Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Fingers crossed it's to do with a signing announcement and not a sponsor or jersey thing.

Mate, if it's a jersey this close to the end of the year and still has that hideous Brydens logo on it when their sponsorship with us ends in a matter of weeks, well that will do me. 😡

They have done another audit on membership and the true number is less than 1,000

If membership numbers were proportionate to success on field, then you would think that 1,000 members would be well and truly over achieving. 🤣

Anyone know anything about a young kid we have signed from DeLaSalle college in NZ
Larrie Leha?

 

[hank37w]

Has any club ever won 4 spoons in a row,

How many have ever won
3 in a row.

Does anyone know.

Parra-sites have got 6 in a row and at one stage won something like 8 in a 10 year period if that's any help.

It was another WT masterclass in trolling their own fans.

Announcement will probably be of a new record loss vs Souffs.

I just get so pissed off with clubs allowed to just keep changing their stripe , it’s not cheap to buy them , people are doing it tuff , Nrl should fire up and say , new footy jersey last 2 years not change every year , it’s a rip off , and all,our teams should be wearing exact same strip
home jersey
away Jersey both 2 years
indigenous round , new one each year
that’s it

Yep it’s all about the money these days and how much clubs can drain out of their supporters. Team stripes and colours are the identity of a club and they should be uniform across the board. I have no idea who the hell some teams are when I first start watching a game at times, the colours and strips are always changing and often they look like anything but that club!

Seems to be a waste of time having a home jersey and an away jersey if you don't use them that way.

Why were we wearing the black home jersey against the Sharks at Shark Park last week?

It's not like our orange away jersey was close to the colours of the Sharks jersey that it would of caused any confusion.

I'm sure someone must know the reason for it.

What’s that got to do with Signings, Suggestions & Rumours ?

 

[hank37w]

Obviously you didn't read the post before mine as it was in reply to that.

What did your post questioning my post have to do with Signings, Suggestions & Rumours? 🤣

What’s the word on new signing Larry Leha?

You would be following the Auckland under 18s right?

Another one for “Development “ … should be NRL ready another couple of years

I still think the club is closer to success than people realise.

Just need to toughen up our individual defence (one on one tackles, strength to dominate), get some more creativity (Luai & Latu Fainu) & create more metres in early tackles (Turuva).

After that- it's getting the depth right so that we aren't playing reserve players as starters & children as the #1 back up without being tested.

Utoikamanu's retention or loss can go either way. If we keep him- he's probably the most damaging ball runner we have. If we lose him, it's an opportunity to bring in a harder, more physically dominant player like NAS.

NAS, Hetherington, Horsburgh etc- if we can add one or two guys that teams don't want to run at in the middle, our whole defence improves. I think there are winning pieces in place, with great talent emerging- we just need to plaster over the holes that better teams don't have.

If we are to copy ANY team in trying to build up to competitive- it's the Dolphins. Uncompromising, but limited forwards that don't give an inch. Power & speed out wide to give enough punch to win games.

I wouldn't mind getting Tesi Niu over, with that in mind.

We are not so bad then ????

He knocks defenders over like bowling pins, we haven’t had anyone do that since Sironen, Roach and Bruiser Clark.

Now there is Blast from the past. The blokes we have currently wouldn't last a 1/2 a match if Bruiser Clark was on the other side.

I know nothing about Larry Leha, the Warriors get the best of the young New Zealanders don’t they ?

We'll settle for deplorable 🙂

Ask a Bunnies fan. They would know.

How old is he?

 

[hank37w]

Don't care if he is old enough, is he good enough?

Blokes who can run hard but tackle as well.
