Curtis Rona

[ed612313]

Klemmer doesnt offer much??? Yeah ok….

At the Bulldogs, he scored 23 tries in 25 games. He was their finisher, and provides immense aerial presence, speed and try-scoring abilities. He was recently selected for the Wallabies and is one of the Force's top players.

IMO, his signing along with a bench prop completes our 2018 team. He is vital.

Signing a winger is not vital at all.

It is when you've got MWZ and Naiqama as contenders for your starting wing spot. Every great team has great wingers.

How's Naiqama a contender when he won't even be here? And MWZ will be a depth player in 2018.

I gotta ask the question too.. In which way is this kid "vital" for our team? I think we will be just fine with or without him. He's not a game changer

Latest rumour from today, from 'Wackos Whispers' on twitter, is that Curtis Rona may be coming back to NRL and coming to the Eels…

Wouldn't be surprised if it was just clickbait.

He is vital because the majority of our outside backs aren't very tall and have a power game. We need someone tall and pacey to complete our backline. Either him or Brett Morris at the right price would be good.

What about Chance Peni?

It's official, force have lost their appeal.

Fingers crossed we can get him…

Apparently the backer billionaire Andrew Forrest behind the club is going to start a 6 team rogue union comp…

Pretty funny really, when the level of talent can't sustain 5 Australian teams now, so that should be a roaring success. :laughing:

Excuse me Mr Forrest, great idea you have there sir. What if we told you that we can already hook you up with this 'rogue Union comp', already established over a hundred years ago.

What better revenge on Union to have young Mr Rona come and play in this 'rogue Union comp' and really stick it up the establishment. Just sign here young Curtis… :smiley:

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Well if Rona has signed a letter of intent as suggested there's now no reason why he wouldnt be on the bus, unless of course he's changed his mind possibly why we have kept 2 spots open as confirmed in the Q & A session this week.

And the ARU would ban any player from his comp to play for the wallabies. Stick to mining Twiggy.

That is unless Twiggy does a Kerry Packer and brings in the best across the globe and pays big bickies … this will be IPL revisited - a five nations IPL cup featuring Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England and France. About time that rugby had a big shake up. Good luck to him.

That was an era when cricketers were porrly paid. The best union players are already well paid and wouldn't give away their test jerseys.
Its a fantasy.

It's the Superleague vs ARL again. This time though there is not much TV rights for people to fight over. I suspect that the good players will stay in the ARL and Twiggy will buy the offcuts. But the offcuts will be happy to be playing and getting field experience. The players will be happy but Union will be harmed.

In fairness to Twiggy and the Force. They have a fair claim to a team, it is DUMB so dumb for Union to force this upon themselves. Unlike Murdock and his butchering of the NRL this actually is born out of fairness.

The NRL should set up in Western Australia with a 10 year plan. We need to expand League and with the force pulling out we can set up a base. WA needs a team to get behind and we set up a good team we can really take the area.

Meanwhile maybe we can sign up a few decent players.

I agree with his sentiments but this other comp is stupid. I doubt he's serious.
But he offered the ARU $50mill to keep the force in the comp. You'd hope Greenburg has been in contact.

It is the Telecrap - would they know anything truthful about the Wests Tigers?

 

[tigerbenji]

Has anyone heard anything about Rona as to what he is doing?.
