"The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Panthers have begun talks with Madden and are hoping to lure him to Penrith as Sean O’Sullivan’s replacement."

Madden would be crazy not to jump at the opportunity imo

He ain't playing first grade there either

Why would he want to go to Penrith ?
To play 3 FG games a year when he could possibly get more at the tigers

It makes me think that the DT are full of themselves when they precede all their so called scoops by stating..."The Daily Telegraph can reveal...."
It sounds like they are all flashers 🤣
I don't like the DT mainly because they are a subscription service. 😉

I think Laurie has said to the club that he will leave the club if we play him as a five eight or halfback

When did he say this ? I never heard of that , this is a bloke we took from reserve grade at Panthers where he wouldn’t remove Edwards in top grade , i would say he would be happy to play anywhere in First Grade

Nofoaluma was interviewed on Ch9 and the reporter asked the questions if he wanted to go home/or stay in Melbourne. He had a huge grin on his face and said no comment.

I remember Harry Grant making a similar comment while he was here. Wish that one turned out differently.

“I’m close with Benji but I’m very happy at the Roosters. Robbo also signed on for another five years this year, and that’s a big factor for me. He’s the best coach I’ve ever had. I can’t thank him enough for not only what he does for my game and confidence on the field, but how he has helped me as a leader off the field.”

It’s what Tedesco doesn’t say is what’s important. Let me translate. Translation is in brackets- I m close with Benji but I’m very happy at the Roosters ( with all the money they give me under that table) .
Robbo has signed on for another 5 years, & that’s a big factor for me ( cause it means my 850k contract is really 1.5mil so I’ll end up with another 3.5 in my secret share account held in a bogus name) .Robbo is the best coach ( meal ticket I’ve ever had) .
I can’t thank he enough for not only what he does for my game & the confidence on the field( as the club pays well for all the penalties & 50/60 calls ) but how he Has helped me be come a leader off the field( as I can now show all the young guys how to successfully hide the extra cash we get)!

Tedesco open to positional move to keep all-star band together

As he brings up 200 NRL games, James Tedesco is aware of Joey Manu and Joseph Suaalii’s fullback aspirations – and how he thinks it could eventually work.

I've always loved Nofa. No matter what people say he has always put in on the field. Unfortunately it sounds like he is pretty unprofessional off the field and is another example. So many other things he could say.

Only the Roosters could possibly have 3 of the top fullback options in the competition, and stuff 2 of those options into unfavoured positions like wing.

Joey Manu would explode given constant and regular responsibility at another club.

Nofo last of the media whisperers

 

[Nadz4483]

No

I don't think he is coming back.

wouldnt be surprised if part of the deal with storm was that they took on the remainder of his contract

 

[tony soprano]

Our problem is we're paying marquee money and we do not have any marquee players.

We got money to spend though.

Make him quit and forfeit his salary if he doesn't make him play for Tigers.

Bahahaha

Dean Hawkins has an outstanding kicking game for a 4 game rookie. I would be getting him across quickly of Madden leaves. Perfect back up half and may just be a genuine first grader of the future. His passing game looks better the Ilias as well.

Best thing Madden did last week was that massive 40/20, it went up so high O thought it was another crap mod field bomb.

Was such a surprise to see a kick like that from one of ours. For mine he is lacking something still, but it would be good to have a proper kicking game and a half with potential so I don't mind your idea at all.

Honestly I know Benji and Sheens will want to play touch footy, but Doueihi doesn't pass short and seems to only realise he's playing in the 41st minute,
Hastings has ticker but looks as agile as an excavator trying to catch a chicken and Brooks looks like the chicken, sans head. Our best bet is one or two explosive forwards with the Ute, with Api getting them over the advantage line, supplemented by the solid workers we already have in Offa and Twal, with a solid spine. A stronger long kicking game would support this.

I feel like the expansive game we are trying to play doesn't suit our spines natural strengths, which are run, run, run with the odd torpedo bomb. We also lack the speed we need to go the length, and in our glory days we went the length at will, and if anything struggled inside the 20.

I feel a bit of hope because I think we are weeding out the soft tankers behind the scenes, but in general I'm still at the bottom of the curve regarding our prospects.

Does anyone know of any edge backrowers we can realistically get that would impact our team positively.

We have IP but I think we desperately need another one.
