Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

liltiger said:
I can't judge the success of Luais signing until we actually get a real forward pack. Cleary on Saturday night behind our guys would have done no better. We don't have a pack. I give our guys a white hot shot at beating the dogs, they're pack arnt huge so we won't get dominated as much as we did against the Panthers, the problem we will have is they seem faster than the Panthers forwards so I'm keen to see how our pack goes.

Dogs defensive line speed is super quick, one could say it is to quick to be legal, on the other hand ours is the slowest in the comp by some distance. So we are giving away yardage in every defensive set and we are losing yardage in every attacking set. Seriously, although we have selected probably our best 17 in months, I still think the Dogs will grind us big time.

Love to be wrong

Subjective opinion. Many disagree.

Yep, that'll happen when you're a junior, defensive based edge who isn't given much ball.

He had 1 on the weekend. So.... false.

Define 'small and weak', because he's objectively neither.

Hahahahahahahaha.... you mean like I suggested two pages ago?

Hahahaha, Doueihi has started half a game there. Sukkar's been there for 5 mins and Seyfarth has been on the bench for the past month. Stop over-simplifying things incorrectly 😂

Stop pretending like I'm making the counter argument to this. I made a comment on Sukkar being well suited to the middle in a couple of years, who are you swinging at?

So you agree he shouldn't play first grade for another 2 years and is a wasted spot in the top 30. Good.

That effort for Lindsay Smith's try last week was pitiful.
 
Ok over to you Benji, Shannon & Richo ...

Parramatta have distanced themselves from luring Queensland State of Origin backrower Beau Fermor from the Titans.

Fermor’s future on the Gold Coast has been the subject of uncertainty in recent weeks with the 26-year-old believed to be frustrated at the club’s lack of on-field excellence.

There have been suggestions across the game that Fermor had requested a release from the final year of his Titans deal, or had at least asked for permission to talk with rival clubs before November 1, however Gold Coast management have denied that is the case to this masthead.

I trust ur opinion do you think fermor is a good addition ? I worry abt titans players they just don’t put the effort in to defend and a lot of inconsistency

The coach is the last piece of the puzzle in my opinion. We have sacked so many coaches and kept playing with mediocre sides expecting better results.

The coach needs the players first and foremost. Any team in the top 4 aren't trotting out sides like we've had in the past.

Our recruitment has been pretty good and Benji will either have them winning or he'll be replaced. At least we will have a team capable of winning games off the bat instead of having to wait 3 years for the new coach to rebuild the squad which is going to be infinitely harder with a 19 team competition.

I think this next game with our best forward pack on paper selected all season is going to tell us just where the pack is at and how many we need to upgrade.

Balmain Boy at it again. You got NFI son! Stop stealing our oxygen. If you watched the game the edge forwards held them self well against Penrith the first half. You’re talking about a 4 time NRL grand final team who could not bust our line for 30min. Had Latu not shot out, no way they would have scored. I would have been embarrassed if I was a Penrith player and could not get through a rookie 21 year old edge forward for that long.

But since you hate Sukkar, Twal and Doueihi, it’s quite obvious where your minds at. BUT like the coward you are, you will never run it Str8.

Please change your name to keyboard warrior!

Losers like you are a big part of the problem at this club. A culture where losing is acceptable and underperforming is not only tolerated by celebrated.

Do you work for HBG by any chance?

I would be targeting Pezet and Jett Cleary.
We need a halfback.
Luai to lock perhaps to help look after Latus body

Sign the talent then figure out who goes where. The cream will rise to the top and the rest will still get offers

If we do sign a halfback Latu goes to lock not Luai

I’d go for Pezet or Savala, both have big boots

Today from Jarome Luai: "I'm staying, don't worry - for life. I think when things get hard, people are sort of expecting you to change and I'm not that type of guy. I'm here for the long run and I'm here to change this club around."

'Not that type of guy': Luai drops hint over contract loophole

Anyone who paid any attention to what this guy's character is knew he wasn't leaving.
I think we're all so used to weak gutted dogs like Brooks , Galvin and Moses that we don't think men of grit and integrity exist anymore.

No.

Was that what I said?

Try ACTUALLY reading. I said that he is best to, if we want him in the middle longer term, spend a couple of years playing Cup to perfect it. He is not also in the Top 17 in my opinion. You do realise that a decent chunk of your Top 30 play reserves most weeks, right?

Such a sloppy, lazy retort 🤣

I also disputed like 5 or 6 of your comments in my previous post, no follow up on that?

Yeh, cool. Any contributing factors? Latu shooting up and breaking formation? No?

Ok, sweet. So you half-ass analysis to suit your narrative too. Cool.

Seriously 😂
