Rumours and Stuff

JAC not named in the indigenous side? So no loophole for his suspension.

Indigenous side counts as 1 game for him. He wasn't named because he was suspended.

I wouldn't be quite so quick to judge. Did you ever see Brett Mullins defend in the line in his first couple of seasons?

Mullins was special. Talagi is especially shite.

Newcastle decided they actually needed to keep Brailey once he arrived!

but but but he used to run really fast at training’ fishing just behind Gutho.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Played a total of 1 game at fullback in NRL.

Reserve grade form counts for plenty.

I just remember Newcastle won......

No thats your point.

Well I'm the one telling the story. You've got your own forum.

Certainly not 5'5
Closer to 5'9 id guess

According to the bloke in the bar podcast there is no way the space cadet is on $900k with the options he has. He is probably on unders. Assuming this is correct and he is on about $750k and Ryles is not budging on an increase I reckon he isn’t fussed on losing him.

It’s the last 10 min. Kemp repeats himself so much and needs to improve his podcasting skills especially when he is central to the episode.

not when you are responding to my posts

You've got your own forum.

well it seems you are trying to make this one yours.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It is. It’s for all Eels fans and not for you.

I think @Tiger5150 is the inverse @Rhyno

Of course you reckon it’s a better deal, you go for Parra. Everyone now rates Iongi and hates Talagi what a surprise.

The reality is Penrith needed to replace Luai, and Iongi was stuck behind Edwards. Now both get a shot at playing First grade on a regular basis.

Thank you for a balanced opinion - I think the Ionghi/ Edwards thing is fair, and hoping it works out as well for us as the Yeo/ Hopgood thing.


I do think you will get super frustrated by Talagi defensively. He is worse than hopeless. Chris Sandow level appalling. Unless he improves out of sight he won't be in 1sts long I wouldn't think

A recruiter was supposed to call me at 12pm this afternoon for a chat about a potential opportunity.

It's 12:35, and I haven't heard a peep.

I wasn't planning on leaving my current role, anyway, but it's always good to see what is out there.

But this recruiter is appalling.

You need to go back a few months and read the game day thread if you think everyone rated Talagi..

The perception of his value increased when he it became apparent he was open to offers from other clubs.

 

[Zoso]

I think this because Ive seen both of them play. Enjoy Turnstyle Talagi.

Tigers fans said similar things about Mitch. His defense has improved considerably, no reason Talagi’s can’t either.

I think we did him a little dirty by blooding him early.

Needed a year in cup atleast.

I don't think he would have seen it that way.

I think his lack of pace will be a good enough reason as to why he won't improve like Mitch did.

Can't tackle them if he cant catch them.

Anyone remember a junior called Sione Fonua.
He gave the gane away for 5yrs and has surfaced under Ivan. I am interested in what he can do with him.

 

[Pazza]

Yeah I'm sure he's very happy with how it all panned out.

Still he was only in there due to roster mismanagement
