Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I have stated previously that i would love to see Tim Johannsen turn into a good player, but the way he's being talked up around here is a bit ridiculous and very premature.

He's not even in the top 30... He has 6 props in front of him in the pecking order, 7 if you include Seyfarth. I honestly believe its more likely that he doesnt even play a single NRL game next season than him playing 1.

Gareth Ellis was probably our best ever in terms of consistency, wish he was around longer.

The best forward WT have ever had.

Why don't you give the bloke a chance before you start bagging him in your usual fashion.

He is not getting bagged ....if anything Tim is getting too much smoke blown up his ass
..... same as Sukkar ......how many minutes of NRL has he played ......25 ....it's just ridiculous sometimes ....

As Bellamy would say with his little wry grin, maybe ask me about these guys once they’ve had a season or two in first grade.

Trial form is useless too mate. We butchered Manly a few years ago then lost our first 6 I believe.

Continue to wrap up nobodies, no skin off my back.

What are you expecting to get out of trials exactly? They are training runs.

Agree, Johannsen is such an awkward tackle! Reminds me a bit of Heilum Luki - you wouldn’t know if to tackle him if he ran those lines. Would love to see him start this season in the backrow! Defensively strong, runs hard and got a great offload! One of the those blokes that would never let you down and huge upside 🔥

Is he training there?

 

[Merlot]

Agree totally, only issue is going to be how long it takes Luai and Galvin to gel. Once that happens and they are consistently on the same page, our halves should be top 3 in the comp when fit.

Could Galvin;s smile get any bigger? , Don't think we will see any 2nd year syndrome. As for Gal resigning, he'd be mad not to bluff his way(contract wise) until new teams join 2027.IMOA the kid will stay a 1 team wonder

And the same could be said to yourself .....wait until they actually prove themselves in the NRL before wrapping them to the eyeballs .....

How about we get the side for round 1 gee that's a novel idea.

I'm bookmarking everyone posting bullshit, receipts!

You’ve been pretty complimentary of Sione Fainu and Sukkar. Both have only shown little glimpses in First Grade. You’re not Robinson Crusoe though, Fainu has a few fans already.

I rate his brother, need to see more of those other guys.

 

[Merlot]

The best forward WT have ever had.

so far

That’s what the whole pre season is for. Not a couple of games where we field 30 players in 80 mins

Then why the big concern ??

I think you have me mixed up with encore tiger

True,but to be the best forward in 25 years is something to be proud of.Hopefully someone ends up better than him and the sooner the better
