English Super League Potentials

Geez, I don't reckon the Poms have ever found another Ellery to this day.

Pearl and Garry Schofield were very rare along with one of the best forwards in the game at his time Ellis

 

[Tucker]

They should have 5 young guys in the Top 30 … not a dozen

I love this line.

 

[Stevec]

Pommy backs are generally useless and don't aim up in the NRL.

I think the only one recently is Dom Young and he was a kid.

Herbs Farnworth another one

Do you remember when Dom started in the NRL?
He was absolute shit on a stick.
Newcastle performed miracles on him.

Gee the tigers have had some brilliant pommy backs over time

Black pearls are rare.

I don’t think anyone from the Old Dart will help our cause really. Canberra did well a few years ago picking up the likes of Hodgson, Whitehead and Bateman in his prime, but other than that there hasn’t really been any Englishmen tearing it up in the NRL for quite some time. Apart from the one gem in Ellis, our English signings have been very underwhelming. I don’t know why Richo thinks hunting in the ESL will bring us any success.

Because no player noteworthy in the NRL wants to join us…….

Hervey Howard was always decent value & rarely gets mentioned when discussing English imports.

Oh if only we could have a player with Harvey's attitude & toughness.
I seem to remember that Wayne Pearce chose NOT to bring him into the new joint venture - as to why, who would know?

 

[Lebanese_Coach_aspiration]

The dumbest wrap I’ve ever seen on an English player coming here is he is the next Billy Slater - Sam Tomkins. He was so shit

Was he? he was on the back of a bad team and still had some full sick highlights.
In the right team he would be thuggnificent.

 

[Lebanese_Coach_aspiration]

Junior Nsemba is a barnstormer which could be developed

I dont see it as much as others do.
Paul Seguier is one that could be a decent Garner type.

Dom Young
Herb F
George Williams
Jono Davies
Gary Conelly.
Jack Reed
Brian Carney

Harvey Howard was a very good player, ended up @ Brisbane & won a Grand Final I think.

 

[hank37w]

I think McMeekan would go well over here. Big, tough. I'd be happy to give Oledzki a try as well.

I'd be happy if he scored more tries than Twal. 🤣

That's not a lot to ask for is it?

 

[batboy]

3. I think our spine next year is great, maybe a lock becomes a little less important. Pole shows enough talent for a young bloke to persist with. Benji should be able to coach this guy.

Love this - I think Pole is the one,
It's easy to forget he came straight into firsts from SG Ball on the back of a couple years where not much was happening below first grade (Covid).

I see all and sundry banging on about what he doesn't do (Ball play etc.) But this is only a part of what a lock does. He's decent in defence, Impact in attack, The best footwork at the line for a forward at the club, And he's just turned 22.
His only problem is, He's been jammed in first grade far too early - For his age and experience he's been relied on far too much over the last couple years... And he's been in a rubbish side
- Bit hard to develop your game when you're on the back of a whipping every week....

Push him back to lower grades for a couple months with some things to work on,
He'd come back with a whole new game.

Which lower grade team of ours that doesn’t get flogged are you putting him in?

 

[rozelle_rudy]

Wests Tigers haven’t had a good English player since Gareth Ellis. I'm low on optimism.

 

[Pom Tiger]

George Delaney , Nsemba ,Tyler Dupree . Harry Newman who reminds me a little of Zak Lomax good and bad.

 

[Harvey]

Ex NRL players that were fringe first graders rejected by their previous club.

Usual standard signings
