Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lack of pace, was one of the biggest problems.

Who's slow?

Rothfield was Sheens best mate not so long ago - championed him for coach.

Hastings , AD, Gildart, Big ken, were not in the same speed zone, as their opposites.

Cameron Smith - also referee

Wally Lewis was the last captain coach Seagulls and Wynnum Manly before he signed with Brisbane .....

🤣🤣🤣

Our record is abysmal.

Leichhardt is still our most successful ground

Whats is our overall win percentage now .....38% lol at a guess

Exactly .. i believe we use Big Ken incorrectly .. with his size he should be used the same way we used Taniela Tuiaki (aka the Tank .. or TNT) .. hit the line out wide (wing) 10 meters out as hard you can .. and just run over the top (kiwi side step) of your opposing winger .. !!

Top teams have speed to burn in the halves, eg" Lui, Munster, Hynes, Moses, Brown, Walker, Hunt, DCE etc. Some don't believe there is a correlation between speed and performance, maybe iT's just luck that the top sides, have the quickest halves.!

Yep, I was referring to Brooks and Laurie half combo

Me ...anyone else ??

Laurie might do the job, but to throw him into the halves in the top side strait up , is a big ask.
Maybe off the bench, till he gets some experience.

He played lots of 5/8 in the lower grades

8th wonder of the world Leichhardt Oval

That saying drives me nuts, just like souths the pride of the league

I think it's the best way to get our key players on the field. If AD is moved to centre through, I doubt we will have him beyond this year. He'll want the opportunity to pay 5/8th.

1. Staines
4. AD
6. Laurie
7. Brooks

Ken is quality.

Top finisher ,scores off bombs saves tries, even on 1 leg.

A good acquisition from Madge.

He is a weapon.

Is this good enough though. Do any of those players demand a spot in a top team ? Is Doueihi really going to be a good centre ? He isn't the quickest guy.

He’s got a great short kicking game close to the line.

 

[upthetigers]

If AD is going to have a hissy fit because he doesn't get to play his preferred position he can piss right off.

He's looked good there when he's played. Plus, having him on the field gives us an ability to carry 4 forwards on the bench. Less need for a utility who can jump into the spine.

Agree. No desire to carry people who aren't team players. The majority of commentators have suggested centre is his position

Good to see you out here bro haha,
he's quick and powerful. Will make a very decent half I truly believe.
Center talk is crazy, I think Kepaoa
And Nado will lock the sides down,
Maybe Tommy too depending on
how he comes back to full fitness
