Rumours and Stuff

Well we do need someone to be ready to go in 2026.

Enough with the GIFs. Honestly they are pathetic.

If Tuivati and Guymer were at a stronger club they would be in reserve grade too.

Of course they would but don't players want to be able to have more nrl experience and able to stay in the team?

I'm not even sure Guymer is going to be good. Kinda looking like a small Alvaro

Of course they do but it's much easier to get both of those in a wooden spoon favourite team than to earn it and improve in a much stronger club.

I guess that’s why they haven’t left, because there’s better opportunities in our pack.

Guymer looked great last year amongst a forward pack that was playing like dog balls.

In hindsight it wasn't hard to stand out with a bit of enthusiasm and effort considering the garbage the rest were tossing up.

Because his head looks similar? Guymer is smaller than Alvaro but far more mobile, plus he can play that middle half role and on the edge. Don’t forget he is still eligible for Flegg, so he will get stronger.

Ryles has decided to go with a youth policy.

All we can do is hope that fast tracks some of the development with these kids and in 2 years time with 40-50 games under there belt they are quality first graders you can trust every week.

Yeah, but even in 2026 Smith and Iongi will have less than 30 games each, so an inexperienced spine without Moses and with KT replacing Drown.

For '26 I would rather we had someone with more FG experience, unless they are absolute world beaters. In '27 Smith and Iongi would have 50+ games each and you can afford another inexperienced player in the spine.

Making the right decisions required comes with experience, not flair.

Hopefully. Watching the Bulldogs young prop yesterday thou and some of Brisbane's and the Roosters young kids and they look a level above

Facebook rumour is that the Dolphins half wants to come back to Sydney and cherry to take his place

Katoa is a gun player and would be a valuable signing if he was to leave the Dolphins.

 

[emjaycee]

We could be the next M.Witt/Mortimer ready to unearth. That's why the club would be looking elsewhere.

Sure, but Walker showed the value of experience, which is something we wont have in our spine if Moses doesn't play.

If you were a 19 yo, would you want to be playing off the bench in nrl or in reggies for Canberra or Newcastle or Panthers? Serious question.

Yup might make galvin cheaper

 

[RustedonEel]

If I was interested in immediate gratification - off the bench. If I was interested in future development and improvement - reggies for Canberra or Newcastle(?) or Panthers.

I would choose nrl. I reckon you would learn more rubbing shoulders and consistently training with nrl players learning and copying what they do to prepare etc. You would get more advice, maybe special training. I remeber when Russell struggled under the high ball, then it was fixed after a couple of weeks and he catches the ball exactly like how Gutho does it. I'm sure Gutho had some side lessons with him.

Is you were in reggies, i don't reckon you would get as much attention.

And if your are still in the team like Sam, you're doing something right.

I think you learn more being thrown in the deepend, if you're good enough

You might get lucky and a star takes you under your wing

 

[Timana]

I don't watch reggies but Blaize mightve killed it in reggies and if his pathway was blocked and he kept at it in reggies he could be coasting and wouldn't know about his defensive flaws and wouldn't have paid attention in fixing them

I didn't like Blaize for 2 reasons, his defense and his attitude. Mayn't times he would not get up and chase back

He would look good playing alongside Moses.

Fair enough. Don't forget NRL and most of the reggies do a lot of training together. Yes, there are benefits to being thrown in the deep end but preferably when you're surrounded by experienced team mates.

Which young dogs prop? Todd or Hayes?

Either way both are 23 this year, 2 years older then Guymer.

Broncos also didn't have any forwards on Saturday younger then 23....

Our forwards on Saturday had 4 players 23 or younger...
