More clutch than luai

Luai is a leader in attitude.

His game ability can be fade in/fade out. More like GI in that respect or Thurston, comes in and wins some games... near Awol in others.

He clearly could pay halfback at Penrith, with Yeo and others making space for him to do so. Just like Ivan had the team make space for Nathan Cleary. ... Man Ivan's coaching has really developed his son a lot. When Nathan started it seemed all he did was 5th tackle kicks and field position, which really tuned his game.

It's also why I think Luai can be a halfback. He has that command and a better leadership attitude then Benji IMHO.

I'm interested how Oryn Keeley goes tonight for the Dolphins. Not sure what side he'll be on but he'll be up against either KPP or Lucas so a good test either way.

Once Finefeuiaki & Lemuelu return from injury, he'll drop down their pecking order again I'd say.

I watched & was not impressed probably why he was replaced in 2nd half. Seyfarth is 10 times the player of Keeley.

How does May replace Klemmer Wests Tigers? God I hate how they’ve left us so short up front in the engine room where games are won and lost. This is a really shit way to start a new season.

I totally agree.

Looking at our team list, it is 50/50 forwards and backs now. But in the forwards there is no big name bar Terrell May.

Flip it Flippedy. Terrell May, assuming he doesn't play in the front row is a Gun. A genuine Gun of a player.
No we shouldn't hire more backs as we have it covered, But gun players speak for themselves. Were putting Toa back in at Center and that's evidence enough that we need a real first grade back.

Tyrone fits that in Ability.
Tyrone does NOT fit that in Attitude.

We really need to sign forwards, but we really need to start winning some games so good forwards actually come here.
Yes like you I am very worried.

I'm going to get slaughtered for this one but... Ryan Matterson worth a look? he's playing reserve grade for Parra this week. I believe he's good mates with Benji too & is still pretty close with Twal.

I'd take Matto for the rest of the year on a cheap deal.

He'd help fill our shortages.

Throw big money at Dylan Lucas or Zac Hosking! Two extremely UNDERRATED attacking edge backrowers who would never let u down! Both on the cusp of NSW Origin in my opinion

 

[rihannafan1]

We need a Dylan Lucas type of edge forward

Everyone does

Dogs have got a couple sneaky hard nosed 2rf in reserve grade sitting behind kikau and the other one.. Harry Hayes and Jack Todd I think 🤔 look like real goers.. defensive oriented

Klemmer gone if all is correct
We need to secure a hard running 80 minute back rower to replace Klemmer , and we also need to secure Taylan May for centre then go find the best young prop or Lowrie from dragons and secure him for 2 years , we have heaps of players who are free to go after 25 , more spots come available , we need to get into the top 8/10 this season and away we go

 

[Buttface]

I reckon we'll get a members email tomorrow that Klemmer has been released then another one on Monday that Olam is being medically retired and then one more (let's say Thursday) that Taylan May has signed on.

As for the backrow, I personally don't hate Twal and Bird sharing the lock role with Twal shoring up the middle in defence for 20min and then Bird coming on to add some dynamic. BUT what I saw from Seyfarth last week showed me we need a genuine starting 2nd-row option with Seyfarth off the bench as cover. Hope he has a blinder on Sunday and proves me wrong.

I know a dragqueens member, he reckons it’s done.

And that was at 8am yesterday.

I posted the MSN article where it confirms the Dragons' winger to Souths allows Klemmer to be brought into their 30. 10 News last night confirmed Klemmer will be with the Dragons this weekend.

No, no, no, no, no
We want someone who buys in and won’t give up.
Matterson is a pea hearted money grubbing arsehole.

 

[Speed2burn]

I thought Seyfatth might be on the improve last year but am really disappointed so far through trials and the first game… and he was captain in a trial!

I had someone argue with me that he gives 100% every game, will chase every kick and dive on every loose ball… that’s all well and good but pointless if you have the impact of a wet tissue. At some point we need a bit more

He’s still much better than any lock we got , if he came on a good price I would take him

Kool, I didn’t see any tv or news last night and hadn’t actually seen anything official.

Nope, he’s going through the motions.

 

[user118245]

May will be the early replacement for Olam. You can bet they’ve got someone already targeted for Klem’s spot.

I was thinking it could be that Vegas combine guy but apparently he’s at knights

If they could weave a little magic and pick up Kolo, Sorensen, and Wong on good deals... Wow.

He gave up on us when the hard yards needed to be made, but didnt mind taking the contract money. Must have learnt from Anasta.
Hard pass.
