Russell Packer

On a side note, has anyone seen the final NZ team announcement. That forward pack is BRUTAL. If the Kiwis 1, 6 & 7 can get it right, the Roos will have their hands full. It's first time I've been excited about a test match in a while.

Packer named to start.

Yeh agreed. Combinations seem to disadvantage them in one off tests. Will be less of an issue with an all Warriors spine.

Forward pack looks pretty awesome, JWH couldn't even get in the squad.

The 1, 6 and 7 for NZ are lethal too. All seem to be clicking for the warriors as a combination too.

For all his offfield drama, Foran is an absolute gun. Makes a massive difference to the NZ side with the way he complements Johnson and lets him shine.

Foran is a gun IMO. Great acceleration. Very underrated.

Agreed. If he could stay injury free I think he would be talked about as one of the best players in the game. Defends like an edge forward and takes on the line hard, plus has the passing and kicking game to be an elite half. Whole package.

If his body holds up I think he still has a huge career ahead in the nrl.

A few years back we had Poore and Weyman, the NSW props at the time. We lost Poore and still won the comp...Losing Packer won't be the end of the world.

Packer is five times the player Poore was. Packer is ruthless on field.....Poore was no where near packers on field presence.

Packer gives great go forward and is a great foil for Vaughan. Ah Mau has also been in good form. I would like to see Kerr be the fourth prop as Sele lacks size.

Agree, especially about seeing Kerr on the bench. LAM is going great this year off the bench too.

FFS why hasn't he signed already?? Hate this bullshit it rips at the heart of the club. Hate it! Either sign for the club that pulled you out of a big hole and paid you when you were banned from playing NRL for a year and have made a good offer or just go but do it now.

I believe Packer's manager is playing a very smart game. Have Dugan stringing Millward along until Packer's price rises. Then Dugan moves on with pleant of cash to pay Packer's market price. What a mess.

If duges goes i think it will be a blessing. We need a fullback who can help ignite the side. A fb who when he gets the ball we all stand up in anticipation. A fb who is elusive, can pass a ball, and create opportunities when nothing much is on. Duges is strong.....but lumbering ...and fairly predictable. So i say bring on a new fb. If duges stays and agrees to play centre or back row one day.....fine. We need someone to excite us.....duges does not.

You mean like Widdop

 

[willzy91]

So according to the Mole in his first scoop with WOOS he has Packer leaving the Dragons and joining up with the Tigers next year.

I really can't see Dugan staying - the Bulldogs must be close to signing him

Apparently the Dogs don't want him.

One man wont create enough chances to beat top teams. And widdop certainly isnt in the class that gets us up on our feet and be excited. He is ok....but second tier. (Three tiers in each team) Great... good.....poor

I would take morris over dugan any day. Bulldogs need an excitement machine when morris time comes to an end... same as we do. It aint duges.

The Mole is an absolute classic. His scoop is nothing but something thats been known for the past couple weeks, there's no exclusive source to his article at all.

Packer's waiting for our offer which hasn't been laid out yet because his manager (the same as Widdop and Dugan) agreed with the club to sort out there futures first before they outline Packer's contract. I'm 99.9999999999% sure that Packer will be staying with us long term.

If packer goes i will dislike him for ever......traitor if it occurs. And the club should hang its head too.....incompetent if it occurs
