Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Fade.To.Black]

To add to your post, Shawn Blore did his ACL then basically apologised to the fans. Asked them to stick with him. What a stand-up guy.

Tedesco should take a few pointers from this bloke. A few years too late though.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

The best hooker ever to play the game…….bar none.

I'd have him behind Benny. Both great players but Benny had to win scrums and contested PTB's as well.

Perfect sign to be placed above the Morro toilets at LO.

"Let's go to Brown Town.....sorry folks the soap machine is down"

Who plays the 14 utility role? as I don’t see Api playing 80 minutes every game.

 

[hugh1954]

Brown is another Tamou signing taking up a space... Not for me

Jake Simpkin? He could be our Mitch Kenny, relieve lock and hooker

 

[Fade.To.Black]

What a conundrum. Suaalii comes across as a bit of a mercenary. I could see him going to European or Japanese Rugby for huge dollars for a few years and still being young enough to command big bucks back in the NRL.

Suualii has learnt his mercenary trade behind one of the best at it, The Turdburger.

Rua? Simpkin?

 

[SeanT]

Or Manu.....

Manu for sure

 

[Tito Santana]

Rua? Simpkin?

Rua,

Looks good.

He is getting forgotten about on.

 

[barnzee]

Rua,

Didn’t do much in the World Cup

Was mentioned a while back that the Nathan Brown signing would be also a player swap with Jake Simpkin .

Would make sense because the eels don’t have a backup dummy half to no knees Hodgson .

Jake has limited opportunities here

 

[liltiger]

Or Manu.....

I'd take either

There’s no way that I would ever help out Parramatta, they got a player that has bungee knees so they can suffer for offering unders to their better players.
Stuff Parra.

Sorry Ronnie, have to disagree. When I young fella stands up & is not lntimidated I call that mongrel.

All good Champ, the beautiful thing is we dont have to agree.
But respect your opinion and hope if he does come he proves me wrong.

I think that would be a shit trade and I hope they don't do it. There's no guarantee Rua or Talyn make it. Simpkin is still very young for a 9, was put in a bad spot and could still be anything. We know what Brown is and his kind can be bought.

 

[tony soprano]

Tigers going after Nathan brown does that mean they missed out on Bateman?

Nope

Brown was given the OK from the Slimes to seek options elsewhere. Why would there be a trade for a get outta Parramatta card?

 

[tigerballs]

Brown would be great and let’s face it, would be in our top 17.

Imagine having an older hard head like him off the bench? Delicious.

Nom nom nom.

Arriba!

Brown was cooked years ago and his toughness is a myth. 20 y.o. Blore belted him. I bet when he got into that fight at the pub with Hayne, the garbos they were fighting belted him too.

How can you say his toughness is a myth simply because Blore got a good shot on him?
Brown continued playing and got one back, never backed down, had a good tussle with the young bloke and most importantly, won the game. He also backed up and did the same week after week.
