Burton is a class player who could play anywhere, AD is a nice guy but not top shelf. If this club wants to rise above the ashes it must get tough, and pass on our below par players,.
Is Nofo off to Parramatta ?To'a for Nofoaluma - better defence and some speed
Tamou is like Brooks.... odd parallel, though hear me out.This should be Tamou's last year with us. He's playing alright for the moment but won't be able to maintain this level for another season. We can't count on him being effective week to week.
The extra roster spot is more valuable.
Well, his statistics wouldnāt be near Brooks because Madden hasnāt been afforded the opportunity to play on big dollars and be lame for 9 years. š¤He statistically takes on the line about half as muck as Brooks, and breaks less tackles. Heās nowhere near the threat running the ball Brooks is.
If youāre going to make an argument for him at least argue something thatās close to being true š¤·āāļø
My jaw dropped when I saw Garner had 17 runs last nightā¦.that is the effort weāve been waiting from him for a long time.Still too passive in games for me. Scoring a few tries and running some good lines, on occasion, is not enough workload. Yesterday was one of Garner's better performances, including some dirty carries, but we've had Garner on the books for 5 years now and we are still waiting for him to cement his position in the side.
Being overtaken by Kelma during the pre-season, prior to the Panthers deal, was not a good sign for Garner.
That's not saying I don't like the guy and would not keep him, much like I appreciated Momirovski or Eisenhuth, but I would certainly not get into a bidding war for Garner. Garner is a good addition for an established side, which Penrith are and Tigers are not.
Can see brooks getting quite a pay cut then itād be up to him if he stays loyal. We could probably afford to lose one of Madden / Brooks but losing both would be bad businessNot at minimum wage, but certainty not at the overs we are paying Brooks.
Fair enough, happy to be corrected but I am sure I saw that somewhere.Where did the Ben Gardiner moving on come from ? I know some of his family and they say itās news to them , i would be interested in the source to this
Won't need Simpkins on bench. API can play 80.People mentioning we need a few more signings but the way I see it we're looking pretty good for 2023 with the signings we have (if all fit and uninjured).
Ofanengaue has been great at lock. May need to replace Tamou but looks like we'll get one more year from him. Throw in Crichton and I think we're done.
2023 TEAM

RESERVES BACKS: Jock Madden, Starford Toa, Jnr Tupou, Peachy, Kepaoa, Fa'amanu Brown, etc.
Maybe need one more big middle forward but on paper, this team isn't too shabby. Or am I missing something?
Yeah Not sold on Hastings/Douhie. Both talented but think they won't work as.well.as.Hastings/Brooks. Brooks takes a.bavk seat and uses his speed more. It works.Can see brooks getting quite a pay cut then itād be up to him if he stays loyal. We could probably afford to lose one of Madden / Brooks but losing both would be bad business
Hastings / Brooks were developing nicely for anyone who has eyes but who partners Hastings for the future is still very much up for grabs imo ā¦ especially with Doueihi still coming back
Thing is you wouldn't need to give up a top 30 spot to keep Tamou on as a cultural/standard setter. An advisor/consultant position of some sort would keep him in and around the playing group without using up a roster spot. His current form is not sustainable long term.Tamou is like Brooks.... odd parallel, though hear me out.
Brooks cannot guide a team, in the same vein Tamou isnt a leader in the out-right sense.
Neither statement takes away from their quality.
Tamou cannot lead from the standpoint that he cannot drive the culture alone, but bet your bottom dollar, the guy can keep an exemplary record maintaining the culture, and setting the standard. I would eat a roster spot, just to drive home that what is being asked of the players isnt impossible, and to be a sounding post for the players before taking it to the next level.
Every chance Hastings / Doueihi could clash on the field calling for the ball. Same personalities on the field doesnāt always equal the best resultsYeah Not sold on Hastings/Douhie. Both talented but think they won't work as.well.as.Hastings/Brooks. Brooks takes a.bavk seat and uses his speed more. It works.
Out for 3 weeks with concussion hmmmmSome people are so gullible. Nofa is out for a few weeks with concussion and people believe he refuses to play with Hastings.
You understand how averages work right?Well, his statistics wouldnāt be near Brooks because Madden hasnāt been afforded the opportunity to play on big dollars and be lame for 9 years. š¤
As per your note, if youāre going to make an argument for him at least argue something thatās close to being true.
Arriba!
Maybe Papenhuyzen refused to play with Munster last year too.Out for 3 weeks with concussion hmmmm
Obvious troll is obvious.Out for 3 weeks with concussion hmmmm
