Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We need to throw a bus, the car, 7 bars of gold 14 virgins and a purple unicorn at arrow

I doubt if you will ever find the 14 virgins let alone the rest of the list

I think Geo’s scale needs to incorporate potential for brain farts. Matt Utai and Action Jackson Kaufusi are probably the benchmarks there.

I couldn't agree less. Many plodders never ever have a brainfart. Sometimes they never even pass the ball! There should be completely different scale for Crazed Hotheads (Corey Payne, Luke O'Donnell) and whatever the nickname is for people who consistently make the wrong decision. (we've had a few on that scale, even amongst our best).

I'm not talking about plodders, that was for Geo's proposed nuffie scale. I agree plodders have little discernable brain activity but for a nuffie the propensity to perform a baffling act of stupidity is a key indicator.

Agree we need another scale for hotheads/bezerkers. I remember LO'D completely lose the plot against us once. Got penalised three times in a minute and then got binned. Good times...

I remember Beau Ryan deliberately tap the ball back in from going over the sideline straight into the arms of a rabbits player....great nuffie!!!

I also remember a glorious night at Campbelltown where Nathan Brown ran about ten kilometers to fight an entire Raiders reserve grade team...then the Tigers captain and anybody else in the vicinity

Matt Utai was the king of the bonehead play. Watching the game highlights even years later I'm still baffled by his "thought" process on occasions.

But for me Lipina "Action Jackson" Kaufusi will always be the patron saint of nuffies

N Brown is clearly a leading hot head

The Utai Falcon is still one of my favourite moments in Rugby League..

Billy Walters = done deal

 

[avocadoontoast]

Billy Walters = done deal

Would that suggest Reynolds is likely to move on? No point signing a back up for our back up.

 

[Nelson]

Well considering age and proneness to injury maybe there is...

Good point.

Or Benji is retiring

What's the whack with Pangai Jr's contract? Surely they can't keep Fifita, Hass and Pangai can they?

And Lodge, and the NRL think it’s all above board

 

[Yossarian]

I think it increases Maguire's options. He could play Marshall at 9 if he stays on or even Walters or Reynolds.

I'm not sure you could say this has any direct implications for Marshall or Reynolds at this stage. It's clear that Reynolds can move on if he wants. Marshall would be a low cost bonus. It was bad enough relying on him so much this year...

It’s the Broncos! Of course they can!

Pamfers have come in from left wing and snagged Api

[TIGER]

@Tiger_Steve

My guess at this point is Benji is going around again, he doesn't want to have a shared send-off he wants Robbie to have his own

 

[TIGER]

@Yossarian

If we've signed Walters, Reynolds is gone

 

[supercoach]

@TheDaBoss ...Penrith’s supercoach gets his man

I read something about this in the Api Koroisau thread..

Yeah I agree. Was just saying it’s a possibility

I know which one I’d rather, but that’s us ay.

Yep sorry, bit behind :expressionless:

 

[balmain boy]

Having 5 halves in our top 30 seems like overkill.

Benji
Brooks
Reynolds
Walters
Madden

And then potentially someone like Mbye or Matto in emergency.

One would need to go.
