Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tony Taco]

Prom date? What are we living in that shit hole called the US?

Ayyyyyy settle down there, Santana. Thats my heritage your sledging over here.... Far from a shithole.

No,

We have 3 halves on the books:
Latu
Luai
and

Sullivan.

Whomever plays 3rd halfback is doing OK. Yikes you are training with Origin superstar Halves in Reynolds + Luai. Your probably nr14 and you will be getting game time with injuries.

It's nr4 that it's a complete slap in the face too.

Sullivan highly unlikely to return IMO

 

[hank37w]

well half that depth we don’t use for whatever reason

. . . . . . . . well you hope that the situation does not arise where you have to use that depth.

It is a balancing act, Cobbo imo would be a good for WTs at left centre. Doueihi has copped critiscism for his performance against the Panthers. Cobbo is a danger to opposition defences with his combination of pace and power. Fifita in the past has been a fine player but his form is erratic. Many have May slotted at left centre but he has played minimal games at centre (8). I believe he will be competing with Skelton and Staines for left wing if he can play consistently well.

Broncos have just tabled a 2 year extension for Karapani so even less salary cap space for Cobbo now & a player in his position extended adds ???

The plug that Matt Johns gave Galvin before the Bulldogs Monday game made me sick. Gould is definitely on a mission to make him the glamour boy of the NRL.

Before the game? It was on repeat the whole weekend. Idk what the motivation was, but people can’t stand when a player is shoved down their throats by the commentators. A classic example is Trell. Cleary is another if you listen to how much lathering Ennis does of him. It’s one of the fastest ways to get the public to turn on a player. And if they continue to go down the same road with Galvin, he’ll be one of the most disliked players in the game by the end of the season. I’d almost feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such a POS. That game the other day was beyond belief. Voss claimed with a straight face that the roars of the crowd when he scored were them roaring for HIM. Not that his try was the match sealer. They were cheering for him. I’ve been watching the game for over 30 years and have never heard a commentator make a claim like that.

Karapani looked awesome last week. Would be surprised if he loses his spot.

 

[hank37w]

We have Tyrone saying he wants to return to play with his brothers.

We have Willie Peters- Richo links

We have a halfback returning to the club next season that could be looking to move on.

Player swap? Tyrone May for Bud Sullivan?

Bud was home sick moving from Wollongong to Sydney. 🤣

Cobbo looks like he is out of the Broncos ..I don’t think he is what we need though

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I don’t think he ever wanted to be here. Wasn’t there an article over the summer when we first signed him that he either said or heavily implied that he didn’t wanna leave the Dragons? Never a good fit for us.

No inside knowledge, but...

Can't see Bud agreeing to this

 

[tigerbenji]

Sullivan also said it felt like home @ the Rabbits, so hopefully he stays there.

How many hours of footage did they trawl through to find some bog standard players for Matty to analyse? Playing it at halftime in the Tigers game was irritating. The whole thing was bizarre. Anyway, not our problem anymore.

At the right money, but not 800 large. Other issue is where do you play him. Centre?

Interesting. Player swap for Kolo.... Dreams I know.

We don't need a guy who at 23 has already let his body get to an unacceptable state. The mental weakness involved in that doesn't improve. Let him be some other club's problem.

 

[liltiger]

Fox and nine have thrown Galvin’s name in the ring for the next immortal. It’s sickening the way they are hyping this guy up especially after the way he orchestrated his release from us. Also what’s the young no6 at the Raiders got to do to get these bone head so called experts, to give him the same hype

I know right, what's even worse is they speak Galvin up better than Katoa. Galvin isn't even in the same universe as Katoa that kid is amazingly good. Katoa has all the skills and the football I.q of a guy watching everyone play league while he's on the field playing 4d chess. He's amazing, yet if you listen to the commentators it's all about Galvin. Wonder how many of the talking heads are managed by Moses and if he's got them talking him up.

Play him at left right out for mine.
While I think there has been some shit causing issues at the Bonkos for the last 2 - 3 years and that is the main reason for their poor performances, he is unfit and one bucket of KFC away from being Roycie's twin.

 

[liltiger]

We only know his version of the story … so I’ll keep an open mind … Cant believe he was on $300k a year …they make some terrible calls … hopefully that’s behind them now

Not yet Tom, might be after next week though. I'd imagine he's still on the books atm.

Always found the commentary around Galvin to be hyperbole, its almost like they arent seeing what we all see like the crabbing, non effective kicking, the missed tackles, dropped balls over the line....
Katoa is a universe ahead, that kid has Fittler vibes.

Ayyyyyy settle down there, Santana. Thats my heritage your sledging over here.... Far from a shithole.

Sorry you’re correct. It’s much worse than a shithole.

Hey, Just thought of a name for an NRL expansion team - The LA Fire.

Too soon?
