Russell Packer - OFFICIAL..

[simonthetigerrrr]

Well he has lost a ton of weght. I would Def give him a go and 2x20 min stints. We would have a monster pack for the first time ever.

Balmain had one in the 80's and that was bloody fun!

 

[teddy23]

A pack of:

8\. Packer
9\. Mcwrllick
10\. Matulino
11\. Chris McQueen
12\. Aidan Gurerra
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Liddle
15\. Kasiano/ Brenton Lawrence
16\. Sue
17\. Alioia

Would be awesome, I love Chris Lawrence and respect him so much as a person and am very glad he'll be the skipper tonight but he's just not FG material imo

Chee Kam
Felise
Twal

As depth.

I agree re Eastwood, BIG NO for Eastwood.

But with Guerra I think a change of scenery will do him well, he's played State of Origin for QLD and he can play 80 mins. He's got talent but he needs to find it again and I think with the help of Cleary and a new club that it'll happen. Won't be mega $ and he brings experience of playing for Australia, QLD, Italy and also scoring a try in the grand final they won in 2013\. Don't think he'll be too bad

The talk bout Tui Lolohea also seems to have gone cold since Tuesday, what's the talk on his situation? Is he really our best option for fullback? I'm hearing he wants ridiculous $$ up around the 800K/season mark which if true is ridiculous given he can't even make Warriors best 17 each week. Does anyone feel Hopoate is worth a decent look if we can get him to agree to play Sunday's? Prob pick him up for a fairly decent price.

Well your hearing wrong.

Top offer is 500, our offer is 430\. Long way short of 800.

Common sense would tell you nobody is going to pay anything like 800.

 

[Devon Head]

I didn't say that's what he was offered I said I'd heard that's what his manager was asking for.

 

[gatorman]

Good to see the Dragons forum pissed off at the coming announcement of Packer signing with thee WTs, supposedly this weekend.

Just wish Milne would jump on the bus !.

 

[WT2K]

So stoked that we've got Russell Packer at WT! Our pack has got some much needed mongrel

Won't lose sleep if we don't get Tui or Will Hopoate from what i've seen of the two in the last few weeks they aren't in the same planet as Tedesco.

The bus is filling up, only a few spaces left. Hurry onboard if you want to join the winning team.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

I like this signing as it gives us some aggression… Wonder if Ivan will use him as a Starting Prop or off the Bench.

have I missed a signing, where has it been stated that we have signed packer, can some one help.

Everyone stroked themselves silly over dunny bill that year Roosters won the comp. For mine Guerra outplayed him most weeks. We get him back to that sort of form with McQueen and Taylor prowling just wide of the ruck where Packer, Matulino and Macca are smashing everyone up the guts and you have the makings of the best pack the club has turned out.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Guerra is in a funk at Easts. Form is temporary and class is permanent though.

He'd get a new lease on life at another club I reckon. He's stale at Easts.

How does Chris Lawrence fit into that old chestnut?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I reckon Lawrence would serve well off the bench as an interchange second rower. Guerra generally plays about 45-50 minutes. I think Rowdy struggles playing 80 himself.

Sorry I meant about form vs class.

 

[Guest]

I'm hearing tigers very keen on Aiden Guerra. Anyone got info as to whether this is just another media beat up?

Apparently we have offered him a contract, according to smoking gun. No word on whether he's made a decision though.

Absolutely. Look at Ben Barba, Chad Townsend and arguably Korbin Sims. Form went up with a change of clubs.
