Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bit worried about Miller... blokes apparently 130kg which is way too heavy & looked really poor in the SG ball game on the weekend where he got sin binned

There’s a list as long as the Nullarbor of big fellas who killed junior leagues and wound up working for the man.

Funny, Was Brooks fault we couldn't score points last year
- Now he's gone I'm reading we're light on in the backs and need to upgrade...
Lomax etc all being mentioned...

We've upgraded from last year, But we're still no good and won't score enough points
- But it was all the halfbacks fault...

Same could be said about Benji’s win % record, especially when you tried to compare his % to that of Smith/Slater…. Hmm. At least be consistent.

I really doubt that would have been Churchill. I heard exactly the same story but it was about a French fullback from the 1940s and 1950s, who was apparently a brilliant attacking player. His name was Puig Aubert.

Matty Johns tells the story well.

“If twelve of you can’t tackle the man, what hope do I have”

 

[Feline Carrier]

He played fullback, centre and 5/8.

I can just imagine my teammate saying it's not his job to make tackles.

I'm not talking about Doueihi. He was useless in defence and attack. I'm talking about Brooks. Couldn't give a shit if he could make a tackle, he couldn't set up a try to save his life.

 

[Feline Carrier]

Mate, who cares. Seriously.

Again, you do to continually reply to me?

David Morrow , brain cancer.

That is shit. Cancer sucks,

I just thought it was a weird hill to die on over such a benign post about something that happened seven years ago.

 

[Feline Carrier]

It absolutely does.

Be consistent mate if you're going to constantly lecture others.

No idea what you are talking about. You are welcome to an opinion though.

This will be a big test for him in regards to his attitude for his future as a player,hopefully he knuckles down and is doing what the coaches would be telling him

And was said he used to play and have the occasional smoke whilst playing.

Heard that too.

Fun fact. Nullarbor is Latin for "no trees."

Not correct. Null was Tom's brother.

Yes, a modest contract would be beneficial to
both parties, he is valuable despite what most
pundits on here seem to think. His 2 recos have
been with us, we could retire him God forbid...

Easily our best in 2021,and shld be encouraged by Billy Smiths return to the Roosters from his 3rd acl
But Smith came back fully firing...Douhi looked hesitant and avoiding contact last year
It's a wait and see whether he brings his 21 form and attitude
If he does,he's still a candidate for 6 ,or 3 in 25
But he will need to show something....and if he does,his old club at Redfern cld be looking for 2 new halves at year end if things don't go great

What’s the deal with suddenly endorsing players who were good three years ago. To give you another example using that time frame, 3 years before we signed Joey Leilua, he was an absolute beast. Like it or not, this game is a “what have you done for me lately“ type deal.

 

[Feline Carrier]

Doueihi is done here. Next.

Difference being Joey was playing all the way through and AD has missed most of that time through injury… no comparison.

Brilliant
@tiger_one Will love that one
