Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Needaname]

You ask any champion footballer about moving from the halves to lock .....Parra tried it with Brett Kenny ...Brisbane tried it with Wally Lewis ......the extra workload as you get older on smaller footballers is so tough ...and locks now have to work so much harder in defence and are expected to make 35 + tackles a game ...your just shortening your career ...and shortening your potential pay day ...and lessening your yearly pay check ...GM says " hey mate you aren't a half anymore ...your a backrower ..and then you missed 6 games through collision type injuries ...we are reducing your pay check by 20% " .....

You have to be a certain type of person of a certain type of mindset to want to play in the forwards. If you prefer the softer half of the game it ain’t for you.

Especially now ...back in their day you could play in that cover defending lock role

And in that 12 months he should spent most of his time apologising to us the fans for throwing in the captaincy and losing respect along with destroying his career

To be honest I think he genuinely regrets the circumstances of his exit.

As a very old back can I substitute the word skilful for softer please !

I’m sure he does but absolutely no reason to bring him back imo.
Unless, as somebody said a few days ago, his old buddy Klemmer is pushing for one last contract for his mate,as part of his proposed signing.
Unlikely but possible.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the rehab process.

You have oversimplified it for absolutely no reason. They shan't have 'just got him to do some exercises'. Depending on the stage of rehab, intro plyos and landing mechanics testing are fundamental components of the return to play process. Also, with Doueihi, if an ACL is suspected as 'possible or probable', he's immediately off the field. People have finished games with ruptured ACLs.

This was a ridiculous comment about 2 situations you have absolutely no idea about.

Very silly, Happy.

No idea .....I ended up playing 12 months of touch football with a ruptured ACL .....One of the most fun moments of my life when my 2nd Orthpaedic specialist looked at the scan from my first surgery and says " your ACL was gone before 1st surgery " and had a guarantee from surgeon No 1 that he would do the ACL if it needed doing ...... and said the ACL was fine

Seeing Douehi had previously done an ACL and probably knows what it is like I guess he probably had a clue ......and they replaced him immediately

He regrets it because he became a busted. If his career remotely resembled what it was when he was here he would never regret the way he treated the club.

At last ,someone realises the state this club was in, it was poorly run, Toxic , shambles, and has been a disgrace. Our best players left except Brooks , who probably will regret for the rest of his life. We can only hope Sheens can lift our team out of the ashes

Brooksy I don’t think was getting offers

 

[The-moP]

Ok …. so know this for certain. Must be true than.
Keeping you awake?
Thanks for letting us know.

u lost me bro ... wot drugs r u on .. ??

Too bad didn't have Roosters as an option

 

[mikey]

I'm all for history if it is good history ...good times at the WT's are almost Ancient History ...even beyond Modern History .....

We need a completely new game plan ...and we went back to Sheens ....Marshall .....Farah

I'd almost rather be hopping on the bus with Iv again lol

That'll be happening in 5 years no doubt.

 

[happy_tiger]

The Bus or Iv ...or both .....10 years and Iv will be seen as a Saint by many ...we seem to have short memories

I have to ask , is that your feeling of what you hope is the case, or do you have actual, reliable feedback of that fact ?

Mean veg plate.

Sweetest tea in the world at the end

It's really good. It's cheap as well.

I said I didn't want the tea but then I had it. It's good.

I just want to clarify that I don't do the tough stuff.

 

[Telltails]

Woods left a disaster of a club. Just because his career didn't advance any further, staying at Wests Tigers was never going to be a positive career move either. He would be copping the same crap that Brooks has for our consistent failure. I see no value in bringing him back now other than to have another playing to throw mud at..

Brooksy I don’t think was getting offers

I really doubt this. He appears to still be getting offers.
