Plus. Bellamy is on the way out. He’s been a year to year proposition for the last decade, but he’s never really been in a position where he was going to stand down. But now with his illness, he wouldn’t have long left. You have to wonder if that’s had an affect on them too. Who knows how it’s affected his ability to communicate the way he always has.

Good point, could be a potential player exodus because he’s finishing up

I believe his wife opened a business so I would not want to leave of your trying to build it

Been a good player for us, especially this year prior to his injury


Happy for him to see his contract out and hopefully he can stay healthy and provide some impact for us

 

[clontarfkid]

Well...hes on a one year contract...options for both parties to extend
Id be astonished if his wife walked away from a viable ongoing business and an established home and lifestyle in Newcastle

 

[Merlot]

If they lose Harry that will destroy them I reckon. Don’t think they will though.

rumours are Newcastle chasing him,

Keep hearing about this successful business.
Sussed it out... lol

Another overpriced, ordinary clothing brand, charging $90 for a t-shirt.

I buy a dozen tee shirts for $90.!Blocker and Sirro guided me to Lowes...!
But to the point, once ensconced in Newcastle as they are in a nice house at half Sydney $$,its really hard to move to Syd long term
Will see what we get out of him next year
Not a terrible signing at all..but wish we had added some young established first graders in our recruit mix..like other teams at the bottom of the table are doing.We seem to be just propping up the existing mediocrity with worn out 1st graders..this will be Frizells 17th season
Wld be wonderful to develop the galaxy of junior talent in our backyard ,but beyond the capability of current coaching and pathways management it seems

Yeah, I don't get that one. I mean, Harry is incredible. But Phoenix is a good player and on his way up.

We have to go for Harry

Watched Dunster and Schuster at Lidcombe one game. Both did not impress.
Both short of a gallop though.
Need a lot of improvement to get to NRL level. Fingers are crossed on these 2 but not holding my breath.

A whole nrl off season will go a long way to determining this . It will be up to them I guess . Put in , eat right , train hard , pay attention and there’s an nrl contract in your horizon . And in Schusters case , a really low chance of nrl stardom . Don’t put in and it’s driving forklifts for Linfox . Not that there’s anything wrong with that .

Could Schuster play lock ?

So you think maybe Tyson is going to do the commute every day from Newcastle to Sydney ( 2 - 21/2 hours each way ) that will break him if we are not going well

 

[Ermo]

Bring him home!

 

[innsaneink]

Hes got a bit between the ears re footy

Maybe he sees a new club on the rise as opposed to one going the other way
Or maybe hes just trying to up his value

 

[happy_tiger]

The speed of the game has killed Melbourne. No more wrestle.

At full strength and with their signings for 2027 I think they might be a Top 4/6 side

The Frizells are moving to Sydney. I posted a story in this thread a few hours ago.

Who would be number 1 fullback backup next year Schiller Attard?

Averillo.
Then maybe Bryenton depending how he goes in the offseason

My 2c on the attack vs defence argument.

Both are crap, however my theory is our rubbish defence puts pressure on our attack. They have no confidence they can defend back to back sets, so they play very conservative in attack so we dont make errors.

I think it's the opposite. In so many matches we were right in it, had opportunities in the opposition half and did less than bugger all. The repeated inability to turn possession into points made our heads drop and then one counter attack from our opponents would lead to 3-4 tries in 15 minutes. If we could score more often when we were on top we might have made the finals

Very true not being able to apply score board pressure was a big problem

And no shape what so ever the opposition defence would have been happy just an easy training run for them conserves there energy to attack us

I wouldn’t need to read a story to figure that out. It’s not really news.
