You definately are Curly. Hope your vibes come true. For all of us.

 

[851]

Cause maybe their still green a little. Did that ever cross your mind?

Yeah the proven 200 gamer Brooks was a masterstroke, why change that game plan

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Love it 851. Manly have. Thanks for the laugh . Honestly. I forgot all about Brooks. Sezer is not Brooks though.

WT definitely made an approach and Cowboys were looking to move either Luch or Luki in order to free up cap space to keep him. That's where the talk of Twal being free to look elsewhere came from, to make space on the roster. Announcing Twal was now definitely staying most likely meant Finefuiaki was staying put.
Don't know what's happening with Luch and Luki though.

Apparently a club said they will take luch full salary and payten said NO.

Sorry guys, I just finished a 3 day brothel crawl, so what did ivan say about luai ???

Did you get chlamydia? If you didn't, you didn't try hard enough.

 

[Spidercam]

Do either of those two have a kicking game of note? I think that is probably Sezer’s most attractive attribute.

When was the last time WT had a decent kicking game, Princey in 07 is my memory…

Lui and Head went alright.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Matthew Head. But not good enough for Sheens. We took Danny Galea instead.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

I’m always an optimist and I’m hopeful Bud will become our JT
I get similar vibes of JT heading to the Cows post a few seasons and flashes at the Dogs

I hope you are right. We are due for some good luck! Also Flanno got rid of him for his son

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

So did Ivan for Nathan. Dumped us in a heartbeat.

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Which club?

He is worth 450k at best and is not a 80min player

Not sure, brent read didn't mention. Saints would be my guess.

We could simply move someone else on instead of Twal....

Big call…
I’d almost get the farm we won’t see another JT anytime soon…
What he did in the game had little to do with his skillset - it was sheer will…
Incredible human.

True, he was very special
So sad his hairdo was permanently effected by wearing that headgear for so many seasons 🤡

Agree. The big thing about JT is he built a team. He didn't go jumping on the bandwagon of good teams, like a cooper cronk. He achieved a level way beyond that.

I hope he's made an immortal before any other half that played in the last 20 years.

 

[The Chad]

I'd love Bud to become the next JT, but honestly- watching him play- he is so reminiscent of Darrell "Tricky" Trindell in the way he plays.

If that is the level we get from him- I'm good with that. When you watch us attack the try line, we lack that player that makes the defence stand back & wait. Yes, we need an organisor (Sezar followed by Fainu I expect), but we need that guy that is 'at you' making teams worry about what is coming. Between Api & Sezar/Fainu- the Tigers have direction. None of those guys have the 'dazzle play' that Sullivan injects though.

If he starts at 5/8 next year, I'll go on record & say he is likely our top try scorer.

Just a few stats I was talking about in regards to our edge backrowers Bateman 20 games 2 line breaks 32 off loads 94.6 tackle rate ice 23 games 3 linebreaks 20 offloads 93.2 tackle rate blore 15 games 4 linebreaks 25 offloads 95.9 tackle rate make of these your own opinions but I believe letting blore go is a major mistake

That a motivated player.

I don’t see the similarity? Thurston signed with Bulldogs for no pay (Work experience type of contract) when other clubs refused to take him on, yes even at no cost. OTOH, Sullivan signs with WT for $550k. Thurston was never going home to mum without success.
I’m not getting excited by Sullivan until I see proof.
