The excitement over Taylan May leaves a pretty poor taste. If nothing comes of the court case fair enough, but the mans facing some pretty dispicable charges

Yeah every year supporters talk the team up. Aim for 8-12 position and it's a start. It is not a top 8 team yet. 2-5 are defensive liabilities, we have young players that are another year or so off.

If we come tenth I'd be happy honestly.

I'm thinking 10th sounds about right to me, anything higher is a bonus.

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.

No one is saying a prop.
Try back rower!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

if he goes soon we should have some big dollars to shop with. And his top 30 spot to fill.

Batemans top 30 spot is already allocated…to Sione Fainu…

Is miller still using a top 30 spot?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Why is everyone talking about a bloke who's played 3-4 games in the top grade like he's about to turn into prime Gaz Ellis and drag us into the top 4 🤣

No

If he’s found guilty it won’t be a problem because he won’t be playing for anyone (rightly so). If he’s not guilty, he’s free to play and he’s a major upgrade on any of our centres.

People acting like it’s a done deal. The guy is a dead shit. The fact he was happy to risk throwing his career in the toilet while being apart of the best side of the modern era should be a huge red flag. No question of his talent. The guy is an absolute beast. But all the talent in the world is pretty useless if you are a maniac off the field.

Sukkar has literally had 25 minutes....not sure about Tim J .....how many games of NRL ......like you can't even look Tim up on Wiki lol

Call me old fashioned but I’m still a believer that the proper way to Firsts is to absolutely bash the door down in reserve grade. Melbourne is still going about it that way - star reserve grade players like Grant, Pezet, Faalongo who had to do a proper apprenticeship.

Can’t for the life of me see how anyone in our reserves earned a first grade opportunity in the last few years.

We’re obviously in a building phase, hopefully to a point where first grade jerseys are harder to earn.

I don’t confess to know these blokes at all , sounds like they grew up in some pretty rough circumstances.

Didn’t Benji have a bit of battling upbringing too? Single mum etc etc

Maybe he does have that Bennett magic dust with these sort of kids? Pure speculation on my part.

Your upbringing is no excuse. Millions of people have rough upbringings and grow up to be normal functioning adults. And he’s had a luxury not many of those people have, by being good enough to make lots of money. Atm though, he seems happy to squander his good fortune.

Im confused… has there been any rumor about tay may? Or purely speculation on the forum by connecting dots?

Remember Benji and his altercation at Maccas ......

I'd be willing to even let Starford go if it meant we could get Taylan May.....

I'd let go of Starford for a cardboard cut out of Taylan May

With a bit more 1st grade talent around the club, hopefully we see the lower grades settle a lot more than they did this year,skiping 3 grades in 3 wks,i hear. ya.Be good to see them just playing in position to bed down,not shuffle about like a 14

I don’t think he’s had his day in court yet has he?

All I’m saying is if he does get a second chance, maybe Benji will be able to help him through his issues.
