Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's not how many they played.

It's how many of those they won.
84% win percentage or 16 wins (ok sure the storm, but he is a key part of those victories).

IMHO We can hire players that only play 10 games a season as long as they win most of those games.

“SHOOSH

Which experienced NRL forward is not expected to be at his club next season, despite being contracted and having played more than 20 games this year for the top 8 side?”

Speculation

It's a rumours and suggestions thread - everything is speculation but I'll back mine home in this particular case

I heard somewhere Rudolph changed managers recently away from Richo’s sons agency. Maybe this was to alleviate any backlash if he signed with us 😉😉

Whatever diverts us from the truth on Monday morning when the bills come in.

after googling Red nose Reindeer and various Christmas carols...
I believe you mean Toby Rudolph from the Sharks.

We could be in trouble as he too is a low minute forward. Great impact, but like Hunt low minute.

Lock up your daughters, Uncle Toby is sowing his wild oats!

I hope you’re right, he goes well and would be handy.

Rudolph would be a good signing, if this is on the money.

Popular with team mates too- helps to build the new club culture.

Never been keen on stirring another man's porridge. Unlike Matthew Johns ...

It was nothing about a toxic culture. It was all about Ivan wanting to coach his son. Ivan had to decide where he would coach and decided it would be Penrith even though he was legally attached to the Tigers.

No no, I mean did Ivan experience the same toxic culture at board level.

Double his wardrobe too if the guy is the same size as him.

sometimes played 60mins a game this season.

According to this:

Toby Rudolf

Toby Rudolf of Cronulla Sharks player profile including contract information, NRL news, stats and rumours.

His most was 55 minutes. Although the best bit.
At the start of the year he seemed to be playing 30-40 minute stints.
Later he got up around the 40-50 minute mark.

With Hunt who is also low minutes, I am a little worried. Toby only makes sense with Hunt in our team, otherwise I don't know what we are seeing here other then "we need forwards ... BAD".

This whole chat appears to be about Toby Rudolf. not NAS (nelson aS).

While Toby is on 500k and NAS is on 900k, I would rather NAS..

Toby does more tackling. Both are low minute players (although I think in NAS's case it's belamy keeping him off the field.). NAS just has such great impact.

Rudolph was playing 45-50 minutes in the back end of the year, not really what I’d call low minutes for a prop especially one in a strong pack. Without checking I’d say 50 minutes would be above average for props.

I’d definitely rather NAS as a player, but I’m not sure he’s worth close to double what Rudolph would cost.

I think if we got either they both improve our pack.

He finished hos season stronger than he started though.

Not a fan of him but Rudolph is not a low minute forward. His minutes are slightly lower than most starting front rowers because Sharks unlike other teams typically run a 4 forward bench.
