Luke Lewis

I'm a fan of Luke's but I don't think he's what we need.

We are in need of another quality prop and one or two speedy outside backs imo.

Ummm, agree and disagree. We do need speedy outside backs; but a classy, fast, athletic, experienced, ball handling second rower with incredible utility value is exactly what we need. I would take Lewis over any winger or prop.
 
I dunno. I reckon we are way light in the back row without Ellis. Our starting three aren't really convincing. Fulton is alright, Blair is useless and Heighington is past it. Lewis is useful for sure.
 
We already buy 3 backrowers and then one of the best in the world becomes available….thatd be right :frowning:

Lets try for a bloody halfback eh?

Rumour is Panthers are clearing the decks for JT… Maybe we could Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon them?
 
Don't worry, Lewis will never go to Parramattta! Rule them out, they are the joke of the NRL and the only team worse than Penrith. It's us, Sharks or the Dogs.
 
cronulla red hot favourites 4 pm news , id like him very very handy , and plays so many positions , wing , centre , fullback , lock , second row , why not half back

Don't steal my thunder Watto :rant
 
IF we buy him that would mean more backrowers playing at prop.. just because we have money dont mean we go signing any big name that becomes available.

Wing and fullback are two positions he will never play again unless there is a disaster run of injuries, fullback I have never even seen him play, please!
Injuries aside he is a back rower!

We haven't sign anyone to replace Ellis yet. Anasta isn't a second rower and pettyborne and Thompson aren't in Ellis class. I would let heighno go and put Lewis at lock, Fulton and Blair in second row with Pettyborne on the bench. I would have Anasta at 5/8 with Siro on the bench.
 
Lewis is one of just a few who could replace ellis,but weve probably spent Ellis $$ on those two reserve graders from Titans & Bunnies,plus Anasta
Aaaah…timing is everything
 
If Lewis does go (I'm still not convinced), I bet he will end up somewhere that has those awesome salary cap accountants. You know, Roosters, Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Manly etc.

Lewis is extremely keen on a media career after footy. My bet is that he will end up where all the Hob knobs and media types are seen constantly, South Sydney.

Hard to argue with any of that

We haven't sign anyone to replace Ellis yet. **Anasta** isn't a second rower and **pettyborne and Thompson** aren't in Ellis class. I would let heighno go and put Lewis at lock, Fulton and Blair in second row with Pettyborne on the bench. I would have Anasta at 5/8 with Siro on the bench.

So who are they replacing?

Theyre all backrowers…anastas days in the halves are quickly coming to an end
 
The club could only release Heigno if he wanted to go can't they?. If we could let Rhino go and Lote as well, that would free up some cash. Surely we could make a play. Can't see it happening though

Moors, Cashmere and Bell. Tongue in cheek, those buys were clearly to replace Ellis why we wait for the youngsters to develop, Santi, Lovett, Vela, Fotuaki, Groat and possibly young Sirro will all come into the NRL pack in the next

but gees Id love Lewis

11\. blair
12\. fulton
13\. lewis
14\. sirro
15\. bmm
16\. pettybourne
17\. thompson
18\. heighno (hasn't left the club yet)

yup.. play EVERYONE in the backrow, who needs props?

no doubt lewis is a class backrower and the ideal person to replace ellis, but already we have too many backrowers.. we need a halfback and a couple of props.. spend lote/heighno's money on a halfback

not to mention we still have fringe first graders in moors

outside backs and backrow is something we don't lack talent in, nor depth
 
Me too…..but can we be overflowing with depth in the backrow.....just creates an unbalance squad, more players playing out of position much like this highly frustrating season
