Is that you Ryhno?

Lol trust me he is very talented, he’s always been a standout in the juniors he was just to small and skinny he had to build up a bit. The limited nrl minutes he has had he looked dangerous with a lot of his touches. Plus he’s competing against mbye who just is not a very good fullback let’s be honest.

We’ve had some small FB in the past, who were great for us (I thought), Hodgo and Thommo so we are used to that. Cheers.

It will take Laurie about 5 minutes to push Mbye out of the fullback position.

Maguires comments in the paper today seem to indicate he is thinking that too. Says Laurie is our longterm 1 whilst Mbye can cover a few positions

Based off comments I’ve seen from our coaching staff and other bits here and there this is what I believe we’ll most likely see:

1. Laurie
2. Talau
3. Leilua
4. Roberts
5. Nofoaluma
6. Doueihi (Madden round 1)
7. Brooks
8. Tamou
9. Liddle
10. Twal
11. Garner
12. Leilua
13. Ofahengaue (was reported he was bought as an 80min lock)

14. Mbye
15. Musgrove
16. Blore
17. Utoikamanu/Mikaele

Still think Packer is a Smokey, seen him in some of the vid grabs and still photos, he appears to be at it hard, if he is fit this year, he can still be a weapon.

That’s 4mins & 59 seconds longer than what I reckon it will take

Ur being very kind describing Mbye as not a very good fullback.He is pathetic/woeful/shithouse....The most expensive player on our roster who I regard as the worst player on our roster.

I agree especially as it’s contract expiry time for the mercenary.

Yep, though I don’t think he will be getting offered anywhere near what he’s earning now

From his Instagram I can see he is already hanging out with some of your players so hopefully he hits the ground running. He is ready for it, the minutes he did get for us last season we’re not because we had injuries and had to play him, they kind of went out of their way to get him a some minutes imo it was in case edwards got hurt later in the year Laurie could slot and have a little bit of experience.

I like Edwards he’s a good fullback and I really like Staines long term but if things had of worked out differently this off-season and somehow Laurie ended up Penriths starting fullback in 2021 I would of been pretty happy.

 

[The Rosco]

Is that you Ryhno?

. . . Lol, no.
rhyno would have bagged us for stealing the Penrith kid, then forcing a loyal servant like moombai out of his position.
And then, if we were lucky, he would have rounded off the story with the tale of how he was a better junior than Hayne, Inu and Folau.
He was, you know. Just ask him.

Well to be fair if the rivalry heats up again this season I probably am going to bag you guys for poaching him

Well mate, I see it like this:
We still hate Ivan for what he did.
But the passing of a little time helps us get over it, and hate you guys less.
If we go better than expected this season, we just might not give a fkk about Ivan.
So, logically . . . you should cheer us on and we stay all chummy on here.

All good I’m not really wishing you guys go badly, I just get carried away with the banter sometimes and the old poaching line is an easy cheap shot to throw. I will definitely be happy to see Laurie doing well he’s a good kid.

Contract year mate, he'll do what is needed to earn himself a gig elsewhere then phone it in

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

He has a point. We have a bunch of players who potentially may be really good but could be really ordinary as well.

I agree...but where does being negative ever get people? have faith in your team ffs.

New team, new outlook.

I thought he was injured for much of the time in the last 2 years?
Who knows he may want to stay and be part of the emerging team finally cracking the 8. On a lower salary of course.

Maybe, but i don't think that excuse will fly any more. Fact is his output for us has been terrible and he owes us big time
