It's a been a long time guys. I'm back. Miss me?

Next thing someone will do a google search and find out Cronk doesn't have a sister.

I looked it up, I can neither confirm nor deny if he has a sister. I did confirm he has parents, in case anyone was wondering, but couldn't even find their names apart from Mr and Mrs Cronk. All I got was that his Dad supports the NSW Blues.

Seems quite a private character old Cronkasaurus.

Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon states that it is all "fake news" and Cronk was actually hatched

Moses ?

I'll get murdered here but I think that with the right coach Brooks could be better than Moses.
He is more an organising half who is being stifled by Moses.
Moses is more a flashy player more likely to score a try but much more likely to stuff up an attacking more with a silly tap on on play 2, when it's not needed.
I still wouldn't be throwing much cash at him.

I agree Moses is a show Pony that's yet to back up his pedigree or justify his pay packet

 

[jirskyr]

Would rather it be Moses having his contract length and price adjusted.

That's not gonna happen I believe. Him and tedescos offers will remain. Tedesco on about 925k and Moses 765k per year. Tedesco management want a 5 year deal in place minimum though. Moses is a 3 year offer with player option of 4th

Corey Norman is reported to have re-signed with Eels for $733K per year and you are reporting we've offered Moses more? Joke!

Good to see you back, would really like to hear we are getting involved in the hunt for Cronk.

I am hearing you, our bloke has shown bugger all, but Norman has shown he is a rep player.

Did you end up kissing & making up with Sheens & Anasta?

 

[Flippedy]

What I can reveal is that the original contracts to woods and brooks have been pulled and are being restructured (based on years of contracts for woods and amount of dollars and years for brooks)

**Tedesco will re-sign.**

New players tigers have been in discussions with are Albert vete from the warriors and whare from Penrith. But I'm sure to hear more in the coming weeks about other players which I'll update in this thread.

**I'm also hearing idris and kavin naq won't be on the books next year.**

Music to my ears if true :smiley:

And the good news just keeps rollin along

 

[Flippedy]

Is Alex Glenn on our radar SG? Geez I'd love it if we could pick him up - he's always playing off the bench at the Broncos. He's be guaranteed a run on spot here if that's what he was looking for.

 

[avocadoontoast]

Give tedesco 10 years if he wants it. Surely we arent balking at a 5 year contract.

2 words. Chris Lawrence.

Young lawrence vs young tedesco = daylight, no comparison at all. Teddy could go on to be our best ever player. He could be the benji marshall talent that wins us another premiership. I know 10 is too long, but if the only issue with the contract is the 5 years then it should be a no brainer.

I think you forget just how good Lawrence was pre-hip injury. He was on track to being the best centre in the world. Sad people forget this.

Not me. I am Lawrence's biggest critic these days and think he should retire. But pre injury he was a hell of a player. Probably would have been origin centre had he not been injured.

Please fill me in, I am only 12 so don't know much of previous players.

What happened to Lawrence?

 

[innsaneink]

I think a more pertinent question is…Have we been tanking ..?

I'd say we may well have been… A ploy to remove Taylor perhaps? I just hope they weren't silly enough to text others about it...
Maybe gun knows?
Anyway way the godfather Ivan will set things straight

Dislocated a hip several years back… Never been the same since

He was absolutely incredible before the injury though.

Poor Lawrence.

Why doesn't he just retire?

 

[Tacky]

Any news on The Noff. Are we likely to keep him?

Gun if all of what you say in this post comes to fruition,it will give the jolt of confidence this joint really needs.Hopefully we can put to bed all this innuendo and speculation.its driving me barmy!
Let the Cleary era begin :sign:

 

[Hbom]

Lawrence was faster than tedesco. Was a turnstyle in defence from memory despite the big hits in the highlights package. Gee, he could have been anything.

 

[jadtiger]

Watching the highlights clip of Lawrence only reinforces the tragedy of his injury.Like Tuiaki those players blessed with natural speed and ability are such an ornament to our game and you appreciate them even more after they have gone.I will always remember Chris for all the great things he has done for us.
