Seriously, are you chipping someone about inappropriate thread/posts?

So does T. May

 

[Tito Santana]

I reckon we are still one outside back short and two back rowers short.

We can’t have Douhei or Staines in the 17 nor Twal. Plus we need someone to replace Bateman (assuming he’s gone).

Anyone have any suggestions?

My best 17 excluding those three looks as follows

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Olam
4. ?
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Luai
8. Klemmer
9. Api
10. May
11. Sam Fainu
12. ?
13. Bird

14. L.Fainu
15. Pole
16. Hunt
17. ?

Man, we’re in trouble if Seyfarth is the best we can do.

 

[weststigers]

If Bateman goes he is. Are you suggesting if we don't keep Bateman we are challenging for the spoon despite the upgrades everywhere else?

 

[innsaneink]

Charlie Staines is a good back up if needed.. Yeah yeah defense I Know.but they ALL need improvements there

 

[Bob]

Do you discuss the minutiae of your individual employment contract details with your at-level colleagues?

If you do - maybe check your company HR manual because it is likely a breach of the mutual-commercial confidentiality of your contract!

Yeah, I think most people at work discuss there conditions with other employees. Especially friends who socialise outside work. The not discussing conditions and benefits is an American thing that is coming into our culture via tick tock and other social media. In fact in most industries in Australia such conditions could be in breach of the fair work act.

 

[Camel2281]

yeah …was wind assisted…

He is an exciting prospect…. You can see he has plenty left to improve on …his start was nothing great …. I suspect the 200m will be his main event

Broke Peter Norman's 200m record now too

💯 - it’s about time someone started calling BS in twal, AD, Seyfarth… they have like one good game every 5 and people have short term memory loss.

Twal - plodder
AD - horrendous defense
Seyfarth - penalties, crushed in hitups,

Yeah they all have some strengths but they’re not going to be in a top 17 that wins a premiership

I’d even suggest Olam is cooked in that 17 of urs but we’re stuck with him for 2 more years. He has no lateral movement and gets caught out in D when the attack uses speed on the outside. If his knee is not 💯 I reckon we put him out to pasture

 

[Don Kershane]

Olam should start planning for a management or coaching role when PNG enter NRL. Given his profile he could name his own price.

Unfortunately the commentating roles in Pidgin English would be taken up by the current Channel 9 team.

100%. Was it Graham Murray at the Cowboys when he took over he had a massive sandpit installed and the players spent majority of time in the sandpit tackling? I am happy to donate my time and sand to build us a sandpit. Our focus should be Strength, Conditioning and defence.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Wanted a chance to win a title

Interesting, the Knights without their fullback who has signed with the Broncos will be pretty ordinary. I thought the WTs' team with the young representative 5/8 and also the hooker signed from the Illawarra, looked good. In any case her departure opens the door for another young player.

You think Luke is ready to play a full season from
round 1? more chance of Staines holding down the
#2 being the incumbent. I know he wants to play
center but I can't see Benji breaking up the left side
combo with Luai that brought a lot of success at
the premiers. I said it before but To'a is my roughie
to start round 1 at right centre although he's unpopular

Agree. To me it looks like a shoot out between Douiehi and To’a for right centre. Turuva left wing and Skelton and Staines going for right wing (guessing Skelton grabs that spot).

Nice one Don. That deserves two thumbs up not just one.
👍🏻👍🏻

Murray went to Townsville and had to build a sandpit?
Could he not see the beaches to the east?
We need to spend the entire of season on defence and building cohesion amongst the team.

No offence, but is there a women’s signing suggestion and rumours thread?
Bcoz I read the first line and went to a news website looking for where Ponga has signed with the donkey's until I remembered the young gun they already got and came back to realise you were talking about the ladies. Yes, I jumped the gun a little, but it’s still early in the day. 😎
