Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Fordy20]

How does Tyrone Roberts-Davis go? He is with the tigers now and apparently plays fullback.

Wait what? I thought he was with the Goannas for next season

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Agreed. I’d take Mansour on current form over both those boys.

Mansour is the Josh Reynolds of wingers

 

[BrotherJim05]

Does anyone know the money he is asking?

 

[Front-Rower]

Mansour is the Josh Reynolds of wingers

What? 2 grand finals and a state of origin winner?

 

[Vic Mackey]

I wouldn’t take Mansour for free

Kepeoa and Talau are our future, they won’t learn anymore in nsw cup, they need to be playing NRL

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

What? 2 grand finals and a state of origin winner?

Haha don’t act as if he’s the same player he was when he was playing origin 5 years ago

signing him on a lengthy contract would be going backwards I’m almost certain. I’d be okay with 1 year on the cheap but he wants 3

Our best 4 games all year were with him at 5/8th when Marshall got the axe. He helped Nofa get the attitude needed to be a first grade quality player. Balmain fans don’t like Reynolds because he didn’t grow up in the area.

AJ and Talau...? Literally said that in my initial post

In what way have either of those two cemented their spot?

Your last comment is absolute horseshit. The reason why people wanted Reynolds gone is quite simple....NO VALUE FOR MONEY!!!

Not saying either have cemented their spots. But why do we want to sign an over the hill, broken 31 year old when we 2 kids who are just as good as it stands now...with tremendous upside?

Only if they are good enough.
Both were f**king ordinary this year.
I hope they improve dramatically.

I don’t think they are

 

[Wizardman]

Talau has some definite upside in him.....Kepeoa....on this year, no bloody way. Kepeoa needs some nsw cup time which he'll hopefully get in the new year.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

I don’t think they are

Pros of Mansour???

the 2 kids played in a shit house team and still punched well above their weight. Harsh critic

Our worst ever signing. There are no excuses for how poor he was. Plus we paid him top dollar.

Him leaving without us signing an additional player means we are in a significantly better position. Just dwell on that for a moment.

 

[Tiger05]

I reckon Kepaoa is ahead of Talau right now. He can play. I think I'd pick Talau at right centre but I'd definitely pick Kepaoa on the left wing.

I'd even consider him at fullback.


I should add that I didn't rate Talua but he is starting to look good.

i managed to stumble across some highlights of the 2nd souffs game and Parra game while I was bored at work today...Tommy T in particular had a blinder in both.

Reynolds even acknowledged this fact before he left.

a video best enjoyed with the sound on mute

but yes I think a proper pre season with us he will be the goods. They reckon he had eye problems too, which has now been fixed with surgery
