Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We should do the same. One club, one name, one jersey.

I do not think that the symbolic"One club, one name, one jersey." would do anything, as it is not the problem. Otherwise, we would be competing with the St G-Ill year after year!

Had a real good look at Lodge last nite..hard runner but no footwork whatsover..not in itself a deal breaker.
..abrasive and confrontational..big tick...
.but shocking lateral mobility in defence..very easy for nimble halves to step around unless we have a comprehensive system to back him up
We dont
Yesterdays style of player when the game was slower Im afraid
Gone off my list

I agree. He is a big lump that's for sure, but he is so slow and cumbersome, he can't really make use of it.

117kg and 191cm, but not very athletic. Payne Haas is 119kg and 194cm but plays 80 minutes. Somewhere between these guys is a handy player, but Lodge is all weight and height with no athleticism.

What I actually said is he'd be lucky to be in the top 5 in my opinion.

Statistics analytics witchery aside, I do think the facts definitely support he should in the very least be in anyone's top 5 fullbacks for this season.

I don't know what games you have been watching this season. Tedesco is well in fr=ont of all the other fullbacks even if he has lost some pace. He's a Bently v BMW's.

I would have thought a seamless integration from juniors to NRL would go a long way to strengthen unity, a stronger sense of belonging, and esprit de corps amongst the players and staff?
Interested to know what you think "the problem" is?

At best, the Panthers could be paying a lot of rent backdated to when?

Lucky they have only been in the comp since the 60's and they aren't a foundation club. 🤣

 

[Spacecub]

Definitely!

Guys like Kitoga and Blore saw the signings of Bateman and Papali'i as a road block to regular first grade. Blore managed to become a starter in Melbourne. Kitoga is stuck behind Kikau and Preston at Canterbury.

Two players the club should've invested more time in. But this is what happens when the decision-makers are constantly changing every 2-3 seasons. And Sheens really stuffed it during his tenure IMO.

Sheens certainly was a total disaster I'm sure he only came back for revenge

Tesi Niu too good for reserve grade.

Surprised no club has picked him up.

It's comforting you don't know what games I've been watching this season.

You're entitled to your opinion.

I think Walsh and Ponga are better players and possibly even Papenhuyzen. That's my opinion.

You are entitled to your opinion. What have they achieved?

We wished Brooksy a good finals series…well he’s certainly Hit his olde Tigers form.

I thought he played well, the penalties to the roosters didn't help (one sided early giving monentum).

Opinions are like @Droppy05's. Everybody's got one.

Jethro's father was world heavyweight champion Max Baer Sr.

He was World Heavy Weight Champ from 1934-35.

Died of a massive heart attack in 1959 at the age of 50.

Lake Cathie (Cat-eye not Cathy) for me.
Just north of Bonny’s, sometimes the lake is open sometimes not, depending on the weather conditions etc. We had a family Xmas lunch there when I was a teenager and I’ve never forgotten it. I love it there, I love the ocean/water. I’m on the mid north coast, so getting closer.

In the interest of thread title; We should get a good lock.

I lived in Lake Cathie a few years back. Great spot. Home of the big bowl. I'm in Forster now. Gotta love the mid north coast
