Can someone explain the love for Tumeth?

I know he’s still a kid but he’s like a smaller version of Seyfarth from what I’ve seen of him play.

Not dynamic… bit of a plodder and pretty small-ish.

Anyone shed any light?

Im yet to see the hype either. Ill keep looking hoping its there.

I certainly can talk - at length - about the litany of blunders Tim Sheens made in his many years in the UK. Quite frankly, some of his signings were lunacy and it took Tony Smith (a far better coach, IMO) a fair amount of time to repair the mess he left at Hull KR.

This is a great read isn't it. He is doing pretty well here now.

He just got smashed in that trial. Maybe he'll come good but that wasn't a good look.

Honestly, this is so common with the majority of our juniors. All hype for nothing.

Did anyone hear Corey Parker on SEN this afternoon saying something like the Moses deal is not done and Benji is still in contact with him ?? Anyone hear this.

Don't want that little tanking grub here, but there would be one upside if we got him for 2024 and that would be seeing him squirm and cop crap off those Parra-site supporters for the whole of the 2023 season.

Would surely guarantee that the River Snakes would end up a major train wreck for this season and hopefully many more to come.

What hype is there? Most of our backrowers coming through have been hyped more than him.

All I see is a local junior who is having his first year out of age group footy who may or may not make it as an NRL regular.

I'm surprised no one is taking a deeper look at the Roosters. There are too many career-ending injuries at that place for it to be a coincidence. Or maybe they're all just playing harder than everyone else.

First and foremost I support Liverpool. (St. Helens a close second) 99.43% of Liverpool fans don't even know you exist. The rest think you play in South America, or Antarctica or some other far flung part of the world where no one visits. I'm the best friend you have up there. 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha - I'm a sheep who likes soccer more than league....

Peabrain!

John Monie won how many titles with Parra? And yet in his final years at Wigan they couldn't shove him out the door quick enough.

He only won 1 premiership with Parra in 1986!!

Get your facts right!

He then went to Wigan and won a ton of trophies. They were easily the best team on the planet at the time largely because they were the only full time team on the planet. After that he went to Auckland - disaster. Returned to Wigan - bigger disaster. Coaches have a shelf-life - whether it be rugby, football, gridiron, whatever. When it's hot it's hot. And when it goes sideways you very rarely come back. In his final two stints in England Sheens took Hull KR up from the second division, won some games, lost even more games, made a ton of very dubious signings (Adam Quinlan was his playmaking fullback ... Adam Quinlan!), the team's form collapsed, he lost the dressing room and they ran him out the door. He then went to Widnes and was kicked out before he'd even taken off his coat. If Sheens had been all that he would have been snapped up by one of the bigger teams (like a Tony Smith or an Ian Watson). No one was interested in hiring him - beyond Widnes. No one.

Ian Watson and Tony Smith...... bahahahahaha!

Those turds wouldn't get a run in the NRL!

Chooks have a ageing roster and play a physical style of football

Makes alot more meters than Seyfarth with less ball carrys, says it all really.

He also drove a bloke back in goal from 5m out to get us a drop out.

Lol.

So many other juniors have impressed. Thought I was missing something. There’s big raps on him bc he played NSW.

James in the weekend was far more impressive and I’d never heard of him.

I’ll keep looking and hoping too

And your point is ? Deliberate, drugs, cappuccinos, seafood and fine wine ?
Come on R, spit it out ?

When you reach 50 all that remains is bitterness and cynicism. 😊

Omg, I’m 70s, what happens then ?
Dementia and grumpy old man syndrome ?

What was the question again, you young p…k🤣🤣

They're different ages, playing different positions, for different minutes and are a very different style of player.

Tumeth may not have stood out as of yet, but it's not really an adequate comparison.

Robbo has mentioned it before I think it was on NRL 360. He has a philosophy that teams can only be competitive in Cycles, roughly every 4 years there needs to be a roster turn over to ensure the Roosters remain a top club consistently. Go back and look at their results since he first started coaching in 2013 and you will be surprised how true that is with the roosters. Last year was the year where Robbo wouldn’t of expected the Roosters to be one of the top sides as they had 5 retirements the year prior, some aging legs remaining in the side and a lot of youth getting more and more game time. Reminds me a lot like their 2016 campaign.
This year they will build off the back of a mini rebuild last year and be top 4 again.
I wonder if Ivan is thinking the same. It’s been 4 years since a less than successful 2019 campaign for the Panthers and a lot of roster movement over the past two years. Won’t surprise me if the roosters leap them on the table.

I think his implying that they manage the in’s and outs of their cap through strategic retirements.

There's practically no hype, he's a fair way of first grade but was one of our top prospects so it's good to have him locked in.

He's a lot more aggressive than Seyfarth, with just as much compete, and runs a much better line, harder than Seyfarth ever does. A bit more versatile too.
