Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Wow poor form from the journo. Made it way too personal. What does the crowd number have anything to do with answering a question about recruitment? 😆😆
Because he was gotten to. Des was brushing him off the same way you’d brush a fly off your face and the journos ego took a hit. That’s the only reason you react that way. Des probably forgot about him the moment he left the room, meanwhile this guy was probably already formulating the hit piece he plans to write.
 
We really don’t need much:

Fullback: Bula, Turuva
Wing: Skelton, Turuva, Laulili
Centre: May, Toa, Makasini
5/8; Luai, Fainu
Halfback: Douihei, Fainu, Madden
Second Row: KPP, Sam Fainu
Lock/Prop: Twal, Sione Fainu, Terrell May, Seyfarth, Pole
Hooker: Api, Haywood

Fringe players Geyer, Ethan Robert’s, Sukkar, Murray, Hope, Mason, Mapalangi, Taateo.

We really need to replace Hunt and Bird with two younger players of quality. A starting prop would be ideal as Pole and Sione Fainu coming off the bench would damage teams.

If Richo and Benji can get Griffin Neame and ATA Mariota type players into the squad we will make the finals.
How has Kit's development been like? I don't watch lower grades.

Poops has the down low.

 
That is seriously appalling behaviour, that journalist ought to be banned from interviews for a good few weeks minimum
Don't know about banned, but he'll get blanked by most for trying to corner Des and make a name for himself.

Despite his carry on, still...no one knows his name

Even with KPP coming in, you really see how the Second row has a major gap.
We seem to have Prop covered to a degree. Although May really is overused and another Origin level prop would go a long way.

If Bird is going, we are really going to need a utility. Looking at the squad, only Mason seems to be utility value and he is very green.
 
Why? Good journalists push the limits.
Sorry Tito Chammas is a guy who likes to push limits, this wasn’t that in the slightest. This Travis flop was berating Des and was incredibly unprofessional. It felt like a blow up between family in someone’s backyard not a post match interview. Journos need to know their place-Travis should be blacklisted
 
He was surprisingly calm. After the 3rd push back I would have told him to pack his bags before I jump into the crowd and club him like a seal
Des is a pro with the media.
Annoying to get a straight answer out of I’m sure….but a bloke who has had a career as an elite player with over 300 games plus another 30 odd rep appearances and 500 games as a coach, with over 4 decades of direct experience all up deserves other stakeholders who’ve achieved nothing in the sport to show him some respect.

Yeah, pretty disappointing, we all get frustrated at times but just being a journo doesn't give him the right to disrespect Des and carry on. Worst thing about it imo was his comment about the crowd. The guys a clown.

The NRL should be having a word to him. I know the journos have a job to do but this was a hatchet job. Coaches don't want to do the press conferences as it is. There was nothing wrong with asking the question, but it was answered whether he liked the answer or not. Very unprofessional.
