Rumours and Stuff

Generational talent, we haven’t made the finals since losing him.

It’s no coincidence. Nothing ever is around here.

I'm just interested in seeing what Ivan can do with a kid BA passed on. I guess BA was focussing on the teen prodigy also known as Jake Arthur

Trying to move away from the BA chat, we are in the Ryles era!! And it looks promising!

But don't get why you need to post crap like that? Yeah we all have opinions on BA, but that really is a load of bullshit, that BA passed on Fonua.....

even the panthers said he quit the game:

"He played a first-grade trial against the Panthers in 2020 and that was it, he quit, he’d just had enough of the game."

"Disappeared for three years, came back to Brothers out at Penrith last year.

“He was 130kgs at a stage in his time off and out of the game"

while BA picked him in an NRL trial over all the other juniors (and JA and co)

yeah I don't really gert the John Funa discussion, I've seen enough of him to form the opinion that he was going to be nothing more than a part time park footballer.

Arthur’s did pretty well with Hopgood who Cleary didn’t want. Turned him into an Origin player. Did the same with Moses who Cleary didn’t rate at Wests.

Is it that Cleary didn't want Hopgood, or that Hopgood didn't want to wait for one of the game's great locks in Yeo to retire, before getting regular game time?

I liked what he did with Foran, Watmough and Corey Norman. Not to mention Kenny Edwards and Dylan Brown.

The correct answer is that everything is an opportunity to criticise the people who get paid to make these decisions. If Talagi kills it this year it’ll be the fault of someone at Parra. If he doesn’t, there will be someone to blame at Penrith. And because most fans don’t know any club official other than the head coach, he’s usually the one to get the blame.

Dylan Brown is a star.

Dylan Brown is a star.

He is without doubt the most overrated $tar wanting $1.2m a year. The guy couldn’t organise a wet t shirt contest.

Hang on.

Incorrect! If Talagi fails at Penrith, it’ll be BAs fault for not developing him enough

Generational talent, we haven’t made the finals since losing him.

Gutho declared Sloan a generational talent at the Dragons the other day. Maybe he was our issue. #sorrydidn't meantotalkaboutanotherteam

Serious question - is BA a relative?

Hang on.

There is a difference between Dylan wanting it, and Chris Orr wanting it.

BA couldn't develop a rash if he lived in a leper colony....

I never mentioned BA just asked if anyone remembered him. And that it will be interesting to see what Ivan can do with him.
Unsure the problem with my comment. Yes the discussion may of escalated afterwards. Perhaps you can use your brain and work out why before you attack me. Then you can apologise to me.Thanks



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.

 

[hindy111]

I'm also interest what we can do with those 3 Bulldogs players we signed.
It will be interesting what Ryles can do with them.

 

[hindy111]

I am also interested how Sanders develops and Boods. Isn't everyone?

Please.....you mentioned BA twice:

At the same time, claiming BA passed on him and was focusing on his son......

BA is history....get on the Ryles train.....

Now that's a better post. Yes I am very interested....
