He’s playing for a contract in 23.

Don’t stress it’s not Luke !
He isn’t a star ⭐️

I have a good source that Benny Barba is not being looked at and will never be at the club....


My source: common-sense 😝

Yeh he certainly is a liability. What about Bentley.

Such a shame that Barba was such a grub off the field. He would've been a great footballer to watch and follow through a career if he had one.

Bentley would add more aggression but there is too much talk off his ill discipline being too much of a concern.

I was thinking of a Bentley Bateman pommy connection.
Reports are he's a bit of a gun, loves being headbutted too 😉

Are we going to make Manu the highest paid FB in the game?

Hes not off contract for 3 years.

I would throw the kitchen sink at him. He's just a superstar wherever you play him.

Ive been asking the question for 2 years hahahaha.
I thought he was contracted to chooks for 23 and 24? Or we could sign him for 25? Some risk in that though. So why arent we offering a similar deal to Suaalii? I realise recruitment is a tough gig atm particularly with Dolphins creating extra competition, however, we have only signed Smith, Staines and Klemmer and we're almost into December?

From memory, the Warriors offered him around a mill a few years ago, to replace RTS. He knocked them back for half that at the Roosters...wink wink nudge nudge.

Is this confirmed??

Dragons sign Musgrove and release Burgess

St George Illawarra have secured the services of Wests Tigers forward Zane Musgrove ahead of the Dragons' 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership campaign.

Are you suggesting something's fallen through here?..

 

[TurnStyle]

This is very true.
His positional play and defence is terrible

It's exactly right. So many times after a try I'd look for where he was and it wasn't where he should have been. Rather, ambling along 30cm behind the defensive line following a dribbled kick in goal try.

He is also too small and tries to stop someone by wrapping the ball up when a bit of technique tackling around the thighs would bring the big guys down before the line.

I'm not singling him out for any particular reason. It's just that I played fullback and was only about 10kgs bigger than him in those days - actually, I'm still about that size 20 years later; it's just in different parts of me! 🤣

Although he was special, my expectation for Laurie is to aim to become Hodgo 2.0.

I've said it before, but he is just not up to it.

Can anyone truly see him at the back in a finals line up? Let alone a top side of the comp. Imo he should fall into the category of one of the aforementioned "tough decisions" to be made.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Is it rude to take them all?

Apparently not if you're the bulldogs?

 

[liltiger]

I have only posted 4 announcements, way before the media or anyone else here. 3 of them have happened and been verified by the media and/or the Pom. Turned out to be wrong about Perham. I have never posted that I player that left two months ago is thinking of trying to get out.

Please point out the info Ive posted that is guaranteed way off the mark?

When you.posted a txt message between Sheens and Anasta claiming they were working to undermine potter and bring the club down about 8 - 9 years ago.

I think he'll feature in the second row. Even if we do sign Bateman we have Papali'i and Blore and that's about it (got Saukuru and Tumeth coming through too but they're green as.) IMO I'd rather see us take a punt with him there than have Seyfarth line up in the second row again.

 

[dazza65]

My guess, he is fine. He decided to get married so he knows what’s he’s doing 😀

Does he? lol

Not that he can play until after r10.. Justin Matamua plays both 2nd row and lock.

Based on his performance last season, he shall line up for the Centerlink.

Yeah, he wasn't anything special to begin with but he's gone backwards at a pretty rapid rate.
