Rumours and Stuff

[TheCrowe]

Mate, he is top 30 quality, and will be for the next two years, assuming normal ageing and no serious injuries. Whatever happened with him this year has nothing to do with his (limited) quality. If he spat the dummy that’s something he can fix, but he is a much better player than blokes who were selected ahead of him in reserve grade this year. He defended well at a variety of positions, in a team that was on the back foot all season. His run metres were down on previous years but that’s more about the way he was used. The thing about reserve grade is nobody gives a shit about results so you don’t need to pick your best (reserve grade) players. You can ‘adjust attitudes’ on the bench all you like.

Was he better then Moretti and Hands who were outside our top 30? If not then he was not in our top 30 players last year. Cant argue with maths!

I was informed that we were clearing the decks for Matt Arthur so this is definitely an odd signing

Who is this kid

Give that little mofo a development contract.

FB is the main concern.

When Gutho was not on the field we conceded 14 tries in 120 mins of game time he wasn't on.

Try every 8 and half mins

If he's not on a Dev for 24, then he won't be seeing much NSW Cup as they would see Hands as next guy up. Or Maybe they have a cunning plan and have a new guy comming in ?

Who is this kid

 

[hineyrulz]

Well we got our answer Gronky.

He id a dummy half? .... he looks like a ball runner .... maybe a second block of cheese

Matt Arthur is talented and a great kid however he will have similar problems to his father when he was graded.

Receding hair line?

I could be wrong but I see something in Morretti. He has a lot of heart. If Matalele developed his attitude we'd have two forwards with raw power amd excellent leg speed. Throw in Betham and the pack would be transformed so the style of forwards you want. Quick acceleration and run hard with ability to break tackles and bust the line.
Guys who hurt the opposition and take the gas out of their tanks. Guys like Matterson,Bryce,Hopgood and excellent players skill wise. But they don't hurt the other side. Bust them up and bruise then. You still need these guys but you want a balance. Especially now Jnr has lost his hard nosed approach.

J'maine Hopgood seems plenty tough.

Little brother taking our scraps again.

Just needs to work on his defence...

As do the other 16 players in the team...

With all due respect, why wouldn't we?

We've won nothing for 40 years - meanwhile, you guys will win your fourth straight Premiership in 2024.

At least your scraps aren't coming from the garbage disposal down at narrabeen.

Well, there's no doubting that your club has the runs on the board, so that does make it easy for the likes of yourself to have a cheap dig. Kudos to you.

I did enjoy watching Carty have a decent year

 

[IFR33K]

That fella looks like he’s on the spectrum

 

[strider]

He certainly looks like a mad merkin
