Rumours and Stuff

[Soren Lorenson]

We havent developed a decent back since Semi. It's embarrassing that in 12yrs best we've come up with is Will and Russel. Fair players but 12yrs? And these two come through 4 or 5yrs ago now. Nothing since?
Ridiculous

Blaize. But we lost him. But you are right no others come to mind.

Agree but he is a 5/8. We've actually produced 2 very goood 5/8s in a shortish period of time which is a possitive. Obviously a shame we lost them.

Its ok, we got a rental for a year

MONs got this

Samrani turns like an old school bus. Sides just roll the ball behind him close to the line and he's done. If he makes it then it's at 2nd row.

Thisis why you need to cut down the kicker's time with the ball. If the kick is precise, the chaser will always win the race because he is already running in the right direction. Sean Russell beat Walsh (and every other Broncos back) to a chip kick ffs. It didn't matter how quick they were because he had the jump on them.

Problem is we have nobodies besides JAC and Iongi from 1 to 5. We need a gun somewhere out wide to accommodate our lack of threat.

Because outside backs can play NRL much younger than other positions, the market for them in pathways recruiting is insane.

You think Matterson lacks ability? He's won a premiership and played Origin. Just turned 31.

He doesn’t need coaching, he needs an exorcist.

Yeah but that kick didn't make it into the in goal so it doesn't count

This is my talent scouting report
Samrani is far too slow to turn and take off and should only be considered a centre or wing option if he is on bench and cop an injury in backline or we have an injury crisis.
He has reasonable strength and a strong work ethic/ good attitude. Deff one to persist with on the edge[2nd row]. At worse a handy back up to have in the top 30.

He might be the best we've seen since Nathan Davis.

That's more an excuse then a legit reason.

Probably a blessing in disguise. His defence is awful. I’m not sure if it’s fixable. Penrith weren’t able to hide him this year and it’s one of the reasons why their dynasty ended.

Just shows you need to spend a lot of money to poach the best outside backs into your pathways. They are a very low risk (therefore high cost) signing.

Thank God for The Rhinos!

We thank God for the st Mary’s saints and Colton colts.

Every junior comp has its big clubs. As the Kellyville area has grown (and 'rugby league families' have been priced out of suburbs closer to Parramatta), the Rouse Hill Rhinos have become one of the biggest junior clubs in the Parramatta district, but still only half the size of some of the clubs in the Penrith district.

The district rules are pretty ridiculous. We had all th junior clubs up to St Marys but when Penrith came into the competition after us they were allocated all the strong rugby league areas that we once held . They were given an unfair advantage despite coming in afterwards. I think more clubs in the Blacktown LGA should be given to Parramatta to make up for the unfairness (although it’ll never happen).

As usual that’s not correct, the only club in the Penrith comp significantly bigger than the Rhinos is St Marys. . Hills and Wenty Leagues would field more teams or similar as St Clair, Brothers , Glenmore Park etc. Rhinos ditched A-Grade a number of years ago to prioritise their age group teams, basically that contributes to a few less teams in that club.

Penrith still have a way larger pool of players to pick from.
