Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Don't know how this one started but it's way off the mark...

Nofoaluma is a long serving player and also one of our local juniors. I'd have thought he deserves more respect.

 

[hank37w]

Yes, he is strong, isn't he ?
Reckon he could carry plenty of bags.
Apart from that . . . he's got mongrel, is a tough hard player, runs fearlessly and has an offload.
What is in the past is in the past.
I don't think there are any do-gooder flower weaving, volunteering at old folks homes forwards available right now.
We may as well let bygones be bygones and improve our team with Lodge.

Could also be the player we need that milks that penalty when the result is on the line.

Proven match winner.

 

[hank37w]

We didn't sack all them though. Wait. Did Moodie have 2 stints with us?

Good pick up.

I think he had a couple of years off in between the 2 stints to try other career opportunities or something like that.

Or could waste seconds and not get a penalty while the defensive line resets.

That was on the video ref for calling penalty. The on field ref didn't want a bar of it.

I don't want players that have to pretend to be hurt to get a penalty. Even if we lose.

I have a feeling M Lodge will replace him..

Recent events certainly point to that outcome. Everyone questioned why he would ask for an immediate release without a club to go to and next minute we have a top 30 spot for a prop.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Hope the Thompson talk is rubbish based on the way he is playing at the Bulldogs unless he comes on over for 300k or so a year. He is in terrible form atm. Would grab Lodge in an instant over him if we are looking for a prop.

Re Nofa. Tupou has talent but needs more time in reggies - his decision making is terrible and to have him picked over Nofa is just plain and simply dumb.

I agree.pathetic pawwa tactics are not wanted

 

[finnzo]

Could potentially be medically retired if things don’t get better

This is just complete speculation I have zero inside knowledge

 

[diedpretty]

8.30 on a Sunday night is a strange time to announce an immediate release.

Maybe to avoid the last minute rush to get the paperwork done for the release and the new signing and in to NRL prior to team announcements Tuesday.

The critcism of Noffa when he is out with a head injury is disgusting.

 

[Balmainian]

Rubbish , Hastings is way above madden , if he wasn’t there we would be a headlist chook . Let’s face it everyone is giving madden a gold pass only because they hate brooks and his pay cheque , it’s the clubs fault he is getting that money not brooks , and since he had moved to the 5/8 spot he has been terrific.

I never said anything about what sort of money he’s on, and Madden had a good game.
Are saying we shouldn’t talk about a players worth because a player you like hasn’t shown his worth for a long time until recently?

 

[Balmainian]

Brooks has done it more than a few times...
Not getting that result though, He usually gets bashed off the chase and we don't get the penalty.

Read it again, i said he’s played well recently!
And he has I’m acknowledging that, I’m not going sugar coat it and say he’s been a weapon for years because he hasn’t.
“He usually gets bashed if the chase”?????
Well take it as coincidence then, madden try’s it once and makes it.
Brooks try’s how ever many times you think and doesn’t get a penalty!

"Head injury"

 

[Geo]

What's the deal? Really concussion?

Yes..quite serious as well..

 

[426Tlgerland]

Don’t know who will replace Tommy before June 30
Thompson been average at dogs
Hetherington Out for the season at dogs
Lodge , maybe , already missed one game so who ever grabs him should be good to go this week , not sure tigers would be looking at him , by Tuesday arvo some one will have him

 

[diedpretty]

So Sheens is back in charge and yea!!! once again the mystery prop signing is in the frame. Gotta love the guy.

Swallowed some peroxide gel during teeth whitening.

😆

 

[rex2ce]

I prefer Tupou to Nofo sure he is greener than duck shit but you stick a solid centre next to him he can grow into a great threat

Let him do that in KOE cup, lousy defender

Don't need to - You said you'd never seen Brooks do it - I'm telling you he has...
Multiple times, And that it hasn't worked, Doesn't make anyone better than anyone.
It's not a coincidence,
Madden did it against he dogs (the worst team in the last couple years)
- And caught the worst Fullback in the game out of position.
Good for him!!
Good for those that discussed it as a possibility with Jock through the week
(As per post match tv)
