Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Watch Madden dominate at NRL level if he he is surrounded by good aggressive ball runners and a bit of speed out wide.
No mate, no.. madden cannot tackle and panics in space,, douhei thinks defence is optional and refuses to pass too often .. this madden crap is ridiculous, he is a back up half but so far in his career has been unable to be consistent in nrl competition
 
Anyone know why we’ve announced Luai is released?

Have we already agreed with a club how much we will chip in?

We wouldn’t be silly enough to give up our negotiating position if his preferred club is only willing to chip in $300-400k? We wouldn’t would we?

I would assume we've announced because its been agreed, I just hope we aren't chipping in too much i just read on fox sports up to half. Kade7 said above club hoping only to chip in 200k theres a big difference there. Hope fully we can get them to at least take him at $800 minimum.

That is true, but that is most halves.
Luai defends very well for a halve except for games such as last night when he is quite obviously not wanting to put his body on the line.
 
Serious question?

Out of all the fullbacks, who is Bula better than currently?

I would argue only Tuipiki, Tracey, Gutherson and Iongi.

Close calls are Weekes, Gray and Kennedy. Even dolphins backup fullback in Fuller provides more.

Bula is at the point of his career he needs to be producing more. I get he's carrying injury but even when he isn’t, he is not a creator. Time for excuses are over.
Not in the same class as Iongi or Weekes or an ageing Kennedy.
Gray is a much better attacking player, but a big defensive liability.
 
Which has produced maybe 1-2 ties in the last month from about 25 attempts
Doesn't mean he isn't the best in the comp at it.. Its also something new he developed this year. Imagine how it looks over the next 4 years..

How many times does he contest and no one is supporting him? The answer is plenty.

Not disputing he’s not good at it, he’s very good at it. But it dosnt achieve a whole lot. Occasionally it can lead to a try. His upper body strength is very low and usually tackled easily after it. I’d much rather he be better at ball playing or breaking tackles.

Is the next part of the development to catch the contested high ball rather than knock them on?
Have you got any idea or theory on why Turuva never seems to contest a high ball? I recall him doing it quite often when he was at the Panthers.

Is there a day that goes by you don't make shit up?

How many contests has Bula gone up for where he has knocked them on vs not?
