The Rumours Thread

[Inisai Toga]

Saw the same article this rumour is from, apparently Fifita will only be coming for the rest of the year and McGuire for this year and next

getting better..

 

[Maddragon99]

They could do with him right now.
FMD... What a half.

Not sure in the salary cap era there’s been such a divide between the bottom 4 & top 4 teams. Canterbury in particular spent heavily in the offseason, brought in Barrett & they can’t even score a try. We’ve got a lot to be thankful for. Hook has us playing well & we look like a top 8 team. Hope we hammer Newcastle tomorrow to really make a statement!

Geez there's some wild rumours doing the rounds at the moment, especially coming out of the Cowboys.

Rumour on Panthers forum that Billy Burns is headed for the Red V. I have serious doubts. Not our most reliable source.

Cowboys are a real basket case so far

Can’t see them improving

I can see a mass exodus of both players and coaching staff by seasons end.

Clune has played a total of 16 games in firsts, under McGregor.
I would like to see what he can do under Griffin.

He seems very composed to me.

My main worry is that it effects the team this week. We really need to give ourselves a good shot of winning tomorrow. Ideally it would be nice to win half the games while Hunt is out, minimum. The Knights are definitely more in the winnable category than some of the others like Rorters, Eels etc.

He fits the bill, been coached by Hook. Its getting silly, tbh I am actually pretty happy with what we have. I would still like to see what Ford can offer under Hook with an extended run.

The team are professional mate they’ll all be going for the win tomorrow.

As for all the trade rumours I think Hook sees us being a top 8 team this year so he’s willing to shift a player or two if it’s going to improve our chances. Remember he’s only on a 2yr deal. Tick tock

I think it’s a certainty that we’ll sign a quality 2nd rower but I’d prefer someone more established, like Luke Capewell

Maybe a chance if you relocate to Queensland.

Why would anyone move away from Wollongong?

I’m not talking about the whole team just Clune himself. I personally if given the choice to only have say Fifita but keep Clune I’d go that way. In saying that if McGuire comes I would be more than happy to have him. I think they are waiting for JDB decision tbh. If both McGuire and Fifita come, who misses out? Obviously Merrin but Poasa or Alvaro? We also have to fit in Molo next season not to mention have some solid depth in Ellis and Blacker (one day maybe)

In my opinion the Fifita rumours are bogus he’s a washed up has been. Particularly now McGuire is potentially in the mix he’s a much better fit at 13 & brings the mongrel we need. Fuimaono can come off the bench & play either lock or 2nd row.

tell us more

 

[Maddragon99]

tell us more

Signing an experienced proven coach is looking genius right now. Not sure what’s going on at Manly, but the Barrett, Walters & Peyten experiments are looking pretty pretty cook at the moment.

 

[Lindsay Moss]

Looks like all the ageing, once great props are all being shopped around,
- Fifita.
- McGuire.
- Napa.
- Taupau.
- Woods (off contract).
Any of the above top 4 could move over the coming weeks.
Decisions.
Has the modern game changed so much that these warriors are now “once were Warriors”.

 

[Lindsay Moss]

I would take Taupau any day

Jake Friend from the Roosters stood down indefinitely for 3 concussions this year. Boyd Cordner already stood down for concussions. Roosters are very vulnerable for ANZAC Day & probably for this season. Melbourne’s form a bit hot & cold I think there’s a changing of the guard. Penrith & Canberra looking good with Parra that leaves one top four spot. Go you mighty Dragons it’s time to step up and be where we belong.

Melbourne lot more hot than cold
You have left Souths out of your top guns
I’d be happy this year if we scrape in 8th
Roosters will still make the 8

Honestly I think we belong anywhere from 7th to 12th. Top 4 is getting ahead of ourselves
