Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I hope he is. But the expectations of a second rower in league and Union are so different. League second rowers aren’t tall enough to play league. League second rowers are more athletic than Union second rowers.

Brad Thorne is the exception to the rule and in my opinion is the most successful dual international of all time. Reason being he played in the second row in both games and what he achieved.

Hopefully this bloke is Brad Thorne MkII

One of the best, and the hardest RU forwards, was Kevin Ryan. I spoke to payers who played against him, and they all said-- frightening ! EX heavyweight boxer,and SAINTS enforcer.

Thanks bro. Much appreciated!

Benny the gift that keeps on giving, Blocker should knock him out

Haven't seen him other than in a single pre-season photo, but immediately thought that this guy looks like a footballer and fast. Seems that my first impression, albeit simply from a photo, was fairly accurate.

Will send you my photo, can you please say some nice things. Never been an athlete except for run up to the beer fridge and back.

Maybe upgrade on Seyfarth?

There would be Forum members who would be an upgrade on Seyfarth

Maybe an omen.

Hope you nudged that sucker out of the way and then gave a bird as you went past

No doubt he’s a loss but they are perfectly set up for a young talent like Soni Luke to come in, with solid player Mitch Kenny as a mentor. Hard to see them falling out of the top 2-4.

Context.
Mitch Kenny is 24
Soni Luke is 26

Interesting trivia off topic. The crowd when Parra won their first comp was 57333. Turn that upside down.

Not flipping my phone around for parra or their supporters. But I think it would read losers if I flipped that number

Is seyfarth the new dartboard ?

Luke Brooks is on leave so target has shifted

Removalist Van Ink ??

 

[innsaneink]

Eh?

At last we know who is responsible.

That said, why on earth would we keep going with that Jnr grade coaches decision.

I dunno, my only criticism of Brooks is that he has seemed to lose the ability to strike the ball long distances.
His play style hasn’t changed a whole heap since high school though he and Moses created a lot of attention for what they do in broken play not in structured play. To me that’s where they have both failed to rise to the top. Even Moses has a lack of arsenal when his team isn’t rolling agaisnt a sound defensive unit.

Beat me to it.

Cheers.
I guess that’s why the younger local boys haven’t been placed on Dev Contracts given the difference between the two contract structures.
Do we know if they a season long T&Ts or just off season T&Ts?

Fair assessment this.

I do feel though, that MM is capable of breaking a game open with something out of nothing. I'd sure as hell prefer the ball to be in his hands on a 5th tackle or in clutch moments. If it meant a kick, we'd know it will get past the shins of opposition defenders.

Doesn't read like your chances are good.
