Rumours and Stuff

[Soren Lorenson]

i'm just thinking outside the square here, what if Ryles plays for the next 2 weeks Dylan brown at dummy half?
he can tackle, he is fast & might be a better option than lussick. play hawkins at 6 & play Joash Papalli in the centres for Penisini

when Smith returns then move D Brown to centre with Simmonson

Who plays 7?

 

[Legal Eel]

We are also in competition when trying to retain our players. Or do you think they only leave when we don’t want them?

Brown didn't sign in competition though?

He did in 2022, but not this time.

As for moses, I know that he signed in competition at the start of 2023, but there was no competition this year - in fact, I believe he may have re-signed early knowing his injury history and looking for security.

So your point is flawed - although I'm sure you mean well and are not just opposing people for the sake of it - because why would you?

The right thing to do is to start with Brown at 3 and Joash at 6. At least if he (Ryles) is serious about sorting out our number 6 for next year.

Having Brown in there gives a fall back if Joash doesnt work (I think he'll be ok) and Brown's running game and defence outwide will be more than suitable.

1. Iongi
2. Jac
3. Russell
4. Brown
5. Lomax
6. Papalii
7. Hawkins
8. Williams
9. Lussick
10. Paulo
11. Kelma
12. KK
13. Hopgood

14. Walker
15. Guymer
16. Samrani
17. Doorey

Lussick can play 80 mins.

Prefer Williams at edge and Kelma to middle.

Via Buzz Rothfield on 360 he said Cobbo’s asking price is $600-$650k to move to Dragons.

f**k me!

Apparently Flanno wants him now but it won’t work. f**k me if we got him for $650k to play centre I think he’d be a sensation for us.

Said exactly that about Cobbo a few posts back. Yes Ryles get him here and get him fit, his mental attitude right and he'd be sensational!

There is always competition. Before clubs make a formal offer they are always in contact with player agents to get an idea of demand from rival clubs. If there’s only one serious offer it’s because that offer blew the rest out of the water. It doesn’t mean there was no interest.

So your point is flawed - although I'm sure you mean well and are not just opposing people for the sake of it - because why would you?

I don’t believe anyone would do this. Assuming they would says a lot about you.

No he has to think to be a dummy half more suited at centre

With all due respect you are suggesting 4 or more changes when we really only need 1 and a new interchange player.

Either Brown goes straight back into 6 and we find a centre to replace Penisini or Brown goes to centre to replace Penisini and the remaining backs are as per last round. Lussick will start at hooker (like last week) and we may see Hands on the bench or vice versa.

After the weekend I believe the best option is Brown to centre and hands to the bench. Hands service last weekend was very good in Cup and Lussick provided great service in first grade.

100%, Kelma a liability defending on edge but can do a job in the middle.

If Brown is selected at centre I owe everyone another beer.

correction I meant centre.

Massive if. We have bigger problems than outside backs.

Are you talking about tlt or the run on team

In the latest Q&A Bloke in the Bar podcast an interesting question was asked. Who is closer to a premiership, Eels or Dragons?

Eels was the pick. Kemp reckons shit will get worse before it gets better at the Saints.

Flanno is trying to buy his way into a premiership instead of following the same formula that seems to give you long term success with developing within..
