Rumours and Stuff

Anyone giving Dan Kier any love? I didn’t really see him play much this year so I don’t know if he’s going to be useful.

He's ok, but he's 26 years old, and only cracked First Grade at an injury-ravaged Eels side...

I haevnt watched a lot of him but I thought Ogden looked strong against the Tigers last week. Whats wrong with the bloke?

TCT said that he’s focused on his post footy career.

My guess is that there was a contract there for him but the window to become a copper whilst his body allows was a wise decision. At age 28, what if he played for another few years as a bottom 30 player ? Maybe knee or hip recons ?

We have a good set of mobile or hard working middles:

Ofahengaue
Hopgood
Matterson
Guymer
Lane

Paulo is the only passenger, and as you say, he is still a great attacking forward as long as his fatigue is managed during the game. Lomax will pick up a lot of the slack in go forward. It’s very exciting.

We need at least one more up front if we want to be a top 4 team and defensively compete for a Premiership. Offa isn't enough or good enough to take the A position in the front row and Guymer at this stage is a solid rookie at best. Even when we made the GF Lane and Matto weren't the Alpha forward in our pack, so once again if anyone expects either of them to step up and take the lead turn us into a title contender they are kidding themselves.

With us showing RCG the door, unless we can replace him with a real quality A front rower our team has been weakened.

Having a coach who backs him might help when more, we all know what the previous coach never backed him………..

The previous coach was the first one to ever pick him in the NRL.

Tuilagi runs like Ma'u, but defends like his brother, Talagi.

He's not fit to lace the boots of Manu Ma'u.

He certainly needs to defend alongside a half who doesn’t need a babysitter. Maybe Drown can be his minder?

 

[The Predictor]

Aside from RCG, that departing list is a whole bunch of "meh".

Sivo staying?

He only looks strong against your mob.

He believed in him so much he replaced him by Joey f**king Lussick.

And believed in him more than his previous coach.

I haven't heard anything about him leaving as yet.
