Te'o Takes Control Of His Future

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Beauty, he's a talent. Now, if we can only keep Head.

*bump*

I'll drive Te'o the Taj Mahal
They love a lazy, undisciplined forward at Kogarah

 

[madunit]

so two games now where we were getting punished by a much bigger forward pack, and he goes missing.

I don't think it's any coincidence.

 

[themanonthehill]

He didn't go missing ... the touchie and beau ryan needed company

 

[super_coach]

Teo would be a great asset in a pack that has a front row, but in our pack he is being exposed. Still worth keeping. Tends to be a goodtime charlie, looks brillant against the cream puffs but nots so good against the guns. He is only young and should get better worth a risk. When you consider what we are paying some others who have no potential he is worth the risk

 

[themanonthehill]

One of the papers today was saying the Broncos are a show of landing him ...

I wouldn't lose any sleep over him tbh

Like you said goes missing big time when the chips are down

 

[aids]

piss the dog off, as i said on par with harrison
the 2 on the field at the same time and we'll leak in 20+ up the guts every time.

Guys, The Tigers came in with a larger offer last Friday - deadline has been moved back until this Thursday.

 

[aids]

would rather they use the money to keep head at the moment, to be honest

 

[super_coach]

How about we give his money to Hogo and talk him out of heading to ESL. Although I get sick of seeing poor Hogo busting his guts while others are bludging, probably deserve a rest in ESL

So is he using his increased offer to jag a bigger deal from another club? f**k this Auction crap, let him go if he wants to.

All I know is what I posted above. That, and that apparently we are at reasonably shorts odds to sign him.

 

[Vicious]

What drugs are you blokes on ??? We`ll have a team full of pillows, that`ll make 40 tackles each, make plenty of hit ups, but never ever force a turnover because they wouldn`t knock the top off custard tart and never make a line break as they wouldn`t run out of sight on a dark night !!!
Get the goggles off and evaluate the game correctly for f*cks sake !!!

Apparently we wouldn't offer him a 3 year deal... which is a decision I can't quite fathom considering he carries our team most weeks.

I'm sure the recruitment manager has his reasons... :roll:

 

[Vicious]

Yep what we need is blokes so tough and so intimidating they throw it to Hodgo to take a hit up. f**k him

It`s quite simple, until we start showing some aggression and forcing turnovers, we won`t beat any decent side and we certainly won`t make the top 8. Now you openly critisize Tim Sheens and on many aspect I would agree with you, but you still don`t seem to understand the basic fundermental in that you need to hit, not just make a tackle because you have to !!! Have a look through the lsit of all the blokes that are so called top defenders because they make plenty of tackles. They all hit like androtop*ots and half the reason they make plenty of tackles is because the attacking players love running at them !!!

 

[sober_siddhi]

That's a real f**king shame
He's showed his hand that money is his motivation
He's a lazy prick and that's when he's after a new contract
Imagine how sh*t and lazy he'd be with the surety of 3 years under his wing

I think you'll find he is in a similar situation to what Heighno was. We can cast aspersions about his motivations, but it looks like he is likely to take a similar sort of pay cut to stay with us. Time will tell whether he was worth hanging on to or not.

Our initial offer was probably a pittance and I don't blame the guy for wanting to find out what he is really worth.

 

[Vicious]

Heighno had every right to get a good contract.
Have a look at his yardage and workrate
Our best forward and one of the top forwards in the NRL
Te'o is a bludging upstart who makes 50m a game and throws the ball to his 70kg fullback to take a hit up

Why cant your man Heighno make one decent hit and put a bit of fear into the opposition rather than just continue being a powederpuff defender ???

Probably because he's too busy making 135 metres a game, unlike Mr 63.

I'm not debating that (for the most part), but the reality is he's worth what the market is willing to pay (that's why you won't find Morris asking for a release any time soon).

For what it's worth, he defends where Royce tells him to.
