Rumours and Stuff

[Joshuatheeel]

According to Pacific Sports Management social media we have signed Nixon O’Connor to a juniors/dev deal. Pretty fair wraps on him, from the Gold Coast

What position does he play?

edit

Just looked him up: Prop.

The kid is only 16 this year.

I thought Dick was a super specimen of an athlete (according to TCT).

He's not ready yet?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Just overrated rhinos.

But this Rhino is ok?

Agree. Just put Lorenzo there. He is better than Joash and at least half an inch taller.

Well, he did miss a year due to an ACL injury......

He is developing nicely, 5 NSW cup games....getting up to averaging 120 or so metres in NSW cup with good PC metres. Few missed tackles, but probably not to concerning considering edge combos always changing in cup.

If he continues to build on his attack, will come into contention for an NRL start (but is tough with our depth there).

So the words in italics didn't resonate with you? Bit like the small print in contracts. Not seen but say a lot.

Thank you for your needless contribution.

This game is tipped to get 60k plus. If this Dogs v Eels game was an Eels home game would we be playing it at Parra Stadium and shutting out 30k or 40k people or would we switch it to Stadium Australia? I know the answer and I hate it.

I’m also expecting the Josh Curran rumours to the Eels to gain momentum.

How likely is this to be true?

doggies supporters wouldn’t like this one at all

 

[Avenger]

Not your best comment, so one of the 3 biggest junior clubs in the district only has over rated juniors. Cmon ,he’s no longer at the club.

Richard Penisini is a Rhino isn’t he? and apparently the next in line

Heard this one about 3 weeks ago off a mate at the doggies but nothing eventuated so possibly happening but not this week

 

[Avenger]

But this Rhino is ok?

He could end up being another overrated one too. When Sean Russell is to this date the best Rhino we’ve had you know that club will be on a hiding to nothing.

Does he play the same side as Wenis?

Pensini is a better Rhino than Horny Sean although the muscle has higher rep honours

2 points is more crucial in this competition.

We sold our dignity for a million bucks a year playing in Darwin.

And look at the embarrassment that became over the last 5 years.

We played home games at Homebush against the Dogs for 11 years and the highest attendance we ever got was 31,991 in 2010.

The crowd average is 24k for a Parra v Dogs Home game at Homebush.

The on the fence Parra fans won't travel to Homebush for a home game.

Samuel Loizou has been named in the 22 the past 3 weeks.

Sounds like he is ahead of Dick Penisini if we are going off that criteria.

Haze Dunster has disappeared from the planet hasn't played Cup in weeks and not on the injury list.

 

[Stagger eel]

We need 1 or 2 centres for next year. Do we have any coming thru?

Avaz Nanva and Tuvaka Palu are 2 kids I've got big wraps for, there's also Renisini but he hasn't done much atm, albeit his development has been disrupted due to an ACL.

Are they Rhinos?

Another overrated Rhino

Nanva is not sure of the other kid

Playing reserve grade at 20 is a good sign. He could still play Flegg in 2026.

Will Penisini is heaps better than Russell.
