Cobbo has talent ,.. but looks overweight this year …

Starting to get some John Schuster vibes ,,,and not even Bennett can get him turned around …

Mate, overweight, looks like he’s swallowed a watermelon ! I think he’s on old BJs KFC diet !
If he joins us we would need to get him and Hunt on the Bay run at least 2-3 times a week.

I’ve nothing against Latu - can anyone claim we’ve got value for money out of him? I also consider he was out injured when we bought him - he’s played a handful of games in the last 3 years.

Sam has been quiet this year but had a good first year - hopefully he bounces back and the other bloke gets on the park for more than 20 minutes off the bench at some point before he’s up for renewal - so he can be judged fairly and on more than snippets from a game or 2 every other month.

he’s been in cup past 2 years cus of LG

no , he is there because he is always broken

As a man manager you definitely can fault Benji IMO.

The way he answered the Api question makes me think is extension is imminent, and that there could very well be more to the TDS dropping - as suspected by some. Sorry to be a body language expert, hope I'm way off.

Surely they have an option on him - weird move to make just for one year….

There’s a few of those 13/utilities getting around that would do
A job for us - probably cost us a hooker though… Walker has been the best of them for Parra - he’s got them on the up.

Don’t like walker, seems to full of himself and ill discipline but he makes parra look a whole lot better

The other week he refused to go off, where are the news articles for that?

Free Tino and let him come here

If you added Taylan, Tino to our side next year then it's a top 8 teams..Tino could go to Perth. I'd offer him 1.2 million. Worth it

Man the Titans get a call ratio similar to ours feel for them

Be happy with that myself.
TDS isn't up to snuff yet.

Adele Hague said the exact same thing us and the Titans are the two teams who the ref's dud constantly.

Sure has - for 7 games…

Where’s he been the rest of the time you figure?

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

I don't know if you are watching the Titans guys but they are short odds for the spoon just diabolical.

god bless them , spare us the shame of a 4th year

 

[batboy]

Ah, so you made it up.

Checks out.

**edit - either I'm dreaming or you originally used the word 'desperate' as below. Going back, it now reads 'happy to see the back of'. That certainly softens my approach to below.

You said they were 'desperate'. Granting a release to benefit from some cap relief is not the same thing as being desperate to get rid of a player.

Kinda like how releasing an overpaid player and replacing him with another player for more money wouldn’t be considered cap relief..

Didn’t ’make it up at all’ it Was mentioned by one of his team mates in a podcast - they wanted to offload Latu and were spewing it cost them Samuela as well (or words to that effect) mentioned on the back of Samuelas year with us.

I’d reckon one of his team mates would have some idea - maybe more than me, maybe even you…

You assume I’m wrong / or making shit up - do you have anything outside your opinion to back up your take on it?

 

[crazycat]

He said that prior to last season, before he won player of the year at second row. Can't take too much from that. Samuela knows hes better suited at second row and have heard that he speaks to Haumole regularly about how he cant improve at second row.

Please, can the forum stop moving our best players from their best positions!

I think the biggest mistake Benji is doing is changing positions of the players.

AD, you stay at Center or get out of here.
Samuela, second row seems your best position> lock him in there.

Why?
Attack, you know where people are. You know what role people can do. No-look passes are possible because you have a good feel and gel of the team.

Defense, you trust the person next to you. A key item of defense is when a Center knows to move out or in. You either create an overlap or let a player through. ...

All comes down to GEL!

 

[crazycat]

I think the knights recruitment strategy is ill advised, just based on my general theory of league that champion teams usually conquer factory sides with splatterings of marquee.

That said, looking at it logically, we don’t know how it will pan out for them and Sharpe is fast becoming one of my favourite players.

So they’ve made their bed.

Kpp seems to be a fair player!

I don't get the bidding for Brown...
Good player, Parra's offer of 900k was fair if Overs.

1m for 10 years is a panic buy... Which means we get to pinch some front row off them.
