The Rumours Thread

[The Predictor]

Thanks but our props are Jack de Belin and Blake Lawrie. JDB isn't really a prop and Lawrie isn't running over anyone.Isn’t he a little fitter this year, Lawrie?

Lawrie has an ineffective running style. He shuffles around like a geisha and is easy to knock over.

But we do have Guler now and he might turn out okay.

Even 450k is slight overs for Hazleton. Bloke scores a couple of tries as a front rower and turns into a bit of a cult figure and suddenly we're undercutting him with that offer? Not at all. Hazleton isn't that good and in all honesty for what he offers 375-400k is about what his actual value is. He doesn't defend particularly well, especially on the goal line, and doesn't provide good quality for long minutes. Upgrade on Lawrie easily, but in terms of our top 17, he's an upgrade on Eisenhuth and that's about it. You could argue he's better than Sele simply on availability alone, but if Hame is available, he's the better player. Wouldn't be paying anywhere over 450k for this bloke, 600k is absolutely laughable, and if anyone does pay that then good luck to them

I trust Flanno to sign Hazelton at the right price. With Hazelton, I believe we have a good prop rotation with a mix of experienced and junior players.

I am looking forward to seeing the young guys stepping up in 2025.

Guler and Hazleton in 2026 will at least give us the size we need in the middle.

Yes, we have:
Hazelton
Guler
R Couchman
T Couchman
Tonga
Fifita

It is a great lineup that I look forward to seeing in action.

We don't need F Molo, Lawrie, and Rava. Send them on their way.

he's worth whatever a club is prepared to pay.

Fifita should not be on that list
