Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tom Shines]

A glimpse to our long-term future perhaps, except for Luke L at left wing.

lol - we are always looking to the future - I want to live in the present for once with a good team

 

[Canadian Club]

So you move our best centre to the other side and pair two rookies together?

Yes, I trust rookies who are more talented and have been playing and training with the team the last two years over a guy who hasn't touched a ball in 3 years until recently.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Unless we have injuries, totally pointless playing him this year.

Theoretically yes. In a perfect world, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET,
Benji under pressure to win games no matter what. ie the best available winger gets the nod.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Lomax would be handy right now !..
ps. only joking !

Pick the team to win now, whether that includes Luke or not

He will walk into the Wallabies
.as he wld walk into WTs

He's so dumb he'd probably walk into the wall.

Knock yourself out Zac. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Starford has done another heartilage

He has to be one of the most frustrating players we have ever had.

At least he won't be arm grabbing, taking an eternity to get up and play the ball after he is tackled and then going off injured mid game, totally stuffing up our bench rotation.

 

[Camel2281]

Noooooooo why reshuffle the entire backline for one injury.

Because it's probably the long term plan because Starford is the weak link anyway

Good thing we re-signed him for 3 years.

 

[Camel2281]

Skelton will be the odd man out, not To’a.

To'a is injured yet again. Bloke has a body made of glass and has a heart the size of a pea

 

[Camel2281]

yeh I’ve been told the future plan is Makasini left centre with May on the right

Maybe they pull the trigger now and Toa plays on the wing? He’s played there for Tonga

To'a can play reserve grade until he proves he's capable of playing well consistently

 

[Camel2281]

Horrible re-signing. Bloke is a pea heart

 

[hank37w]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we should be able to maybe get one good game out of him each of those years. 😡

For the betterment of our NRL team if it was to happen.
And here I was thinking you would like to follow a highly successful team ?

You keep forgetting to mention - He's no experience there.

Can I ask how many rugby league games do you watch per week and for how many years have you been watching ?
When you know, you know.

Most - if not all of them - And likely, For longer than you.
You'd be hard pressed to find anyone convinced
you know your arse from your elbow.

His reserve grade coaches didn't even try him there.

Sometimes it pays to listen to the experts who commentate and have played the game for many years at the highest level.
A few of them have stated they believe he is a quality centre, has good potential to play in the halves, but could be a superstar fullback.
Let’s hope he has a quiet one against us this week, but I doubt it.

Think it was 2 years..?
Im not sure hes a NRL 1st grader..if he was Tommy Turbo youd maye accept it...but he aint
Rinse and repeat every year

They the same ‘experts’ who try to convince us all year after year that Jake Turbo isn’t an old slow pillow?

I haven’t heard that ?
Quite the opposite, most of them have commented that he is slowing down noticeably and not the same player he once was.
