Hope nofo recovers quickly and is back playing for us soon must be killing him not being out there but concussions are no joke we have seen with players like papenhauzen last year the effects stay mentally for awhile

I have no problem with Lodge joining us as he made mistakes and seems to learned from them..
Take away the off field stuff he is a very good football player and not afraid of doing the hard yards, He would also add the aggression we lack plus would not be on the 700-800k he has been on..

Off field stuff seems to be in check he volunteers alot in the community and is trying to be a better bloke

Lodge - Manly
Taupau - Dogs
Thompson - WT?

Also.... Why was Freddie there? Surely Gus isn't going to bring him in as coach? 😂

He was lost

He was lost

He was earthing

Exactly, hard to police stupidity on the internet tho I guess.

But perhaps mods can monitor unsubstantiated hurtful Rumours by deleting before they catch on as they are hurtful to the club and player.

Hard enough keeping

Spammers away
Inappropriate Language
Trolling
personal attacks in check.

Round for the mods trying to keep everything in check

Hopefully it gets sorted out soon

Weren't you one of the insiders who initially claimed that there was issues between Nofo and Hastings? Why are you now backtracking?

Heard it at the footy around the ground. Jacko came out and killed it now we know what's really happening all we can do is hope nofo recovers well

I haven't posted much the last week.
Mods could have gone to Bali on hols

It's good he is backtracking. That is what you are meant to do when you get better information. He has also noted that he got it wrong.

Any truth to the rumour that nofo needed 10 stitches in his mouth from a night out at a very exotic club in Penrith. Apparently some beads flew out faster than expected and .........

Again I think Madden deserves a contract if for depth alone.

The problem is that it's gone well beyond this point. Madden wants a starting 7 role and personally I think he is up it. I also think other clubs will have noticed his good form.

I think we let him go unless we can somehow keep him as back-up but it's a loss.

We may have to lose another half as well. That means we may lose Brooks or Doueihi.

I can't see us keeping all 4 halves we have on our books.

Brooks and Doueihi are probably more versatile than Madden. Hastings to me gets the 7 spot.

Even with Hastings, Doueihi and Brooks available it's hard to know where you play them.

Would you put brooks at 13 ?

I hadn't read the previous pages were he admitted he got it wrong, that's fair enough. I was just simply confused as I was remembering clearly that he was one who claimed that there were issues between the players and yet he was now saying there wasn't

 

[earl]

I can't see any of them going to 13 and it working. Put it this way Joe O has been great there and he can't play 80 minutes at all let alone consistently. He is a much bigger body than those 3 players.

I don't know how you handle the current situation. I honestly think AD and Hastings are our best halves pairing but Brooks is consistently one of our better players.

Moving AD to centre seems the smart approach and maybe we should try that for a while.

Someone asked if there was behavioural issues I stated that there were issues between the two (which I heard around LO on Friday night going around the stadium) jacko has since come out and killed it stating that's the furtherest thing from the truth I should not have posted anything at all especially after hearing it at a ground where most were 50 beers deep. Back to signings and suggestions

 

[getagrip]

Can see Lodge being signed. Maybe just for the rest of 2022 before he joins uncle Wayne

If its just for the 2022 season I don't like it. Could go into cruise control. Wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Lee's fedora]

Jack bird expected to sign off on his dragons deal in the next 48 hrs for some reason he got cold feet but they gave him a mega huge deal

 

[SeanT]

Isn't he in French rugby?

Who cares, he liked the West's tigers page once so he's definately coming... 🤔😂
