davey given a run against the big boys....Hunger for a spot has a habit of producing extraordinary results..Look at Rocky Balboa for an example........
