Shmucks.

He will be almost 35 by the time his contract is finished though and honestly if people complain about Ballin being 32 at the end of his contract then he wont be at the same level in 3 years

 

[bigsiro]

Sorry boonboon, that's a bit cryptic for me….what are you trying to say?

ballin's maybe played 2 rep games in his life. beau scott has played and killed it for nsw and australia. cannot possibly compare scott and ballin.

Too old, not sure he will be around in our premiership window. I would rather develop our own backrow. Chris Lawrence is going ok.

Do we actually have a premiership window :roll

There's no comparison between Scott and Ballin.
Apart from the fact that Ballin has never been as good as Scott, we don't even know

A . he will play at all this year, and
B . If he will be any good when he finally gets back on the field.
Remember Manly didn't spill any tears when they moved him out .
So far it looks like they knew what they were doing.
Could prove to be another JT inspirational decision,
That's right it already has, 5 ( if you count Liddle) hookers

Normally your premiership window is when your core group has around 100 games under their belt. Our core group would be Tedesco, nofo, Simona, brooks, Moses, woods, sue, sirro. Whether they are good enough is another question.

Is up to 5 now is it? May aswell chuck in Littlejohn and make it 6.

Liddle, Cherrington, Farah , Ballin, Halateau,
I may be wrong , but the last time I looked , that was 5, I think it still is.
Liddell and Cherrington aren't up to first grade at the moment, but Cherrington has been used there.

we still have 3 more hookers even if only one of them is genuinely a first grade hooker at this moment.
Ballin may or may not be anywhere near his best when and if he's ready to play
He was originally a tool to get Robbie to go.
Now we're stuck with paying him for a full season because JT wanted to play silly Buggers( which blew up in his face)
(I did say in my post" if you include Liddle".

Umm Halatau is not a hooker, he is a second rower who can do a job at hooker. Liddle is an U20's player caught by the U20's cap and I don't think realistically that he was in anyone's plans for first grade this year.

We have Farah, Cherrington and Ballin. Arguably one more than we need but if Farah had left and we had not signed Ballin then we would have found ourselves one short of what we needed.

Just let the bloke have a run before hailing his signing as the worst in the club's history.

…that and there is also the small matter of how much they each would have cost.

Halateau often been used as a hooker and when Cherrington didn't work out was hooker with Farah.
And liddle has been talked up here as well.
Glad you read my whole post, pity you saw a statement that wasn't there, but don't let that bother you.

Ok I won't let it bother me because you're just generally talking crap and aren't worth my time.

No problem with you criticising any of my posts, but next time at least be honest about what I'm supposed to have said , and don't just write drivel and attribute it to me.
Your opinion will have more credibility if it's even close to the truth,
Maybe you should use a bit more of your precious time to actually read what you critise.
If you have trouble reading, I'll use smaller words next time. LOL

You clearly do have a problem with criticism. You are also quick to resort to pedantic crap when you are losing the substance of an argument, which is often. Have your heroic little comeback and then hopefully someone will be along to lock the thread.

No problem with criticism, just with people who criticise something that wasn't said, and then are'nt adult enough to admit that they made a mistake,

I said that Beau Scott probably wasn't worth paying overs for, but if he were cheap with Parramatta picking up a chunk of his wage, and he were available next week or start of 2017, I'd say jump on that.

 

[happy_tiger]

Lets see how they go without Foran for a while , Scott was a good buy but Foran is their key
