Rumours and Whingers and Occasional Optimism XXIX

[Stagger eel]

Since when has form been a consideration for rep sides?

Maybe it's a final test selection for Gallen, before his rep retirement after this year's SOO.

Mmmmmm!! I don't know ... When blokes like Sione Matautia and Josh Mansour made the Australian team?

Watched the highlights of the game. Looks like Morgan from the Cowboys had a very good game. Would it be wise to offer him the 6 jersey for $700 odd thousand if Norman thinks he is worth well over that? I'm a big Michael Morgan fan. He does specilaise on the right however his kicking game probably isn't as good as Norman's

Thoughts?

He's a gun. Super fullback too. And do we know his kicking isn't as good as Norman's? He just doesn't do it as JT does it all. I think people who rate Norman better have their Parra goggles on.

Bigger, faster, stronger. Probably smarter. And when he was miced up for one of those footy shows it was clear his teammates respect him as it was him giving them instructions after they'd conceded a try. Not Thurston.

I rate Norman, but for the same price or less, I'd swap them in a heartbeat.

Is he even off contract?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But also, I believe he's Townsville born, so would be hard to prize him out of there.

I think so.

I thought he was really good at fullback when he played there. Good pickup considering our FB and 5/8th is going.

But he wasnt the star. Coote was.

It was quite a crappy game.

JT had a crap game.

We knocked on and gave away penalties and did not look good in their 20,

Coote was the only star in the whole game

 

[Dibs]

I think so.

I don't. I'm sure he extended his contract last year

Thanks. I was watching the footy a couple of weeks ago and thought they mentioned he was off contract. Must've been someone else, obviously.

You are thinking Coote

You are thinking Coote

Yep. Seems likely.

I don't think Morgan would fit into our system of play. He's good but he isn't a kicker, instead Coote has been the main long kicker over a half. He isn't a half but he's too good not to have in the team so they have to put him somewhere.

JT had a crap game.

Don't worry, he'll still get 3 Dally M points for last night's game.

Thurston still had more LBAs and TAs than our whole team put together. He obviously worked off the back of good go forward.

In round two we shut Thurston down and we did it by first stopping his forwards.

 

[Bigfella]

Last night's ame was a reality check for those saying we have the best halves In the game, or that we can afford an ordinary fullback going forward because the halves are so good.

Why don't we go after Coote?

 

[Bigfella]

I reckon he's played himself into origin favouritism now.

Hell of a player.

Wonder if Loz will ditch both Teddy and Bogan to pick him ? Computer says no.
