Rumours and Stuff

[Stevie]

from the Joe O money?

i reckon Sam T has already been given a large increase for this year given its his first year top 30.

Are we assuming Sam T is going to step into our starting front rower shoes? Genuine question as I know he is young but keen to hear thoughts. He seems to still have plenty of baby body so no doubt he has plenty of evolving to do.

i think once walker came in, it just hacks the minutes out of Joe.

even with williams, Jnr, Hopgood, Walker, Morretti, Doorey, Tuivati

thats a lot of middles to share mins

Our forwards are lacking mongrel, drive and cohesion. We at least need a meathead like Nelson.

not yet, probably when jnr moves on.

i like Williams as a starting prop, hes got the toughness but also the mobility.

but i have been impressed by Sam, hop JR gives him a bit more time moving forward

No he will be extended as he is on a 2025 NRL contract.

Hopefully 4 years extension

Btw same manager as Galvin

they seemed to have plenty of mongrel vs the bulldogs in the second half

when they can consistently play with discipline, we will see how they go

Are you saying that they saved their mongrel attitude for only one half? No wonder we lost.

To be honest I don’t think anyone has a clue where Galvin is going to end up, forget all the inuendo and let’s concentrate on not shaming ourselves every

I think it’s a “done deal” but as it’s not official yet, anything can happen in the interim.

On another note I'm thankful that I'm not going anywhere over Easter. The roads were already chockers with merkins heading away for the break as early as this morning. Relos, seafood and relaxing at home seems a far better option.

what i am saying is they played with discipline, which means less errors, less penalties, which in turn means more possession and more importantly, more fuel in the tank for good line speed.

how can you play with mongrel and aggressive defense if you're making a hundred more tackles than your opposition due to turning the ball over?

Joe O to Superleague > Galvin to Eels > Brown to Centres?

Our lads prefer to give away easy penalties and leak points. There's no advantage in playing with discipline for half a game. I think Paulo is bordering on being a has been along with a few others that have been along for a ride down a side street or two.

Chickens? I've got a free range guinea fowl but no chickens.

double post

Yeah... that's bad

Yes I'd like to see them do it consistently

Galvin is an unbelievable talent at his age and I wish he was staying at the Tigers but he isn’t in the same vicinity as Fittler, or even Clyde, Daley or even SBW. I think recency bias is taking over

Fittler was playing Origin at 18…. He is really the best teenager Gus Gould has seen if he was being honest

I reckon it’s SBW.

I agree it wouldn't be the worse move and i would ask how much Melbourne are going to chip in.

We need an intimidator.

It might cost a few penalties but he looks like he is in the bad books with Bellamy and a change might be good thing.

I hope so
