Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Isn't the job of the halves (this included Doueihi as well, not just Brooks,) to execute and get the boys over the stripe? Neither of them are doing enough. We are getting plenty of field position so the forwards are doing their jobs.

Unfortunately it's true. I love Laurie's heart but he just isn't big enough and just a step too slow , especially when he tries to chime into the backline. Why have all but one or 2 forwards started running soft and handbrake at the line ? I find myself screaming for just some basic skills.I think on a whole we've got the cattle,bar maybe 1 or 2.Hard running and any sort of decent hole running and we'd be 2-0.

put wakeham in win a few games then put brooks to bed

Could Mitchell Pearce have something left in his tank to come and steer us around the park ?
His leadership and half decent kicking game would surely help us in the predicament we are currently in.

Unfortunately he wants to play second fiddle at Melbourne for the next few years. Only recently extended his stay at the Storm (after Munster re-signed).

Managed by Braith as well.
Go figure.

Okunbor? Not getting time for the dogs, was brilliant for them in their run to NSW cup final last year, hes an aerial threat and can even play second row if needed, has great hands and speed for a big fella.

Either give Moses a deadline and move on . Here’s my play , deadline take it or not , if he knocks us back then go to England and offer Dodd and welsby contracts , the super league has a cap of about 2.2 million pounds that’s about $6,000,000 , offer Dodd $550,000 and welsby $ 700,000 that’s still less than what we offered Moses , yes we will be up for a fee about $500,000 if we can pay it , I say getting two players in two positions we need is a better option, what do u all think

Why would they want to leave the World Club Champions for us??!

 

[Barry Mack]

We have we enough average Joe’s thanks

Hes better than Nofa?? Okunbor is a star in the making, whens the last time we had a winger that big with his aerial threat and big metres from the back?

 

[Barry Mack]

Hopefully Maumalo comes back fit. No to Okunbor there’s a reason he’s in reserve grade.

He wasnt today, played first grade last week also

 

[Barry Mack]

4 mins in 2 weeks 😂

More productive in 4 mins than Nofa in a game and a half

 

[Barry Mack]

Okunbor a star in the making? surely you are taking the piss 😂😂

No why??

Suspended.

Only one week, so he’ll be back this week.

I like to imagine Barry Mack is Tacky's new user name. I feel like he must have followed Chee Kam out the door and comes back to troll us about Okunbur every 6 months.

I dont get why this is a bad signing, tell me his weaknesses? I dont see any

For starters none of the juniors will resign when he starts sniffing around their girlfriends starting up the lawn mower.

Jayden Okunbor "star in the making"

Maybe in sex offender circles, definitely not in rugby league.

I'm not losing hope for this year, not discounting how awful the team has been through these first 3 rounds, but the forward pack has actually been very solid.
We are not seeing teams just roll through the middle with ease as we have in the past couple years. Seeing some real sting in defence and a bit of controlled aggression that's been missing for a long time. And they are making good meters with ball in hand, getting good PTB speed in the process.
Easy to see the 1,6,7 combination is the problem.
All the strike players were on the left but every sweep play went right yesterday. Up and under kicks to Toa/Nofa's wing when you have Tupou and Naden on the other side just boils my brain.
Let's hope they can take some momentum from the last 20min of that game into next week. I'm not sure what the solution is, but I don't think we are as far off as some think.
